IвЂ™m not really one for live-action but if the series ever does return, I hope we get FMV scenes like these ones. I also canвЂ™t help but just smile when I watch them. I canвЂ™t help but think that the people who made and were in the scenes had fun making them. Hey, the intro scene shows some sweet motorcycle tricks and the winner ones show you celebrating your triumph (no pun intended) so itвЂ™s not all savagery. But the sound effects, visuals, subtle voice lines, and general 90вЂ™sness give them a comedy feel. It may sound quite, well, not very funny. These where the sort of things you would see in the videos. Or having another rider run over your riderвЂ™s wrist as he lays there next to his wrecked bike leaving him rolling in pain on the road. Scenes like having your bike shot with a shotgun by the police. That would play during various points, like getting busted or unlocking a new level. One of the best ways this is displayed is in the remake of the original, with its live-action FMV scenes. But because it didnвЂ™t take itself that seriously. I remember Road Rash being so fun not just for the extreme two-wheeled action. Aiming to put an end to your violent vehicular escapades. If that wasnвЂ™t enough, the long arm of the law would reach for you. The risk paired with the speed kept you glued to the race. Get hit too many times, hit a tree or collide with a car and you would find yourself being flung into another postcode. The open nature of motorcycles lent themselves to the physical up close and personal combat cars couldnвЂ™t deliver. Motorcycles where what you would find yourself using in these races. Instead a heaping of punches, whacks and bashes would lead you to victory. Road Rash presented an arcade version of racing where a clean smooth approach wasnвЂ™t the way to win. Though some would say 2003, as that year a GameBoy Advance port of JailBreak was released. It hasnвЂ™t seen a release since Road Rash: JailBreak in 2000. However, the response to this game was fairly average whereas older games received positive receptions.Д¬urrently, the Road Rash franchise lays dormant with publisher EA. Road Rash would also make the leap to 3D with Road Rash 3D.

Various Ports and sequels would follow including my personal favourite, a remake of the original Road Rash using the same name which released on the 3DO, PlayStation 1, Sega CD/Mega-CD Saturn and PC (the PS1 version was the version I played). The Road Rash series started in 1991 with the release of вЂRoad RashвЂ™ on the MEGA DRIVE/GENESIS. And IвЂ™m pretty sure IвЂ™m not the only one who would like to see it return. Because it was great fun when it was around (for the most part that is). ItвЂ™s a game series that isnвЂ™t really around anymore and thatвЂ™s a shame. Not many games bring the adrenaline, violence, and quirkiness Road Rash brought to the table. Until you slam head-on into oncoming traffic or are busted by the cops. Because it features baseball bats and chains which you can smack over competitors heads at breakneck speeds while hanging on for dear life in the saddle of a superbike. A recent attempt at reviving (ripping-off) this concept was made with disastrous results so don't expect this to be a brand that will ever make a true comeback.In a world where racing games usually involve taking a vehicle around a track smoothly with precision or using power-ups to better your opponents, one game series stands out. If you insist on playing through this then the Win '95 version is a tiny bit superior, the blocky graphics really begin to grate after a while though, and the bike engine does make a horrible din. The PS version is basically an exact port of the PC game but with stiffer menus and slower loads. Filled with lots of mid-90s 'tude, funny cut scenes, retro grunge music that has dated surprisingly well, bizarre puppet/digital art of eccentric characters, a pleasing mix of racing and combat, and a hedonistic sense of freedom that I normally associate with Outrun I am easily reminded of why I played the game to death back in the day, using the arrow keys and space bar on my keyboard. Even the series has aged better than this, and now I prefer to play those games to this then-remake. Still as playable as ever, Road Rash really does suffer when it comes to the visuals. How far we've come! Technology has spoiled us. Review updated on June 5th 2018 I remember playing this back in 1997 and being blown-away by the graphics.
