Rush hour is essential to SC4. My first impression on SC4 without rush hour was, All the new gizmos and so few transportation options? because that's what a city is; transportation. I'm now content as cow chatting with his llama brethren. I'm not big on U-drive it I think it's added some focus to the game for some people; the city the work, while the missions the reward - like sim copter. I never liked MySim although they sure were better advisors than the bloody llamas I've got advising me. Anyway, here goes. New Transportation Options 9/10 U-Drive-It 4/10 European Tile Set 7/10 Bridges 10/10 Disasters 5/10 Personalization Feature 8/10 My Sims 6/10 Overall 8/10 Ps: I cringe whenever I think of SC4 without Rush Hour. Although a real city without Rush Hour would be nice.
