    A positive surprise, a remarkable "public transport tycoon" game from a brand new dev team that clears all the basic hurdles of the genre and manages to be entertaining. Traffic simulation needs some fixes, but otherwise quite polished and beautiful - just make sure your video card is good enough.

    Cities in Motion is a beautiful, deep and engaging economic strategy game. Making sure that the public transit system runs smoothly is highly addictive, though constant traffic jams will probably frustrate new players.

    Notwithstanding a few little imperfections, Cities in Motion is really complete from every side, including the unbeatable price.

    It's not without its quirks but Cities In Motion is a dependable heir to the transport sim genre's throne.

    Difficult, nerdy, tedious but satisfying. What more could you want in a lover? [May 2011, p.70]

    Cities in Motion is an innovative and well thought through tycoon-game. By putting the focus on the managing of public transport in the cities, the game distinguishes itself from other tycoon-games. The concept has been worked out well as a whole, but the balance in gameplay could've used more refinement.

    Cities in Motion is a good example of what a young Finnish game studio is capable of: 3D graphics and programming. Good games remain beyond their reach so far. [Mar 2011]

Of course it isn't going to match real life exactly, but it works well for what it is trying to do: be a decent simulation of transportation (think somewhere between Railroad Tycoon and Sim City). Graphics and interface are good, and I am impressed with the overall rendering. The accuracy is a bit simplified, but is still good.… Expand

Sure the performance could be better and the campaign quests are quite silly but nevertheless it is addictingly fun to play. Definetly recommended for gamers who like simulation style games.… Expand

The details are amazing and the graphics just really cool! The game runs smoothly, even if lots of vehicles and people are moving around the cities. Some minor issues found during the first day of playing, but nothing that worries me and the developers seems to be aware of it and works closely together with community to make the game better. I'm looking forward to see Cities in Motion grow and will probably spend hours playing this game!… Expand

    It is a fairly simple game, only 400 MB or so, not too many missions. Its a bit clunky still, like placing metro stations can be a pain, and I cant find an undo button when it is really needed, but all in all a few nights playing and def worth 10 bucks. Oh, but I hate DLC, so I should have given it only a 7 instead of an 8. If Paradox want a following, go the great game and free add-ons model!    … Expand
