A sequel to the hugely popular location-based game, MyTown 2 employs the same tried-and-tested strategy of the original app, marrying city-building gameplay with geolocation to let players design a personalized town filled with their favorite real-life haunts. MyTown 2 uses the iPhone’s GPS to detect a user’s current position, then displays local businesses that players can toss right into their virtual city. Of course, the requisite “check-in” is also available, but now it gives users the added ability to collect rewards for their town (coins, XP points and special bonuses). If you’ve ever enjoyed those PC Sims games of old, you’re already primed to love MyTown 2. Its twist of a real-life exploration element takes the app above and beyond the ordinary city-building experience, making it thoroughly addicting.
