Story Sim City 4 - Rush Hour |
| Transportation is the pulsing life-blood of every city and is the number one requested area to expand upon among SimCity 4 fans," said Lucy Bradshaw, Vice President and Executive Producer of the game at EA's Maxis studio. "Players will experience the thrill and power of creating and controlling the ultimate transportation utopia in SimCity 4 Rush Hour." Players will put their Sims on the road to happiness as they take control of their city's transportation. Players can accelerate their Sims on their way to work or play with a wide variety of new transportation options. They can create the elevated train networks of Boston, the wide- avenues of New York, or the winding one-way streets of San Francisco. Players also will be able to develop a seamless mass-transit system including rail, subway, or even a scenic ferry service that connects to a greater regional travel network. With all-new problem-solving maps and tracking tools, players will be able to see the pulsing flow of traffic, map out the most efficient routes, and quickly get Sims from one city to another. For the first time, players will take charge of vehicles in their cities. Is the fire department stuck in traffic on its way to a four-alarm fire? Players will take direct control of the "hook and ladder" and pursue the quickest route to the blazing inferno. Players will also solve missions such as catching car-jackers and thwarting bank robbers to earn reward buildings and other vehicles. As players gain traction by fixing transportation problems and solving missions, they will watch their mayor approval rating soar and their Sim population grow! They will also be able to put their Sims on the move in new cars, ferries, helicopters, and zeppelins. New to SimCity 4 Rush Hour are a variety of new bridge options and the ability to create a city based on a modern European building set. Players will also be able to add popular structures to their cities such as historic train stations, classic Americana road marks, or European tourist attractions. They can make their final mark as mayor and personalize their city by labeling street names, mountains, neighborhoods, and points of interest. True to the SimCity series, the expansion pack will also feature new disasters. Car accidents and train derailments can wreak havoc throughout the city and snarl traffic. Players may test their nerve and stop a car at the intersection of a rail road and watch what happens next. Players also will be able to start a UFO alien invasion and watch the abduction of Sims, the destruction of buildings, and the creation of crop circles. Others may want to take control of their own flying saucer and create mayhem. Players can now put their foot on the gas and get their Sims on the go in SimCity 4 with SimCity 4 Rush Hour. Sim City 4 - Rush Hour is alleen bespeelbaar, als je de originel Sim City 4 bezit |

| For the first Sim City 4 expansion pack, "Rush Hour", we wanted to offer up a new building set to compliment those which had already shipped with the core product. There were several considerations in determining, firstly, what style/period of architecture would best supplement those already offered in the world of SC4, and secondly, which region/city might directly inspire the new set. The options that shipped with the core game were modern Houston, 1890's Chicago and 1930's New York City, and the idea was to showcase examples of the more notable buildings and houses of those places and times. So as your cities grow you can start to see a more rich variety of offerings, with monolithic manifestations of the ultra-modern sprouting up down the block from an old brick edifice with hundred-year-old patinas. Okay so we've pulled from some pretty disparate places around the US, and we feel that we've established a good range of styles that infuse your cities with the breadth of architectural "characters" to yield the ideal diverse metropolis of today. Well, diverse enough for us here in the U.S. perhaps, but let's tap back into the Old World at this point, where it is not as likely that the latest mini-mansions or cheap tenements in Houston resonate with anyone, inspiring fond memories of that last trip to visit aunt Thelma-Lou in River Oaks, just off of Westhiemer. Huh? Exactly. So for the latest building set style for SC4 we opted for a contemporary European look, specifically German, bringing a huge (and fast-growing) number of SC players into the loop. We largely pulled from the spirit and dynamism of modern architectural milestones in and around Berlin and Frankfurt, places where you can find some outrageously creative works in glass, aluminum, granite… works of art in which people happen to live and work! There have been bold and stunning developments in European architecture lately, and we looked closely at numerous other regions/cities throughout the old world, but honed in mostly on the modern German as a source of inspiration. Germany's legendary "fertile grounds" for radical new developments has played out especially well in the field of architecture this last decade, and we felt we had identified an overall design sensibility that was sufficiently unique from the Houston set, which, though also modern, is generally more restrained and more composed, even a bit somber, in comparison. When first charged with the task of determining which architectural style to mine for the latest building set, I had started out with a stubborn determination that we should go with any number of the marvelous older European architectural styles. I confess to having been rather partial in this area, generally preferring the traditional over the modern in virtually all manners of artistic expression, chief among them being ARCHITECTURE! I am one of those traditionalists who perhaps never fully recovered from the dreaded legacy of the Bauhaus movement of the early 20th century, where the agenda was to dispense with the ornamental vestiges of Europe's architectural past, and to keep this art in step with other profound and radical developments in philosophy, art and science of the times. This meant, to me, glass-and-steel-boxes-with-no-character-or-warmth. No fun! I was determined to tap the earlier traditions, which to me were all about charm and elegance, etc. Well I will leave it at etc., as I could go on and on about this… but that wouldn't be fun for you, only me. Let's skip ahead to the part about how this new thinking in architecture, as manifest in the great capitols of Europe lately, has won me over. Largely under the pretense of due diligence, I dutifully flipped through some books on the "illegitimate" subject… but gradually (you guessed?) I was drawn in more and more, and came to appreciate the paradoxical co-existence of old and new sharing the same zones. Eventually I was won over completely, and furiously began collecting reference materials on the great office towers, villas, and run down shanties for low-wealth housing units (though I have to say this was a challenge given the comparative high standard of living even the poorest Germans enjoy) with my relentless and hard-working partner in this endeavor, Evan Magers. So in large part over the course of my explorations for your new building set, involving up-close scrutiny of the creativity and craft that went into these spanking new buildings, I have come to really appreciate the new stuff! Hey, they are using color and form in fun ways (fun, but not silly) and are elegant and stately in very different ways. And these things are somehow plausible, worked in between eight-hundred-year-old cathedrals and eighteenth century row-houses. German city planners and architects have had to think quite a lot about how to address this challenge in the post-war years, and there are some very interesting and inspiring solutions apparent. Well, this indeed has been a consideration of mine, as we must account for the fact that this sort of phenomenon plays out regularly in the game. We believe that we have successfully integrated this new building set into the already robust environment of Sim City 4, and that it serves to further enhance the breadth and complexity of the world. We'll know soon enough if we have indeed succeeded, as we expect to be hearing from you! Paar gebouwen die je kan krijgen in Sim City 4 - Rush Hour.     |
