| ActionFreak's Full Review: Road Rash 3D for PlayStation 1 |
It sure is fun to ride your motorcycle. It's more fun to race it. It's best to clean the clocks of your opponents with 2X4's when doing it. Heheheheh. Welcome to Road Rash 3D, one of the best motorcycle racing games for the Playstation.
Graphics:
Graphics are good. You can tell a friend from an enemy and a cop from a competitor. Also you can tell if an enemy is armed by the detail given to the weapons. The Bikes look nice and the background is average. However you won't have time to look at that much anyway when you're laying rubber on the highway. I give 3 stars. ***
Sound:
Full music tracks with vocals from various artists are able to be selected and organized for your listening pleasure while to flatten a skull or two or drive a street thug into the concrete. You can hear the chains whistle as they gain speed for a target, striking opponents sound good and engines on different bikes sound different. Sweet. I give 4 stars. ****
Control:
Depends on the bike...Early on with your junkyard special and War-Mart special clearance marked ride, you have little speed and sluggish control. As you win more races though, you get bikes that are more responsive and fast. In the end you have bikes that move like lightning, and the control is almost too loose and slick. Multiple weapons also allow for multiple attacks and are easy to perform. You are also able to jump cars if your timing is right... I give three stars. ***
Replay Value:
It's fun to play over and over. You can ride and buy different bikes, ride with and be members of other biker groups, take joyrides off the beaten path, run from and beat up the police trying to ticket you. plenty of replay. I give 4 stars. ****
Fun Factor:
Its the best fun on two wheels you can have. Running all over the place, racing your bikes and finally being allowed the pleasure to kick the hell out of those who get in your way, cut you off, or just look at you funny. Victory is sweet, and vengeance is sweeter. Plenty of competition, tons of tracks, lots of weapons and bikes. Full motion video after the races and sporadically throughout the game are also great, funny, and suited to the game's feel. If you don't have a motorcycle racing game, this is one you should have. If you do, rent and compare. You may be wanting to exchange for this baby. I give 4 stars. ****
