If you haven't seen Part I, we invite you to go to Simtropolis.com (http://www.simtropolis.com) and take a look to the small video we shared with them about our current development status on roads, bridges and tunnels Otherwise, see what we achieved so far and how much fun we can get with roads, bridges and tunnels in CITIES XL!!

It was back in April that we stepped out of the underground, where only a small – dare I say select – group of individuals were aware of CITIES XL’s existence, into the mainstream.

Monte Cristo is pleased to announce CITIES XL™ for Windows today. In this next-generation take on the city building genre, realism will be pushed to the limit with cities that are bigger, more realistic and more sophisticated than ever before. CITIES XL™ will expand upon all the features that make city builders fun and interesting, while also letting players take their game online, as they interact with others in a massive online environment.
