Reception

Cities XL 2011 received average reviews.[5] IGN describes the game as "much like its predecessor, minus the multiplayer" and concludes that it "doesn't have much new to offer". The review did however praise the game's tutorial and graphics.[7] GameZone compared Cities XL 2011 to Civilization IV and concluded that "while the lack of a game-winning goal or story won't sit well with some players, it by no means disrupts the addictive nature of Cities XL 2011".[6] Aggregate review websites give scores of 75.13% on GameRankings,[4] and 70 (out of 100) on Metacritic.[5]
