Cities in Motion is the new boy on the block, a rather nice looking transport simulator. Developed by Colossal Order Ltd and published by Paradox Interactive, it's a game which looks to reinvigourate a corner of the market which has seen better days.
A demo of the game is freely available and is out now in America. The user interface (UI) is neatly done, allowing you to intuitively switch between the various important views and deciding what type of transportation your people need to get to work and around their own little world is relatively easy. Providing the level of support to your people is not an easy task but one which seems to provide a nice challenge without being too hard or too easy, though I hope for some nice difficulty options in the full release.
