Road Rash III

"Best Racing Series Ever"

INTRODUCTION - The Road Rash Series are no doubt the best racing games created. Road rash 3 is a motorcycle racing game in which you must beat 14 other players to the finish line of a number of different tracks that are located throughout the world. There are no rules while racing, so you may use chains, clubs, and other weapons to your advantage to get you across that finish line in one piece. The third sequel for the Genesis in particular is the best one of all time. This game is even better than the ones for the playstation because of it's quick load times and funny cartoonish characters.

GAMEPLAY - Gameplay in Road Rash 3 is awesome, the style of racing is way above and beyond any other racer games for this console. It is fast paced, action packed, and full of fun things to do. This game involves lots of skill and determination, and will cause quite a challenge to anyone who tries to beat the game. Even the most skilled players may find this game a little hard, but that is it's point. It isn't just for the most skilled players though, the easier levels are fun to learn on. 10/10

STORY - Greed and Money are the story in this game, as the player, you want to be the richest, most famous and well known man in the game, and it is your duty to race, beat, punch, and kick your way to the top. Nothing must stand in your way to becoming the best biker in the world. The story is pretty simple, but then, why even bother with a story in this type of game? I think it's pretty irrelevant myself, but it doesn't really matter because it's fun to play anyway, with or without a storyline. 4/10

GRAPHICS/SOUND - The graphics are a little sketchy, but then again, what do you expect from a game that is about 8 years old. That's way back in the dinosaur age it seems. Even though this game is old, it still rivals the PS version in graphics in my opinion, because they were made around the same time. Road Rash 3 is slightly better because of it's loading times and its graphics. The sound in this game is really cool, it has cool sound effects and nice music as well. 8/10

REPLAYABILITY - This game has more replayability than a lot of other games out there, I always enjoy playing this game, even in these times of super 3D graphics. Road Rash 3 is fun to play anytime because there is always new stuff to do and there are always fun things to try. Games like this will never die! 10/10

RECOMMENDATION - Definitely get this game and all of these in the series, they are the one and only racing games ever produced. I own all 3 of these games and enjoy playing them a lot. If you see these in your local game store, be sure to grab them up, because someone else will! Still here? What are you waiting for? Get out there and pick these up!
