L.A. Rush is the fourth installment in the Rush series of video games. It was released in North America for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox consoles on October 10, 2005 and on October 21 in Europe. The PC version was released on November 4 in Europe. PlayStation Portable version was released on October 30, 2006 named Rush. Many details were revealed at E3 in May 2005. The game is free-roaming with races similar to those in Need for Speed: Underground 2. The GPS map can have a point assigned to a certain location and then the point shows up on the radar during gameplay. The game features voice talent from Orlando Jones, Bill Bellamy, and Twista. In addition to the console versions and PC version it was to be available on Gizmondo.
You play as a well-known street racer in the L.A. underground scene named Trikz who has a mansion and car collection to back up his sizable reputation. Trikz's lavish lifestyle is put to the test, however, when a local race promoter named Lidell is set to put on a major series of races. Lidell is not particularly fond of Trikz and tries to tip the scales against him by using his connections to rob Trikz of all his rides whilst he was on vacation. It was up to Trikz to reacquire them through street racing and get payback on Lidell.
PlayStation Portable port was released on October 30, 2006 named Rush. The game has all-new missions and two all-new modes. Other new features include 50 new vehicles (with at least 36 of them being licensed), 30 new cruise missions (playable with another player using the PSP's Wi-Fi), upgrades for cars (available from multiple top-line manufacturers and West Coast Customs) and a new hip-hop and rock soundtrack.
