This game is so much fun!!!!!!!!! I wish it would have come out earlier. My favorite thing is the U-Drive it feature. You can drive many different kinds of trains, plains, cars, and boats!!!
I love to drive my Sim around town andgo to other Sims houses!!!
I still wish the sims could get married,and live in a house together.!!! I don't have The Sims, but hope to get it for my B-day.Then I can get more Sims in my City!!!!!! I you liked Simcity3000 Unlimited (I did) then get this game!! The Deluxe game is much cheaper depending on where you shop so shop around!!!

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.

What Simcity 4 brings on?

Surfing the Net, I see that Maxis is now preparing to launch Simcity 4: Rush Hour Expansion Pack. I wonder what Maxis bring on with an expansion of a Game {Simcity 4}, if only the game without expansions to add-on Simcity 4 is whole fun and enjoyable?
I am giving 4 stars not for the Expansion because still yet not have been published, but the expactations that Expansion Pack is going to add to the Game itself.

Best Game Ever!

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!

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!!!
