Playing Social City On Facebook

Social City is a brand new game on Facebook in which players build their very own city, and looks like it could be a big hit. There is a lot of freedom in Social City - you are able to build a town exactly the way you want. They have a number of options about how to build their town and the levels of complexity that grow with it.

Anyone who has played SimCity or social renditions thereof will have no trouble picking up the way Social City is played. You need to watch out for things like money (in-game currency), the number of people in your city, and their general well being while playing Social City.

Just released a few days ago by Playdom (who also created Sorority Life and Tiki Farm), Social City starts players out with a small city. You can make your city grow larger by constructing more and more things, and shaping your city so that more people will come. Players start with a brief Social City walkthrough in which players learn to keep the population happy by doing things like building places for leisure activities and assigning jobs in the city’s various factories.

Now in order to get more people in your city, you need to provide for them - this means building hotels, apartments and houses that they are able to live in. To keep the population content, players build leisure buildings. They each grant a set amount of happiness. In order to make in-game currency you will need to build numerous factories. The larger your population is, the more factories and money you can make.

The most important thing in Social City is to keep your residents happy, and continue to build more and more factories, in order to maintain an income. You are able to expand your city by purchasing expansions that will increase the borders around which you can build (this way, more people can come to your city). Players can also make achievements which they can share with other Social City Facebook players. You are able to make your city different from anyone elses by building things like trees and flowers, and various other attractions. There is a lot of things to accomplish in this game even when you just start out.

There are several things that make Social City look like a game that will become a hit. The graphics are great looking and the user interface is intuitive. The game takes place at a quick pace, with barely any lag time. There are a number of other games on Facebook by Playdom and it seems likely that Social City will start to get a decent following too.

There are very few Social City tips out on the internet now just because Social City is so new, and the game is being improved all the time. For one thing, you can’t rotate buildings and objects. Because you can’t rotate buildings, sometimes the back of a building will be facing the street, and the front of the building will be faced towards empty space. Hopefully improvements will be made to the game in future.
