Even when you adjust the colours of your TV, they seem to be too bright in contrast to the vehicles. The backgrounds are also very nice, but they seem all to be too colourful, and pixelated. Graphics: 7 Racetrack/background-design: 6 All the tracks are very cool and challenging, but graphically they are not that good. You are one of these maniacs, and with the help of weapons, you try to win every race in order to get money for your new bike.
Also the buildings are quite bad designed, with nearly no details. Some landscapes seem too standard-like. Nevertheless the backgrounds are all very simple-designed.
Motorcycle/rider-design: 8 All the bikes and riders are very well done. Well, during the later levels you will not concentrate this much on the buildings standing beside the racetrack, but especially in the first level, you'll look often to the side. Even at that time the PlayStation would have been capable of more detailed and sharp backgrounds.
Well, actually you would be dead then, but in RoadRash you seem to stick on the wall for a moment, before you fall to the ground. Also really cool is when you are flying against a wall with 300km/h. You, for example, turn around when there's another rider directly behind you.
Nothing special, but well done (my standard phrase :-) ) Gameplay: 8 I must confess that I'm riding a motorcycle myself, so not everyone will agree with my rating. SFX: 7 Roaring machines, squealing tires, some voice samples. Most of the songs fit perfectly to the racing excitement, so you won't turn down the music volume - if you like rock music.
By falling down too much, your bike will turn to scrap with time (but this nearly never happens). You have a small ''HP-bar'', and if you have received enough damage, you will fall down your bike, and therefore loosing much time/places. So you can grab, chains, baseball-bats, jimmies, electro-shockers. By attacking someone with your fist, you have the chance to steal his weapon if he is attacking you at the same time.
When you finished all the races you will be promoted into the next level, where you are able to buy a new/stronger motorcycle provided that you have collected enough money. Your goal is it to finish each ! race at least in 3rd place - and there are many races per season. Then your race is over and you have to pay your ticket.
In all the movies you will see a small scene that shows something about them. So the Cafe-racers have their leather-suits and colourful Japanese super-bikes, the Techgeists are riding high-tech ducati-like street-bikes, the weird DeSades have their S/M-style leather suits and their brutal Streetfighters, and finally there are the Harley driving Dewleys. They all show the different clans. Presentation: 10 There's a very cool intro, and during the game you will be able to watch many small, well done films. So in the later levels you won't be able to use your weapons, because everything is too fast, that you have to concentrate on the racetrack. So if you want to beat the last level you will have to do much practicing.
So if you like motorcycles, cool guys beating themselves with chains during driving with 300 km/h and rock music, then this is your PSX-game. But in my opinion this is a really good motorcycle-action-racer, with cool a presentation. Final Score: 8 O.K., there are flaws in the graphic, and the game becomes too hard in the later levels. I like these cool weirdos. So you will soon recognize the voices of the speakers as the guys from the films.
