April 2025
Road Rash This Is Not Not so bad top-down arcade racing game influenced by Knight Rider and Road Rash and maybe some other racing games of old which were forgotten over time. The game has 3 modes : Story , Arcade and Challenges. Story in this game is pretty generic and not so great but its presented in a comic book style "cartoon" which is nice actually. It is also rather short - 30-40 minutes to complete. In Arcade mode there is an endless road for score-crushers (driving on the wrong side of the road will get you more points but it's super risky) and those who want their name on the Leaderboard. And lastly , Challenges present you with 48 tasks to complete : easy-peasy in the beginning (drive x km , knock out 5 enemies , grab 10 money bags etc.) and hard and super annnoying in the end (ridiculous knock out 50 enemies or outrun 50 enemies etc). I actually completed all the challenges first and hated most of them 'cause they were so time consuming and tiresome but it made Arcade and Story modes really easy and even fun. When i was playing through Challenges i started to hate this game but after some time i realised that it's not so bad. The Challenges could drain your mental health completely especially if you want to 100 % this game. Not only do they get harder and harder but you also need to complete them with 3 skulls (no dying) for a 100 % completion. For me the Outrun X Enemies was the worst (they keep getting knocked up by the cars which was so annoying + you need to outrun them while they driving 'cause otherwise it won't register). I found the controls quite wonky at first but after some time i got used to them (they still not great though). Some reviewers mentioned that the gamepad controls is even worse so i think i made the right choice (played on keyboard). The OST was great though : 7 nice rock/hard rock songs from some talented and underrated artists really made this game a lot better in my eyes. There was also some ridiculous bug when camera suddenly freezes but you still can drive and because of that the crash is almost a guarantee. P.S. Road Rash series was a lot of fun back in the day. That's it !
