Rush the Rock...What the?

Got a chance to play San Francisco Rush, the Rock in an arcade (2
player) and I wasn't impressed.  Maybe I was missing something but the
steering wheel force feedback seemed random, the graphics were so
unimpressive I was shocked.  I had to double-check whether I was playing
some cheapo clone.

I guess I'll stick to networked PCs...

This game is fun for a quick thrill I think, but I do agree that the force
feedback is a bit confusing at times.  The graphics are fine I think, but in
the end, the game seems more about flying through the air, and not driving.

The game has more fun factor that might take a while to get into.

I rented it Rush on my N64 and hated it ! I thought the graphics sucked, the
control sucked.. and the game was boring... then something happened , I
don't know what... I couldn't put the game down... I got used to the
control, found myself searching every inch on the track looking for jumps
and shortcuts... now its one of the most entertaining games I have played to
date..  I had read reviews from NGO and others touting it as one of the best
racers (sans sims) ever made and was scratching my head when I first popped
it in... but after spending some time with it, I know what they mean.
