Road Rash is a motorcycle racing game built around aggressive street combat. Players take part in illegal races on open roads where the goal is to finish first, and to survive attacks from other racers. Each participant rides armed, using chains, clubs, or even their fists to knock opponents off balance or off their bikes entirely. Speed matters, but so does awareness—getting too close to another racer without defending yourself can end a run instantly.
Tracks, Hazards, and Risk Management
The game’s tracks are long stretches of road packed with cars, potholes, police blockades, and sudden turns. Traffic moves in real time, forcing players to dodge rival racers and random vehicles as well. Crashes can throw players off their bikes and cost valuable time. Police chases add another threat, with officers trying to knock racers down or arrest them if caught. Choosing when to attack, when to dodge, and when to boost speed becomes a constant trade-off between aggression and survival.
Upgrades and Progression
Winning races earns cash, which can be used to buy faster bikes, stronger frames, or better handling. Some upgrades help with speed, while others increase resistance to attacks or reduce the penalty of crashing. As players progress, races become longer and more chaotic, with better-equipped enemies and tighter tracks. Skill and strategy must evolve to match the increasing difficulty. Road Rash combines arcade racing with street-level combat, delivering a fast, high-stakes experience where staying upright is often harder than staying ahead.
