L.A. Rush (also known as Rush 4) is the 4th 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. Many details were revealed at E3 in May 2005. The game is free-roaming with races similar to those in Need For Speed: Underground. 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[1].

[edit] Reception
Many reviewers have been critical of the game. One common criticism is that the option to customize the cars was poorly done; you can not modify them yourself, instead, the car is automatically done to whatever the West Coast Customs crew decides to do. GamesRadar says: "Roll your vehicle into the garage and they'll kit it out with what they feel like".[2] However, the changed handling in the game was welcomed as it is similar to the handling in Juiced and Need for Speed: Underground 2. L.A. Rush has also been criticised for not including every area of Los Angeles; for example, the San Fernando Valley was excluded.
The game features many licensed cars such as the Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V, the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, the Nissan Skyline GTR R34 and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV (among others). In total, up to 30 licensed cars are unlockable in the game.
