Cities XL

Cities XL

Cities XL is a simulation game in which players can build their own cities on realistic 3D maps. Players face the challenge of creating the right combination of social services, employment, activities and job opportunities for the cities' citizens. In a handful of short animations, a grandmother character gets into a scuffle with much stronger men; this is usually depicted in a slapstick manner, with the men ducking in fear or fighting back in vain.
