You play as a well-known street racer in the L.A. underground scene named Trikz who has a mansion and car collection to back up his sizable reputation. Trikz's lavish lifestyle is put to the test, however, when a local race promoter named Lidell is set to put on a major series of races. Lidell is not particularly fond of Trikz and tries to tip the scales against him by using his connections to rob Trikz of all his rides whilst he was on vacation. It was up to Trikz to reacquire them through street racing and get payback on Lidell.

The "stunt arena" mode lets the player launch their car off ramps and fly through the air and performing different tricks. In order to keep up with points, the player must land their car safely on all four wheels. This feature was missing in L.A. Rush, but was in all other home Rush games. You also can unlock new cars and customize them in West Coast Customs.
Reacquire Missions: Race to earn respect, street credits, and clues to the whereabouts of your cars.
Retribution Missions: Steal your enemies' prized rides and then-chop them for revenge and extra cash.

Many reviewers have been critical of the game. One common criticism is that the option to customize the cars was poorly realised; players cannot modify them themselves, instead, the car is automatically upgraded by the West Coast Customs crew. GamesRadar says: "Roll your vehicle into the garage and they'll kit it out with what they feel like".
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 in comparison to the earlier Rush games which featured exaggerated fantasy locations and game physics.
Not all reaction was negative. The realistic handling in the game was welcomed by some as being comparable to the handling in Juiced and Need for Speed: Underground 2.
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, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII, Nissan 350z, Muscle cars, which include the Chevrolet Camaro (as seen on the cover), and SUVs such as the Cadillac Escalade and the Dodge Ram (among other vehicles). Up to 30 licensed cars are unlockable in the game. It also contained 20 Midway concept cars. In total, 50 vehicles.
