About City Life
Parents need to know that this game has many educational aspects and can teach some of the basics of city planning, economics, and so on. Players may experience riots, acts of arson, and other forms of violence -- including organized crime -- if tension between social classes gets too high.

Families Can Talk About

Danger - Installs Starforce software on your PC
This looked like a great game from what I read on this website. I was going to buy it for my son. Then I checked out Amazon.com & there were numerous complaints about the Starforce software that this installs on your PC that can cause great damage. Too bad. Sounded like fun.
