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. Sound: 8 Music: 9 EA hired many famous musicians like Kid Rock or Sugar Ray for the soundtrack of this game. 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. Especially their movements seem to be very realistic. 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. Especially during races through cities you will see this. Also the buildings are quite bad designed, with nearly no details. Nevertheless the backgrounds are all very simple-designed. Well, maybe this is only my personal opinion. 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. Four groups of motorcycle maniacs, the Cafe-boys, the Techgeists, the DeSades, and the Dewleys are organizing illegal races in their different ''territories''.
