Cities In Motion

In cities in motion you are left in charge of the mass transit of the city, you have to fulfill tasks, analyze data provided by the game, and lay lines that are profitable. The game its extremely realistic, to the point that you can see from where to where people wants to go, if they are not happy with your services, the game also simulates traffic and your units get stucked in it, there’s accidents and fires.

The interface its really intuitive and easy to use, placing a line its easy, because you only have to place the stops, and then you have to connect them, the game founds the way to connect them, then you choose a vehicle and give the line a go, the hardest part is to make those lines profitable and avoid delays(which do not make your costumers happy), there is a lot of variables to take care, transit, amount of people, length of the line, and more.

The graphics are amazing, they paid attention to every detail, the buildings, squares, cars, people (you can see the people waiting in the stops and coming in and out of the units), you can see the traffic jams, the firefighters.

Also they paid close attention to the game variables, there is a lot more variable than the already mentioned, you have to pay close attention to the world economy, tickets price, the workers’ wages (that affect their happiness, which affects your costumers happiness) , and  a lot more variables that you have to analyze to take action. The game may be to challenging which makes it a little bit boring.

You can go through 1920 to 2020, and choose the cities of Berlin, Helsinki, Vienna and Amsterdam. The technology advances with time, and you get better units and systems.

It’s an amazing simulation game, with incredible graphics and a really easy to understand interface, but it might be a little bit hard to play and avoid going to red numbers, also it can be boring because with time it becomes repetitive. (8/10)
