Editorial Review

Rush 2: Extreme Racing USA is the follow-up to the popular arcade-turned-platform-game San Francisco Rush, offering the signature rambunctious gameplay of the original with several welcomed new features. No longer limited to zipping through the streets of San Francisco, drivers plow through express tours of Seattle, New York (uptown and midtown), Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Honolulu, among other tracks. An addictive new feature is a stunt track, where players rack up points by performing spectacular jumps, in-air spins, flips, and loops. Ever seen skaters frolicking about at a skateboard park? Think bigger park with frolicking one-ton vehicles. Not the prettiest sight, but so much fun.

Obviously, this is a far cry from the traditional auto racing game. Rush 2 is an all-out, full-throttle action racer, with cars careening through shortcuts, performing gravity-defying leaps, and, occasionally, actually racing down the main track. One cool feature (and slight annoyance): collecting keys and cans of a trademarked hyper-caffeinated soft drink--carefully placed on the track by cunning marketing executives--opens new areas, offers new vehicles, and provides cheats. --Eric Twelker

Pros:

• Same out-of-control fun as the original, with new enhancements
• Great offering of new tracks, cars, and secret features
• Strong multiplayer appeal

Cons:

• Graphics slightly outdated
• Sound best enjoyed at an imperceptible volume

5.0 out of 5 stars The standard for racing games., December 4, 1999

This review is from: Rush 2 Extreme Racing USA (Game Cartridge)

Even a year after it's release, Rush 2 stands alone as the best racing game out there. The depth of the tracks and precise control of the cars make for a game that you never get tired of playing. You can play a track four different ways. Forward, backward, mirror image and backward mirror image. This forces you to learn every track inside and out and there are shortcuts that can only be reached in one direction which adds to the fun. The ability to control every nuance of your cars handling makes for a challenging interface and the variety of available cars is awesome. Let's not forget the stunt track. This is a special track that in multiplayer mode is fiercly addicting. Overall, this game is simply awesome.

Rush two is a great improvment on the first rush. With the ability to adjust each of the 12+ cars color,handling,engine sound,and mags this game has it all. It also has a great sound track to go along with it's well designed tracks. Two player action is great and the stunt course provides hours of fun. Of all the racing games for the 64 this has to be one of the better ones money well spent!

Rush 2 has every thing. It is the standard by which all future racing games will be judged. It includes several modes including a new stunt mode which along with a long list of cheats can give hours upon hours of pure racing excitement. Lets not forget what this game is really about RACING and theres plenty of that too. With 9 levels and mirror and backwards modes it gives the option of 25+ levels of pure asphault excitement.
