Quote:I said that DD had big jumps, not shortcuts. Rush stole DD's low gravity.
So now DD is the first game with low gravity?

I mostly remember the DD demo for being really hard. ... but hey it was 1996 and I was a lot younger... :)
Quote:Mario Kart has lots of shortcuts! You're crazy, boy! And NFS has plenty of shortcuts, especially the pre-Hot Pursuit ones.
If "plenty" means "you'd be lucky if a track has more than one" then I agree with you about NFS.
NFS I: no shortcuts
NFS 2: from the two demo tracks a couple but not many
NFS 3: a few
NFSHS: again a few but not many.
I've played these games. They just do not have many shortcuts. They also don't have open areas or exploration. Rush has all of those in spades.
Mario Kart does have a few shortcuts but I'd defintely say Rush has more.
Quote:Speed Devils isn't very good. Nice tracks, but terrible car handling. The DC online game was addictive but soon got old because of the gameplay.
The handling works for the game and is not "terrible". And it's just plain more fun than NFS...
Quote:ETM got plenty of good reviews.
You have one bizarre definition of "good"!
How about A's? Rush got some. Including IGN.
ETM got reviews that said how mediocre it was on the whole and a coorespondingly low average. Rush got reviews from mediocre to quite good. Remember, IGN gave Rush 2049 a 9.0 for N64 and Dreamcast...
Quote:I didn't realize that your point was that Rush sucks.
You know what I meant. My point that Rush is a Love/Hate game, and you're clearly on the hate side. You don't get it, so you don't see why anyone else could... well it isn't a bad game by everyone's standards! A lot of people love Rush! So as I said it's a Love/Hate game. Your not understanding that it is one is just more proof that I'm right that it is! With your typical attitude you think 'i don't like it so how could anyone'. Well it's obvious that a lot of people do so trying to say that it is objectively bad is false. So the only conclusion? You have a typical 'if I don't like it no one could' attitude, but it's not just you because of things like IGN... it's a love or hate game. Can you understand that?
Quote:You are so incredibly wrong that you just tipped my "crazy wrong ABF" scale! Rush did absolutely nothing original, it just stole stuff from a bunch of different games. BAR is like NFS with a little bit of Destruction Derby and zero Rush.
Keep telling yourself that, maybe it'll help you sleep at night to "know" that your great BAR wasn't contaminated by any evil ideas from bad old Rush over there...
