Whip Rush review. Classic Game Room reviews WHIP RUSH for Sega Genesis from 1990 by Renovation Products! Whip Rush is a cool 2D horizontally scrolling shoot 'em up, or SHMUP, where you pilot the space ship Whip Rush against Voltegian alien scumbags trying to attack Earth because they are stupid! Voltegia will be ours!! Whip Rush has predictable early '90s SHMUP style gameplay with rotating gun pods and weapon power ups like R-Type meets Gradius. CGR Whip Rush video review features Whip Rush Sega Genesis gameplay recorded from the 16 bit Sega Genesis (aka Sega Mega Drive)
