Road Rash

The gameplay calls for excellent driving more than heroic combat, but you still won't want to relinquish the controller. This Road's well worth the toll at the cash register.

But as much fun as Road Rash may remain, you can't help but feel the game is getting a little old. Sadly, the expanded memory capabilities of the CD-ROM seems to be filled with lame FMV sequences instead of innovative gameplay that has become expected from Electronic Arts. If you've never experienced Road Rash, there is certainly enough here to warrant a purchase. Otherwise, downshift and pass it.

If you've seen the 3DO version you probably won't see any changes on this version except for the minor differences. The sounds have been changed for the better and graphics are smoother than before. Other than that, everything else is the same. Overall, the game needs some spicing up with more tracks.

I absolutely loved this game on the 3DO and this is essentially the same game. So I should love it, right?...Wrong! This is the PS. Where's the upgrade? Gex, Total Eclipse and especially Off World Interceptor got majorly better going from 3DO to PS. What gives here? Gimme Rash 2 and maybe we can talk. I got a 3DO.

This PlayStation version of Road Rash could have been great; give it some beefed up graphics, new options, and different bikers and you'd have a hit on your hands. While it's still a fun action/arcade racer, it's not terribly innovative and falls as an average PlayStation conversion.

While Road Rash was cool for the Genesis, it hasn't made enough upgrades to make it on the PSX
