Road Rash 2 (Amiga)

Once again I am returning to my youth with a review of a Sega Mega Drive Game (Note:Megadrive games are put in Amiga Section on Dooyoo!). On this occasion I will be reviewing Road Rash 2. When I was about 10years old I always remember visiting my cousins in Liverpool and like me they owned a Mega Drive and among their games collection was Road Rash, possibly the simplest yet one of the most addictive games around, so you can imagine my excitement while wondering around our local charity shop a few days ago when I see Road Rash 2 for the Megadrive complete with box and instruction manual for just £1! It was a must have purchase! *** What is Road Rash 2? ...  Read the complete review

Much the same as its predecessor, Road Rash 2 is a simple but addictive motorbike racing game in which you compete in illegal racing matches across the highways of America on a range of supercharged bikes.

Road Rash 2 was one of the greatest games I ever played on the Amiga or the Sega Megadrive. Having played Road Rash and enjoyed the high speed beat em up action, I could not wait to get my hands on Road Rash 2. It combined all the great features of Super Hang on with the beat em up thrill and story of Streets of rage. With the cosh, the chain or the crow bar, you can bash your fellow rashers from their machines. The introduction of the nitro boost added a special thrill, and when you are stopped by the cops, the cut scenes are varied and hilarious. In my book, the greatest of the road rash games, even better than rash 2 and could not be topped by rash 3. Upgrading your ...  Read the complete review
