Zynga has announced that they have launched their latest social game in CityVille. The game, which sounds an awful lot like SimCity, allows players to build up a city and interact with other people’s cities. It will be Zynga’s first international launch.

CityVille is where Monopoly meets Main Street,” said Sean Kelly, GM of CityVille. “We are thrilled to bring the world our most social game to date building on the best-of-breed gameplay that Zynga fine-tuned with FarmVille and FrontierVille. Instead of harvesting crops you’re harvesting your neighborhood, instead of clearing your friend’s frontier you’re working on a friend’s franchise. We hope players from around the world have as much fun playing CityVille as we had building it.”
