ROAD RASH on the Sega Genesis / Sega Mega Drive

Recently reviewed this wonderful motorcycle racer on the Channel.  I found it to be awfully good fun indeed. Road Rash was published on the Sega Mega Drive by EA in 1991 and was an instant winner. It was to spawn further games in the series. Check out the Youtube review on below.

What separates Road Rash from other cycle racers?

Well, you can brutally punch opponents from their bike whilst overtaking and this ramps the fun up to ridiculous levels. It's not strictly gentlemanly behaviour, but this is all-out arcade action. Take no prisoners !!!

Oncoming traffic, crossroads and some ludicrous jumps add to the excitement.

Frame rate could be slightly better, but the playability is there. Like all good games, the difficulty learning curve is perfect. Your first time round the various circuits your opponents won't attack, allowing you to get used to racing.

Later however, they're  a lot more aggressive, but you'll be more than ready for them by this point.
An excellent game all round. I look forward to reviewing future games in the series. Highly Recommended!
