In most cases it isn’t too difficult to fend off rival racers so long as you time your attacks well. Thankfully, you can sometimes steal these weapons from your rivals, which will give you more of a chance when indulging in scraps. Such weapons include chains, baseball bats and even a big, hefty wrench. Some of the racers won’t try and engage you in a punch up, whilst others will not only willfully attack you but do so with a brutal assortment of weaponry. You press B Button to accelerate, A Button to break and C Button to kick and punch whilst alongside the opposing racers. Along the way you have to avoid oncoming traffic, survive perilous intersections, dodge local wild life, squeak past pesky pedestrians, slip under the long arm of the law and fight off the unwanted advances of your murderous fellow racers to crown yourself the Road Rash 3 World Champion.Īs with most Road Rash games, the control system in Road Rash 3 isn’t overly complicated, with the game being tailored for pick up and play fun over a serious biking simulation. Going for a “World Tour” theme, Road Rash 3 sees you racing against chain-swinging and baseball bat-clubbing opponents across every section of the globe with the goal of filling your pockets with ill-gotten gains.
#ROAD RASH 3 SERIES#
Road Rash 3 isn’t the best game in the famous Road Rash series (I think that would probably be the one released to the 3DO) but is a solid slice of motorbike brutality all the same.

It was on one of these occasions that I first played Road Rash 3.

Alas, my family couldn’t afford to get me both, so the only time I could play on a Mega Drive would be if I had a friend who owned one and was willing to let me have a go. I thought both the SNES and Mega Drive were awesome and wanted to play them both incessantly. I never bought into the whole “Console War” thing that was going on at the time. Despite loving my Super Nintendo with all my heart, I always wanted a SEGA Mega Drive as well back in the day. Sticking with the racing theme from last week, I decided to take a look at another game that I put some substantial time into in my younger years, even if I didn’t own the console that it was released on.
