Monte Cristo games announced its second content pack for Cities XL, and it includes some pretty nice items for both planet and solo players, as well as the much anticipated bus system for planet players.

Solo players will enjoy a price drop from the Omnicorp corporation as well as a few new buildings: City Hall and the Central Library of The Hague. Planet players will also receive the new buildings, as well as several more fun features. A New York map -- complete with the Statue of Liberty and some familiar skyscrapers -- is now available. Planet players now also have the ability to construct a fully animated mega-ferris wheel for their citizens to enjoy in their leisure time.

The biggest item in this content pack, however, is one that Planet players have been looking forward to for a while. Bus lines are the latest addition to the growing Cities XL world and a handy solution to increased traffic flow. Larger cities who are beginning to struggle with traffic issues will find this a great help. (Cities under 50,000 can purchase it as well if they use Expert mode.)

The content pack is available now, and more information can be found at the Cities XL site.

Busses, sweet!!! cant wait for the solar powered monorail systems to be available.............

So is this game like Simcity, but just online?

Buses only available to subscribers and NOT available to solo players. So if you bought the game and thought "sweet city builder" i will play offline because $10 a month for, well frankly nothing much isnt worth it this is how Monte Cristo intend to entice you in.

I enjoyed the game for a while, it's nice has some nice aspects, but quite frankly making the public transport system available only to subscribers really sucks. I played on line for the incredibly generous 7 day free trial -yes you dont even get a whole month before they cut you off- and found online play was laggy and frustrating.

It was fun, but the novelty wears off real fast. No disasters either, damnit i wanted to crash a plain, or have a tsunami and see how my city held up! No such fun here.
