"Anecdotal"
Energetic and nervy, Rob Hubbard's music makes the FM chip roar with rock riffs perfectly in tune with the fury of the motorcycle races. The biting themes spike the adrenaline of overtakes and on-tarmac brawls. This raging sonic energy set the sonic stage for a cult series.
A motorcycle racing game from Electronic Arts, Road Rash blends snappy riding and combat with fists and chains between competitors, on long open roads dotted with traffic. The unique blend of speed, casual violence and bike management creates an intoxicating formula, where you earn money to gear up. The sense of speed and the rebellious humour carry through the years. The presentation has aged but the pleasure remains. For a fan of offbeat arcade racing or someone curious about an EA classic, the title keeps a strong identity and immediate fun.
