Um... I had to break my post up into three, since only 1000 characters were allowed, you'll want to read from the bottom post up the the previous one.

All in all, however, the game is still reasonable, and purely from a "make large, realistic photogenic cities" aspect it can't be beat, as the simulation/gameplay is great as far as traffic and other elements goes. It's really only as you start to play for an extensive amount of time that the gaps show through.

I would definitely pick it up before Sim City 5, as some of those big selling points (inter-city trade, freeform roads) are accomplished better here in Cities XL. However, if you are up for a more targeted Transportation game instead of a general City Builder, Cities in Motion 2 is very good and solves all of the annoyances I remember having with the original, highly recommended. I've also posted extensively on that game in the forums, starting here:

Hope this was helpful, hope you have a great week!

Many of the faults that other people mentioned are quite valid however. The biggest problem is how static the cities feel. Both the density and quality of the houses/industries are zoned by you, so they don't change organically over time. This static feeling negatively impacts the game directly, as well as indirectly by making it too easy. For example you'll never have the Sim City 4 problem of having a bunch of $$$ housing get downgraded to $$, causing a shortage of $$$ employees and too many $$, as well as a drop in taxes. Do you try to resolve the issue to save the $$$ industries, let it sort itself out as $$$ industries are replaced by $$?

Those sorts of ebb and flows are almost entirely absent from Cities XL.

Hey Don, I know that you asked me somewhere on Steam how I liked Cities XL, but I cannot for the life of me find where, so I'll just reply here!

I posted a lot of my thoughts on the forums, starting here: http://www.gamerswithjobs.com/node/46712?page=3#comment-2534286

In short, it is a gorgeous game, and it's also quite fun. I definitely don't regret the $20 I spent on it. Must of the highlights are the intuitive inter-city trading system and the freedom in building roads, and of course the tremendous map size.

The game has an interesting concept, mainly that the costume you wear grants you certain powers. The game quickly becomes extremely repetitive, with the mission types (find costume pieces, bob for apples, fight the same. exact. battles. over and over -- these missions recur in exactly the same manner in each area.

Ultimately, it's fun for an hour or so. I plugged onward despite the repititveness, but I can't recommend this game. Cute only goes so far.

Good shooter. Surprising story, all the way through. Finished SP campaign in ~ 5hrs (normal difficulty). Worth the sale pickup for $5, for sure.

I loved the first one. I love the 2nd one. The decision to let you replay levels to collect more skulls so that you can continue to upgrade your traps is a great one. I also appreciate the ability to respec your trap allocation and upgrades between levels. The gameplay style is essentially unchanged from OMD1, but a little more frantic this time. The game itself is very meaty with tons of content to work through.
