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 game was originally released for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, but was ported to several other systems. Six different games were released from 1991 to 1999, and a 2004 licensed port for the Game Boy Advance was released. Road Rash and two of its sequels later appeared on the EA Replay collection for the PSP.
The game's title is based on the slang term for the severe friction burns that can occur in a motorcycling fall where skin comes into contact with the ground at high speed.
Electronic Arts' madcap motorcycle racing series makes the transition from sprites to polygons for its second game on the 32-bit PlayStation.
Three play modes are available in Road Rash 3D: Thrash, Big Game, and Time Trials. "Thrash" involves selecting a bike and course before testing out your driving and brawling skills against computer-controlled rivals. "Big Game" features a career-style progression system that has you advancing to various courses across the country, earning money along the way to purchase new bikes and upgrades. "Time Trials" has you trying to race each course as quickly as possible, and you'll be able to alternate turns with a second player to determine who is the fastest rider.
The soundtrack features licensed songs from artists CIV, Full on the Mouth, Kid Rock, the Mermen, Sugar Ray, and the Tea Party.
