GAME SUMMARY

City Rain

Rating: 3.5 (22 votes cast)

Best described as "SimCity-meets-Tetris”, City Rain produces buildings that fall from the sky, which must be quickly place on a grid. Players are challenged to master the art of urban planning on the fly, requiring quick reflexes and a logical building placement that ultimately helps the community thrive and the ecology survive.

In City Rain, you play as a member of an elite environmental Swat Force in charge of restructuring cities, before they are penalized by the World Environment Protection agency. City Rain is an action-packed, yet eco-friendly, green city simulation puzzle.

As a member of the Rescue And Intervention Non-profit (RAIN) organization, your job is simple. You must rescue cities on the WEPA blacklist before they are punished by the world for being destructive to our irreplaceable natural resources. Ultimately, you must help reorganize cities so that they will become environmentally friendly and inspiring places to live. But it won't be easy. You will be constantly challenged by Bane Industries, one of the last corporations in the world that refuses to submit to WEPA environmental standards for process and production.

Are you ready for the challenge? Your work might just save our world!

This Game needs a Mouse-wheel to Play. I bought this for my laptop without a mouse and it renders the game basically unplayable. It seems like it would be a neat fun game, but I just want to warn prospective buyers that a Mouse-wheel is Necessary, so if you don't have a mouse or one with a wheel, avoid this game.

Also the Game seems to push in your face the Green Agenda, depending how you feel about that it may affect your enjoyment of the game.

The quick play mode doesn’t have any objectives other than keeping your citizens happy, healthy, employed, and safe. If those status bars deplete, the game is over. Before you begin you can specify how large of a grid you want to work with and adjust other options as well. Just like the campaign mode, you can purchase special buildings to make your city thrive. If your score is high enough, your name will be listed on the online score charts.

One thing that was frustrating was that this game would randomly crash on me. This is especially frustrating if you’re far into a mission and nearly completing it. I’m running version 1.1 and I don’t see any patches available to download.

Graphically this game is 2D and is colorful and detailed. The game runs at a set resolution and there are no options to change it. Since the resolution was wrong for my LCD it looked a little blurry.

The music is pleasant and catchy. According to the splash screen at start up, the tracks seem to be from premiumbeat.com. There is no voice acting but the sound effects are good.

Overall this is a cute and fun game for less than ten dollars. After you beat the campaign you can still do quick play and Brick Mania. You can even replay the campaign and see if you can complete the missions in better time. The online score board offers a nice carrot for those competitive gamers out there. If you like Tetris, Sim-City or the environment, I recommend checking the demo out.

City Rain review

By MaceyNeil posted 15th Mar 2011

Having only just purchased and played through a couple of levels of city rain i find myself annoyed yet willing to give it anouther go.

While the game is a light hearted casual sim style game the main problem i had in fact was with the third stage.

They set these goals for which you will go ahead and build the necessary items for and still lose.

There is no confirmation that the object will fullfill the requirement and for the sewage treatment plant it WILL in fact turn the river blue again, but it seems this is just plain not enough.

However without this 'up in the air' campaign objective play the game is in fact quite enjoyeable.

Maybe a pause function should be incorporated by the developer so you can check the objectives screen more.

As a casuual gamer the rounds are short, fun and so far bug free from what i can tell on my vista64bit edition.

It may not be worth $10 unless you're the type of person who pays good money for things like hexic and bejewelled, but it is a different kind of casual game so a fiver on special i feel was well worth it.
