Cities XL  Monte Cristo Multimedia;Namco Bandai Games;Focus Home Interactive (Monte Cristo)2009CITIES XL allows gamers to develop cities on realistic 3D maps using an incredible collection of unique structures and monuments based on American, Asian and European-influenced architectural styles. The maps feature a variety of environments: mountains, hills, canyons, beaches and islands, all set in different climates from tropical to desert, Mediterranean to temperate. Players must create the right combinations of social services, leisure activities, special events and other job opportunities within their cities in order to feed, clothe, employ and entertain their citizens. Be it planning and building a new zoo, public park, residential neighbourhood or transit system - there's always a fresh and exciting challenge for would-be city managers and mayors in CITIES XL. The game's online features and services allow players to create interconnected cities on virtual and persistent planets. Mayors can share and trade with one another, specialize their economy and team up with befriended cities to create sprawling metropolises. Life on the planet is punctuated by events and competitions - a concert held in one town may, for example, be attended by visitors from other areas who can also enjoy a walk around the city to admire the urban creations of multiple players. By combining a fantastic single-player game with the social and multiplayer aspects of an MMO, CITIES XL shapes the future of the genre by offering more variety, bigger cities and multiple gameplay layers.

Cities XL 2011 Focus Home Interactive (Focus Home Interactive;Monte Cristo)2010El juego que se ocupó de llenar el vacío que tantos años provocó el parón de la saga SimCity.

Tiene un enfoque más realista que la susodicha referencia, con entornos de geografías creíbles y trazados más libres y adaptados al paisaje.

Y aunque es difícil mantenerse a flote econonómicamente, no es tan imposible como para tener al asesor de economía, a la Maxis, todo el rato chillando.

Como contra nombraría la imposibilidad de conectar ciudades de la forma en la cual se podía en el SimCity 4 (se pueden conectar, pero su cercanía no es relevante), y una interfaz algo compleja.

Cities XL 2012 Focus Home Interactive2012 Windowslabelminimizeminimize
Cities XL Platinum Focus Home Interactive2013Es muy similar al Cities XL 2011, del cual se puede considerar un remake/expansión.
Sin embargo, algunos de los edificios nuevos rellenan nichos muy necesarios (evitan ciertos saltos que había) y el ayudante es mucho menos insistente, más eficaz y sobretodo mucho más presente (anteriormente pecaba de decirte problemas ya solucionados hasta que se actualizaba)

En resumen, un simulador de ciudades en el cual puedes tratar de crear una población y no fallar en los 10 primeros intentos, y además muy fluido.
