That's cause you probably played it on a CRT where it looked much better because of the natural fuzz. These PS2 games weren't meant to be played at high resolutions on these modern displays!
Games back then had a certain aesthetic to them that I still love today. It's something about the lighting and colours. Midnight Club 3 and LA are good examples of what I'm talking about. I wish this aesthetic would make a comeback in new games. I miss it.
I remember that i was very flashed about the graphics at this time. It was looking so real for me, and the cutscenes more than normal playing. What a great time. Everything was like RNB Music. I played this game hours and hours every friday.
At the time, it was great graphics and story... Now all this time later, we've seen much better so it doesn't have that effect it did before. Back then it was new and exciting, but 13 years later... We've seen so much better, so that feeling is gone. Welcome to nostalgia and getting old. Another few years, you'll be bitching about the shitty music kids listen to.
J’CG GTA 4 had more realistic driving physics tbh, but ig that’s because it’s in an urban setting, no one would enjoy GTA 4 physics with a map as expansive and open as gta 5’s
I remember getting all the cars glitch in this game. Go to garage unplug the controller plug it back in boom you have all the cars 2006 was a great year
Sadly, the developers who made that (who are the same developers made from Test Drive 4 to Overdrive The Brotherhood Of Speed 2002, Wheelman 2009 game, Demolition Racer and other games) their studio got shut down after Wheelman 2009 game was released
Amatheo Gonzalez or just rush something not necessarily LA cause La is played out we need like the bay area side shows and racing🤔like the old n64 game San Francisco rush type
For people who thinks its stupid to use a emulator when it is available for pc its because the game has anti piracy or something, but the game will destroy ur pc cause the game aould not recognize ur system especially for windows 10 and change either delete the system or change ur main hard drive to x: if u want to fix, i have to reset or call windows or go to ur local pc shop or just change ur hard disk or something but for laptops u have to reset it. Soz bit late
^ I think they should make LA Rush a DRM Free title on goodolddownloads.com so all you will need to do is download the torrent files plus ToCA 3 can be downloaded on that website for free as well and it doesn’t have the StarForce Program on it cause I tested it myself.
I miss playing this game after school ! Good times. This was my favorite racing game at that time , wish they made a remake for the new gen consoles I would definitely buy it
Ah memories. Who remembers going into the garage, going to the car you want that you haven’t unlocked, unplugging and then plugging the controller back to get the car without buying it 😂
when you get in the game just start the new player and change the name to “player?” When you get into the game you will see you have a lot of money and a lot of cars
Aahh The memory's just flood back.. I remembered crashing a lot on that game but man...idky but I really wanna see this game again but for XB1, PC and PS4 for everyone
Think about how much more space GTA has devoted to a disc. If you sacrifice content for graphical performance your game may look better, but then you have a game with far less depth. Not to mention this is running on an emulator which will upscale the graphics.
Didn't you guys hate that kinda AI system games had and still kinda do. Like the AI that's just faster than you no matter how fast you are? Like the old midnight club police just keeping up with your super car type shit. I hate it so much. Or like the svu chase. Driver is good for that too. Oh how i hate that so much in car games.
Guys, the game looks worse in the video than in real life. This is due to the emulator psx2 not being able to translate the code fully. It DID look better than you remember.
Hey @xTimelessGaming, what are your PC specs? Noticed that all of your PCSX2 game play runs very well. Love the footage too, you're playing all of the great PS2 classics! Keep it up! Edit: My bad, didn't know you had your specs listed on your about page. Appreciate all the info you put too, keep up the footage, it's a ton of fun to watch :D.
This is one of the greatest racing games I have ever played like it is my top five 1. Midnight Club 2 and up 2. Need for speed Hot Pursuit on PlayStation 2 and up 3. All Mario Karts that came out on Nintendo 4. L a rush 5. Twisted Metal 2 and up I know Twisted Metal is not really considered a racing game but I give him mad respect it's a legend of all racing games 6. Flat out another legendary racing game that started on Playstation but never got his props 7. Burnout this is going to sound weird but I like all the burn out 8. Grip I don't like the second one but I like the first 9. Split Second 10. Blur played it so much in my life Honorable mentions Forza on the horizon Project cars Forza Motorsports NASCAR GranTurismo DT racing These are games that I spent time playing but when I beat it I never played it ever again the ones on the countdown is games that I played constantly With Friends or by myself
i still have this game and my old ps2 it’s at my aunts house when ever i stay the night when ever i go to my aunts i get on the ps2 right away i wish they made this for the PS4 😎
This is why I'm glad I got an alarm system in my house specially when I go on vacation I was thinking all that money tricks had in this video game he would have had some type of bodyguards or an alarm system watching his place and his cars while he was gone
I would love to play another Rush game, if done right! Been holding out for another Midnight Club release, but it looks like R* doesn’t have any plans for it 😞
I remember playing this game since i couldn’t find anything that was like GTA vice city. this was my only option, and a few other racing games like rumble racing and dub edition
They needed to take a collection to have a barber cut that bullseye off of Whitey T’s head there. His friends are doing him ultra dirty not letting him know that he looks like that, lol.
TrueGreenSmoker PvP midnight club los Angeles came out for the ps3 in October 20 2008 and la rush came out October 10 2005 for the ps2. I was only talking MC LA Not the series itself.
Isn't it funny how all of us who played this game back in the day thought it looked much better in our memory💀
I remember this game being photo realistic as a child lmao
That's cause you probably played it on a CRT where it looked much better because of the natural fuzz. These PS2 games weren't meant to be played at high resolutions on these modern displays!
Of course,bc the quality at that time was just like that and u have been a kid
The emulator he's using is unfinished and is displaying completely broken graphics
It looked like a PS3 game to me 😂
These graphics looks hella dope for an old ps2 game
NeeroShean Beatz ikr
NeeroShean Beatz
And a 2005 game in general
That’s not how it originally looked the game is upscaled through the emulator
Yea

Rnb music with the sunset mood 😂
I remember the first time I crashed , shit caught me COMPLETELY off guard haha
I remember this game looking like GTA5 lmao
Ashton change drug dealer please
@@raptorit9092 he meant that his perception of this game's graphics back then was like perception of GTAV graphics nowadays.
Back in the day this game did look pretty good.
Ashton that’s the same way I felt bout San Andreas 😂
me too! I swear!
Most underrated game in the history of gaming,and its facts.
Yeah,it most like a rif-off midnight club,man l love L.A. Rush...is my old time i ever playing for an old years....
facts
Actually, test drive unlimited is the most underrated game.
Midnight Club Clone
San Francisco Rush on the N64 was more fun than this wannabe Test Drive shit.
when i played this game as a kid the way it looked and feel was completely different
No Name yup man i remember it as the crap i would play 24/7 but now looks like straight trash
No Name it looked so realistic in my memory...
Back then it was like WHOAH now its like wut haha. One of my favourite games though
Stefan Marinkovic me too man...
At the time, it was great graphics and story... Now all this time later, we've seen much better so it doesn't have that effect it did before. Back then it was new and exciting, but 13 years later... We've seen so much better, so that feeling is gone.
Welcome to nostalgia and getting old. Another few years, you'll be bitching about the shitty music kids listen to.
car accidents in this game more realistic than gta 5
because this is an arcade racer
FUZRE And GTA isn’t arcade in just about every possible way? And usually, things that are “arcadey” are more unrealistic soooooooo
J’CG GTA 4 had more realistic driving physics tbh, but ig that’s because it’s in an urban setting, no one would enjoy GTA 4 physics with a map as expansive and open as gta 5’s
That's because GTAV had terrible and simplistic car physics.
@@ficusvicus4959 it's the opposite of realism. Also, no need to be edgy. 😉
I remember getting all the cars glitch in this game. Go to garage unplug the controller plug it back in boom you have all the cars 2006 was a great year
Yeahh!! My brother found out about it and I got all happy lmao
Even tho they we still locked once u west cost customed it it would still be suped up
Wow I'm have to try that. Thanks
Thank you man 😂😂😂😂 my Brother hapy
ps2 had hella games better than ps4 I remember burnout and test drive all of rush midnight club dub edition remix with Tokyo Japan
John Beer Definitely...
Burnout 3 was my favorite
Burnout is my shit
John Beer godfather ? True crime New York ?
John Beer fr bro everything before Xbox one and PS4 had good games lmao
8:48 That's how you bend a corner.
me and an elementary friend used to play this in her basement for hours on end. one of the best memories from my childhood.
I love this game, i played for long time in my PS2 FAT
When I first saw the dog at the beginning, nostalgia 😭😭
For real
L.A Rush PS4 Remastered :o just imagine.
Sadly, the developers who made that (who are the same developers made from Test Drive 4 to Overdrive The Brotherhood Of Speed 2002, Wheelman 2009 game, Demolition Racer and other games) their studio got shut down after Wheelman 2009 game was released
I'd much rather a San Francisco Rush 2049 HD on Switch.
Amatheo Gonzalez or just rush something not necessarily LA cause La is played out we need like the bay area side shows and racing🤔like the old n64 game San Francisco rush type
yeah
just imagine the amount of dlcs in the game
its the cliche that matters
I remember renting this game from the movie rental store as a kid and absolutely loving it. I thought the graphics were amazing!
Midnight Club Cheap Edition
This game was b4 midnight club L.A.
dude you know that midnight club existed before MC LA right
I think hes talking about midnight club 3 lol
i think you mean midnight club 2, mate
What I was saying the rush series existed b4 midnight club
The model detail on the 240SX is ridiculous, ! It looks so good!
Makes me miss the play station 2 and this game. All the cool cut scenes. This was my favorite game at the time. Crazy how much games have evolved

@@tristan9169 Sorry I'm wrong, it wasn't ToCa. It was World Racing II and it's DRM "StarForce"
Whoa, what!? This game can mess up your PC? I didn't think any game could do that!
Yes kids, those were strange times. All of a sudden investors thought racing games needed a story, which at the time meant wiggers
Um Most Wanted 2005 had a story and did very well for itself what's wrong with that
A story is great... No matter if it's a racing game or something else.
You kids and your stories. A story is just fluff, gameplay is whats important
@@fryncyaryorvjink2140 hey I'm just saying some do it right some do it wrong
@@fryncyaryorvjink2140 Kids? Im 20... What would GTA be without a Story?
The graphic looks so Beautiful
I miss playing this game after school ! Good times. This was my favorite racing game at that time , wish they made a remake for the new gen consoles I would definitely buy it
That never would happen, the game was a commercial failure and the developers went bankrupt in 2009.
The most underrated game ever
aaah the mid-2000s, better times
I miss it. Very true better times for sure.
Ah memories. Who remembers going into the garage, going to the car you want that you haven’t unlocked, unplugging and then plugging the controller back to get the car without buying it 😂
Suddenty i not because i had pc version
Lmao remember when you could get any car by unplugging and re plugging your controller?? Good times
when you get in the game just start the new player and change the name to “player?” When you get into the game you will see you have a lot of money and a lot of cars
SOOOOO much NOSTALGIA man ... im kinda sad that i had to grow up 😔😔😔
Just like midnight club love it
エンジEngi Yes just like Midnight Club or Need for Speed
Get this, alternative for MC:LA if you're a pure PC gamer.
@@jackbollingmoore7554 Let's compare it as mix especially burnout
Elias McHarris or Emulate it, I think PS3 emulators have really improved over the years, not too sure about that
the sense of speed is pretty good
I've been looking for this game
Thank god i found it now
This brings back so many memories...
11:45 That's some driving skill, officer
😂😂😂
The only racing game that gives a crap about speed
That wreck at 10 minutes was absolutely beautiful but also brutal 🤣
San Francisco Rush And the rush 2049 on the N64 where my favourite. Mainly because of the stunt park stunt modes.
Underrated race game. Good one
Aahh The memory's just flood back.. I remembered crashing a lot on that game but man...idky but I really wanna see this game again but for XB1, PC and PS4 for everyone
I used to play this game when I was 5 and 6 years old. I wish that this game has a sequel
Seriously, You would be very hurt after that. 10:01
Everyone involved in that would be dead
I don't understand how these games looked better than GTA San Andreas makes you think rockstar games didn't push the hardware to the limit
But they did?
Think about how much more space GTA has devoted to a disc. If you sacrifice content for graphical performance your game may look better, but then you have a game with far less depth. Not to mention this is running on an emulator which will upscale the graphics.
Kevin Foster not to mention all the dialogue, radio station audio tracks, missions, side jobs, vehicles, collectibles, and weather
I like the realistic speed on this and when u crash the damage🤔👏🍻on the car
I just love how they put life on every characters .
loved playing this on PSP. so many memories
Didn't you guys hate that kinda AI system games had and still kinda do. Like the AI that's just faster than you no matter how fast you are?

That's how games were back then, also NFSUG2 was like this in the drag races
Yeah its called "RUBBER BANDING". Mario kart 64 was where this bullshit rubberbanding first started (as far as i know).
Play it on easy mode it's a lot better than playing on normal mode
When I was a kid, I always thought the crashing on this game was doppeee! Hahah burnout stats! Lol
I didn't know GTA V came out on PS2.
Man back then I remember seeing the slow motion crashes and was just amazed at how the graphics looked
this game looked a lot better in my mind
Guys, the game looks worse in the video than in real life. This is due to the emulator psx2 not being able to translate the code fully. It DID look better than you remember.
What? This game looks fine. There's nothing wrong with it. Even for its generation.
100 mph makes it look like you’re doing 200
This game was sick with twista tunes 😀
Nice gameplay dude.
Thanks dude.
I used to play this game for hours as kid. The car crashes was awesome!

As the car started running I laughed hard here. It doesn't have Torque
12:00 Yea what he said.
The character *aside from the arms* actually look really good
I loved this game and the awesome crashes
2024 ? Because we randomly thought of this but couldn’t think of the name
i still have this game and my old ps2 it’s at my aunts house when ever i stay the night when ever i go to my aunts i get on the ps2 right away i wish they made this for the PS4 😎
I remember playing this game on pc at like 10fps. It was badly optimized and required a beast pc at that time.
This is why I'm glad I got an alarm system in my house specially when I go on vacation I was thinking all that money tricks had in this video game he would have had some type of bodyguards or an alarm system watching his place and his cars while he was gone

Feels like need for speed
Yeah that style kinda took over. I can see why they didn't want it like the old Rush games though.
midnight club II had LA so they still that’s what their saying and the game multiple locations LA London and Tokyo
I remember the stunt driving in this game drove me crazy it was too hard.

Pretty good looking game, looks like poor edition of midnight club L.A for PS3.

Looks better than Fast and Furious
