Quote:Hmm... Rush kind of is in between a F-Zero and a GT, you're right... but I think the handling is good. I like Rush 2049 on Extreme handling... I've gotten very used to it and think that it works very well. It requires some skill in handling while still being a very arcadish system... and yes, sometimes trying to be in the middle can mean that you're good at nothing, but I don't think Midway racing physics goes down that road. They do it right.
You can be good at the game, and I managed to beat most of the cups in the higher difficulty settings, but there was just something nonsensical and arbitrary about the handling and physics of the cars. Their were rules, certainly, but weird ones that didn't seem to fit into any category. When I think of arcade-ish racers with perfect arcade handling and physics, I think of Sega Rally and Mario Kart.
