iPhone App: Virtual Villagers

Filed under Consumer, Gamer | Posted by Saphrym

Ok. If you’ve got an iPhone1 or iPod Touch, you’ve really got to try this game. I’ve played the computer versions but it’s never been something for me to stick with them. But, the concept of playing the game every once in a while to check on your villagers and how they are doing is perfect for mobile gaming.

I bought this game yesterday and have played it for about 10 minutes at a time in various locations. For instance, while waiting for High School Musical 3 to start2, I checked on my villagers to see how well they were building the school in their village. I also got some more research started and played a few mini games to get their progress going a little faster. All of this within a 6 or 7 minute stretch while sitting in the middle of the theater.

Mobile games are great for those few minutes here and there lifestyles. And this game lets you play something very similar to the Sims in concept any place you want. Since I have my iPhone everywhere I go, this is a great game to have. It’s definitely worth the pittance3 I paid for it. My rule is I must get at least one hour per $5.00 I spend on a game. Well, with all of the time I’ve put into this game and will put into this game, I’ll definitely get my money’s worth.

You’ve definitely got to play it if you’re a fan of the Sims and like easy to pick up and quick to play games. Check it out here:

    It costs money? Not that I care, but how much, how long, etc? Looks cute but fun… (btw, came in via Twitter)

    @Sam Freedom: Hey Sam. Long time. But yes, it costs $8. But that’s cheaper than the $20 per for the PC versions. So far I’ve gotten about 2 hours logged into it and it looks like there will be about two or three times as much as I’ve only unlocked about 20 of 50 of the goals for the game. So 4 to 6 hours is not bad for $8.00 and I have no idea if there will be more to do once those are unlocked.
