While Moscow Rush is indeed a racing game, there is no relation to the San Francisco Rush series here. Instead, it’s a story-driven street racing game set in a photorealistic Moscow available only for the PC.

There are many different ways to play the game and many different routes to take on your quest to pimp out your car, such as working for a gang or just racing other people. There will also be online play and nearly 20 different missions.

Moscow Rush will ship in the first quarter of 2005 in the US, so there’s still a lot of work for the developers to finish. There are currently no details available for the European release, but I’m sure they’ll be announced soon. Here are some very early development screenshots.
