Rush 2 Review
All right, here's my review for what I believe to be the best racing game on the Nintendo 64, and one of the top racing games for any system.
Some racing games seek to deliver the most true to life experience of driving a car, and driving it fast, without ever setting foot inside the interior of one. Other games allow you to customize every minute detail of your car, so that the car you're driving is your dream car in real life. Now, these things are great, and make for great games.

Gameplay: 10
For a game like this, the gameplay is the most important part. On a system like the Nintendo 64 where you can't get amazing graphics (albeit great graphics for the time it was made) nor amazing sound, the gameplay makes up for it. To start off, it is an arcade-style driving game and the driving in this game is just plain enjoyable, which is what other games should focus on. At times you'll be spinning out of control, driving on two wheels, doing flips (and landing them if you're lucky) and driving through full loops, which one track includes as a "shortcut". Included in the game is, if you get bored, a stunt track as well. This allows you to have a fun time launching your car into the air and even scores you on the tricks you do. In addition to all the fun driving there is, you can also adjust how the track you choose will run with sliders like driving through the track backwards, fog, number of rivals, or the death race option. Death race is always fun, because if a car gets blown up, it stays incinerated, instead of reviving ala Mario Kart fashion. In case the driving gets too hard, or too easy for you, there is also an adjustable difficulty slider for each race. When all else fails, there's a great list of cheats to turn on, such as turning traffic cones into landmines, flight, and sup... Read the rest of this Review
