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". [http://www.gamesradar.com/reviews/default.asp?pagetypeid=2&articleid=37668&subsectionid=1605] However, the changed handling in the game was welcomed as it is similar to the handling in "Juiced" and "". L.A. Rush has also been criticised for not including every area of Los Angeles; for example, the San Fernando Valley was excluded. A criticism among fans is that the game is too realistic, completely opposite of the previous three Rush games.

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.
