Cities XL 2011 vs Simcity Deluxe

...SimCity Deluxe:

that doesn't look anything like the SimCity Deluxe that I have, not even close

I think thats the I-Pad Version

The iPad version IS THE ABSOLUTELY ONLY SIMCITY GAME CALLED SIMCITY DELUXE WITHOUT A NUMBER! What you posted pictures was SimCity 4 with Rush Hour and custom content.

I own SimCity 4, SimCity 4 + Rushhour and SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition, those pictures were taken using the last one.

The only other thing I would say is if you are going to do a comparison between two city building games you should have done like to like ie PC Game to another PC Game not picked something done for a IPad and said this is the difference between Cities XL and SimCity, unless of course the IPad version is better, in which case I apologise for thinking it wasn't.

The iPad version is vastly inferior but when my grammar nazi side comes out, I point out the flaws of someone's post by showing examples of what they talk about using exact words where what they say is not the same as what they mean.

You all should be aware that Cities XL is getting better by the day.... while SC4, Deluxe, normal or whatever, with 500000 mods, is staying the same as always..... old and at this point quite ugly. Check out all the new CXL stuff at xlnation.net.

I think I prefer my version

That's all nice and everything, but why don't you take a gander at this?

Yeah... I think I prefer my version.

I belonged to the original Monte Cristo Cities XL forums (before they deleted them) took part in the Beta and when it was released paid the monthly charges that Monte Cristo wanted to run the world servers before they went out of business.

Will I try the new version ... maybe one day but Monte Cristo did pretty pictures as well and it was a soulless plop-a-lot game.

These pictures were taken by users. Cities XL 2011 added several new mass zoning options and I rarely plop anything down nowadays.

OK, I've been playing around with Cities in Motion (see link in signature), when I take a break from that I'll download the new Cities XL version from GamersGate and give it a try.
