System Rush (N-Gage)

System Rush is a futuristic racing game set in an amazing 3D world of virtual race tracks, competing hackers, and high security networks. Speed your way through the system to infiltrate the security levels one by one and take back what is rightfully yours. You are a hacker in danger of being framed for global cyber crime, thanks to some rival ”black hat” hackers working for an evil multinational corporation. They have stolen the application you created to use it for criminal purposes. To clear your name and stop the villains you have to step up, step on it and take back the network! You’ll have to race through fifty action packed races on virtual tracks located in corporate networks around the world. Beat the hacker gangs, bosses and network defences, recapture the code, and destroy the corrupt multinational syndicate. After beating a few track bosses you can take your skills and upgraded rides to the Arena, where you can compete in various online race modes, view player profiles and unlock limited edition vehicles. You can also go head to head with a friend over Bluetooth. [Nokia]

Critic Reviews

90 Gamer's Hell
The gameplay itself is very fulfilling and will most certainly keep players entertained for quite some time. The huge amount of races and game modes are worth the purchase alone.
82 IGN
System Rush manages to engage the player with not only a healthy amount of tracks and challenges, but also solid controls and a good sense of speed.
80 Modojo
System Rush may feel like an "F-Zero" clone, but damnit, it's a good one.
75 IC-Games
Essentially the best part of this game was taking part in blue-tooth multiplayer racing and trying to earn the extra ships rather than the single player experience, but both game modes do offer enough to keep you playing for some time to come.
70 AceGamez
The graphics are aesthetically pleasing, even though it plagiarises such obvious sources and while the special effects are run of the mill it can get quite pulse pounding and tense, not least due to the driving beats.
