What real reviews say
★★★★★ Best city game I could play this game for hours it’s awesome I build a city then I free roam it it’s like Roblox but you make your own game its so fun
★★★★★ Pocket City Fan This game is exactly what is promised. It is fun to play as well as easy to learn short cuts as well as master techniques. If I could ask for a couple of updates, they would be more leisure sites and punishment for the criminals…they evade capture!
