My review on US store as AG4S :

"I like it...!!! A perfect dose of fun for my building obsession.
Love the way it gives huge initial money to start and excited with its random collectibles.
It's definitely not cute and definitely not simple, but oh my, what an enjoyable complexity!!!"

My Country is a rewarding experience rich in developer polish! Building your "Dream City" has never looked this good thanks to the amazing iphone graphics! Super smooth gameplay defines My Country's interface, but I found the music/sounds to be most enjoyable. Plugging in headphones to enjoy the audio turned into a fantastic experience! Unique gameplay misions progress perfectly helping me maintain control, without pulling my hair out. (Thank you to the tutorial for that also!!!) Touchscreen interface was made for this game as navigation is very fluent and seemless. I plan on playing My Country often as it helps me relax like no other game can. An experience this unique is rare and should not be passed up!

Extremely Impressive Accomplishment!

"One of the BEST games on the iPhone!

Containing sophisticated style, simplistic details and an extremely polished interface, My Country hasn't overlooked any of the necessary details. Anything you'll need for the most complete sim gaming experience is right here, including a brand new bus transit system! (Very awesome!) Viewing the ever changing surroundings is beautiful graphically as your dream city evolves! My Country easily looks and plays better than any other sim and I've played a ton of them! The interface is delightfully easy to navigate, making novices feel like pro's within a matter of minutes! Being able to complete tasks and choose varied expansions to "personalize" your country is really what makes this title stand out from the crowd. Each one of this developers titles has gotten better and better, but this one is extremely impressive!"

Thank you very much for the contest!

A solid freemium city simulation that delivers

My Country may mislead you with its title, but the game is a classic city simulation game with plenty of depth, all packed into your iPhone. Since I am a fan of SimCity, I was surprised to find this gem of a game among the many sim-strategy genre available in the AppStore. The most accurate first impression I had is that its SimCity with a freemium model, and that's really not a bad thing at all. I was wrong, though in a good way. My Country has its own appeal and is far from being "just another clone" of SimCity.

In My Country, you have to plan your city accordingly so that you have the right balance of building types so that they complement each other. For example, building a taxi stand requires taxi driver as a worker, to hire a taxi driver, you need 3 items, Taxi Sign, GPS and Taxi Radio, which you can find by doing certain tasks like upgrading a building, collecting income from a building or adding a building. This goes for all the 55 professionals you have to hire for the building that requires them. You have several types of building including Residential, Business, Industry, Ecology, Energy, Transit and even exclusives that its easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of things you have to build.

With all the buildings you put around the map, you need to also consider adding energy with windmills or plants and also to maintain a good ecology rating, by adding greenery like trees and parks. Sometimes these are requirements for certain buildings, which mean no stone was left unturned for this game, you need to explore every single feature included in this game in order for you to play this game. Of course, with the freemium nature of the game, you can fly through the game if you spend your cash with the IAPs or you can sit back and enjoy the ride and play the game everyday, playing it regularly the same way you would water your plants, or feed your pets. The good thing is that, for the first time, you have the option of spending ingame cash to speed things up instead of solely requiring the use of credits bought with IAPs (called CountryBucks). This is a very, very good decision on the devs end, I'd say.

Graphics-wise, the buildings look great on the Retina display. You can zoom in and out and appreciate the finer details like cars, trucks, limos rolling around your city and also people walking on the streets, making you feel like you're really managing a living, breathing city. The attention to detail on the building is brilliant and the color palette, bright and saturated. The menus work as they should, and I haven't had any trouble going thru different menus. They just work, and function just like I'd expect them to be. Also, if you're into social networking, you can Facebook-share your town pics and level ups.

Overall, I love My Country, and though I was a bit overwhelmed, I understood that I need to really think about the city I'm planning and all this, on my iPhone. There is a definite learning curve, but I know for sure that by learning the mechanics of creating your dream city can be an intensely rewarding experience in the long run. The length of the game is a definite plus, meaning that it'll be there on my iPhone for quite a bit, being up there with other long-term games I play like Kairosoft's games, Tiny Tower, and of course, Sim City on the iPad. I give this game a 5 out of 5 for the well-thought and super polished gameplay it offers, and all this for FREE. Wow. Just download it already.

Good luck guys and congrats on the charts.

Hm, found out My Country venture (quests) a bit not intelligent like I already have certain building / industry on my country and it can't detect the building and ask me to build again and some industry limited to build one or two only. I know I can demolish the building and built again, but that is not the point, right? Hopefully, this can be fixed in next update!

I'm really hoping to win... Good luck everyone, this is MAJOR! Thanks for the awesome game also! You're climbing the charts fast and it's well deserved.

I truly adore this game, it really teaches you something about the building of cities; especially when it comes to fiscal management, borrowing funds and soaring into debt.
I find it amazing when you seep into debt that the city still manages to grow even when you've gone over the debt limit; at this stage is quite enjoyable to watch your debt stack.
I definitely recommend this game! It is a true time filler, one you can never put down!

Great Game now fits in your pocket
Four days ago I discovered My country for Ipad,my very first attempt at playing a Sim game....... I can't stop playing it I'm one day away from getting the "special building" and I can't wait. I don't know if this is how it is with other Sim games but this one is incredible. Now that its on the iphone I can sneak it with me to work to play ( do you know how hard it is to hide an Ipad)
The controls are simple(plus they start you off with a tutorial) you can just pick up and play no long drawn out procedure you simply buy the item you want (house, business, school etc) build it, then hire the required people to work there (police for police station) its that simple the game shows you exactly who and what you need for each place you buy

You earn money from houses from the tenants living there depending on the size and how many people live there you can upgrade your properties and make more more off them.The real money however comes from launching contracts with different businesses operating in your country the bigger and more expensive the office or building the more profits you can make cha ching

Spend your Country-Bucks wisely and you can open buildings instantly without the regular requirements,if you run out there's IAP's to buy more.But here's my best reason for recommending this game ......Its your country, you can do as you please you can make a beautiful houseing development area or fill it with parks, restaurants cinemas factories or save up and buy the World Trade Center

I'm building my own little new york complete with skyscrapers high rise buildings stock exchange the works, but that just my country, go build your own
