This is the best city builder on the market right now, it offers a lot of verity of buildings, super massive maps and is a lot of fun to play and highly addicting.
I highly recommend this.
This game is a strong successor to the old SimCity games. It's considerably better than the current SimCity reboot. It's pretty much what you are looking for if you liked those games. It allows you to build beautiful cities that function well. The one caution I would give people is that there is less customization than some city simulation games. You zone areas instead of building most buildings, but the results are still very detailed. It feels like your city is a real city.
Cities xl is actually the most AWESOME city builder yet! but the thing is, people don't know there is MODS to make the game more awesome, they just go like: oh wow, the game's highway is boring, there isn't a lot of buildings in it, blah,blah,blah like that. Well did you know there was actually mods to make things better?
are you just too lazy to Google" does cities xl have mods?" But yes, I have to admit, the memory leak is really annoying, but once you get a PC with a better Graphics card, it shouldn't be a problem
This is really the highest score I can give to the Cities XL.Because there are many unrealistic elements about the **** a city builder game.Sounds kind of weird eh?Anyway game is enjoyable with all the nice mods.Still even in a high performance PC(because of its optimization problems I **** lags a **** it when it's on sale and if you got bored of the new Sim city.
first,without mod and **** ,i will rate it at most 5.0,it is just playable,the game default setting of placing the building is just brainless and useless.
of course the biggest problem is the lag,Game optimization is like ****
also,without mod,the plaza to build on the road side too few,and the fountain in the plaza is like paper
also,the retail need of the game setting is very unreal,u think whole 20 buildings of residents can depend on one small shop to live?
but ,thanks for it that can be modded ,and thank for that net ,this game become playable,of course,the lag problem is still here.
but,with the mod,this game become much more playable and fit the real world.
such as the basic mods :increase the retail needs,and one cheat building to make money(each one make 1 000 000(in real world i do not think city is just making money for Goverment)
and also with the tree mods,u can put plaza or put trees by urself one by one.
so it is not a bad game indeed,but because the game itself with the mod is bad,so it is only worthy to buy when 75% off.
u also need some basics on city design if u want make the city perfect.
It's a very fun addicting game am to addicted To it the 4 out 10 was for the HUGE PROBLEM of overheating causing my computer to shut off 2 time due to overheating when I put my hand on the bottom if my PC damn that thing is hot unacceptable
Cities XL Platinum (bought via Steam) is a tough game for me to rate, I don't have any of the crashing or errors I've seen mentioned here at other sites. However, I'm not really impressed with it as a sim-game. Lot of neat details, things to do that improve on SimCity4 yet, it feels half-baked, not very deep, and/or at least kind of indie-ish, despite this being 2nd/3rd iteration of the line. Only played 8-hours so far, but keeps you busy until the next SimCity release
