### 5/5 — Best Game I’ve Had

*2022-12-25, version 9.6.1*

After 10 years of playing this game, I am finally losing interest. Of course at the beginning it takes awhile to start making money, and it is hard to keep your player strong but overall I have learned a lot and this game has to be good to keep someone entertained for a decade. For me personally, this game has trained me for the investments I’m making now in real life. Thanks to this game, my life has progressed outside of iOS. 
Inside those 10 years, growing your empire takes time and is entertaining. Like most things, if you’re patient and know what you’re doing, this is one of the best games you can play. Especially if you’re actually involved in it. 
10/10 mobile game.

### 2/5 — Make more room for hood expansion!!!

*2022-07-19, version 9.6.1*

I’m maxed out on my hood and can’t expand anymore, therefore I have no room left for new buildings. Also you should make it so we can have more than just 500 in our mafia. You should make it 1,500. I give 5 stars, but it seems as if the developers have given up on this game despite all the long time players that still play and spend a lot of money.

### 2/5 — Deca no better then Gree

*2022-07-12, version 9.6.1*

I started this game 13 years ago went to Federal Prison , on house arrest so I downloaded it again … of course I gave my account away now it’s impossible to compete the ip is not anywhere close to somewhat even playing field so really disappointed

### 4/5 — Fun game to play

*2022-05-07, version 9.6.1*

I love playing this game. I’m pretty busy with life so I don’t mind all the time the game waste but I just wish they will have a update (new buildings and decorations)

### 1/5 — What a waste

*2021-12-28, version 9.6.0*

This game used to be amazing. Fun events and  interaction with other players. But now I’m 10 years into playing this game and it’s a waste. I can’t level up anymore, I have countless piles of money I can’t spend and worst of all, I have to delete old buildings for space to build the new ones. 

Can we get a solid update, please? Or if the game is dead in the water, stop pushing updates. I’m really missing the days when this was run by FUNZIO. You even make GREE(d) look like a saint.

### 4/5 — No longer fun

*2021-08-26, version 9.5.1*

I have expanded my city to the max now and have no more room to build so no need to make money and no need to play ☹️

### 1/5 — Meh

*2021-06-29, version 9.5.0*

Did a expand , didn’t expand and try made me do it again lol. Delete . 
Plus every single thing cost money, no pride at all in pay to play games . Many free games are straight up killing it 10x better than this crap. People buy skins ect on other games and that’s fine but to play the actual game it’s all real work. Maybe you should learn a thing or two sellouts .

### 3/5 — Used to be a fun game

*2021-05-30, version 9.5.0*

But now, I’ve been sitting at level 300 which is the highest level for like 3 years. So I have less motivation to keep playing. Maybe create more levels to like 500 and I would go back to playing daily. And even putting money into the app

### 3/5 — Need more space for new buildings.

*2021-01-27, version 9.4.1*

Please guys work on an update that allows the players to expand more, because right now I have very little space for the new buildings that are to come, and the app tells me I’ve expanded to the maximum, hope this message reaches you guys thanks.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2021-01-04, version 9.4.0*

Love this game I’ve been playing for many years (almost 9) no complaints but just one please update the game and please add new expansions for land I have run out of space and want to build new buildings but I don’t want to sell the old buildings also add storage for buildings please thank you
