San Francisco Rush/YMMV

Best Level Ever: Stunt mode, as well as Pipe in Rush 2
Contested Sequel: Rush on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox was seen as a step down because it focused more on reality than insane stunts. Reviews were mixed.
Crowning Music of Awesome: All the tracks in Rush 2049 especially the arcade and Dreamcast versions, too bad on the N64 version you have to an expansion pack to hear music in races, shame *runs to get an expansion pack*.
- And the N64 2049's music mostly sucks anyway.
- "Headthumpin'" "Amiga-ish", "Doin' Time", and "High Roll" from Rush 2, and "The Rock" from the arcade Updated Rerelease of the first game.
- Also, "What's Your Name?", the music that plays in the first game when entering your name on the high scores list.
Ear Worm: "Rave Rush" and "What's Your Name?", two tracks from the original game.
Memetic Mutation: Reality is tearing itself asunder...And I must race! ...Unfortunately thanks to this video people think this game actually is this glitchy.
Porting Disaster: The notoriously bad PSX version of the first game. To elaborate: Really long load times (as much as 30-45 seconds between races), low framerates, ugly textures, only four tracks instead of six from the arcade and N64, questionable physics changes, and completely replaced music.
- Rush: The Rock suffered from this twice. The version included in Midway Arcade Treasures 3 has mostly every sound replaced with something more annoying, including the soundtrack. There was also a native PC version (which you'll really have to look around for), but it has very awkward controls and its draw distance is screwy to the point that it displays both high and low LOD models for certain track props. That, and your opponents are always similar. The worst part is that these two ports are the only non-arcade versions of the game.
