Most-played Rush games
Rush 2: Extreme Racing USA
Nintendo 64Racing
Rush 2: Extreme Racing USA is an arcade racing game developed by Atari Games and published by Midway Games for the Nintendo 64. It presents exaggerated versions of American locations, combining high-speed competition with large jumps, shortcuts, and stunt opportunities. The handling is intentionally accessible rather than simulation-focused, while the courses reward learning their routes and maintaining momentum. In addition to standard races, the game includes stunt-oriented events and a Crash mode built around causing spectacular vehicle damage. Rush 2 was generally well received for its speed, course design, and multiplayer appeal, although its arcade physics and demanding tracks were less suited to players seeking realistic driving.
San Francisco Rush: Extreme Racing
Nintendo 64Racing
San Francisco Rush: Extreme Racing is an arcade racing game developed by Atari Games and published by Midway Games for the Nintendo 64. It recreates steep, twisting San Francisco streets as compact courses filled with jumps, shortcuts, traffic hazards, and dramatic elevation changes. The game emphasizes speed, aggressive cornering, and learning each route rather than realistic motorsport simulation. Players can race alone, compete against computer drivers, or challenge another player in split-screen multiplayer. Its energetic handling and unusual track design made it a notable early Nintendo 64 racer, and contemporary reception generally praised its sense of speed and multiplayer excitement while noting its demanding controls and occasional roughness.

| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
