L.A. Rush

"LA Rush looks fine, sounds generic and plays irremediably. If you've ever played any of the other Rush games, this game will be a disappointment. If you've ever played San Andreas, this game will be a disappointment. If you've ever played any of the bulging canon of recent Cars-and-Hip-hop games, you'll be disappointed. With so many other, better games that simply provide more fun in the same environs, it's difficult to recommend this game at all."

"A great-looking, reasonably controllable Midnight Club 3 wannabe destroyed by derivative, pointless, and tedious gameplay."

"Open cities, missions, and car tuning? What happened to old-school Rush? First, rose colored glasses might trick you into thinking that more of the same Rush 2049 might do the trick, but racing games are far more interesting and sophisticated than before, and the videos we saw of the three previous Rush games showed us just how antiquated those games look and perform. They're still great in their own ways, but Midway wants to move on, and this one looks to do things that none of its competitors are."

"If you've played any previous Rush games, you'll be sorely disappointed. It's nothing like any Rush game -- in look, feel, design, physics, or anything else. If you like Midtown Madness, Need for Speed Underground 2, or Midnight Club 3, LA Rush pales in comparison."
