What's the Difference

[mountanddo 0]

I am so confused.  What is the difference between all of these games.  City Life, City Life Deluxe, City Life World Edition, Cities Unlimited and City Life 2008?  It sounds like they are all the same game!

Please help me to understand which ones to buy and which ones to wait to come out.

Cities Unlimited has not been released yet - it is made by the same company which made City Life, but could be quite different. It is still in the development stages.

City Life was released a couple of years ago. City Life World Edition was an expansion pack for the original. From my understanding, City Life 2008 is a 3rd expansion pack, but I am still rather uncertain about that.

Hope that helps.

Is city life deluxe the same as city life world edition?

According to this: http://www.cdv-forum.com/cdvboard/english/showthread.php?t=56586

(American distributor of City Life)

City Life: World Edition is the North American retail product, officially supported by CDV USA; it will ship in late January. It will retail for $29.99 and will offer an additional rebate for owners with a proof-of-purchase of the original. It is a stand-alone product that does not require you to own the original and it will ship without Star Force copy protection. You can currently pre-oder this product from Amazon.com and from EB Games/GameStop and it will ship on or about January 29, 2007 in the USA and Canada.

City Life: Deluxe is an online distribution product only, released and supported directly by Monte Cristo. From what I understand, the content in City Life: Deluxe is identical to our title; the main difference is that you must download CLD, you will need your original game launch disk (does contain Star Force), and for any support issues (including the types of questions already posted on this forum) you will need to contact MonteCristo at support@montecristogames.com.quote>

Hope that helps!

And yes, City Life Deluxe and World edition are the same just two different territories: Deluxe for Europe and World Edition for North America.
