By: As of January 4, 2010, CityVille finally became the “top Facebook game” and reached 86.2 million of regular based users. CityVille beat the former “top Facebook game,” FarmVille, with 83.6 million users.The reports are based from the monthly active users which was tracked by AppData.com.
Unlike Farmville, you cannot only plant seeds but you can also build houses, buildings, businesses, roads, and many more. You can also be a mayor of your own city and a governor by achieving certain goals. You can build your own franchise of your business in your friends’ city and you can also buy goods and coins from your friends. There are many things that you can do in CityVille and if you want to level up fast, you don’t need to search on how to get free CityVille cash, you just need hundreds to thousands of friends. Another feature which makes it more popular than Farmville, is that the setting is not only based in the farm where you have to wait until your crops grow. In CityVille, you can build many business establishments that gives you cash and XP instantly because these rewards are not based in time but based in your city’s population. And lastly, the “Bonus Meter” is easier to fill which makes the game exciting and interesting.
Though CityVille beat FarmVille with 58 million regular users, the former top game is still following CityVille as the second biggest app in Facebook. Below is the list of top apps in the internet:
