Some quotes from the review article:

Opinion: I’ve long been a fan of Sim City and the Caesar games for Windows and I think that these types of building games work very well on mobile platforms that utilize touch. It’s something I’m sure a lot of people will find familiar and more importantly, a lot of fun. I enjoyed a new setting to build a city in and the fresh approach to building roads and upgrading buildings make this feel like a PC game brought down for smartphones and not just a poor attempt to clone Sim City. If you remember the days of Sim City 3000 or even Sim City 4, as I do, then you’re going to really enjoy this. Ratings
  • Speed (3/5) – For me, on my One X, things weren’t as smooth as I thought they would be but, it’s not slow and there were no issues playing the game.
  • Features (4/5) – City Island is a well-packed game and as City Building games go, this is one of the best on Android.
  • Theme (4/5) – The game has a good overall look and feel however, there were perhaps too many menus to go through in the tutorial.
  • Overall (4/5) – Newcomers to the genre will like this game as much as those that are from a Sim City background and it’s very easy to pick up and play whenever and wherever you are.
Pros
  • Tutorial helps new players to get to grips with the game quickly and easily.
  • Unique buildings will help you create your very own city.
  • Upgrading homes and buildings is a better approach to starting again.
  • Keeping an eye on the happiness of the City helps with that sense of accomplishment.
Cons
  • Tutorial is perhaps a little clunkier that it needs to be.
  • Some buildings take a long time to build.
Conclusion: While are some niggles with the game, I can honestly say that this is one of the better City Building games that I’ve played on Android. City Island doesn’t try to mess with the formula too much, which is great as Sparkling Society have managed to deliver a solid entry into the genre that will keep you busy for hours and hours. The whole point behind City Builders is that you can look upon your creation and be happy with what you’ve accomplished. This is a game that all should try out on Android and, best of all, it’s free!
