Road Rash 3D (PS)

Road Rash 3D smacks of the first Road Rash brought out on the mega-drive (remember them?) EA have managed to recreate the feel and style down to a tee, but with some great tweaks. There are 3 different game modes on offer; The Thrash mode is the basic game, no money to earn and no FMV – but it is pure racing. The Time Trials let up to six players race one at a time on eight different tracks, and you can try out some of the bigger motorcycles from any of the levels! But I left the best mode to last: - The Big Game – you start off with a wodge of cash, you ride a few tracks, qualifying in one of them brings up another until you’ve ...  Read the complete review

What a shock. I've always like the Road Rash games (especially on the Genesis), but this game is bad. It's not the worst game ever made, but it is the worst Road Rash game ever made. Good things about this game: You can still club people upside their damn head with weaponry. Which is always a plus. It's kind of funny watching people getting clubbed repeatedly in a video game. The clubbing factor is a positive in this game. Another plus is the upgrades you can get. Bike upgrades are always a good thing. But the bad thing about the clubbing and upgrades, is that they are not original. Both of these things have always been in the RR ...  Read the complete review

The Road Rash Series has always been a great money-spinner for Electronic Arts, and it was regretfully unpreventable that they would release another one. The new-look Road Rash 3D has, as its name suggests, been given quite a major face-lift in the way of a new (at the time) 3D engine and over ninety miles of road on which to wage war with your fellow ale-swilling club-wielding overly hairy bikers. A big plus is the removal of the ever so prominent pop up problem which was a very big feature of most racing (and other) games of the time. The gameplay is extremely fast and fairly smooth and even the characters aren't as bad as they were. There just ...  Read the complete review

Road rash 3D is an excellent game, aside from the obvious flaws that it has, such as one minute I could be hitting a car or another object and not fall off of my bike, but then a little farther down the road I get slammed and go flying. Other flaws include the fact that when you turn your bike all the way around, it makes you fly off, when you shouldn't. The graphics are great and the various number of tracks that you can race on is excellent. There could be more bikes, but the 12 that are there are good. The game doesn't take long to learn at all, and you can win most of the races in a little amount of time. The controls work well with the ...  Read the complete review

I loved Road Rash when it first came out for the Sony Playstation. A couple of years later I started seeing commercials for Road Rash 3D and became very excited about the fact that I'd be able to race a motorcycle in a 3-D environment and kick some biker butt as well. I purchased the game when it came out about a year ago and couldn't figure out what was 3-D about it. A year later, I'm still trying to figure out what's 3-D about it. It looks and plays very similarly to the original and just wasn't worth the hard earned cash. ...  Read the complete review
