Road Rash
I hope you like early 90s rock musicGenre: racing - vehicle combat
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Year: 1994
System: Sega CD
Gameplay Score: 4
Gameplay Notes:
Same gameplay as previous games on the Genesis, but with an ever so slightly smoother experience.
Level Design Score: 4
Level Design Notes:
The tracks all play out the same as previous games, albeit with pedestrians, for some reason. However, this time you can choose between the standard season mode and a new arcade mode where you can just jump into one of six races.
Theme Score: 1
Theme Notes:
The 90s attitude gets dialed up to 11 with pangry rock music and over the top, edgy, sexualized cutscenes between races. It's a bit much, and the product of an era that I have no nostalgia for.
Art Style Score: 4
Art Style Notes:
It's got the rendered sprites from RR3, which I didn't like, but with much improved performance. I still prefer the hand drawn sprites from 1 and 2. The background looks amazing, with tons of parallax scrolling. This is the best looking game in the series.
Audio Score: 1
Audio Notes:
Truly horrific sound effects and drowned out by licensed songs from bands like Soundgarden and...uh...a few other rock bands I've never heard of. I muted this game.
Overall Score: 71
