Development Cancelled ports In an advertisement for sweepstakes for San Francisco Rush, it was announced that the second prize winners would receive the N64 or PlayStation version of Rush 2. In a certain commercial, a Windows 95 port was touted, but the game was only released on N64. Gameplay The game is notable for the high level of detail in the recreations of the various cities and states used, and for its fast arcade-style physics. The game also features a two-player mode and rumble pack support. Hidden shortcuts and jumps add to the replay value of the game. Mountain Dew soda cans appear in the game and can be collected to unlock content. Reception The game received favorable reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. IGN called the game "a bit on the cheesy side" despite criticism with the presentation and stated that it had "generic menus and the same overall front-end" as San Francisco Rush: Extreme Racing. Next Generation called it "a worthy successor to the original".
