Go ahead: drive angry. The superb Windows 95 translation of Road Rash preserves - indeed, enhances - all the lunatic speed and enthusiastic violence of the classic console motorcycle racing game, which first appeared on the 3DO.

Vorsicht - tieffliegende Biker: Road Rash, das The Need for Speed auf zwei Rädern, verquickt beinharten Fahrspaß mit viel Zynismus, kernigen Hardrock-Soundtracks und pompöser HiRes-Grafik. In Kooperation mit der Papyrus Design Group (NASCAR Racing, IndyCar Racing) hat Electronic Arts das populäre 3DO-/Playstation-Motorrad-Rennspiel exklusiv für Windows 95-PCs umgesetzt.

Solospieler werden für ein paar Wochen gut unterhalten, und zusammen mit dem erheiternden Multiplayer-Modus, ein paar Freunden und einer Kiste Bier bietet Road Rash auch auf längere Sicht Spielspaß pur.

Adrenaline Vault, The (AVault)
Put your leather gloves on, lace up your leather boots, throw on that leather jacket, and prepare yourself for one hell of a ride in Electronic Arts' Road Rash. This game puts you on top of your motorcycle and challenges you to stay on it while traveling through cities and other surroundings. This is the most aggressive motorcycle game ever to hit the PC.

Schräg aufgemachte Motorrad-Action ohne jeden Simulations-Anspruch. Fährt sich äußerst spritzig - ideal für Netzwerk-Schlachten.

Man kunne godt ønske sig nogle lidt mere varierende baner, for det er nemlig de samme baner igen og igen, også på de senere levels. Det eneste der skifter, er trafikken og banernes længde. Udover disse små 'fejl' er Road Rash dog et sjovt spil, som man kan bruge mange timer på.

De spetterende muziek die je krijgt in het menu, blijkt in het spel een sisser van formaat. De muziek lijkt wel voor adlib-kaarten geschreven. Grafisch is Road Rash dan weer wel een pareltje. Je scherm is in 640x480 in 16 bit, of in het Neanderthalers: SVGA en 65.000 kleuren. De schermopbouw gebeurt razendsnel. Doe daar nog eens een bijna reële wegligging bovenop en je hebt een knap racespel.

So is it any good? Well, it's a competent racing game but looks a little dated when compared to the likes of Screamer 2. And, though the trimmings are all very well, unless you're bit of a biker, they just leave you cold. Still, it's nicely done and will help you pass a few minutes affably.

Road Rash is a great concept carried to an extreme, both in hardware requirements and juvenile attitude. With the likes of EA and Papyrus behind this title, it should have had the best of both companies' impressive qualities; instead it seems to have carried over the worst mistakes of their past racing titles -- Papyrus' blocky graphics and EA's recurring hardware-compatibility difficulties. Still, even with its drawbacks, I did find myself playing it for quite a few hours and having quite a bit of fun. Overall I rate it a 72. So much promise ... it should have been so much better.

Die lustigen Zwischensequenzen
und der coole Biker-Soundtrack
erzeugen echte Rocker-
Atmosphäre. Nichts für Formel-
Fetischisten, dafür ist Road Rash
eine erfrischende Abwechslung
im ansonsten bierernsten Simulations-
Genre.
Es macht mir auch heute noch
einen Heidenspaß, zuzusehen,
wie die Nebenbuhler nach einem
herzhaften Tritt den Laternenpfahl
küssen.

With the new Windows 95 version of Road Rash and its eight-player capability, the old standard now has the power to addict.

På det stora hela är dock Road Rash trevlig actionunderhållning för halvkorta spelsessioner när man inte vill använda hjärnan mer än absolut nödvändigt.
