The original Virtual City game was mission based, and had you traveling all over the country to manage different cities almost every time. A bakery will cost you around $13,500, whereas it used to cost only around $5000.Ī portion of these changes I can see as necessary. On top of that, buildings also cost a whole lot more to purchase this time around. In Playground, you’re looking at $10-$25 per delivery. In the original Virtual City, each delivery of a good to another building would net you an easy $400-$600 depending on which good you were delivering. You see, the way the economy works in Virtual City Playground is completely off kilter from the original game. You will have to wait days to make enough cash to build just one of these. The problem is that you don’t have enough money to get all of these buildings at once. In order to do that, you have to buy a wheat farm, dairy farm, a grain mill, bakery and a shopping mall. One of your first goals is to get a production line of pies running. This, however, is where the problems first arrive and the brick wall of fun was hit. The core ideas remain the same as in the first game: you run a city, and managing the garage and delivery truck remains where you’ll be spending most of your time.
VIRTUAL CITY PLAYGROUND HD MONEY GLITCH HOW TO
Upon launching the game, I was greeted with a small tutorial noting how to play and immediately noticed that this was not exactly the Virtual City I used to know and love, this was now a different animal. Virtual City Playground is a sequel of sorts of the original Virtual City that released last year on the iPhone and iPad.
And while the freemiumization of a franchise means it will be free, it does not necessarily mean it will be a better experience. While Virtual City Playground is certainly a competent freemium offering, players of the original game will likely be put off by the severe changes that were made to the core mechanics and gameplay.
Virtual City Playground HD proves that not every game should go freemium
