Cities in Motion 2 is a mass transit simulation game. It’s basically “SimCity : Crack Whore Edition”, which is to say shittier graphics, a subset of gameplay, with digital syphilis.
When you start playing Cities in Motion 2, you’re already given a city. Your job is to build buses, trams, metros, etc… and place pickup stops at key locations in the city so that the virtual Sims, caught in a virtual rat-race of the standard work-home cyclical depressive loop we call “making a living”, can get to their jobs, their homes, and their places to drink their sorrows to oblivion.
Karoliina Korppoo, lead game designer on Colossal Order's urban development simulator Cities: Skylines, speaks with the AUTOMATON Japan staff about the Cities series and the studio itself.
GMG: "Have a hankering for Cities: Skylines but want to check out previous games in the series first? Well, we got some massive discounts on the Cities in Motion series running from today, along with a host of new Square Enix deals enjoying low prices for the next 48 hours."
Cities in Motion 2 is on sale today for only $9.95USD. Gamers interested in this great deal can head on over to SimulatorCentral.com to purchase their copy.
This is kind of an unfair review. I don't think Cities in Motion ever tried to sell itself as a SimCity alternative, but the reviewer is docking it points for not letting you build an entire city like SimCity. I understand not liking a game for its premise, disliking its gameplay, or running into bugs, but there's no reason to start the review by insulting it with a crack at how its worse than a different type of game.
"SimCity is basically a crap version of Civilization V where you can only control a single city and don't have any units." That makes about as much sense as the opening volley here. Just my two cents, but not a particularly good review.
Man what boring demographic is this aimed twords.... Im personally waiting for the sequel "laundry day in motion".
Someone should remade Transport Tycoon, give it stellar graphics and good multiplayer. Granted, it was like 20 years ago but i loved this game.
