Fires will break out and houses burgled if there is no deterrent against them. And of course things like the police, fire service and hospitals are essential in keeping everything under control. Education is big factor in Cities Skyline, as the town will not be able to grow fully if its residents aren’t educated. Waste disposal, education and emergency services will all be needed to keep the town safe, smart and healthy. With these tools players will be able to start the construction of their very own little town and attract the attention of people and businesses.Īs the population of the town grows, more features unlock for use. Just the abilities to build roads, zone areas and generate power and water are unlocked from the start. Not all facilities are available from the start, with the game gently breaking players into its systems. From there players will be given a small amount of money (Unless the unlimited money option is selected) to start building. There is even an option for left-hand traffic as well. Players can also select to have unlimited money if they wish, as well as having all facilities unlocked from the start. There aren’t any procedurally generated areas on offer, but what is there is varied enough. There are 13 preset areas to choose from, all with slightly different attributes and natural resources. Players start off the game by selecting an area to build in.
If you have ever played a city building game before, then you will know exactly what this game offers. The game isn’t watered down or simplified, and offers just as much as its PC counterpart. The latest attempt to bring a PC focused game to console is Cities Skyline, a city building sim game that found popularity on the PC after SimCity dropped the ball.Ĭities Skyline: Xbox Edition is a game that aims to bring a game normally associated with the PC to a wider market, and for the most part it succeeds.
Games like Civ: Revolution, Halo Wars, and Tropico all found a home, and more importantly, a market on consoles.
But over the years developers have found smart and clever ways in which to port them to the home console. Be it an RTS game or a simulation style game, they just seem to play better with a keyboard and mouse due to the level of on-screen control needed. One of the advantages of having a PC over a console is the availability of games that don’t fit well with a controller.
