| 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful  This is Simcity 4 only.. Rushhour expansion (or SC4Deluxe) is crucial, By John "Old Guy" (OH USA) - See all my reviews = Fun: This review is from: SimCity 4 (CD-ROM) This game was released about 2003 and developed over the 5 years prior to that. It also is completely unsupported by its "owners" EA (which bought it from Maxis)and has been for pushing a decade (it is a "cash cow" only). It is out of it's element on todays machines. The game is single-threaded and has its own scheduler. It is not well-adapted to a multitasking environment. It also can be rather snarky in getting along with some graphics cards. This means it has some real quirks and issues such as occasional failures to save, or lost cities, or "crash to desktop" (CTD's). On the other hand these can be countered by frequent saves and backups along with certain "habits" in the play methodology.If one does this, this game has some real appeal to many people.The game was released as a core game, Simcity 4 (SC4) and an expansion, Rush Hour (RH) which in combination was dubbed "Simcity 4 Deluxe" SC4D. The Rushhour expansion used to be available seperately, but is quite scarce...

My only problem with it (and other games in the Sims series') is that it somewhat frequently crashes, which is why I rated it 4/5. It's really inconvienent and you lose everythng that wasn't saved up until that point, so I'd recommend frequent game saving, especially after anything big you complete in the game. It's somewhat impossible to run a successful, big city without the cheat codes, which you can easily google for. But a cheat for a $1000 is ctrl+x, then type 'weaknesspays' in the green box at the top left corner. the cheat to unlock all the gifts is ctrl=x, then type 'you don't deserve it' in the green box at the top left.....But the $7.99 price tag is an excellent price and the shipping wasn't bad either. However I'd recommend SimCity 4 Deluxe for more features. Keep Hubby Happy, By Katherine M. Peron (San Antonio, TX, US) - See all my reviews = Fun: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: SimCity 4 (CD-ROM) My Husband had to have this game he looked all over town and couldn't find it. He was very suprised when it got here and couldn't believe The price I paid. He spends hours relaxing with the game in the evening. Came super fast and was a really good buy. Plays very well. |
