Pros

Streamlined take on city building focusing on zoning, not individual buildings.
Wideopen sandbox missions set in varied terrain.

Cons

Virtually the same game as Cities XL 2011.
Annoying issues with resources and trading.
Performance problems with larger cities.

Cities XL 2012 leverer ikke særlig mye nytt i forhold til sine to forgjengere, men så kan det til gjengjeld kjøpes som en nedlastbar ekspansjon for alle som allerede har investert i den forrige utgaven. Nye spillere kan se frem til et...
