@KilaBOK6 жыл бұрын
Epic? Let me tell you this story. It happens in Road Rash 3 though. Somewhere in level 3 was a real baaaaaad race - in first four miles i crsh into things way too much - my bike was one hit from exploding after that. So i concentrated hard on road, somehow take first place and a very big lead. Only to crash into something - don't remember what it was. Probably a tree. So now bike was totaly usless. I thought "To hell with that", and run towards finish line. Checking rearview mirrors i see №2 close up on me, but still finished first. Laughed so hard after this :D

OMG one of the funniest RR2 endings ever! My personal favorite is when I finished the race successfully, my character is cheering along with all the other racers just past the finish line and as the camera pulls back, a car comes cruising down the road and wipes everybody out! It was hilarious.

There's now a MSU-MD hack of the game that adds CD quality audio & is absolutely sublime! It can be used on the Mega Everdrive Pro, Mega SD or various emulators. The music is simply fantastic, far better than the stock stuff, and it has the added benefit of allowing for the motorcycle engine noise to play with the music which wasn't possible before without turning off the music completely! Absolutely worth checking out for any and all Road Rash fans!

It's funny how the player and the bike seem to be connected by an invisible wire: If you run away from the bike, either backwards or forwards, the bike follows, dragging itself across the landscape.

I think this was my only Genesis game. But boy was this game a blast! Similar to Castlevania IV intro music, Road Rash II's title music got me pumped up to get on the road and kick ass. Being able to pick different states to race in each with their unique scenery, make the experience feel all the more real. Each of your opponents has their own personality, with different strengths and weaknesses. I love games which notice the little things. This is so true in Road Rash II. You can knock competitors into obstacles. You can beat up cops. Your can launch off hills flying through the air. You can run over people. The obstacles are appropriate for each state. Heck even the bikes keep going forward, after someone's been knocked off. This game is just too humorous. Me and my friend loved mimicking and making fun of video game sound effects like Street Fighter's Hadoken. We'd make up stupid phrases screaming All You Can, Coming Thru, and Hadoken. So naturally when we discovered the Road Rash dude wrecking and flying through the air like superman and screaming olioliolahhh we had to add that to our idiotic phraseology. Its also funny watching your dude trying to get on his broken bike and having it blow up, then watching him fly through the air screaming. This game may seem like just mindless fun, but there is actually some strategy to it. Like when should I upgrade my bike? Do I go with the next cheapest bike or should I wait and risk it getting an even better bike? If I do get an improved bike, do I have enough ability to handle it correctly? Yes the faster a bike you get the less competitors you'll deal with, but the more challenging the course will be. There is always a trade off in this game. So yeah, this a game which looks simple, but is actually quite complex and fun.

My favorite memory of this game series was a super rare glitch. Had a cop on my tail. Go running into a car. We both crash and burn. The engine just pans out, out, out as it can't determine if I lost via being arrested or via wrecking the bike. Wish I had video of that.

As seen past 6:30 when the Wild Thing 2000 is unlocked; this was always my biggest gripe with the Genesis line of Road Rash'es. You MUST get the very powerful bikes to keep up with the pack. And, they grow so powerful that they're both fragile and darn near impossible to keep under control. Plus, buying them would usually wipe my budget out to afford repairs. Otherwise...these games are pure awesome! They have AI opponents that may race or chose to fight. You have allies NOT to fight. Etc.
