L.A. Rush announced

Midway today announced development on L.A. Rush, a new racing game in the classic Midway Rush series. The game will be released for the Xbox and PlayStation 2 in spring 2005.

This time, the action will be set in sprawling Los Angeles as opposed to hilly San Francisco, and players will be able to explore the city in open-ended style. The game will include more than 50 licensed and concept vehicles that will become involved in shortcut-laden street races and nonracing driving missions. Rides magazine and customizing shop West Coast Customs will join the Midway team to provide input on the game's style.
