Cities in Motion is a fun traffic simulation game which nice little details and graphic style. The game runs quite smoothly despite a number of vehicles and people on screnn at once. Some minor issues found during the first day of playing, but nothing that worries me and the developers seems to be aware of it and works closely together with community to make the game better. I'm looking forward to see Cities in Motion grow and will probably spend hours playing this game

This is a great transportation Sim game. Your goal is to keep famous cities thriving by ensuring that all of the transportation needs are met (i.e. people can get to their jobs in a reasonable amount of time). The scenarios are challanging and interesting, and playing in familiar famous cities adds a cherry on top. The UI is also very intuitive and easy to use. The only problem I had with this game was that it can get pretty repetitive. And I suppose if you don't like Sim games, this may not be your cup of tea as well, but I enjoyed it

Some people may look at this and say "Oh, it's just Sim City but with emphasis on Transit". Well... yeah, that pretty much sums it up. You're building a city based around lines of transit, adjusting to customer needs and the economy, managing, micro-managing... you really get caught up in it all very quickly though. It's a dull sounding concept that quite honestly starts out very dull, but once you're managing 20 transit lines, watching the economy and adjusting rates, fixing problems, expanding, trying to keep on top of what your customers' needs are, the game actually becomes intense which is something I can't say for any other simulation game besides maybe Roller Coaster Tycoon.

This game is just simply put amazing when put with content included and price. I like the whole concept of having to build a city with a thriving transportation system for the citizens to get around. The point of them getting angry is a part of the game, and it really helps you understand what you need in the city, and what you need to scrap. I recommend this game if you are looking for a awesome experience.

Cities in Motion is an interesting game when you take command of a city and have to organize and develop the transport infrastructure of that city from 1920 to 2020, the game is a bit complex sometimes but thankfully you have a good tutorial what enable you to grasp the basics things about the game.

i higly recommend you to buy the DLCs for the game, they add more cities and improvements, give this game a try, you wont regret it

Great game if you pay no more than $30 or so for it. It's well made, but a little lacking when it comes to maps, game balance (you will probably never touch some of the available vehicles), and a few buggy things.

If you like sim games and the likes of Sim City, etc. then Cities in Motion will be a good choice. The learning curve is a little steep in the beginning (not too bad really), but overall it's one of those "easy to master" games.

This game is not a bad game, but I think it is boring and repetitive.

If you like this kind oh video-games, you will like it.

The graphics are good, and there is not too bugs.

The game gives you a pleasant mix between strategic planning and almost casual presentation. Be careful and don't forget to plan ahead, or you'll end up in a traffic mess out of which you won't get easily. I think the selection of vehicles could have been a bit wider, but it definitely gives you a lot of toys to play with. Also, you can get some additional vehicles in one of the DLC packs.

This game is quite interesting, but it's quite complex to handle and difficult. Graphics aren't so great and are not optimized very well (it runs slow on my high-end pc with max settings). There are a lot of things to do, so you'll often feel overwhelmed

Cities in Motion is a Transport Tycoon type of game, not a city builder. You are in charge of the public transport systems in several real-world cities. All kinds of vehicles are available to you, from busses to helicopters. Your job is to set up the most profitable public transport systems possible. You build stops and stations, lanes and lines, you purchase vehicles, handle the financial aspects, analyze your potential customer base, make strategic decisinos, and enjoy the various cities recreated in astonishing detail.

Recommended for anyone with an interest in the Transport Tycoon sub-genre or a general interest in the inner workings of a public transportation network.

I wasn't expecting much from this title, but I've been pleasantly surprised. Once you learn the basics the game really opens up and managing the transport system of a large city is very addictive and you can even build your own city. I must of put about 15 hours into this and i'm still as hooked as i was when i first started. Lots of dlc to keep you hooked after you finish the base game.

I was recently given this game for free from Paradox.

I have over several years looked at purchasing the game but the price was never low enough and I'm glad I didn't buy it when it was first released.

If you like games such as Transport Tycoon and OpenTTD then you will certainly enjoy this game but also be slightly disappointed; first off, you have no control over the current city infrastructure, so if you're building a metro line or a major terminal for bus, metro and tram to join you need to find a non built up area which contains the resources needed.

That said, it's a fun and addictive game where you have to work with the limitations given...

Fun game.

If you enjoy simulation games you should take a look at this. The game advances as you play adding more to it. The game does not require a lot of micromanaging to get things to work.

If you really liked setting up your city's transport links in Sim City, this game is for you. There's a certain strange addictiveness to making sure all the (virtual) trains and buses run on time, so if you can handle the game's deliberate pace pick it up. There are quite a lot of mods available if you want to customize your experience, too.

It is a good game for those interested in managing a transport system for a city. In some way it reminds me of sid meyers transportation but with better graphics. Overall I think its a good game for those into simulation and managing.

The game is really fun. They way the game is designed to let you build transport systems in a city will make it hours of fun for you, even if you're not a big fan of making transport systems.

Cities in Motion is a great game, it is a sort of throwback to great tycoon, simulation, and management games like traffic giant. Some features are dumbed down a little but overall the core game play is entertaining and satisfying for someone who is in to the management genre of games.some of the mechanics, however, get bogged down in late game if you have too many routes with too many vehicles running on them. This can cause huge traffic jams since private vehicles on the roads never seem to decrease, and your profits can be cut exponentially if it isn't dealt with tactfully.

It also offers a large amount of content that can last for at least a hundred and change hours of game play more than alot of games can say nowadays.

4/5

way to go paradox!

An interesting game which is worth picking up, though as other people have mentioned it does tend to run very slowly if there is a lot of traffic in game. I would only recommend it if you have a high spec PC, as it will not run well otherwise.

Cities in Motion is a great transport sim, focusing on the challenges of urban environments. It allows creation of bus lines, tram lines, metro trains (underground or overground urban trains), helicopters and ferries. There are a number of different cities to play in, each with their own scenarios and missions.

If I had one criticism of the game it's that due to the way people will queue up endlessly at a badly performing bus stop (unlike in real life where people would see the timetable thus and not spend their entire day waiting), buses in a crowded city do nothing but bring your rating down becuase hundreds of people will wait at bus stops getting angry at the bus, when the line can't handle it (adding buses doesn't help due to traffic).

Overall though I enjoyed the game and recommend it to others who enjoy management sims.

The game is pretty solid.I'd give the graphics a solid 7,maybe an 8.

The feeling of being an economic genius starts to take over from the start of the game.The only real problem with the game is its steep learning curve and a relatively short campaign.

But anyway,you will have a great time enjoying the game,aspecially if you managed to snatch it for free from paradox.

Cheers

With the mountain of high-quality simulators out there, it can be tough to find one that fits you. Fortunately, this Cities in Motion collection can help you solve your problem. With top-of-the-line graphics, great world design, and an excellent score, this game is a treat for your sense and is a great way to relax and tell your own story about the ever-moving world and its transportation needs. This game is highly recommended, and it is a perfect price, so there is no excuse to not get it!!!

Great simulation games. well this is able to keep me busy while waiting for the new Sims City to come out :D BTW, tons of DLC to keep you busy in case if you are bored with the original stuff!

Like this title because it is challenging and beautiful. Need to actually learn how stuff work in order to master/win the game. Good example of learning while playing

Cities in motion is quite good simulation game. If you like to quietly enjoy in good simulation you can end up lost your self in this game for hours. It has very good transportation system to make you struggle at start, but when you get in business it will be very enjoyable. Graphic is quite good and playable on today's standard PC configurations, even on low end PC you can play it without problems.

Cities in Motion is a good game, probably is more difficult than other "management game" but give also more satisfaction when you see that the things starts to go well. Other than that the game maybe need a better technical optimization.

Detailed and realistic city transit systems

Challenging scenarios that test your knowledge of city traffic patterns

Clean, intuitive interface

Gets repetitive, especially when it comes to laying down transit routes

Could use some more feedback when dealing with customer relations.

Cities in Motion (C.i.m.), it's an original city simulator: unlike Simcity or other similar games in C.i.m. you must build and organize only the public transport sistem in 4 different cities. The concept of this game it's very interesting, but it needs more citie to develop its potential

Kind of a niche title for people who are into this kind of thing. If you like Sim City-style games and you have an interest in transportation technology, every feature you could ask for is here. Personally I find it very dull but Paradox was kind enough to give it to me for free so I can't complain. It's definitely feature-rich and I like the presentation. The music is very cute.

If you're into this sort of thing you should check out Cities in Motion.

It's one of the best City Simulators. I spend hours and hours playing that game. This is a game I am going to continue playing for a long time now. Definitely recommended to any transportation buffs, or fans of city simulation.

Beautiful graphic make it a pleasure exploring the city, trying to improve every detail you find. Make your journey through hundreds of years of transportation and look how the city grow into a smooth and lively buzz. Having no time pressure, it's relaxing to build around and try out a lot of different settings and watch it slowly grow.

Challenging but rewarding and lots of fun make this a good buy if you are into this kind of games. Can be a little heavy on an old coumputer though, but my semi-old computer runs it fine.

The game is small, yet interesting. After living in a big city, it's a funny feeling to be able to build your own transportation lines. For that, the game is a great idea, also, it's made really well. Graphics, AI, details- everything's on a high level.

I'm giving only 4 stars because the game is for like 2 hours per day, yet it's a good simulation.

A decent attempt at a transport tycoon remake. Sadly suffers from a bad interface and steep learning curve. Has some nice ideas but just is not fun.

A very complete transport sim. The game covers a wide span, so artificial game ends rarely if ever happen, allowing you to play one area to your heart's content, refining and improving until you're ready to move on.

No problems so far, 5/5

Very nice simulation game, if you like management cities games i suggest you to get this when is possible, you will have lots of fun with it.

Cities in Motion is a modern day Transport Tycoon, with the focus being on a singular city instead of a large region as in, for instance, TTD. Fans of Sim City or TTD will probably like this game, but I personally wish I had the ability to see where the 100 people waiting at a bus stop in the middle of the city wanted to end up at, as opposed to randomly adding stops throughout the city in hopes of lessening the load on a particular route.

Overall, however, a good game. Personally, I prefer OpenTTD because it has multiplayer, and the scope of the game goes beyond a single city at a time.

Excellent game. Definitely recommend it for those interested in building a viable transport system for a city. Great graphics, intuitive UI and excellent selection of vehicles.

Been a long time Sim City fan and this game did not disappoint. It was hard and challenging at first but it will begin to smooth and gets better after a bit. The game features a lot of mods from the community that you can download to increase the playability.

Quite a special and interesting game. I have not played many of this kind of games, but this one is a great time killer. It's kind of a slow pace game, but once you get into it, you'll find hours have passed when you notice. Only bad thing is too many DLCs there.

Complexity is always a strength of these kinds of games, by making a game about transportation, you start to realize how important city planning is, and how the movement of people makes all the difference to the lives of so many. Great concept, stellar application. I only wish there was more.

I find this game quite good. It runs a little slowly on my computer, but then so do most 3D games, and its graphics are so good and its cities so detailed that it's not a big bother that scrolling isn't always smooth. The campaign is solid (although the first mission can be annoying at times due to the low capacity of the vehicles and the high demand), and I enjoy the gameplay thoroughly.

this is a fun game, and if you are not carefull you can end of spending alot of hours inside the cities.

there is a little trouble at start because there is trafic jams on all mainstreets, but that is your job to get rid of. this means that if you do not playing your cards right you will end up in a mayor trafic jam and not earn money.

so its vital to have the busses drive the sidestreets but also make sure you cover all big parts.

the game is much better then it pre-releases, like trafic giants.

enjoy the game

I really like Cities in Motion. It's cool manage big cities transportation systems and build your own city, but the game loose some realism at the vehicles capacity. I'm sure the New York Subway's trains capacity is much more than 90 persons "per train". I really enjoy this game, but I'm sure much people, like me, will download some "capacity modifications for the game" ;)

Excellent game. Definitely recommend it for those interested in building a viable transport system for a city. Great graphics, intuitive UI and excellent selection of vehicles.

This transport simulation is well balanced - not too complicated (far simpler than TTD or simutrans) but not too simple. Graphics are well enough. The biggest plus is active development as well as big fan base producing additional content.

It's an extremely fun game, challenging at times.

Only problem is that the roads get clogged pretty easily by cars, making buses take a long time to get pass traffic and to stops.

En cities in Motion seremos el dueño de una compañía de transportes, y deberemos cubrir las necesidades de los habitantes de distintas ciudades europeas a lo largo de 100 años de su historia.

En este especial vamos a hablar un poco del juego y lo que sus expansiones han aportado al mismo.

CONTENIDO

En un principio, con Cities in Motion podíamos gestionar 4 ciudades, Viena, Helsinki, Berlín y Amsterdam, desde 1920 hasta 2020, y todo tipo de transportes públicos, desde el simple autobús, hasta helicópteros, pasando por trenes y tranvías, e incluso autobuses acuáticos. También deberemos elegir el medio de transporte según la clase social de nuestros pasajeros y según el escenario en el que juguemos de entre los 12 disponibles, por lo que no será sencillo.

Por supuesto dispondremos de un modo libre, así como de la posibilidad de crear nuestros propios escenarios, todo ello con gráficos 3D y por supuesto a tiempo real.

Con su expansión Tokio, nos dan la posibilidad de gestionar esta gran urbe con una nueva campaña de 4 escenarios, con 7 vehículos nuevos y una nueva banda sonora. En esta expansión las fechas cambian pues el modo campaña se inicia en 1970 y nos lleva hasta el 2030.

También podemos descargar 4 DLC’s, Design Classic, Design Marvel y Design Now que agregan cada uno 5 nuevos vehículos y Metro Station que añade 2 nuevos tipos de estaciones de metro.

Todo esto lo podemos adquirir por separado en el pack Cities in Motion Collection que incluye todos ellos y si miramos en los distintos sitios en donde lo podemos comprar seguro que lo encontramos a muy buen precio así que tanto si os gustan los transportes como los simuladores no os lo podéis perder.

Creative Future, buscanos en internet

This game is great, though it doesn't give you much leeway in skill level. Even on Easy, which I thought I would use just to try different tactics to see what worked or not, it still requires some skill. Love it.

I'm giving this a four star for it's smooth gaming, reasonable graphics and for the interesting environments, european cities you don't see to often in games. The fair pricing is also a plus, however you can pay a lot more for the extras. On the downside is the limited challenge of the game. It's a bit tricky in the beginging to make a profit, but once you "solve the puzzle of making profit" that is pretty much it. The only thing left to do by then is to wait for new models of trams and busses, and that honestly is limited fun.

This game is quite difficult, no way to deny it. It will make you fail, more than once. Still, you can't avoid trying again the next day. You learn. You steadily improve your game, until you start getting the hang of it. You will be so proud for each aspect of the game you master, since it acctually demands some skill and experience. The rewarding mastery of the game, together with a spotless graphical and musical execution, makes this a game you should experience and ponder at. It allows you to prove your worth, while charming you during the procces.

MrNicoster doing a review on cities in motion. You have to create your own transport company and make routes, buy vehicles and assign them to a route and get ypur rep up!

I give it a 5/5 rating.

“Cities in Motion” is the first game to be developed by Colossal Order Ltd. Cities in motion is a city-based mass transportation simulator. Players operate and control their own transport company creating a public network around 4 large cities. The player controls the transport industry with; buses, trams, trains and helicopters over a 100 year period from 1920 to 2020.

The game starts with an in-depth tutorial, which teaches the player the basics of the objectives. Starting with bus stop placement and moving into areas such as price and financial status of the city’s economy. The games four cities are large and can easily fill a few hours of gameplay. The four cities available are Vienna, Helsinki, Berlin, and Amsterdam and each have their own individual issues for the player to overcome. However the cities are great but the number is somewhat lacking. However the lack of cities is redeemed slightly with the option to use the map editor. This allows the player to create custom cities to challenge their financial skills as well as their transport knowledge.

The game requires time and patients. Players have to monitor the city’s condition and the people entering and exiting the city, to keep their network working efficiently. This includes judging prices, route time and quality of transport vehicles. The game contains three different game modes; Campaign, Scenario and Sandbox. Campaign is self-explanatory. Scenario is the replay of the Campaign by selecting what level they wish to play. Sandbox is free mode and the player is given a set amount of cash to start their thriving business. Players have over 30 types of vehicles to operate their routes. These routes are operated by 5 types of transportation these are; buses, trams, water buses, helicopters, and subways, fully complete with an underground view. Each of these 30+ models is based on real life vehicles and closely resembles them.

The graphics are great for a simulator like transport tycoon, the player can zoom close into the streets and see the citizens using their transport and even out in the garden. Vehicles are seen in real time motion and are to scale to keep the player immersed into their virtual city.

The sounds are that of and ‘tycoon’ genre of game, this includes the ambient noise of the people walking and talking in the city streets. Horns and general traffic noise all join the mix. All of this is achieved without giving the player headaches and a need to turn down the volume levels. The notification ping also returns, allowing players to acknowledge this sound as an important notice that needs attention.

Overall this game may be the return of some tycoon simulators that seemed to have been lost. Colossal Order has certainly done a great job bringing the tycoon games back into the industry.

Gameplay 7/10

If tycoons are the types of game you enjoy then this is perfect. However don’t expect to be pulled away if you are not a tycoon fan.

Graphics 8/10

The graphics are stunning the only way they could be better is if they were realistic.

Sounds 9/10

The sounds are top notch and are the best with today’s level of technology.

Total 24/30

I want to start to say im an hardcore Sim City fan, I love strategy games and my alltime favorite game is Transport Tycoon. Perhaps you and I are a bit similar and maybe thats why you want to hear what I think about Cities in Motion. First off I want to point out that this game isn't like anything i've played before but it was easy, even fun to learn how it worked. Unfortunately this was also the problem. When there was nothing more to learn, and no new content to interest me I grew tired of the game. Dont get me wrong, I loved the game but when you are used to invest several hundred hours in a game without growing tired of it you get pretty disappointed when you lose interest after only maybe 10 hours of gameplay. Fortunately the developers are probably aware of this and this is why the game is so cheap!

If this game is on sale, I recommend you to check it out!

First of all let it be said that I like transit games, so probably I was going to like Cities in Motion no matter what. Let's face it, there hasn't been much produced in the genre in a very long time.

The Good: 1. As noted above, it broke a far too long dry spell in the genre.

2. The game features a very challenging start. While this may be frustrating to some people, I think half the fun of the game is that initial financial struggle.

3. The game has a great modding community, and with that comes great potential. It only ships with four maps, which can get dull after a while, but there are already plenty of community-created maps available (though the largest ones are still in development. Since the maps take a VERY long time to create, the CiM really hasn't been out for long enough that the biggest maps are going to be ready in any sort of complete state). Beyond just maps, there has also been some extremely innovative modding work done on stations, which leads me to my next point:

4. The game is very moddable. By this I do not mean it is easy to mod. It is not. However, for those scripters amongst us, there seems to be very little that is totally hard coded, and it does not yet appear clear exactly where that limit exists.

5. Depending on the year of the game your strategy must change. What will work in 1920 (the game's earliest year) will work in 1980, but won't by any means be the most effective solution. What will work in 2000 won't work in 1940 at all.

The Bad:

1. The game only ships with four maps.

2. There are only 30 vehicles in the base game, and that's spread out over a 100 year timeframe. This can be amended by purchasing the several DLC's that are available, but this doesn't seem to be something that modders have really gotten into thus far, so you will have to pay for new vehicles.

3. The background music gets a bit dull. CiM is a slow-paced game, which in itself is not a problem, but means it really needs good soundtrack. However this is easily fixed by simply disabling the ingame music and running pandora/itunes/spotify/what have you in the background.

All in all, CiM is one of the best transit games I've ever played, and I can only see it getting better in the future.

This is one of the best sims I have played in a long time. It is enjoyable and while some hardcore Paradox Interactive fans might not love it is still a great game from a great company.

I held off for a while to buy this game because I was afraid it might be like Traffic Giant a few years ago that was a terrible game.

This game is similar but it is a lot better. The graphics are great, seems like a lot of endless possibilities which I really like.

This game is a little complicated to figure out at first especially for me because I didn't know it was a business game. I do not like business games much but this one stands out from the rest.

I purchased it with too much expectations so I was a little disappointed.

A fairly good, fairly simple public transport simulation game. It is fun for a while but it can get quite repetetive quickly. There is a map editor that would increase the game's replay value quite a bit, but although it is not very difficult to use, it is quite time-consuming. Some of the user-created maps are fairly good but the quality varies a lot. Still, it's not a bad game. The graphics, sounds and music do the job and the interface works. Most fun I had with the game was with my home city. The others just weren't that interesting for me. It was worth the fairly low price though.

The latest offering from Colossal Order and Paradox Interactive, Cities in Motion is a transport simulator in which you are tasked with the set up and maintenance of the public transport networks of four major European cities; Amsterdam, Vienna, Berlin and Helsinki. There’s been quite a gap in the market for a decent transport simulation game of late, and everyone’s hoping that Cities in Motion will be able to live up to the likes of Transport Tycoon and SimCity 3000.

The graphics in Cities in Motion are really gorgeous. The city really feels alive as people and vehicles buzz around all over the place and it’s enormously satisfying watching one of your vehicles go along its route picking up and dropping off passengers, especially if you’ve managed to get the balance of number of passengers vs wait time right so that your vehicles are always full but the queues aren’t getting too long.

All in all, Cities in Motion is really a fantastically relaxing simulator; you can take it as slowly as you like as you can build whilst paused – but for the total control freaks amongst us (and many people who enjoy games like this also enjoy knowing every little statistical piece of information we can get our hands on), we would really like to have more information available. It’s still possible to build up your travel empire without it, but there’s just no reason for it to be missing. To sum up, if this is your kind of game, at £15 Cities in Motion is a bargain for a game which will keep you busy for absolutely ages.

The graphics are not the best I’ve seen but they are on par with many other simulation games out there. Each vehicle model looks a little bit different. There’s a DLC available that offers new vehicles. The people wandering around aren’t incredibly detailed but you will definitely know how they feel about your service judging by the happy or sad face above their head. (I wish this option was available in real life!) Just like real cities many of the buildings look alike but there is plenty of variety with specific buildings like churches, schools, statues and amusement parks. I can’t tell how accurate the city layout is since I’ve never been to Europe.

The sound effects are pretty spot on with the bus, helicopter, metro and boat noises. The background music is interesting and changes with the era and scenario you are playing in. There is no voice acting and all of the dialogue is text based.

When it comes to the stability of the game I ran into a few glitches where the game stopped responding on me and I had to ctrl alt delete to close out of the program. I also had a scenario that never ended when it should have. Perhaps the latest patches address these issues.

Other than that one flaw, I enjoyed playing this game and recommend it to those who like simulation games. The price is a reasonable $20 and there is a demo available if you want to give it a try before you buy it. There is no multiplayer but the sandbox and scenarios should keep you busy for hours. I can foresee some expansion packs in the future for this game.

Great Engine, awesome graphics, and easily moddable. What more can you ask for? Sure, the game is missing some details here and there, so if you aren't into downloading and using mods, you may wanna give this game another month or two, but for the mod enthusiasts out there, for 20 bucks, you can get a great business simulator.

Although, one thing to note, this isn't the easy simulator that has come to plague the market, but a truly difficult one where you will go bankrupt your first game (though for some reason there isnt a bankrupt loss when your debt goes above your company value, you just continue spiraling into debt). The hardest part to CIM is managing to expand correctly and at the right pace so as to reduce traffic, otherwise your buses and trams will be nearly useless as they are stuck in that very traffic. thus, it takes short distance bus routes, combined with mid distance metros and long distance helicopter routes all going to the proper areas to secure your financial victory. On top of the different types of vehicles, your have different people to. Pensioners(retired folks), unemployed, blue collar workers, white collar workers, businessmen, students, ect all trying to get to different work areas and leisure spots and all living in different places in different densities. It is truly a "simple to learn, difficult to master" type game.

Cities in Motion is a passenger transportation simulator. You take charge of a transport company, building bus, tram, metro, boat, and helicopter networks, designed to transport passengers where they'd like to go around one of 4 cities. Every person in the city has a name, and a house, many also have jobs and places they like to go for leisure. Using color coded layovers you will figure out who needs to go where, then build a transport network to get there.

I found this game very difficult, you must have your transport network set up perfectly to a T. I found it easiest to first build a metro, after taking out a loan, the metro having three stations total. I was in debt for about 5 years before the loan was paid off and I finally started making some money. It was another two years before my balance was finally positive, at which time I took out a somewhat small loan to build another metro station, where I was once again in debt until I could slowly pay everything back.

However something about this game is purely fun and addictive. When I first heard about it and read about it's features it didn't sound like there was too much depth to it, but there's something there that just makes it very playable.

There are so many details put into this game too. The traffic system is marvelous and only occasionally has issues. The way cars yield to each other and stop for crossing pedestrians looks very organic and just wonderful.

Sadly however there is no day/night or weather system that I've seen, but since about every 8 seconds is a day I guess that's alright. I did have a few lag issues when I first played, but a patch that was released to reduce the traffic helped a lot. I still get some lag for things like raging fires though, even though I have a fairly beefy computer, but it wasn't too much of a concern. I do recommend going to the games main website forums to get the latest patches, they seem to be working hard over there to improve the game as much as possible.

All in all this was a very good buy for me and I recommend anyone who likes traffic or transportation managers to give it a try, though be aware it might take awhile to get a hang of due to the difficulty.

Cities in motion is a pretty good game on its field... it's just I perhaps waited for something else... the game is surprisingly lacking in feeling for the different years you play... being pretty much the same on 1930/1940 Berlin as in 1990 Berlin, except the vehicles change... that's pretty much it.

The gameplay is ok... pretty much what you can expect from a transport sim.

The music is good... it does help you remind when - like, at what decade - are you playing.

Graphics are ok... they do their job.

3/5 for me.

If you like Traffic Giant you will like this game. CIM is a cross between Sim City and Traffic Giant. CIM has the feel of Sim City with the style of music, Disasters, and the news ticker. The Developers were inspired by people like Will Wright and hans schilcher among others to make CIM.

CIM isn't a TTD game where you get instant cash. In CIM you really have to work hard to make money and it can take time. But it is rewarding knowing that you have reduced the traffic which is the object of the game.

The developers are excellent on how they interact with users on the forums.

This game has a lot of potential with expansions packs and modding.

This game is an interesting take on city traffic management. It is quite difficult in the start, and the different forms of transport needs to be balanced a bit. Metro is in the current version clearly better than other alternatives. Still its a great concept and only a patch or two from being a really great game. I reccomend everyone to buy this game and support a small quality developers!

The game is basically Traffic Giant with much better graphics, better storyline and longer span, but it lacks many characteristics that could make it a cult-classic like Transport Tycoon. The game is missing many good features from Trolley-buses to diagonally placeable metro stations to realistic vehicles properties (capacity, speed,). These could be easily solved by the developers in patches, so the game will propably become more polished and better. The game is overally an excellent game if you are looking for nice graphics, challenging mission and many hours of fun. Th game is not a good choice if you are looking for realism. Be that realistic vehicles, realistic cities, and probably anything from real-life situations and limits. I personally say the game is 8.6/10 and advise anyone looking for a game from this genre to buy it.

Started playing it after some download issues and I think $19.95 is a very good price for this game. The graphics are excellent but the music can be a little repetitive after a while. I am operating the game on an Intel Core 2 solo processor and the game is working fine.

I suggest that you do the tutorials as the game is very in depth and its easy to get lost with the interface. I think the game has alot of potential and its something you won't put down after a while as you can create your own cities. I have given Cities in Motion 4 out of 5 and its worth the money as you be paying more for similar titles like Sim City and Cities XL.

This review is for version 1.09.

This game wore out its welcome fairly quickly. There is so many features that this game is missing that would have made it many times better. For example, you can't transport cargo, just passengers. If I had to compare Cities in Motion a game, it would be Traffic Giant. No matter what you do, the city never grows or changes, only your company does. What features are missing? I would have to write a book to cover them all. I will concentrate the rest of this review in regards to what I liked. The graphics are top notch. The subway system is very detailed and sophisticated. The financial system is robust as the game is a challenge, even in easy mode. You have to analyze where people want to go so that you can know where to built your transit stations. The simulation works well in many ways. But, it is still very much feature lacking for someone expecting something comparable to Transport Tycoon and Transport Giant. In fact, I think of Cities in Motion as a sequel to Traffic Giant. Other than the major graphics overhaul and a few additional features there isn't that much of a difference. I am giving this game a rest, and will venture back to it in a few days. It deserves three stars as it just wasn't good as I wanted it to be. Maybe future patches/revisions will change that.

The game is about tranporting passengers from their home to work or lesure. You can create road, rail, ship, helicopter and even combine them so that "bus rute 1" crosses bus line 2 and then the passengers can get out and into another bus and there by reach their goal. You can there for combine different kinds of tranport possibilites and create a transport network.

The game is actually a new reworked version of an old game ( cannot remember the game ) but now with better graphics som new menus, but most important you can now use ships and helicopters and other new vehicles.

I think this game is really good business simulator.

I can recommend it to everyone that like business games.
