San Francisco Rush Extreme Racing

Ugly but fun
Date played: July 21st
Platform: Nintendo 64
Time played: 10 minutes
Session fun rating: 7/10

Urgh.... this game is uglier than I remember.  I did play Rush on Dreamcast not too long ago and it's surprising how much worse this version looks.  It's truly awful, it looks worse than even the ugliest 3D DS games.  Thankfully, it's still a lot of fun.  I played through a couple of races, crashed a lot and placed 7th and 5th.

This would be a great series to revive today.  Burnout needs some competition and nothing really has had the amazing shortcuts and insane jumps of the Rush series.  It would be even better online!
