Finally, there’s an obstacle course, dubbed The Gauntlet, which is a brutal run that will require an almost god-like mastery of RUSH 2049’s controls and systems.
Elsewhere you have full-blown Battle mode for those who fancy a bit of Vigilante 8/Twisted Metal action, and a Practice Mode, which lets you explore the tracks at your leisure. Brilliant fun, all told, and I’ll get to it in a bit. Much more interesting is the Stunt Mode, available right from the start. If you’re going to play RUSH 2049, and choose to only tackle the races, then you’re doing it wrong. The main championship mode is fun, but mostly it’s just a means to an end – you’ll have to play it in order to unlock certain cars, tracks modes and performance upgrades. As an arcade racer, yeah, it featured races, but they were always the least interesting part of the game. Back in 2000, there really wasn’t anything quite like Rush 2049. While the game also appeared on the Nintendo 64 (and PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, Arcade etc…), I can’t help but associate the game with the Dreamcast. Out of all the Dreamcast titles that I could possibly play, the one I seem to crave the most is San Francisco Rush 2049 – it truly stands out as one of the crown jewels on the Dreamcast. Dreamcast (Arcade/N64/PC/PS2/GC/Xbox/GBC) …and I’m starting with my absolute favourite… Games with a special something, that despite having beaten 10 times over, I can’t help but revisit multiple times a year…
This will be a regular thing – a series in which I look at games that are my gaming equivalent of comfort-food.
Instead, I’ve got a handful of different games that I know like the back of my hand, that I can either blow-over in a day, or delete the save file and comfortably start over at any time.
So when it comes down to games I play for the sake of playing games, yeah, you definitely won’t see me running to a multi-player FPS, or jumping into a Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy game to while away the hours. With the odd exception or two, I can never find it within myself to take the stories they have to tell seriously, and my eyes roll at every bit of exposition-heavy dialogue. So what about JRPGs? Generally, they don’t do it for me either, although I really wish they did. I put this squarely down to the fact that, barring the occasional couch co-op session, I don’t have a competitive bone in my body. I’ve never been one for multi-player gaming.
