  This is actually a spiritual successor to the Road Rash franchise. Made by a different studio, but a tribute to that older game series.

    Nice. I might actually check this out.

    Played it on Sega Mega Drive back in the day. There was also a dope game called Skitchin’ that was like Road Rash almost, but on roller blades…

    Loved Carmageddon, Twisted Metal, Destruction Derby, FlatOut etc as well.

  Road Rash was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this post. Like you said though, this appears to go a level above kicking people off of bikes. Haha.

  was Road Rash the one with live action police arrest cutscenes ? i remember a motorcycle game where two cops put you inside their car trunk but don’t remember the title

    Yes, that’s the one. The version you played was probably the PC version, which is an improved port of the 3DO/PSX version. There’s a lot of games in the series all just called Road Rash, which makes it more confusing to Google.

      I freaking love that game, it’s a shame I can’t get to work on my modern rig, I would love to go back to it. It holds up! I got it running on my laptop a few years back, but I can’t get it to work since…it wants a dang keycode access (drm) and I can’t find any trust worthy sites that have like an ‘open’ version. So many fond memories of that game.

      Also a banging soundtrack, it’s the reason I’m a Soundgarden fan!

        Same, Soundgarden and Monster Magnet. My version doesn’t need a serial key, it can just be installed. Copy the rest of the data from the CD to the game dir and you can even play without a disc.

  God damn I miss road rash, staying up all night flinging racers into the sky, crashing them into cars and just laughing all night with my brother.

    Man, that was so much fun. Back then when games actually amazes you that much that you had so much fun and Road Rash was definitely one of my favourites.

      and there are no manuals so you had to figure that shit out on your own. he was a whole different ball game when we figured out you could stick your pipe in the spokes of the motorcycle next to you
