The goal of My City is to build your own City and populate it by various means.  The game is presented in the same 3D landscape we know from Sim City, the difference is in how you build your city. In order to add buildings and such to your city, you need to add citizens; there are about 100 different types of citizens in all.  Each citizen has a purpose such as Factory Worker, Lawyer, Detective, Doctor etc. etc.  And when you add a citizen the game adds a corresponding building to your city.  For example, adding a doctor will add a hospital, adding a factory worker will add a factory.  You are limited in the amount of citizens that you can add per day and the amount of citizens you start the game with.    The application has very strong monetizing potential since you can purchase citizens outright via PayPal for $2 per citizen.  Alternatively you can perform various advertising related tasks like visiting sponsor websites to earn citizens without having to pay.  You can invite your friends to join your city so they can add their citizens to your city.  This aspect makes the application highly viral and effective and growing organically using invites.  I like the idea of the game, however, I think it would be more interesting if you were to start the game with more citizens, since you can only add 3 citizens every day, after you add them there’s not much else to do, even if you have more than 3 citizens in your inventory.  You can always marvel at your friend’s cities and the world’s biggest cities but other than that the application gets really boring really fast.  The game only really gets interesting is if you have a really large city where you have to manage it by requesting people to add needed citizens, but until you reach that kind of level (which unless you have a lot of friends)  will take quite a long time.   But if you are a fan of the original Sim City, you will probably enjoy playing this game.

According to AppData, My City has a monthly active user base of approximatly 600k players.
