## Description

Product Description San Francisco, with its steep hills and winding streets, has always been one of the most inhospitable cities for driving--at least for those who follow traffic laws. In San Francisco Rush 2049, you'll use Baghdad by the Bay's unique terrain to your advantage in aggressive racing that takes place decades into the future. Use strategically placed jumps to get past the competition. The Dreamcast version of the game features 19 tracks and 13 customizable cars. You'll choose between different race modes, including stunt, obstacle, and battle match, where up to four players simultaneously fight (literally) for the finish. desertcart.com Does tearing down the streets of San Francisco at death-inducing speeds appeal to you? If so, San Francisco Rush 2049 is your game. However, in 2049, the legendary hills and hairpin turns of the City by the Bay have been modified for extreme racing action, if not exactly deep gameplay. Still, it's the blazing speeds and colors that'll keep arcade racing fans applying the pedal to the proverbial metal. If you're a fan of the Rush series, you'll be happy to see that the basic gameplay hasn't changed much. All of the races take place on tracks that feature wild colors and many twists and turns. This time, however, the setting is a futuristic San Francisco that resembles our present-day one only vaguely. As usual, the secret to winning Rush's races isn't so much driving ability as it is finding all of the shortcuts on a given track. This time around, you actually can make your car glide (by activating hidden wings) whenever it catches some air--a cool feature that feels somewhat underutilized. In addition to standard racing, Rush also offers five other play modes, including ghost (in which you race against an image of your previous best lap time), circuit, battle, and stunt modes. In battle, you and up to three other friends drive around huge arenas furiously while trying to blast each other to kingdom come. Your cars can carry a host of odd weapons including chain guns, mines, and mortar. All in all, fans of Twisted Metal or Vigilante 8 should have fun with battle mode, as the arenas are cleverly designed, and the action is fast and furious. It's almost worth price of admission alone. As in previous Rush editions, the stunt mode offers arenas that'll test your control of the cars' already ludicrously exaggerated physics. You'll perform impossible maneuvers in arenas that defy even fundamental laws of architecture. The more flips, spins, and death-defying landings that you pull off, the higher your score. I was a little surprised at the lack of aggression that was shown by computer-controlled racers, which seemed a bit lax in their efforts to stop you from passing them, and instead almost behaved as if they were on rails, and oblivious to you stealing the lead. Also, while the graphics show amazing amounts of detail and color, at times they'll show a definite slowdown. No, it's not quite bad enough to ruin a race, but it's noticeable and does show some sloppiness on Midway's part. After the race has been won, you'll find, for near-mindless arcade racing/gliding/blasting/stunts, that San Francisco Rush 2049 is a highly playable arcade racer that'll make fans of the series, both old and new, happy that they own a Dreamcast. If you've never played a Rush game, this is an excellent intro to the series. --Mark BrooksPros:Bright, colorful, and highly detailed graphics Many different gameplay modes Four-player battle mode Cons:Irritating slowdown during races Computer-controlled racers are not aggressive

Review: A different type of racing game. - SF Rush 2049 is an interesting twist on the non-traditional racer. It is similar to previous releases of the same title, but with updated graphics and so on. The controls are smooth and pretty simple to learn. The amount of cars, tracks, and different racing modes realy helps the replay value. The battle mode is great for taking breaks from just a normal (if you can call them normal) races. If you like racing games and are not a die hard sim/realism junky then you will love this game. For those that are, stear clear, it's not for you.
Review: I love this game - Addicting! I get hooked on this game every year when I visit my 8 and 11 year old nephews at Thanksgiving. The best part of the game is not the racing, but the other two "mini-games" that come along with it. There are so many racing style games that I get sick of them, but BATTLE and STUNT is both unique and tons of fun when you have multiple players. In battle everyone gets to drive randomly around a city (or arena) to find guns and to destroy the other players cars. It is the best of a car racing game and a first person shooter all roled into one. There is also a bit of strategy involved in the game since there are multiple types of weapons and you have to locate the best weapon to take on your opponent. Often this means protecting certain areas of the city since the guns always appear in the same spots (that sounds dumb but it actually adds to the fun of the game). Cool game! Stunt....well stunt is just fun to do!
