Road-Rash

3D ROADRASH:

Road Rash was a smash hit on the Mega Drive back in the 16 bit days are even made an appearance on the SNES but like all SNES games ported from the Mega Drive, it just wasn't as good despite looking better. Anyway, once the 3DO came along the Mega Drive and SNES versions of Road Rash just didn't seem the same thanks to the 3DO's real 3D worlds, real music and video cut scenes. This Saturn version is a port of the 3DO original and while it may have extra features (I don't really know since I never played the 3DO version that much) it looks pretty much the same. However by today's standards it does look pretty poor like most Saturn racers. However stuff like Sega Rally and Daytona still manage to impress thanks to the shear amount of action in Daytona's case or beautiful frame rate in Sega Rally's case or excellent playability in the case of both of those titles. This is where Road Rash falls flat on it's arise! It no longer looks good, takes too long to load, and has annoying video clips and worst of all, plays like a wet sack of crack. Yep, Road Rash these days is a dud. In fact I can't see why it was so popular back in its day now that I think about it.

System Requirement: Win 98/XP, PIII, 300 MHz, 64MB Ram, 350MB Hard Disk, 16MB Display.
