Regional Differences

To do: Look for any other changes. This is just to start.

The Japanese version received some changes in addition to dubbing the voiceovers in the animated FMVs. Curiously, the English text in the Car Info screens was not translated into Japanese.

• The opening "driving" FMV that leads to the title screen was removed, perhaps due to the name change.

Revisional Differences

The emulated 2025 re-release on PS4 and PS5 made a few graphic changes due to legal reasons.

Red Cross

PS1	PS4/PS5

Health pickups have had their icon changed from a Red Cross symbol to a heart due to the symbol being owned by the Red Cross organization.

The Hollywood sign in Los Angeles - Quake Zone Rumble was changed to a Los Angeles sign, due to Hollywood and its sign being trademarked by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.
