5 out of 5 stars greatest game EVER!!!   March 29, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

i got this game a couple years ago and played it a lot.its got VERY GOOD music like 'APM' and other rock music.its also got the coolest cars ever made and some not made.ive gotton very far on this game,and never had any complaints.it gets a little challenging at some places,but gets easier.i think its the best game EVER made on X-BOX.its also on PSP,but it is called 'RUSH'.its basically the same thing,but has minor differences.i very reccomend this game for X-Box lovers and Los Angeles lovers.Its pretty cheap at most places so i would buy it today.thank you for reading this.From,Eli.


2 out of 5 stars Kind of a dissapointment   March 2, 2007
I'm a huge fan of the Rush series dating back to San Francisco Rush for N64 to Rush 2049 for the Dreamcast. When I heard about Midway making a new game in the series last year, I was a little excited. Its been a while since there was a Rush game. I then forgot about it while playing my 360. The other day I was in EBgames, and I saw it on the shelf for $9.99. I figure since I'm buying other some other xbox games, I'll give this one a shot. As soon as I started playing it, I knew that midway sold out. The whole game is basically a NFS Underground or a Midnight Club SR clone, but not nearly as good . The cars handle very slowly and it just doesn't have that fun feeling that the other rush games had. The graphics are subpar at best. I'm a little spoiled by Xbox 360 graphics, but either way this game could have looked better seeing how it was on Xbox. It was probably a port of the PS2 game or something. Everything is blocky and undetailed. I didn't play too far into it because I lost interest after driving around the town a bit. Overall, if you're looking for a true Rush game, go and buy the Midway Arcade Treasures 3 for xbox/ps2 and get the 2049 game and avoid this one. I'd only say get this game if you're really into the Street Racing games.


2 out of 5 stars Not too great   July 17, 2006
I had high hopes for this game but they were ill-placed. The graphics are reallly good but that's about it. The gameplay is almost boring. It's not really exciting either to play. The cutscenes are pretty good though, but that's it. It was pretty much a waste of money. Save your money and get NFSU or something. I do not recommend LA Rush.


1 out of 5 stars Don't Buy Anything That Has Skinny Puppy In The Soundtrack   December 4, 2005
 3 out of 20 found this review helpful

The soundtrack to this game contains Skinny Puppy. This band had a stage show in 2004 where they did a mock assassination of the president and did a mock beheading with people wearing terrorist suits. After they do the beheading they take off their masks and reveal themselves as Bush and Cheney. Please send a message to these videogame companies that you will not buy a product that promotes a band that takes part in this type of behavior.


3 out of 5 stars pretty good...but....   November 21, 2005

First of all your in this huge world. You start out with bad cars and you keep getting bad cars for awile. Which is why the game stinked so bad. Too many crappy cars hardly any sweet ones. You find yourself unlocking truck after truck and crappy cars after car. You cant even change the color of the car. You cant customize it you can only take it to west coast customs and they will "pimp" it. Thats wear they messed up, Instead of paying a fee for them to pimp it you should be able to enter with lots of choices for items to put onto your car. Each item is priced and you buy one item at a time. Being able to customize your pant job would have been cool too. Do not buy this game rent it. You will get very frustrated all the time. It takes the crashing idea from burnout and makes it very frustrating. When your in races you find yourself almost constantly running into cars because of so much traffic.Do not buy this game at any cost. Rent it!! Trust me! They also have stunt events scattered accross the map to unlock things like cars. They can also be very very frustrating.
