But the age we live in now, controllers have about 10 buttons, all of which MUST be used and the game runs at break-neck speed. The speed of the action was slower as well, so when it came to controlling the bike and smacking people around the head, it was all very simple yet satisfying. Back in the days of Road Rash games controllers were much more basic and only had 3 action buttons. But although there are a splattering of good ideas here, it falls apart slightly with the core gameplay.įirstly, there are the controls. It certainly is something I could overlook if the gameplay held up. I understand that the game has been in development for five years and that it was only a small team working on it, so I don’t want to give them too much of a hard time. It does look a little better on PC, but not by much. The game also suffers from poor presentation in both the way in which the menus operate, to how the game looks when playing, and the graphics are very last-gen with noticeable pop-in and a really bland design. It doesn’t really work however, as the bland environments meant that I never really noticed any difference in how the track was laid out. Each time players play, the games are randomized and the tracks procedurally created to try and keep things fresh. There were also assassination missions and various other gameplay elements to mix things up. There is a standard race, which means I had to finish 3rd or better, and races that required a certain number of enemies to be killed within a set time limit. All of the action takes place in a variety of different race types.
Maybe they would rather shoot at them with an assortment of guns, or if their aiming is bad, stick bombs to their bikes. Instead of just trying to overtake the opposition, players can beat them over the head with a baseball bat or a machete. If you have never played Road Rash or a game of similar ilk, the premise is quite straight forward take to the road on a motorcycle and compete in races, but not just any standard kind of race, a combat race. Platforms: PC (Reviewed), PlayStation 4, Switch, Xbox One And while the game does manage to evoke this to some extent, it misses out where it counts. Originally Kickstarted five years ago, Road Redemption’s promise was to ignite that thrill of motorcycle combat, trying to stay on two wheels while beating the crap out of your opponents. I spent many, many hours round my mate’s house playing it on his Mega Drive, and it remains to this day one game I wish would get a new iteration of (Although, seeing as EA hold the license, maybe not.) I am clearly not the only person to think this as there have been a few modern re-imaginings, one of which is Road Redemption.
Can you remember Road Rash? Woo, what a game.
