Release date for RE4, Killer 7

[OB1]

No, they weren't. But BAR's shortcuts and lack of gravity are, I'd say, ripped straight out of Rush...

Oh man, that is such a laughable thing to say I'm not sure if you're joking or not. You seriously must not have played a racing game before 1998 if you honestly believe that. Ever played a little game by the name Destruction Derby before? It came out before Rush and featured (among other things), low gravity and big jumps throughout the race course. BAR's level of gravity more closely matches that than the more exaggerated Rush. Rush did not invent high-flying! And as for shortcuts, please don't tell me you think Rush invented shortcuts of any kind! Go back and play the early Mario Kart games, the NFS games, the Ridge Racer games, the Jet Moto games, the V-Rally games, and about a hundred other racing games that came before shitty Rush!

2 and 2049 are meant to be customized so everyone can get it a way that they like it... I've only played 1 in the arcade (and only a couple of times) so I can't comment much about that one.

The controls are still terribly floaty and the car physics aren't even unreallstic good.

That hypothesis would only be valid if ETM had some HIGH scores, you know. I bet it didn't, so you are wrong.

i just checked. ETM got scores between 40% and 86% (and just two sites scored it an 80 or above), with averages (for the four platforms) between 66% and 71%. Not exactly like Rush scoring between 60 and 99, with lots of scores high but also many in the middle. Not even close. Actually it proves my point! Rush is a love or hate game. The poor or mediocre reviews reflect people like you -- the ones who don't get it.

Metroid Prime? That's just a great game. "Safe"? Hmm, probably not, it was not your typical FPS or action/adventure... but it was just so great in every way that that didn't matter.

Exactly, Enter the Matrix is also a love/hate thing and we all know how terrible it is. Like Rush.
