Airport City is one of the "free" apps that you can find in the Play Store in android phones. The game itself is free to download but you can also use your real money to purchase "airport cash" to upgrade the items in the game.

- What the game is about-
In the games, you get to build your personal airport and send flights into the sky. Apart from building the airport, you also get to build the city to support it.

Besides, you also get to manage the airport by arranging different flights to land on the runways, send flights to different areas of the world to collect items and complete challenges.

- So what do you actually do?-
In relation to the supporting city, what you need to do is similar to other games of the same type. You clear the land, building the building and collect earnings and passengers from the buildings. The same apply for the airport, you get to build the hangers, runways and control towers, etc. You need to continue upgrading the buildings so that you can accommodate bigger and more modern planes.

In relation to the flight themselves, you have to send your planes to different destinations. Before you send off a flight, you have to get enough passengers and certain type of aircraft and items to fly to a certain destination. In return, you can import rare items and money.

- What I like about this game-
They have a good collection of destination places. The collectibles in the city are also reflecting the features of different cities. The sounds and graphs are also of decent quality. Controlling is also easy.

- What I don't like about this game-
It takes a long time to load the game (I am using HTC XE sensation which has a dual core processor and I have no problem running other apps).

Earning coins from the game was hard. You can only get tiny amount of coins from the buildings and the flights and upgrading the buildings are extremely expensive. Besides, you need a lot of special items (which are only available if you have the airport cash) to upgrade the items or to repair the flights! And repairing the flights is extremely important in the game. There is a time that all my aircrafts were broken down and there's no way I can proceed the game anymore because I don't have the items to repair the planes!

I am giving this game one star because you can never make any progress until you pay real cash.

Unlike many other games of similar type, which you can earn a small number of "airport cash" (or its equivalent) by achieving higher levels, you can't get any airport cash unless you pay for them. It means that you will basically get stuck in a certain level of the game unless you play. And up to that point, I stop playing the game.
