CDV Gets Urban with City
Life for PC
March 7, 2006 – CDV Software Entertainment
USA today announced a publishing agreement with Monte Cristo to release the
English language version of City Life in North America. City
Life, in development by Monte Cristo, is a city builder that gives players
the opportunity to build and manage a modern day metropolis in a fully 3D world.
In the game, players will make decisions that will affect the lives of millions
of citizens, for better or worse. CDV will ship City Life this
summer.
City Life takes the city building genre
into the 21st century with a powerful 3D engine and an exciting variety of
gameplay features. In the game, players will take on the role of urban planner
and real estate developer, creating a metropolitan paradise from dozens of
beautifully rendered structures – including elaborately crafted villas and
ultra-modern skyscrapers. City Life comprises the full city building
experience, requiring players to take into account the need for municipal
services, education, entertainment and a complete infrastructure system while
maintaining harmony between the game's six distinct social classes. The graphics
engine features a level of detail unmatched in the genre, allowing players to
walk the streets of their cities, or zoom out to multiple levels for a better
view of the overall action. A custom map editor will allow players to expand
upon the 22 maps included with the game, creating near limitless replay value.
