There are eight weapons available, and the player is now able to hold on to a weapon between the races.
Road Rash III features fifteen bikes in several classes, but also four types of upgrades for each of them. As well as choosing between three different classes of bikes, you can now buy performance, protection, tire and suspension upgrades for smaller amounts of cash. The cool thing is that these are in addition to the original selection, and you can carry all at the same time, alternating weapons as you go.Īnother worthy addition is the "upgrade" department in the bike shop. Rashers are now able to zap opponents with a 50,000 volt cattle prod, blind rivals with a Mace can, or simply empty oil can in their path (great for that "Slip Slidin" Away" feeling).
So what's new? Well, first and foremost are the additions of three new weapons. OK, so there are some small tweaks and improvements, but not enough to make this a worthy purchase if you've got either or both of the other two versions. The idea is still to race 15 other riders over a selection of courses, earning money along the way to buy bigger and faster bikes. Road Rash 3 is essentially a repackaged version of the same game that EA has been selling to Genesis owners for the last four years. Robocop 2 wasn't a patch on its predecessor, the fourth 24-inch "Meat-o-rama" pizza of an evening is never as appetizing as the first, and Road Rash 3 is a game that just ain't what it used to be. Sequels are never as good as the original. Some have a limited amount of hits such as the cattle prod. Once depleted they will fall, but watch out as you also have a stamina bar! One thing that Road Rash 3 kicked up several notches was the weapons as there are many more in this game. You can punch and kick them and as you do, their stamina bar will deplete. You are still racing on your bike and as well as finishing, you have to fight other bikers. The core gameplay has not radically changed over Road Rash 2. I liked this aspect of the game and thought it was a nice addition. As well as this, you can upgrade your bike in several categories to make it faster, handle better, and so on. However, you do also have to maintain your bike by repairing it. You earn money as you race and you can flat out buy a new bike which is cool. This is most evident in the way you look after your bike.
I feel that with Road Rash 3, EA tried to walk that fine line between being an arcade-style game and being more realistic.
