description
Road Rash was particularly distinguished by the ability to have fights during the race. On the one hand, you can kick your competitors off the track, and on the other hand, you can let them fall off the motorcycle with fist blows, clubs and chains. Police motorcycles traveling with them can ensure that the race is ended for the player when he is not sitting on the motorcycle.
There are five routes that can be traveled with 15 different motorcycles, four of which are nitro-injected. With a little skill and the right timing, it is possible to take the stick or chain from another driver.
In 1994 a new variant of Road Rash appeared for the 3DO . It offers a real 3D terrain, but the drivers are shown as sprites . Later implementations for the PC, Sega Saturn and the Sony Playstation are based on the 3DO game. There were also numerous tracks from A&M Records, Inc. on the CD. Numerous videos that were recorded between the races were shot especially for the game. This was played depending on the racing situation. Pieces by the American alternative rock band Paw were used for the background music.
