As in previous parts, here you are offered to ride motorcycles. There are 18 of them available. They are divided into 3 categories: old, sport and superbikes. These classes differ in handling, speed, maneuverability and whether or not they have nitro gas pedals. The new vehicles can be purchased for money.
And they are given as a reward for winning races. Also the currency is spent to upgrade the current bike. Road Rash 3 revisits EA's venerable blend of racing and thrashing, packing in enough visual and gameplay variety to dazzle veteran rashers. With new feature-packed tracks and five deadly new weapons, your pulse will pound for months.
In the latest version of Road Rash , you strike out to conquer the world, racing on seven tracks in such countries as Brazil, Japan, and Kenya to rake in bucks and buy new bikes.
Yes, that's seven tracks -- each level still consists of five races, but you now face new courses on higher levels! Also, instead of saving to buy a new bike, you can now upgrade its suspension, performance, protection, and tires for a much lower price. The tight controls create unique handling for each bike; you'll instantly feel the difference as you buy better equipment.
Rashers can carry as many weapons as they can collect, though switching between weapons requires unwieldy button presses. But with new weapons like mace, cattle prods, nunchuks, and crowbars at your fingertips, you'll want 'em all.
Cops chase you in helicopters and cars, but roadside ramps provide quick escapes. Although they have more speed and fluidity than RR 2 's jerky two-player racing, they still feel twitchier and less responsive than the one-player racing. This game emphasizes fighting over riding, which cranks the excitement into high gear.
You won't slide out or crash into road signs as often, but to win, you have to pound half the pack off its bikes. Graphically, the backgrounds feature much more realistic details and scenery, such as Germany's snow-lined track. The foregrounds are enhanced with snazzy oncoming traffic, roadside obstacles like Japanese pedestrians, and slick sprites and bikes. The music suits the locale of each level, but it remains annoyingly peppy.
The sound effects, though often silly, intensify the combat. With its greatly expanded features, RR 3 has enough depth to keep your pedal to the metal. Experienced rashers will delight in mastering these bikes and battling on the challenging new tracks. If you've never rashed before, grab a crowbar and toe the line! Road Rash 3: Tour De Force is the third game in the Road Rash video series, and is an arcade motorcycle simulator video game.
Road Rash III features violent illegal street racing, as in the first two versions. While in the first two games the players could have only competed on tracks from the North America, now they are able to compete in Brazil, United Kingdom described as the Isle of Man , Germany, Italy, Kenya, Australia and Japan.
Road Rash III features fifteen bikes in several classes, but also four types of upgrades for each of them. There are eight weapons available, and the player is now able to hold on to a weapon between the races. However, the game does not have to be reset, otherwise the weapon will get lost. Mace, chains and others are featured among the weapons available in this version of the game. Electronic Arts improved the graphical engine as well, by using digitalized sprites.
You may win enough money to be able to purchase a level three bike near the end of level two but you will only have a few more races until you qualify for level three. Once you qualify for level three, you are racing against other level three bikes so you are just one in a pack of the same. Speaking of the different levels, the game is broken up into three different levels. The first level is made up of eight different courses. You have to finish in the top three positions on all of the courses and then you will advance to level two.
Each pits you against other racers of the same level. For example, on level two, all of the other rashers have level two bikes.
Like I mentioned above, you can save your cash and purchase a level two bike even if you are still on level one. It is pretty tough to make enough money to afford a bike for the next level but if you can pull it off, you will rip through the rest of the level. My only complaint about the levels is that I wish they would have made them a bit shorter.
I would have rather had four or five shorter levels than three long levels. That would have meant that you had more bikes to shoot for. Another big change between this game and the previous versions is that you are broken up into gangs. This was a great idea because instead of the game being every man for himself, it gave you a bit of loyalty to the some of the other bikers. The type of bike you ride determines your gang.
For example, if you ride a Cruiser, you are automatically part of the Dewley gang. These are the ponytail-clad bikers that are big into clubs and chains. So if you race a Cruiser, you are part of the gang which means that you will handle clubs and chains a bit better and the rest of the Cruisers will cut you some slack.
This added a new dimension to the game. Instead of just pounding the crap out of everybody in sight, I found myself not hitting the other racers in my gang and they would extend the same courtesy to me. Even though this was the case most of the time, there were times that it did not matter if you were in the same gang or not because you were going to get the crap kicked out of you regardless.
It was funny because I found myself feeling bad when I had to unleash an ass kicking on one of my own gang members but I did whatever it took to win. I did have a few complaints with the game.
The first complaint is in the controls. Well, actually the analog control was smooth but the standard digital control was very tough to use.
Everything in this game is based on drifting, floating and cutting on the corners and the digital pad was just to stiff to achieve this. The only problem is that with the analog controller, the configuration is just plain annoying. What I mean by this is that the left stick is used for steering and the right stick is used for gas and break.
If you push down the left stick, it changes the camera view to look behind your bike. If you push down the right stick, it activates one of your nitro bursts. The problem is, when you are racing and you hit a corner at MPH, you slam the stick in the direction of the corner and you jam the right stick down for the brakes.
I can't count how many times I accidentally pushed down on one of the sticks causing me to either use a nitro unintentionally or have my view switched to behind me which really screwed up my cornering.
Sure, these may be my own fault but I am sure others will do the same. My second complaint is not really a complaint but a warning. This game gets really tough when you hit level three. I cruised through the first two levels in a few hours. When I got to level three, it took me days before I even qualified on one track.
This is where the 3D comes into play. They did a great job on the riders and the bikes. They all look realistic. When I ran into a car head-on and I was thrown from my bike, the dude looked so cool with his arms in a slight swimming motion and the bike tumbling along behind me.
The backgrounds were adequate but there were times that I would drive off the road and the graphics would tweak for a minute. The different courses were all well thought out and I was impressed with the developers because they always seemed to know where to stick a car, light pole or sign to keep you from ripping through the courses. I think the details could have been a bit sharper not including the bikes and riders but they got the job done.
Bottom Line If you are a former rasher, you should really have a blast. Sure, the gameplay is nothing new but look at it as a positive because a lot of times when the gameplay is messed with, the whole game ends up sucking. The great looking bikes and riders make you feel like you are a part of the action and the addition of different types of bikes really pulled me into the game more.
I am not sure what sort of reaction the rest of the gaming press will have on this game but since I am a long time rasher, I really enjoyed it. Ever since the 3DO version of Road Rash game out the game that pushed me into buying that awful system , I've been waiting for a worthy sequel to arrive. Fortunately, RR3D is that sequel, though to be totally fair, if you're not a die-hard Road Rash fan like myself, you may find yourself wondering what all the fuss is about.
Road Rash 3D doesn't offer any major improvements over its predecessors other than the obvious, which is a fully 3D engine, new music I actually prefer the old music and much better track designs. Oh, and there's analog control and Dual Shock support and in similar fashion, l prefers the digital pad.
The gameplay is well-balanced, and the four different classes of bikes are varied enough that you can realty feel the difference in control between them, but the combat portion of the game--which is really like half the fun of it all--has been toned down a lot. The graphics and sounds are very nice some of the later tracks look gorgeous , and when you get some of the later faster bikes, the screen just screams by, making for some intense racing.
Yet still, I can't help but feel like RR3D could've been much more. And as minor a complaint as it may be, I really hate the fact that you no longer control your guy running back to the bike after a crash. Still, RR fans should be satisfied. I was skeptical of the 3D polygon incarnation of RR. One example of this is if you get busted by the cops and have no money, so you have to work for them in a mission which is pretty cool.
I feel that with Road Rash 3, EA tried to walk that fine line between being an arcade-style game and being more realistic. This is most evident in the way you look after your bike. You earn money as you race and you can flat out buy a new bike which is cool. However, you do also have to maintain your bike by repairing it. As well as this, you can upgrade your bike in several categories to make it faster, handle better, and so on.
I liked this aspect of the game and thought it was a nice addition. The core gameplay has not radically changed over Road Rash 2. You are still racing on your bike and as well as finishing, you have to fight other bikers. You can punch and kick them and as you do, their stamina bar will deplete. Once depleted they will fall, but watch out as you also have a stamina bar! One thing that Road Rash 3 kicked up several notches was the weapons as there are many more in this game.
Some have a limited amount of hits such as the cattle prod. The racing feels great and while your initial bike may not be anything to brag about. As you progress and get access to upgrades and better bikes things become even more fun. The game is rather challenging, especially when you are hauling ass and come off your bike and have to run what feels like 10 miles back to it! You can play the game in split-screen which is even more fun if you ask me! Remember how I said they were trying to be more realistic with this game?
Well, that also translates to the presentation as well. This is a good-looking game, it really is. To be honest I much prefer the style of the second game over this one, that goes for the soundtrack as well.
This does not look or sound bad at all, but for my personal preference, I much prefer the presentation from the second game. I feel that Road Rash 3 is somewhat of a hidden gem. Many people will sing the praises of the second game, but very few do for the third one. Granted, I do prefer Road Rash 2. However, I must admit that the way this game gives you more stuff to progress with in the form of the upgrades and new bikes is pretty cool. Make sure you give this one a try, especially if you have been put off by many people myself included saying the second game is way better!
