Cities XXL Review – Mouse n Joypad

Gale writes – What gaming needs right now is a really, really good city-building sim. SimCity won’t do for obvious reasons, and it’s no wonder gamers have decided to look for their next fix elsewhere. Cities XXL promised to cater to those gamers. Before you ask – no. Those promises have not been fulfilled. Really, I could finish this review right here and now simply by stating that this is a slightly (and I mean slightly) improved version of Cities XL that Focus Home Interactive wants to sell for 40 bucks (or euro) a piece. I really am not joking – I’ve compared the two games and there are only four major differences between them. Cities XXL has more buildings, a slightly revamped interface, somewhat better optimization and Steam Workshop support. Yes, that really is all there is to it. Now that I’ve finished my ranting, let us get on with the review itself."
