Rush 2049 - Civic (track 3) - Time Trial Demo

Ghost race through Track 3 - Civic in the home version of San Francisco Rush 2049 (Dreamcast). In "Ghost Race", all shortcuts are automatically opened so there's no switches. And obstacles not inherently part of the road are removed (such as the big ass fans).

Loved this track in the arcade, but not so much this home version. The volcano shortcut is way too good and too easy to execute.

In the arcade it was best to go around for the 1st and 2nd laps, then take the volcano on the last lap only. Going around was much more fun using certain techniques that were essentially made obsolete in the home versions. Check out the arcade version here:

Anyway, this is not my best time. (The 2nd lap kind of sucked.) It's just a demonstration of the shortcuts and general lines taken to achieve a fast time (for the DC/N64 versions). My actual best times are shown at the end.

can you unlock different cars like in the arcade version? i remember id always use this black muscle car

[ChrisH2049]

Yeah, but it works differently.

The (original) arcade version only had 1 extra car (the muscle car) that was unlocked my mileage, and more miles just added more paint jobs for that car. In the home versions, there are a lot more extra cars, and you unlock them by collecting coins.

also is "rush 2049" and "San Francisco rush 2049" the same game?

[ChrisH2049]

Yes.

the dreamcast and ps2 version slightly harder because at 1.05 that stretch has windmills to avoid and also at 1.40 u get trains running past there aswell.

[ChrisH2049]

What you're describing is the normal "Single Race" and "Circuit" modes. While this is the time trial mode, or "Ghost Race" as the game calls it. It's in all versions of the game. It's different from those other modes. As I wrote up in the description:

"In "Ghost Race", all shortcuts are automatically opened so there are no switches, and obstacles not inherently part of the road are removed (such as the big ass fans)."

[...and windmills and trains.]

You also can't use the wings...

Wow! That was really impressive. I played the hell out of this track on a dreamcast demo disc.

They'll never make another game again where you can use a volcano as a shortcut. :(
