Simcity 2013 ü alana kadar bununla idare edeyim dedim ama bir oyun bu kadar mı optimizasyon özürlü olur. Başlangıçtan 15 dk sonra kare/sn oranı neredeyse 10-11 lere düşüyor. Al bundaki haritaları koy simcity 2013'e mis gibi oyun olsun. Neyse kasma sorununa bir çözüm bulabilirlerse iyi bir oyun.

Güzel oyun

+/+ Graphics are great for a city building game.
+/+ Most game mechanics are well executed.
+/+ Great UI. Very easy to pick up and learn.
+/+ Cities can interact (i.e. trade) with each other. This allows you to create specialty cities.
+/+ Large maps.

+/- Not as difficult as SimCity 4.
+/- Not much different than previous Cities XL games.
+/- Includes Steam Cloud, but lacks other features such as achievements and the workshop.

-/- Lack of variety in graphic style.
-/- Not map editor or terraforming options.
-/- Roads & highways can sometimes very picky about how you place them.
-/- Game slows down once your city reaches a certain size (very processor heavy game).
-/- Developers have a bad reputation and have gone out of business. Don’t expect new patches.
-/- Unfixed bugs and broken features.

Verdict: 6.8/10. While Cities XL Platinum clearly fails to surpass SimCity 4, it does offer a unique and fun take on the city building/management genre. If you can put up with the late game slowdowns or don’t care about creating larger cities, then I can easily recommend Cities XL Platinum to you. If you expect more, you will be disappointed. Don’t spend more than $10 and you’ll likely be happy.

Cities XL is a great city builder, if you're willing to deal with lag. Short and sweet, this game is what SimCity 2013 should have been, released a year earlier. The game scales extremely well, allowing for truly MASSIVE cities to be build. It has a billion different building types, large amount of road variations, and entirely different themes for all of them, depending on where you want to build.

Now, that's all great, other than the fact the actual developer for the game is dead and long gone. It's got the same problems cities XL 2010 had, and will continue to have them forever. Those problems are potentially game breaking for anyone willing to invest a lot of time. The major bug that gets near everyone is the fact it's single threaded. The game will not use more than one core on your computer, so no matter how well the rest of your system is, a large city will cripple you to single digit frame rates.

There are a few other much more minor bugs that people complain about, however I haven't come across. Overall, I find the game to be very satisfactory. I've gotten pretty large cities before the single digits hit, and even then it's still fairly easy to play. For a veteran and novice to city building alike, I highly recommend this game for at least a short try. It's just a shame there is no more development on it.

This is a city builder you'll have to adjust to. I'm a Sim City die hard; So I naturally like drawing my own zone sizes and knowing what will deveolp and what size they will be. This game has pre-designated zones/ blocks. So everytime you want to place one home you will place the same size block over and over (no zoning). But it does allow you to drag and drop the size and quantity of blocks you want in a zone. It also has a nice road building feature where you click to start a build point, click again to anchor, click for another anchor point, then double click to end.
Plus when it comes to building your city, you must unlock all of the features per city in order to build as you wish. You start out with very basic zones and access to all road types.

My biggest annoyance about this game is the achievements. While you play, it will pop up achievements, in a huge gold bubble right across your screen. And if you've earned many at once, they're all listed at once so you can't see anything. And these achievements are repetetive and are unlocked per city you build.

It's still an enjoyable game, though. Less difficult of the city builders.
