Cities XL

Cities XL is a simulation game in which players can build their own cities on realistic 3D maps. Players are challenged to create the right combination of social services, employment, activities, and job opportunities for the cities' citizens. In a handful of brief animations, a grandmother character will get into scuffles with much stronger men; this is usually depicted in a slapstick manner as the men cower in fear or futilely strike back.
