What our customer's say!

"SimCity 4 Rush Hour", This game is fantastic because you can complete the new 'U-Drive It' missions and you can easily get Hi-Rises like 'Sheehy Condos' and 'Butts Condos' and 'Hi-Rise Tenement'. There is a cheat 'Dollyllama' that turns the advisors into Llamas!!!

"Best Game Yet!", For the majority of those who own SimCity 4, and are thinking about this as the same old things, you will be absoloutely fooled! This completes SimCity 4. Trust me, everyone out there, that SimCity 4 is not complete with Rush Hour, like a Pie without Sauce!

The first thing is that Maxis have now implemented difficulty levels. I, and many other people, may have found the original SimCity too difficult. There are three cool new difficulty levels! You can play Easy, Medium, or Hard mode. In the 'Easy' mode, you start out with $500,000 and everything is so easy to manage!

I have not played the 'Medium' level, therefore I do not know what it is like, and its aspects, yet I have heard some talk about it. It turns out that the 'Medium' level is sort of in between the other two playing levels.

In the 'Hard' mode, you start out with $100,000, and it is much more complex. In the 'Hard' mode, things are hard to control, but there is a benefit from playing in this mode. The benefit is the fact that those annoying advisors will just shut their holes for a change! This is a huge benefit from the original SimCity.

The modes also helped me make larger cities. In SimCity 4, it was impossible to make a town of 10,000 Sims without falling into debt. Nah, not in Rush Hour, it turns out.

The best thing is yet to come. But, you can be a little personal by adding nametags to personalize your city. You click on any location with the 'Label' tool and type in what you want in the bar. You then press 'Accept' and it appears. If you do not want to view your labels, you can always go to the Label panel and click 'Off' fotr viewing nametags.

Another huge leap foward is that Maxis have created new buildings. There are heaps of varieties of new buildings to choose from. Maxis have now added heaps of new buildings in different categories. There are two new Police Stations, a cool new Fire Station, Large Elementary and High Schools, and heaps of new civic structures and services.

The new added feature everyone is going on about is the 'U-Drive It Missions'. I'm sorry to admit I haven't actually tried the missions yet, I just accept the 'Free Drive'.

The thing you've been waiting for folks, is now coming. You now get unlimited Transportation options! Highway Intersections are now that simple to place, you can build Elevated Rails, Rail Stations, Monorails, Subways, and more! The best things is the fact that Highways can now transitions into Avenues, which can transition into One-Way Roads. Avenues were needed to handle extra traffic.

There is only one weakness in the game, and I am going to admit that now. I'm sorry to say, my Sims don't use their brains and use the Avenues I have provided them with, therefore you end up seeing abandoned buildings all across the city just because they didn't use their brains and took the streets to work! Maxis need to fix that bug, and I really mean it!

Overall, this Expansion Pack was essential to fix the many problems with SimCity 4, and once again, Maxis have proven themselves successful! I think they should continue on with the ever-popular SimCity series which has been a success for 17 years now, before I was even born! This game is so awesome!! I recommend it to all you folks who have a Creative mind, just like me! I say Rush Hour is best of all the Sim series!

Perhaps the most dissapointing part of the Rush Hour experience was when my silly little sister cracked the disc, claiming that she didn't even touch it! I have now had to order another copy which is on the way. Even my brother has fights over who's turn it is to play this; he loves the game also.

(P.S.: Here are some cheats, that came in handy for me-
Ctrl+X, then a bar will appear at the top of the screen. Type in one of the following-
Hellomynameis- Change Mayor Name
Whereufrom- Change City Name
Howdryiam- Get rid of Water Requirement
Fightthepower- Get rid of Power Requirement
Dollyllama- Turns Advisors to Llamas
Weaknesspays- $1000)

(Warning: Never use cheats in the beginning of the game, otherwise your city will never develop)

(My biggest city so far is called White Hills, has Hi-Rises, and a population of 124,118 Sims)





"AWESOME!!!", For those people who think this is no different from SimCity 4, and a waste of money, I can prove to you that this makes the game even more fun than ever before! Because I have this, I cannot be bothered to play just the SimCity 4.

The thing I really like about this game is that there are new disasters, not the boring old ones from SC4. Also, you can choose from four optional building sets. You can have a Chicago 1890 style, a New York 1940, a Houston 1990, and a Euro-Contemporary style. But, there are more things to come. Unlike SC4, there are heaps more buildings that you can unlock. Here are some of the new buildings: A Spaceport, A Cruise Ship port, A Marina, A Monorail Station, A Car & Passenger ferry terminal, A Deluxe Police Station, A Fire Department Landing Strip, A Police Kiosk, A Large Capacity Elementary School, and a Large Capacity High School. But, more. You also have more transportation options. You can place a Monorail Network, A Ferry Route, Elevated Rails, Ground Level Highways, and even Wide Avenues. It is now much easier to connect cities and create deals.

You can also add nametags to personalize your city. You simply 'add a nametag' and type in what you want.

I do not like the U-Drive It missions, as the vehicles are too difficult to steer.

Also, some rewards are not as costly as SC4. But do expect some cons, some rewards are more expensive than SC4.

This game is not as difficult as SC4. You can choose your difficulty level, Easy, Medium, or Hard. Easy, you start off with $500,000, Medium $200,000, and Hard $100,000.

This is a warning, your advisors nag you too much, unlike SC4, especially 'New Residential Development Stymed by lifestyle choices' and 'Industry needs room to expand', trust me, Maxis need more time into less annoying advisors. Perhaps in SC5 they will have less annoying advisors.

So, people who own SC4, don't think of this as the same old thing. Go out and buy this! Highly addictive and habit forming!

(P.S: I used cheat codes like 'You don't deserve it'. You simply press Ctrl+X and a bar will appear at the top of the screen. Type it in and press enter. It unlocks all rewards & business deals.
For those of you looking for the serial code needed to play, it is on the back of the booklet provided in the case.
Warning: Do not use cheats until your city is as big as you desire. Otherwise, if you do it when just starting a city, your city will never grow.)

"They will gladly take your money...again.", Since the makers of the original SimCity 4 never actually fully patched that version, they tell you to buy Rush Hour to solve the issues existing with that main version. Throwing in a few additions that could have been made available for download, you must buy this expansion in order for the game to even work with ANY future elements they may provide. Newer building tools or the rare new structure will simply not work with the stand alone version.
But the "situation" even goes much deeper than that-
Problems were not only not fixed, but were actually HIDDEN by the game designers. Observant players of the original SC4 would notice cars driving in circles or driving a highway,leaving and re-entering it at each exit! With Rush Hour, they merely lowered the amount of time automobiles would be displayed so players would think there are no problems. Very sneaky Maxis! Many gamers are none the wiser. It is truly amazing the game developers could get away with such practices... and laugh all the way to the bank.

"god like powers", This is the best game since GTA. The best thing to do is name streets and roads and neighborhoods and districts. I wish you could make a ethnic neighborhood then it would be really fun. You can make suburbs like the big city can be very blue collar and crime ridden and bad schools and one suburb can be white collar with mansions and excellent schools depending on what neighborhood you pay most attention to, just one of the best games ever made.

"SimCity 4--Great FUN (A Lot Of Fun)!!!", SimCity 4 Rush Hour Expansion Pack is an exceptional additon to SimCity 4. The Expansion Pack makes the game more detailed and more fun to play. Numerous modes of transportation is included giving the choice of a monorail, ferry, ground level highways, and other choices. You can see how the traffic flows in the morning and evening rush, and you can see how your sims are getting around with the transportation query tool. You can choose where your sims will work and what car they drive, if you want them to drive. Other features include the capabilities of driving a car, a bus, flying a helicopter, and other types of vehicles, as well. It is a big step forward from prior gaming experience with SimCity 4 and SimCity 3000 Unlimited. There is so much to build and create in this game when building your own city, and this game afford so much opportunity to do more.

Maxis has done a wonderful job at developing the Expansion Pack. It has made playing SimCity 4 much more user friendly and more interesting. Anyone who has played any version of SimCity will really like this one. I highly recommend this game for anyone who loves a challenge of building a city and having control of it.

Joy.

"Corrects many of the mistakes of the original Simcity 4!", The Simcity 4 game had several mistakes that I felt kind of stymied the game a bit. The first was, where are the avenues (four lane divided roads) because I mean, You can't just build a New York CIty on just mere two lane streets or roads. Another thing was the subways and transportation system which often sat neglected and unused even on highly congested intersections.

This Expansion Pack corrects many of those mistakes that were on the older version of SC 4. Not only that, but there are a whole truckload of new stuff that comes iwth this expansion. Many of them are just amazing.

You can now building wide avenues with medians! Why could'ne one be able to build Cicero Ave. or North Ave. on the older one? You can now do all that on this newest expansion pack. You can also choose between either the ground freeway (Think the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago), or an elevated freeway (Think the Tri-State Tollway in Chicago as well) and you can even add pay tolls if you're in dire need of some extra simoleons! One of hte greatest blessings too is that you can build safe interchanges where freeways terminate or transition into avenues. That was a major problem with the older SC 4 game where I found a freeway I built dangling with a cliffhanging ending where it looked like cars had to be lifted by cranes to get on and crash in fireballs when driving off the edge. Basically, the freeway terminals looked more like daredevil stunts waiting to happen. That is no more on the Simcity 4 Rush HOur Expansion Pack!

Other things in included are monorail for better transportaion, elevated rail, elevated rail to subway, larger civic buildings. You also get new disasters, new music and a much better scope on the already HUGE Simcity 4 world. There is one new song in particular which is absolutely haunting and so breathtaking that it almost deserves to be released on CD to listen to on a CD-Player or headphones! Amazing!

This game requires the older Simcity 4 game so it's safe to say that this is no cash-in on buyers unlike what they do with movies or CDs (X-Men 1.5 was a big cash-in joke) and in fact was a very smart move on Maxis' part. THere are still some flaws on the newer edition that perhaps a second Expansion Pack may correct in the future but for now "Rush Hour" is an absolute blessing on my part because it fixes so many of the problems that plagued Simcity 4. Please buy this if you already have the original game. This will make the game feel so much more realistic, and almost completely different altogether in a really spellbinding way! You will not be dissapointed!

"Best Game Ever!", This game was the coolest game ever better than SimCity 4 was when it first came out.This expansion pack has more to offer and the graphics on this game is unbelievable.A must buy game if your a person like me that likes city building.

"Nice Addition to SC4", For the price, this is a nice addition and update to SC4, the only computer game I play or have ever been interested in playing. The features of this expansion are easy to learn and add extra dimension to an otherwise great edition. Seeing ferries moving passengers is cool, and the Udrive feature can take some of the boring moments away. But that feature is not easy to master. I recommend it if you already have the first release of SC4

"Worth every dime, every late night spent playing...", The Rush Hour expansion pack defines the future of simulation games. No longer must we be content to sit back and watch our city grow. Now we can build vast regional networks, through new highway options and even monorail. I never realized ground highways were missing until I saw them here. There are still very challenging items to tackle. It used to be bus stops were impossible; now it's parking garages. Traffic has become a bit of a nightmare, and we now get to see every flaming car wreck. We get new feedback on our traffic with the query button. I think the best additions have been the ferries and monorail. I just used both to build a city of 80,000 in 16 years. I didn't even know that was possible! There is still room for improvement, and I look forward to the next installment in this excellent series. We still have to make our own traffic circles, and there are no community centers, Ys, or public pools. There isn't much lacking and certainly nothing that should keep a SimCity fan from purchasing the Rush Hour expansion pack today. It's addicting and wonderfully fun!
