Road Rash 3D is a racing video game developed and published by Electronic Arts exclusively for the PlayStation. The game was generally poorly received, with critics citing lack of key features of past games in the series, mainly multiplayer and a lessened emphasis on combat, as reasons for negative reviews.
The game plays similarly to previous games developed in the Road Rash series, which involves the player racing their motorcycle against other motorcyclists. Gameplay favors an arcade-like style, with little emphasis on realism. While racing, the player has the option of punching, or using weapons to attack other opponents, to slow down their progress. The ultimate goal is to place first in the race in order to earn money to upgrade the player's motorcycle. Conversely, the worst scenario is to finish last, which doesn't earn money, or be stopped by police officers, where the player actually loses money. Despite sharing many characteristics with past games in the series, Road Rash 3D puts a stronger emphasis on the racing aspect of the game, and less on combat.
Road rash is a colloquial term for skin injury caused by abrasion with road surfaces, usually as a consequence of longboarding, cycling and motorcycling accidents. The term may be applied to both a fresh injury and the scar tissue left by an old one. The term is sometimes applied to longboarding, skateboarding, and roller skating abrasion accidents, especially those caused at high speeds (as in longboarding). Symptoms may include pain and heavy bleeding.
Motorcyclists can reduce the risks of road rash by wearing the appropriate motorcycle personal protective equipment such as a full face helmet, protective clothing, gloves and boots.
Road Rash is the name of a motorcycle-racing video game series by Electronic Arts in which the player participates in violent, illegal street races. The series started on the Sega Genesis and made its way to various other systems over the years. The game's title is based on the slang term for the severe friction burns that can occur in a motorcycle fall where skin comes into contact with the ground at high speed.
Six different games were released from 1991 to 2000, and an alternate version of one game was developed for the Game Boy Advance. The Sega Genesis trilogy wound up in EA Replay.
Road Rash debuted on the Sega Genesis in 1991. The game takes place in California, on progressively longer two-lane roads. While the game has a two-player mode, it is a take-turns system that only allows one person to play at a time. There are 14 other opponents in a race. A port of the game wound up on the Amiga, and various scaled-down versions were made for Master System, Sega Game Gear and Game Boy. The Game Boy version is one of just two officially licensed games that is incompatible with the Game Boy Color and newer consoles in the line. There was even a version planned for the SNES, but this was eventually canceled.
Road Rash 3 is a racing video game developed and published by Electronic Arts exclusively for Sega Genesis in 1995.
GamePro gave the game a generally positive review, voicing approval for the way the bike's control changes in response to upgrades, the new weapons, the greater emphasis on fighting other racers, and the graphics, though they criticized the "annoyingly peppy" music. They concluded that "With its greatly expanded features, RR 3 has enough depth to keep your pedal to the metal."
take a walk outside it's a nice day for a drive automotivation
the air is getting clear and the time is getting near for us to roll
gotta watch my style cause god it's almost over
got a little more room to try it hopefully
i've walked this earth for twenty years and now my mind is floating...back to sea
gonna hit the van man you just don't understand total aggravation
rolling down the highway doing ninety going my way in control
gotta watch those corners in the stretch of danger
a problem could arise eventually
i've walked this earth for twenty years and now my mind is floating....back to sea
every time I look into the north wind
i can't find meaning just a rhyme
i don't know but I've been told that good things come with time...
let's go!
