Excellent. It's really nice to see a screensaver after an absence of almost a year. I've missed the fortnightly screensaver giveaway. Lets hope they are making a comeback :) (though there will be those that are groaning).

That said I'm rather disappointed with this screensaver. I'd much prefer to see images of real city night scenes. Video clips of several cities could easily have been strung together to make an effective looking screensaver. Instead we have a screensaver that looks very unrealistic. Theres not enough variety in the building forms and the lights just look false. Ah well at least its free. :)

worth an average 5 out of 10


I'd get better results from videoing my Cities XL and making a screensaver for that. All I need is a freeware screensaver making program. Any ideas?

Unsuccessful installation on Vista (64-bit) OS. Ran it using Admin Privileges, but still did not work, so uninstalled it asap.

2 Freeware Vista-Compatible Options (to create screensavers from SWF & Video Files, respectively) are:

1. Instant Storm

2. Video Screensaver

This is an OK screensaver, but definitely not one of my favorites. I don't mind the primitive graphics, it's about the atmosphere, and even a slow GPU should handle this fine. There's not a lot of variety in the music or the scenery. However, it doesn't support multi-monitors. 64-bit users will need to change the installation, check previous screensaver giveaways. Other users having problems, your DirectX or video drivers are messed-up, or you have a really primitive graphics card. This creates an extensive log in the program directory. I'd rather it didn't, but if you're having problems, you can check the log (Program Files\Lacombo\3D-Big-City-Night\lacombo.log). On Vista and higher, the registration entries will get virtualized, which is generally OK, but it's better to right-click Activate and Run as an Administrator.

Install on windows 7 64 bit but just flashes black screen then exists.
I have uninstalled this one. It does not remove publisher from the registery when it uninstalls

It looks like GTA with all the fun removed.
