Road Rash for Nintendo 64 - Have you ever dreamed of tearing up the highway on a beast of a bike, clad in black leather and surrounded by your closest friends? THQ has made this dream come true for many roughneck wannabes, with a high-speed motorcycle combat game fittingly titled Road Rash 64. Road Rash 64 automatically inducts you into an exclusive motorcycle club, where you must build your rep by winning races where the rules encourage you to break the rules. With opposing riders wielding pool cues, lead pipes and other blunt objects, you're in for anything but an easy ride. You can increase the notoriety of your club by avoiding these uncouth attacks, and maybe even engaging in a bit of foul play yourself. As you cruise the country proving that you're b-b-b-b-bad to the bone, other clubs show off their advanced AI by holding grudges and forming new alliances along the way. If you prove that you're no punk, you'll be invited to special rumbles only available to the most feared clubs on the road.

Road Rash is a game series that's been around since the Sega Genesis, but this is its first incarnation on the Nintendo 64. For its part, THQ has done a smashing job of bringing the brawling motorcycle game into the world of 3-D. The game lacks much visual detail, but that lack allows a frame rate that never slows down, even when 10 or more bikers are on the road, hacking at each other and vying for the pole position. Like its ancestors, Road Rash 64 presents two goals--winning road races, and abusing other riders, including cops in pursuit. The crashes are spectacular. Sparks fly as bikes scrape along the pavement, and riders perform aerial acrobatics as they fly off their hogs. Text messages also appear onscreen to notify players of who caused whom to crash--a nice touch that is reminiscent of online multiplayer PC games. The game has two major classes of motorcycles: cruisers that are durable and fast on straightaways, and sport bikes that are aerodynamic and nimble around turns. As players progress through a one-player game, they will be invited to join one of two bike-centric gangs, supplying relative immunity from their brethren during gameplay--unless you hit one of them first! The multiplayer mode offers a number of different options, including lap races, death match, tag, and pedestrian hunting. While the single-player game is pure adrenaline fun, Road Rash 64 with four players is an experience not to be missed. In addition to thrilling sound effects, Road Rash 64 has some very noisy, and very appropriate, musical accompaniment from real recording artists such as Sugar Ray and the Mermen. --Jeff Young Pros: Excellent in-game music Great control and fluid action A cathartic, high-energy experience, especially in multiplayer mode Cons: Graphics don't feature very detailed textures, even with expansion pack support...
