FUN, BUT IT NEEDS A TUNE-UP 7.5 OUT OF 10

Rush 2049 is a decent racing game for the Nintendo 64 that while it has been worn by age, it's still fun to play. The tracks are still fun to race around and still look good despite the age of the game. The cars still look great and are still a lot of fun to drive. Multiplayer is still great and the stunt arenas are still fun. There is one issue that mars this game; it's the fact that the game starts to feel mundane after a period of time, and it won't exactly make you forget Mario Kart 64. Unfortunately, with a presence like Mario Kart on the N64, chances are this game has been long-forgotten and in some ways it is kind of a forgotten gem that is likely collecting dust in people's N64 collections instead of being played like it should.

The Coolness is Amazing

GReAt GaME!!
From An 8 year oLd gamer: Very good Game.
If you buy it you Might
Say, " CooL! it deserves 5
Stars!" PLUS it's got a stunt course and a battle course (but for 2-4 players, or so the manual said). PLUS there's circuit race, practice, single race, a few cars to choose from, a fog feature and wind.I would recommend this to anyone.

Frantic Futuristic Fun!

THIS GAME ROCKS! I love this game-ever since I bought it. This game must have about a million pros-in fact, here is my chart.

Pros:

1. Sweet Graphics
2. Best sound for any console
3. Major awsome tracks
4. Huje jumps- for massive air (I'm talkin' hundreds of feet)
5. Many awsomley detailed futuristic cars
6. Best Gameplay for any game
7. So fun, you'll play it 24/7

Cons:

1. needs memory card in order to save

Even though there is one con-doesn't meen anything! The multiplayer mode is very excellent too! You get multiplayer:

1. Stunt mode
2. Battle
3. Single race
4. practice

and more!

Stunt:

In stunt mode, you get four tracks to do corkscrews, endoes, twists turns, flips-every trick in the world! The wing feature also allows you to glide through the air-and do major awsome stunts easier! Sweet! (available in 1player mode, also)

Battle:

In battle mode, you get 8 awsome futuristic arenas with sweet weapons:

1. CHAINGUN-Everyone's favorite, just shoot this automatic weapon and blow your opponent's head off!

2. RIFLE-This is your default weapon. It is bad, but you could give him some damage.

3. ROCKET LAUNCHER-Yeah. Shoots 20-50 rockets that could do quite some damage. Explosion sounds are awsome.

4. TORPEDO LAUNCHER-One of the best weapons. Only 3, but once fired, they follow the opponent-like, if he turns, it turns. One hit for this baby and your opponent is roadkill.

5. FASER-THINGY-I don't know what this thing is-either a plasma gun or a technical green bullet thingy or something else. It shoots green liquid-I don't know. Just play the game and you'll see.

6. MINE LAYER-Lays mines-one hit and kablamo!

7. BLAST SHOCKWAVE GUN-This thing, when you pick it up, goes on top of your car. When you fire it, it makes a shockwave (air too) that travels and knocks over or kills any car within a 20 foot radius. Pretty awsome. Cool.

8. NUCLEAR RAMMER-This weapon is hard to use-but could also be a shield and exterminates an opponent with one hit. It is like a mini-sattelite that fits in the front of your car. When you ram into someone with it, it blows them up. Also, if someone is in front of you and fires a torpedo or rocket or something, the rammer absorbs the stinking hit! (But only if in front or the direction pointed in)

I think I covered all of the weapons and here are the powers you pick up in battle mode.

WRENCH-Gives you maximum health; gives all your health back

SHIELD-Shields you for about three to five minutes

INVISIBILITY-Makes you invisible for two minutes

That's the powerups.

Now, what is good about single races is that you can customize the track-make it backwords, mirror it, increse wind, and increase amount of fog.

This game is awsome-and you must buy it. I recomend it for everyone. IT'S AWSOME! BUY IT!

Terrific futuristic speed -- and car crashes!

Although there is a better-looking version of this game on the Sega Dreamcast, this one is very, very good and holds its own. Graphics are bright and detailed, controls are crisp, and there are plenty of game modes from which to choose. My favorite is the Stunt mode, which is a zen-like exercise in launching your car into the air off of a ramp, letting it tilt turn and tumble through the air, and hoping you stick a good landing on all four wheels when the moon-like gravity finally pulls you back to earth. Your car is equipped with wings that can slow your descent, but if you use them, you lose the potential for earning big points.

As a package, SFR2049 is one of the best arcade conversions ever -- plus a lot more for the home player. The programmer, Ed Logg, is a prince of the arcades. His previous games include Asteroids, Centipede, Gauntlet, Steel Talons, Hard Drivin', and the original San Francisco Rush. I'd love to see more of this kind of work on the more recent consoles.

A great racing game!!!

This is a cool game. It has lots of cars to choose from, including the formula 1 and Bruiser cars. The best modes are the stunt and obstacle modes. The battle mode is also fun, but it gets tiring after playing it for a while. The only bad thing about this game is that it is hard to land tricks on stunt mode.

best racer on this sytem

This is a very fun game. The stunt, battle, and obstacle modes are my favorites. I like games in which you use weapons and items to beat your opponents. Obstacle mode is tough, but you get good at it after awhile. The only thing I don't like is that I can't find it at ANY STORE!

Sweet Stunt Mode

Hey, this game is awsome. The stunt mode is the best part. Whether it is the high flying rings your going for or the super sweet stunt points for this game is for you. Then of course there is the fact that your car has wings. You can you these to alter the spin of your car and get more points. But no matter what your doing this game is awesome. It has cool cars too.
