It's not uncommon for a track to have four or more of these forks, and they really make each track feel generic. Every track has the same forks in the road, and an onscreen arrow tells you which direction to choose. There are a ton of tracks in the game, but aside from different race locales, the track design isn't too different from track to track. Just don't try to pull a wheelie over a truck. You can also pull off a wheelie, which can be used to launch yourself up and over oncoming traffic. The top buttons control all of your attacks, while the two analog sticks control your throttle and steering.

The control, particularly with the dual-shock controller, is top-notch. The sound is good, but there's a real lack of varied racer taunts. But the bikers and the bikes are modeled well enough, and the game is still very playable.

Get more than three or four bikes onscreen and the frame rate takes a huge nosedive. The game also includes a time-trial mode and several multiplayer modes, like cops and robbers and side car. You make arrests simply by knocking enemies off their bikes, but it's significantly harder to knock people off in this mode. In this mode, you advance either by arresting thugs to fill your quota or by popping one flashing suspect. Five-O mode lets you play the role of the police. As you complete tracks, you'll earn points for racing and fighting well, and these points in turn grant you extra weapons and nitro boosts. You advance by placing third or higher on a track. In the game's main mode, you'll ally yourself with a gang and advance through its ranks.
#ROAD RASH PS1 VS ROAD RASH 3 SERIES#
While many hard-core RR fans were disappointed with the series' last PlayStation appearance, Road Rash: Jailbreak fixes what was wrong with Road Rash 3D and delivers a fast, fight-filled racing experience.Īlong with the return to the roots of the series comes an all-new storyline. Electronic Arts has been making Road Rash games for close to ten years now, and with only a few exceptions, the series has remained true to its motorcycle racing, punching-and-kicking roots.
