The thing I liked about Rush is the fact that the cars take damage. When you slam into a wall, your hood crumples, the side of the car bends out of shape, and you just might blow up. Compare that to the licensed cars in Grand Turismo, for example. "Realistic racer," it claims, but you can slam into a wall, bounce off of it, maybe even flip the car over, but the car's in pristine condition.
My friend and I used to play this game all night eating junk food. Putting in the codes to resurrect in place, turn cones into mines and unlimited time to just ramp and explode to our hearts desires. We never got tired of looking for keys and crashing. Those were the days. Thanks for the upload and great review.
Oh man this takes me back. This is one of my most favorite games from the early N64 days. One weird thing I always liked was that when you went in first person mode, it would put the camera offset and you could see the hood. As a little kid who liked detail, that blew my mind since most games you couldn't see the hood, and when you did, you saw it in the center.
Cool to revisit the shortcuts! I've been replaying SF Rush & Rush 2 thousands of times, always choosing the Hotrod. Many of my longtime favorite games are on N64... I don't play much these times, I still have my old 1998's N64 for my favorite ones like Aki wrestling-FPS-Zeldas-Mario 64-puzzles-Rare games
i LOVED this game. I used to spend hours at that hill doing stunts. Practice mode was the best I would find alot of shortcuts and keys.. I MISS THE 90s GAMES
I loved this on the N64 back in the day, half the fun was exploring short cuts and secrets, sadly missing form modern games. I wasn't so much a lover of 2049 tho...
Thanks! I plan on posting every two weeks to a month at this point, as a minimum. Which beats the year I just went without uploading anything, I think.
This game had me and my buds addicted for a long time. We used to play it together a lot and sometimes I'd be a jerk and go all 'demolition derby' or we'd have a race to see who could respawn to the finish line the fastest xD
You totally made my day with this. I remember when I was a little kid and FINALLY got my mum to race me, I was flying off rooftops and she was trying to stick to the speed limit...haha, good times! xD
Bizarrely not no, for some reason it totally passed me by. No idea as well as I loved the original. Maybe I'd moved on to the Dreamcast by the time it was released. I played Rush: The Rock on Midway Arcade Treasures on Xbox, quite like that. But the recent LA Rush was frickin' terrible, killed the series.
if you go off the right side of the hill at 3:28, down the hill a ways is a tunnel. you can se it, and it goes to this cool underground place it has loops and stuff its pretty bad
San Francisco Rush is rough, but many gamers have fond memories of unlocking the game's many secret areas and items. Check out the sequel (Rush 2: Extreme Racing USA) for a far better-realized racing experience.
@AltimaNEO There is a cheat that removes the time limit and doesn't reset you when you stop for a while. There is also a cheat to reset in place if you crash
man, this game was so fun. loved finding all the strange secrets and shortcuts. also, it had some pretty awful music which actually kind of added to its charm. i loved rush 2049 as well.
your reviews are as good as anyone you care to mention, even better than a lot of the more popular guys. you dont hyperbolize the shit out of the game HVGN style, and you actually have a command of language and communication unlike KWing. im also glad to see you dropped the scoring system. numerical ratings need to be on the way out of mainstream reviews as well. i do miss the pros and cons though :(
Hahaha that is hilarious! My bro and i used to play this hours on end. I totally forgot about the buses. Trying to dodge them and end up slamming right into them! God so nostalgic!
lol that i recon i woulda had a good deal of fun with back in the day (if i had it) but i didnt, so, yer... i had sm64, DKR, 2 pokemon games (not a fan of) (stadium and snap) WCW world tour, i did have OOT but my cousin broke my copy so i couldnt save... so, the amount of time i spent on it was minimal...
Did you ever play Rush 2: Extreme Racing USA? That game went decidedly more towards the simulation end of the spectrum, and the tracks seemed kind of dull. You can drift though, so some people might prefer it anyway. I actually thought 2049 was a return to form. Though the shortcuts were more complicated and less airborne, I recall, which sounds bad. To me it just felt more like the original.
@peacenlove637 OMG i did the same thing, i especially loved the buses so i could pretend i left someone there, or just follow em'. shortcuts were the funnest EVER.
fianlly someone who agrees with me that games now a days are soo real its gay and turns me down on them i actually just finished playin this after tryin forza motorsport 3 demo on xbox live marketplace its fun to go back to the days of no realisim they should totally make a san francisco rush 2 with better graphics but same gameplay

Metoo!!!
That hill carries so much nostalgia. Great review. So many memories.
Best racing game on the n64 :)
loved this game back in the day!
What a great commentary
Oh jesus I forgot this video was public. Glad somebody liked it though.
This game was awesome back in the day. Me and my friend used to play this for HOURS
Oh god, I remember me and my friend playing this into the wee hours of the night. SOO much fun to be had from it.
this guy should do reviews for all games!

Those explosions were awesome in 97
nice Radiohead touch at the end.
i agree with this man, i played this A LOT with a friend back in the days and we loved it....maybe i must get it back to my collection.
Watch_Dogs uses this graphics engine.
Seems like it also uses the same physics engine... hmmmm.....
Lol
I remember this game, had a lot of fun with it. thanks for bringing back good memories!
this was a great game. your review really nailed what was fun about it. nice job.
This was my favorite game growing up for N64! Me and my 4 brothers played this game all day n night and had a blast.
Remember when I got this for Christmas, played it all the time! It was just too fun!
i LOVED this game. I used to spend hours at that hill doing stunts. Practice mode was the best I would find alot of shortcuts and keys.. I MISS THE 90s GAMES

Sounds sublime to me. Gotta get a copy of this!
i remember playing free roam TAG with my mates.... great fun
awesome review
This was my first racing game also. It was great.
This was my favorite racing game when I was 10. I remember enjoying messing around in the environments more than actually racing. Ha
you can over steer if you pick the more advanced cars.. ones labelled "ITS DANGEROUS" where "Beginner" had the least over steer
An excellent review friend! I love this game!!!!
PHYSICS
I don't know why, but that made me laugh really, really hard.
This was my first racing game too
Bizarrely not no, for some reason it totally passed me by. No idea as well as I loved the original. Maybe I'd moved on to the Dreamcast by the time it was released.

"It's DANGEROUS AHHHHHHHH" xDD
Course 6 reversed, no respawning = last car not wrecked wins. Fun game.
great review!
@S0up3rD0up3r I totally agree with you, this game would be amazing with xbox 360 or ps3 graphics!
I'd love to see the guys at Criterion (the ones who made Burnout Paradise) take a shot at making a next gen version of SF Rush.
@AltimaNEO There is a cheat that removes the time limit and doesn't reset you when you stop for a while. There is also a cheat to reset in place if you crash
This game was AMAZING.
I was SO disappointed when my N64 broke purely because I couldn't play this and Goldeneye.
this game is awesome theres a bunch of hidden areas with ramps and shit
man, this game was so fun. loved finding all the strange secrets and shortcuts. also, it had some pretty awful music which actually kind of added to its charm. i loved rush 2049 as well.
great game, i loved the exploration factor and the many shortcuts.............
CLASSIC!!!!!!!
"When you hit a ramp , you are a fucking airplane!" :D :D
God I miss this game, it brings me back to the days when I was a pothead and all my friends and I would do is smoke pot and play this game all day.
The only 21st century racing game that came close to the driving physics of of the Rush series was Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition...
your reviews are as good as anyone you care to mention, even better than a lot of the more popular guys. you dont hyperbolize the shit out of the game HVGN style, and you actually have a command of language and communication unlike KWing.

driving physics remind me of gta 5 online :D

"Pretty much a fuckin' airplane", lmao.
i used to spend endless hours on this game too lol
i remember this game from when i was a kid :D good times, great game! well, not by todays standards, but at the time it was amazing!
Hahaha that is hilarious! My bro and i used to play this hours on end. I totally forgot about the buses. Trying to dodge them and end up slamming right into them! God so nostalgic!
I love this game (': I use to play it when I was in Mexico :D good memories! Plus I couldn't find all the key -.

Did you ever play Rush 2: Extreme Racing USA? That game went decidedly more towards the simulation end of the spectrum, and the tracks seemed kind of dull. You can drift though, so some people might prefer it anyway.
I actually thought 2049 was a return to form. Though the shortcuts were more complicated and less airborne, I recall, which sounds bad. To me it just felt more like the original.
Why did they stop making this game
Best racing game ever!
@peacenlove637 OMG i did the same thing, i especially loved the buses so i could pretend i left someone there, or just follow em'. shortcuts were the funnest EVER.
