The new "wing" feature allows you to fly through the streets of San Francisco with added control along with the ability to create new stunts and tricks.

A fast and beautiful arcade racer that's thin on the single-player experience but thick with multiplayer fun.

You're going to have to stick with the game for a while if you hope to unlock everything it has to offer, but I sincerely doubt that, that will be a problem as each mode is as fun and engaging as it is unique.

Actually outshines its arcade brother in terms of gameplay, graphics and last ability.

Easily the best installment yet with slick and fast visuals, an awsome multiplayer mode and an enormous amount of modes, tracks and secrets to explore.

A quirky save system and confusing front end keep it from greatness, but still a fantastic game!

Rush offers a comprehensive package and, whilst it is not uncommon to find games which offer such variety, it is rare to find a gem of a game like San Francisco Rush 2049 where it not only has the width, but the depth too.

Friends are the key to the fun factor of San Francisco Rush 2049, so don't expect much if you play it alone.

Core Magazine
Much more than a straight forward port of the decent arcade driving game, Rush 2049 on the home consoles packs in vehicular combat and insane stunt driving for a pleasing combination of addictive gameplay formulas.
