86The only thing that is puzzling about the entire expansion is that it feels like this should have been included with the original game. The U-DRIVE-IT feature is one of the best things included with this expansion.
-
85A must-own for "SimCity 4" fans, and for those who found the game too tough out of the box. [Holiday 2003, p.104]
-
83Takes the next step by adding such useful features that you'll wonder why they weren't in the original game.
-
If you enjoy SimCity 4, youre sure to like the new tools and transportation options in Rush Hour. If you found SimCity 4 to be too difficult or to require too much micromanagement, then Rush Hour is probably not for you.
-
81The all-new vehicle mode has its quirks, but otherwise it's a great addition to the gameplay.
-
81I find some of the new features should have been part of the original to have made it a more complete game.
-
80The new driving options are a nice consolation for those of us who'd still like to see more scenarios and directed challenges that involve the city as a whole. That, coupled with the new transportation options, make Rush Hour an easy sell for fans of the game.
-
80An invaluable addition to an already great game. The driving missions are a fun and sometimes useful diversion. But the real winner here is how you can more easily deal with their traffic problems.
-
The new focus on transportation adds substantially to an already excellent game experience.
-
The level of detail is amazing, although the overall quality of the game will be determined by your PC's capabilities. It's relatively easy to play but the more you get into it the more depth will reveal itself.
-
I have mixed feeling about whether anyone should have to pay for features that should have been included in the original release and have already been included in countless patches.
-
It adds some important elements to the game, but also has a ton of junk that really has nothing to do with the city building experience. [Dec 2003, p.183]
-
75All the features put together make a fun addition to SimCity, but only because the expansion packs in so many different additions to the game.
-
70At times, yes, it does feel as though most of this stuff should be available on the website along with the rest of the free extras, but the impact the pack has on your creations can't be ignored and, for the Sim City obsessed, they're actually quite essential.
-
70A great way to add new travel options to your existing Sim City 4 infrastructure, with a somewhat gimmicky U-Drive-It mode.
-
70While some of the new content is rather pointless, there's still a good quantity of solid additional material in this expansion, and the transport improvements alone make it worth the cost.
-
Rush Hour makes it a better game, but it's still missing something that past editions delivered, the feeling you could create whatever you wanted. [Jan 2004, p.78]
