I first acquired City Car Driving 2012, but because of its lack of optimization, I decided to acquire this game next. What surprised me is that even when running Driving Simulator 2011 on maximum, it remained very smooth, I can assure you that the graphics of this game is better than City Car Driving 2012, but not the best. My first-noted difference of this game is the lack of life. It felt like you were driving in an abandoned town, when you run over people, you pass through them. Amazing action! City Car Driving 2012 is definitely better than Driving Simulator in realism, though they should both be on par since they're simulators. The graphics weren't that good, they could've been better. I first acquired the game with one vehicle, which was amazingly fast, it was a sport car, now to look at City Car Driving, you get the regular of 2 normal cars, and 1 not-so-sportish car. While driving in DS 2011, everyone on the road had either a Lamborghini or something better and unidentifiable. I would recommend purchasing the game if you are ready to take this game as an arcade game rather than a simulator.
