As long as you have health left, you can make it through level after level, challenge after challenge, but if you fail an objective you’ll be punished and your maximum health will be reduced. There is a flimsy story, in which the leader of a post-apocalyptic country is assassinated and various biker gangs race across said country to claim the massive bounty placed on the assassin’s head, but it really makes no difference to anything. I’m no prude, but if the aim was to appeal to fans of the games that inspired it, I feel that the language and ultra violence misses the mark entirely.Īnother missed mark comes in the form of its campaign mode, which is a bizarre mixture of roguelike structure and objective-based missions. As I mentioned moments ago, you can decapitate one another during races, with the accompanying sounds leaving nothing to the imagination. The Australian narrator and the Mad Max vibe given off from the cast of bikers isn’t even close to PG, with salty language flying around before, during and after events. Make no mistake, while Road Rash was (sort of) family friendly, Road Redemption seems to delight in its adult content. This helps you to concentrate on not being thrown over the bonnet of an oncoming car, or having your head lopped off by an opponent’s machete. There are no braking zones or hairpin bends to worry about, as the roads are largely straight with only minor curves to negotiate in most of the tracks. Road Redemption, like Road Rash before it, sees you and your opponents on motorbikes, racing down busy highway roads while smashing each other in the face with baseball bats and other assorted weaponry.

Bringing the series to a more modern market, through a spiritual successor like Road Redemption, had the potential to do quite well, especially in this age of retro resurgence. Even played Road Rash 3 again fairly recently, which stands up well thanks to its sheer fun factor. All tracks have indiividual features and are represented by different lengths.I used to love Road Rash, back on the Mega Drive. Available 5 unique tracks: Sierra Nevada, Pacific Coast, Redwoods, Desert of Palms and Grassy Valley. Has two rearview mirrors and an information panel showing speed, time, position and distance traveled. You can take away weapons if you counterattack in time. Heroes fight with fists, feet, clubs, tire iron, etc.д. Vehicles have a strength scale that cannot be lowered to zero. But it will lose the time it takes to win. If you fall off the bike, the protagonist himself will get on the bike and continue the race. Road signs and trees also act as obstacles. People and animals can walk around in cities. Compete against other racers on special tracks, asphalt roads, sidewalks, etc.д.
The amount of reward in Road Rash depends on the position in the standings. Money is credited in any event if the rider reaches the finish line. The proceeds buy new abilities, weapons, and motorcycles. Tracks highlighted by lots of twists and turns and winding sections.
Road Rash - is a Survival race in which the main goal is to reach the finish line before all enemies.
