[chrisreamer8]

[dynomitechick21]

[MCJJ95]

hey man i just downloaded this game , the game starts but I cant make a profile.Does someone know how why I cannot make a profile?



[j6331]

you suck...

[knockerccd]

Stan you had me laughing to tears.

[ianbo1]

Is this the maker of Sim City 4 or something?

[Natsuki8000]

@ianbo1 nope

[jbklauber1]

i now agree that this game is pretty boaring

[Costerguy1234556]

@ianbo1 No it's a different company. And Sim City 4 is much better.

[ianbo1]

Please, only answer if you've played both Sim City 4 and City Life 2008. DO NOT LIE OR ANSWER WITHOUT HAVING PLAYED ENOUGH OF BOTH GAMES!!!!1 Which do you think thats better?

[Natsuki8000]

@ianbo1 sim city 4

[ellieysama]

I cant believe that Sim City 4 is better than this >>; i mean this game and Sim City Societies and Tycoon city offer a better more 3D view than Sim City yet why?

[Crazyistmanever2alt]

@ellieysama good graphics don't make up for good gameplay.

[crashnburner187]

If you don't reccomend playing this game, why the hell were you SAVING when you said that?

[TheEngiGuy]

Is Cities XL better than this?

[10Kingboy10]

@TheEngiGuy yes.

[OverlordYesh]

@boxofpi314 don't say 3000 graphics suck, 3000 puts 4 to shame.

And the quality is worse than shit. Literally. You can play catch with shit. Can you play catch with this?

[peptopro17]

honeybadger dont give a shit

[BluBoulzor]

They're zombies.

[GokaishuSonOfGouki]

wheres the music from

[pepsidonuts]

HAHAHAHHAHA!!! I love this guy lol

[ADLSTODEO]

theres cheats for it btw, press ctrl+alt+c and type "number6" to unlock all buildings, type concordia to stop citizens fighting, type midas to get 1000000 money lol

[ADLSTODEO]

ahahah this guy really hates this game, i bought it few days ago and yeah its really shit game like you can do anything you want theres nothing to gain or anything lol basically it just sucks

[JPalto]

08:44 Talk about the PHYSICS in this game. With that steep of an incline, how the FUCK does the dumpster not roll down the street? I can't see any break latches or brick blocks on the road holding it still (if you want to get out of the micro-micro level view of the break latches) because of the GRAPHICS SUCKING!!!!!!!

[supermorshu64]

@idtizu dont be racist, and just because he MAY be eastern european, does not mean he is russian.

[nevin221221]

Nice Review , a lot of people don't shove the truth like they should so you don't go out and buy a gay ass game like game informer (the magazine) way over hypes all the games they review . Your more like an IGN kinda guy witch is good , sadly people don't really like a review that says there game sucks that they spent 60$ on. But you know your game sucks if you look at the reviews after you already got the game.

[LOKBLUDOM3N]

I hate this game, even it it's a good game.

[idtizu]

The fuck with you man, go back to your tetris game.

[92BadBird]

if this game is not CoD does not mean it's awful. asshole. this game requires a little bit of intelligence and it's fun/

[blakex9]

Listening to this pisses me off.This is a great game.If you don't like a game cause you can't comprehend the fun it it,don't do a fuckin review on it.Play something else.

[Anand70707]

whoa that guy cant play for nuts!!

[frozencrazytuna]

Well smart ass, if the payoff of seeing your huge city is so bad, then why is this game and Sim City 4 so popular?

[XxxGamer5641xxX]

@frozencrazytuna As you can see in the related videos, he refers to Sim City 4 as an "Awesome" game. This one kinda sucks anyways

[bigolbuddha49]

When did Woody Allen start reviewing games?

[cowmanpigman]

he has a bad taste in games...

[WhatTheHeck5205]

This game is fine! If this reviewer had the patience, he could build a great city!

[TheMegaArchitect]

Reminds us about Cities XL....the graphics I mean....but better!!

[TheMegaArchitect]

Looks great.....Cities XL should have been better....There weren't even straight roads on it

[300STEFAN]

I love this game !!

[300STEFAN]

YES

THE GAME IS COOL

[Furnus105]

I loved playing this game, the cultural differences was awesome. But when I got to the higher ups classes, something went wrong, nobody could have any food, and it said they needed a mall, which they already had, and the economy collapsed... Anyone else have this problem too?

And btw, Stanburdman, are you trolling like hell man? xD

[Subaru787]

@Furnus105

I had this problem with hospitals

[TheRunawayiggy]

ur an asshole this game kicks ass

[jr2nd]

looks like a super simcity lol

[Justin100000186]

thanks i almost installed it on steam i will not waste space on my computer. the game looks pretty boring. what is fun about it?

[MrHappytaffy]

hes crazy. he hates it coz he sux at it

[nokuhobune]

city view was the best anything else sucked ass

[202drummerboy]

 i just watched what is he building till Reviewing the game.. he thinks that game is boring,because of he is building my dog Lessies SHIT not city

[202drummerboy]

GUYS DONT LISTEN THAT NOOB COMMENTATOR !! I PLAY THAT GAME !! yes,its hard to begin building your city,because of money and etc,but i always enjoy ! you learn different things of reality... but if you have a good computer i would advice you to play cities XL... i havent played it yet,but its like modification of City Life i guess... but also City Life is very good game... GUYS DONT GET IN YOUR MIND THAT I AM A IDIOT GAMER :D JUST love that kind of games..also i advice you to play PHARAON

[TheCeruleanEmerald]

Is the music in the background from the game? It sounds pretty good. Nice and mellow...

[matteus12345678910]

crack?

[PPSGangsti]

This game is good, so if you think is shit then you are gay..

[thezekson89]

Your mama is satisfied with this giant city when she puts it in her pussy...

[thezekson89]

You are stupid as donkey, this game is awesome! Your mum is borring!

[202drummerboy]

@thezekson89 yes !!!! you are absolutely right !! he is noob... did you build something good

? :)

[rexydallas8D]

'good' or 'bad' is in the eyes of the beholder :)

i think this looks good after i saw the expansions from Wikipedia

[Tr0g0d]

like....like...you're gay

[BaltimoreMac]

LOL @ all the old saved games.. Must not have hated this game too much eh? Also lol @ "All the Shetty ghetto neighborhoods"

[swaggywone]

this games is awful to me

[BaltimoreMac]

@swaggywone Hahaha.

[Merigan1]

Try to make people HAPPY in your city already!! :p

[Merigan1]

You really need to teach the citizen peace with radio or stuff like that. I think it's not large enough, especially when you got lots of mountains. You can really have fun with this game if you think you're God, am I right! xD

[Merigan1]

Your description makes me laugh SO MUCH OMG!!! I really like your point of view on this game. Actually, I personally really like it because I try to expand the city on the WHOLE territory. Then it became really complicated to make people live side by side when they're not from the same social category.

[FilmerGreat]

Where do you live then on Trash Ville??? This game is AWESOME!

[tiit212]

Ur fucking retarded its suposed to be low graphics cause people with shitty pc's can play the game idiot .

[BricksterDude]

@tiit212 No, the 'OPTIONS' make the game run on a shitty pc, by lowering resolution... blah blah blah. Faggot.

[swatshake111]

idiot ur like:its.....its.........''ur always trying to say smthing baaad

[swatshake111]

he doesnt like the game cuz he a poor man

[MrVideochap]

Why did you buy it if you didn't like it?

[MrVideochap]

if i had a choice, this would be my top 20.......BEST GAMES!!!

[ThePenguinsroar]

There's something philosophical in the never ending expanding

[mattclivedavison]

well if you dont like it dont play it lol i thinkb this game is awsome :D

[sp3ciaLL0n3]

Tis game ain't awful , it's freaking awsome !!!

[KarlNemen]

I love the game! 

[sixuemilian]

Why this guy don't like City Life 2008?

[murkins001]

what he saying on 0:56 ??

Its Very booring.... what???

[MrVideochap]

It's not "Awful", it's addictive.

[astraelios]

Windows Vista 7 32 and 64 bit does not support Sim City 4 but supports City Life 2008.

[RandyNeps21]

@astraelios does sim city 4 work with 32 bit windows vista?

[astraelios]

@RandyNeps21 Search for Windows Vista compatibility on google and you'll find a solution for the Windows Vista compatibility for Sim City 4 (both bits). Proceed by following the instructions from the publisher's website.

[astraelios]

"A healthy city", he quotes. "That's as far as I can go, before my brains blow up"... so, the guy doesn't have lots of "brain capacity, I quote.

[RandyNeps21]

@astraelios is it compatible??

[Darotu]

lol, you said that this game requires no critical thinking, but then you said if you are almost bankrupt, you need to ultimtley DECIDE between 2 things that you need to THINK about...

[malevolenceXXXensues]

rather play sim city 4

[SamStudentJournalist]

hahahah I love how many save games he has for someone slagging it off!!!

[o0Lukk0o]

You have a cool accent.

[prettyb0y1992]

The music is awesome, but thats about it!

[otonanoC]

Game is fun when you stoke the fires of class warfare between the Have Nots and the Elites. Make them fight by intentionally placing them near each other in your city.

[SclarBBWlovr]

yeah i know what u mean with all the utilities like those elites need 3 fucking hospitals. Thats why i use money cheats but once you get it going some businesses earn you $15,000 oh and dont spread stuff out that far

[SclarBBWlovr]

i like it its fun

[wallofdeath123]

you really just have no sense of enjoyment....

[seanowbo]

Tom Wiseau loves this game 

[marcopolo3001]

So this was the precursor to Cities XL. I actually appreciate the growing pains this went through to make bigger and better city simulators a reality. I am sure Cities XL 2011 will one day be seen as the game that kept the interest going for this genre. That and if any future Simcity comes out.

Come on Maxis, pull your thumbs out and stop masturbating to Sims Medieval. You need to address your fans, and start making a worthy successor to Simcity 4 hopefully with Directx11 and multicore support

[walentaz]

Boring game, just built 4million population city and uninstalled the game.. You get elite and further there is nothing interesting...

[handresxz]

i love this game i build a big city about 2 million people with a 34 percent elite class de creme

it takes time to understand how to please the people and give then the opportunity to go to school so they can became a high class too.

[Makrillol]

This game isnt aweful! Its complicated and has a very deep system. so i understand if you're too retarded to play the game correctly - cuz then it would be boring.

[godzillaisbeast1]

this game is pretty fun I don't know why you don't like it. I built a city the size of Chicago with this game one time and the money is tough but you can use a simple money cheat for a good start. I do agree that simcity is better but this game was fun too

[TheMhn5]

@godzillaisbeast1

you'll love minecraft then

[ESfilming]

it's not awful, it's little bit awful, and hard, and stupid tutorial

[cerealsgood]

when you really start unlocking everything, it gets awsome! U just gotta wait. I have the cheat codes on my channel

[sucarnie]

i would play this game, when i am bored of life lol

[duerdum9]

He's really pissed at 2:13 (on screen)

[ScreamingDoom]

I'm confused... you at once complain that you have to make difficult choices on utilities, but then complain that you don't. So... which is it? And why is making difficult choices a bad thing; that was pretty much the entire premise of SimCity, after all.

[CharlieTeague]

What do you mean by chestile thinking?

[HeWhoPlaysSims3]

lol at 8:45 the garbage thingy is on wheels and its on a slant. This game also has no gravitational physics

[apocalipsenerd]

AND DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM BY I LOOKING AT MY CITY WHICH HAS 50+% ELITE AND NO HAVE NOTS,BLUE COLLARS OR FRINGE? I LIKE WALK ON MY CITY AND LOOKING AT THE SKYCRAPPERS (which are pretty much everywhere :P) i understand you want to make funny videos and may not really like the game but i dont think its that bad. first i played with edit mode using cheats but then went to normal game with no cheats and when i saw my city had 100M income i was like, ZOMG I DID IT WITHOUT CHEATS! :3

[kxr225522]

Its not that bad the only thing i don't like is that people fight each other base on social class.

[failtolawl]

haha I liked this game.. even though sc4 is extremely better, I lvoe this game as well, cities xl is a lot better as well

[AdamantSystems]

I like the graphics, and they're beautiful, but still, they need to improve the graphics.

They should make SimCity Life 2008. Graphics of City Life 2008, but everything else SimCity. :)

But that idea was already created.. -_-

[SCHIZOPHRENlC]

COSTSTSTSTS... lol.

[AlconSk8]

boring

[BeyondChange]

This guys doesn't like MMO's. He just admitted. it. He doesn't like anything in life and if a game isn't like a chess game, which is a strategy type of game, then he will not want to play it. I think this guy is a miserable person and needs to stop trash talking a ok game.

[sub2me4areview]

@BeyondChange Smart people don't like MMOs. Stan says a SimCity style game should HAVE Chess Type gameplay because it IS a stragedy game.

[Lukeno52]

Sounds like a terrible Sim City rival. xD

[MotweraCity]

there is cheats for this game really there is money and unlock cheat no need for trainer

[pR05t0]

i think you haven't played hard core style :D

look at my city and then try to do it ;)

img21.imagevenue. com/img.php?image=03753_nq_122­_9lo.JPG

[HitlodeuPT]

This game seems to me not so bad as you portrait in this review Stan. Of course that in terms of strategy or in even challenge cannot be compared with Sim City series, but it is a type a game that can easily stimulate your creativity and entertain you when you are very bored.

[Lastoneremains]

I like your reviews and all but seriously... this is a sad review

[FacepunchChris]

Boohoo, graphics makes the game.

[jak795]

@FacepunchChris not really

[DustofDryBones]

Ugh... this guy is like a carpenter who blames his tools. "This is an ugly game" no shit sherlock: stop spamming the same buildings everywhere. "It doesn't matter where you put things" that is the most ignorant thing I've ever heard. What the hell, man: you need to place educational, safety, retail and leisure services strategically if you want a good balance of income. *looks at negative monthly income* Yeah, seriously.

[itex136]

lol you sucks this game is for these that likes puzzels and want to relax and be creative wanna build and destroy stuff get lego or sim city then you have what you looking for ;)

[rebecationable]

I think he hates it hahaha I like the sims in general a lot :-P

[Limskjordan]

Ok.. I understand your comparison with Sim City 4. My mistake.. Yes, City Life 2008 is a COMPLETE pile of crap.

[Limskjordan]

Why don't you consider people who enjoy playing such a game?!

[LesaneRecords]

How do i earn money? I have -65 000 $ at this point...

[itex136]

@LesaneRecords you need to make sure to have enough of profitble buissnes that makes money for you like build 10 residents in a area and make sure you have 1 cop 1grosery 1 hospital 1 school and so on around them so they cover the resident area and when you done that you dont have to think about that any more and can build an road real close the resident and along that road just build alot of work places that makes money for you and repeat that over and over then you have it and are done ;)

[TheCleardeath]

STan 4 president lol

[TheCleardeath]

i dont care what stan says im gonna get this game to waste my time lmaoooo xd sorry stan still love ya show but this game is awosome if you are into city sims lol

[ElegyForTheMasses]

I don't see the issue here, no it's not as good as sim city 4 but I enjoy this game. It's very easy and nice to relax with every once in a while.

[travisrcool]

I enjoy some games like this as they can be fun to pass time. I've played many games like this and their ok. I have to admit that they can get REALLY tedious at Times.

[fluffyglobz]

Well, the cities are adorable, I must say.

But from what it sounds like, it has about as much replay value as Harvest Moon games. Sure, I love them a bunch, but it's JUST LIKE THIS.

City Life: Do the SAME THING all the time, only to finally reach your goal and have NOTHING ELSE TO DO.

Harvest Moon: See above. You plant crops, get married, and get animals. You're done. There is nothing left to do.

Video game industry, I am disappoint.

[TheCleardeath]

@fluffyglobz you forgot one thing the new harvest moon has quest and has mission thats the old harvest moon im a HM fan my self :P i love farming eheeheh

[fluffyglobz]

@TheCleardeath "There is nothing left to do"

Plus, the quests are extremely annoying and stupid.

And they take, like, 40 seconds to do.

[3333kdawg]

consider this: if this game was more america based, as in, you start your city w/ chris columbus and you colonize a nation as opposed to a single city, but still going through things like the Great Depression and plagues and things. Game developers im lookin at you

[coffeeandsoup]

shetty??? what,are you from new jersey?

[InternetIncarnate]

$2500 for a hospital? Is it made of card board? Is surgery conducted with a spork? Hah, this game is a little silly.

[supermick12]

To Really Enjoy These kind of games you have to CHEAT!

[Cityman61]

Of course you find this game crap, you only built like ten houses so you can't develop

[Sorrowisyourdemon]

"I don't recommend playing this game" *clicks save file*

[howtofuckamockinbird]

@Sorrowisyourdemon hahahahahaahahah FUCK

[andreasni1995]

@Sorrowisyourdemon If you can not figure out how to play this game and you can not create a beautiful city. If you can not improve the balance or you simply too lazy to build a city, do not say it's a bad game and you do not recommend to play it. SAVE files downloaded those who do not have enough intelligence to do it himself.

The game is very good. I advise everyone. EVERYONE!!!

[FelipeOrochi]

@Sorrowisyourdemon LOL RIFLMAOOTSC

[Simtertown]

simcity 4 is better than this game, click thumbs up or thumbs down. I just want to know because simcity 4 is the better.

[MrRitaskeeter]

@Simtertown Guess me too.

[anonymous133711]

ur city sux thats all

[d1an45]

your a retard,give them a break its their first game. see their new game cities xl which is better. Also when u develope a city go look around the streets for a bit i once saw some bmw drift into a side walk and then to mafias or gang started shooting smgs everywhere

[ZiomASek300]

@d1an45 dude thi is not actually a serious review

have u seen his other videos?

yeah thenn shut up

[d1an45]

your a retard,give them a break its their first game. see their new game cities xl which is better

[DAnOOBSan]

Even Simcity Societies was better than this, lol.

[chrisjericho541]

Stan you should make an awful game review of the bouncer on ps2

[MotweraCity]

>:( this game is not awful

[tdiman46]

I think this game is from 1993.

[lancededcena123]

@tdiman46 The 1st versionis 2006,this is from 2008

[tdiman46]

@lancededcena123 lol i knew that it was a joke :P

[97ginoVDB]

i could listen to your voice all day.....no homo

[comehome14]

WORSHIP THE BURGER GOD

[DRauck]

I'm pretty sure at around 8:40 that thing on wheels should be rolling down the hill destroying everything it runs into. Probably would make the game more exciting, too

[sol200997]

i dont know my people dont like this game - i love it, the graphics are brilliant, you can zoom right down smoothly, you can get skyscrapers early on and social culturual tensions makes for strategic sim urban planning. i give this 8/10

[MatheusMK3]

@sol200997 Opinions... I'm really excited to play this game (I got the 2008 expansion yesterday instead of the base game... :rolleyes:)

The guys that don't like it by the graphics are the ones that focus on the graphics, not the gameplay... =)

[TheXBladeist]

Oh my god this looks increbly weird.

[UKRThracian]

I had this game. It was alright but pretty boring and hard.

[KitKat5533]

I have this game and IT"S THE WORST GAME EVER!!!1

[hongpingmike]

love your vids!!! keep it up!!

[sol200997]

this game is awesome - great graphics, early skyscrapers, fun, great graphics

[t3rr411]

this is worse than Sim city deluxe 4 and i made a neighborhood that just ate money like crazy

[sebamkfan]

the best simcity-type building game is simcity 2000
