Hiwoktane rates this game: 5/5Motorbike racing with attitude! One of the most memorable games I have played on any platform, and one of the few games I spent enough time on to get the the end, though that's not a stroll in the park.
Genre - well, it's a motorbike racing and combat combo. In all my searching, I haven't found another game in this category, and I've looked pretty hard. A shame, 'cos for me this game in it's day was an adrenaline-pumping escape comparable to no other.
Scream down a 5 to 15 mile wild stretch of road, and speed, punch, and kick your way through the opponent list to get the enough cash at the end of the race to save up for next pet bike. Then buy that, and do it all over again. With each level the road length gets longer, the rocks and oil slicks get tougher, and so do the opponents. You can burn them off with speed or beat them off with combat. Use your fist, foot or pick up a handy club or chain (the best) to fend them off or feed their leather-clad bodies to the tarmac :-)
There are 5 tracks, 5 levels (heaps of challenge), and 15 bikes to choose from, each with different pickup rate, top speed and handling abilities.
Road Rash 2 is a cocktail of wild racing, adrenaline pumping action, danger from all sides, and cheeky humour. It improves the original Road Rash in graphics, weapons, bike range, tracks (in my opinion) and all-round fun! If you get to the end, you'll have earned a medal, and a long holiday!! Give it a go - you won't regret it.
Summary: The only place you get to run wild on the road and get away with it! It's a hoot.
