As these levels progress, the opponents ride faster and fight harder, and the tracks are longer and more dangerous. The player competes in illegal road races and must finish in either 3rd or 4th place (game specific) and up in every race of a 'level' in order to proceed to the next. The Mega Drive trilogy wound up in EA Replay.īasic gameplay is similar to Sega's Hang-On. Six different games were released from 1991 to 1999, and an alternate version of one game was developed for the Game Boy Advance.
The game's title is based on the slang term for the severe friction burns that can occur in a motorcycle fall where skin comes into contact with the ground at high speed.
The series started on the Mega Drive and made its way to various other systems over the years. Road Rash is the name of a motorcycle-racing video game series by Electronic Arts in which the player participates in violent, illegal street races. This game can be played also in a version for SMS. The graphics are mediocre, but your main attention should stick to the action and on the road.The following emulators are available for this game: Remember that they will do the same to you, if you assault them. However, you can choose your option when it comes to victory, by either trying to get the top place or attempting to rush the drivers. While you drive your motorcycle, you can attack your near opponents with your weapon, trying to bring them to the ground. The entertaining aspect stays in the unconventional nature of the racing. But beware, they are dangerous, alright! You will encounter obstacles on your way, such as the dense traffic, the many people that walk in the city, the cops, that can arrest you if you stop near them. There are only 5 tracks: The City, The Peninsula, Pacific Highway, Sierra Nevada, and Napa Valley. With the earned cash you can buy various upgrades and repair the caused damage, for a great progress in the game. Firstly, before describing the gameplay, I will say this: Road Rash will give you one hell of a race! It is brutal, fast and terribly fun!

Road Rash is a 1994 motorcycle racing game published by Electronic Arts, which is a remacke to the original Road Rash. And have a go at Carmageddon 2 for a similarly badass racer, though this time with vehicles! Brutal, fast and terribly fun Also, if you love the rock beats of the 90s it's got that attitude that just can't be beaten, that punk ass attitude that games no longer can sport these days. So play it, it's the kind of game that is well suited for those that love racers that happen on the open road as well as on circuits. No, it won't disappoint you if you can endure small resolutions and rather washed up textures, but, like I said, even for 94 it could have been way better. Graphically and in terms of controls the game is better than average, maybe quite a bit better than average, but it sure could have aged better. Road Rash is a motorcycle racer from Electronic Arts, produced in 1994, before rock music was no longer cool or appealing! Yes, if you want to try out a game that features some cool Alice in Chains songs or some tunes from Chris Cornell, go ahead, this game packs that up, offering a really well put together package, one that will offer you a lot of satisfaction. Stimulating Motorcycle racer, well polished and kickass!
