A huge letdown - I hoped that in 2012 they had fixed the very annoying bugs that make the game much less fun to play than it could be, but all they did was add new bugs!

I would also recommend Cities in Motion instead of Cities XL, but it has problems of its own. Though my computer can run most games fine, Cities in Motion runs at about 3 FPS.
Be very careful before investing in new games in this genre. The relative quality we saw in earlier games is gone.
