2 Extreme
Jeez, talk about primitive. I can understand the mediocre graphics considering it's close to being a 1st Generation title. But what's with the simple & uninspired play mechanics? You go forward & move from side to side. All while avoiding obstacles & attempting to knock the other players down. I've seen this before in Road Rash. And the formula just stinks. You'll only garnish 10 minutes of two-player fun before the title wears out on you. Now imagine having 3 different vehicles to choose from. You would think each one would control & play differently. However it's the same exact thing with each one. What happened to variety? I'll give it some credit because of the ability to attack pedestrians. But that's it. You'll be done with this game even before you reach the next level.

Codes & Tips |
Category | Score | How & Why |
Graphics | 5 | Blocky Digitized 2D & 3D / Obviously 1st Generation |
Music | 6 | Funky Rock & Alternative Tunes / They're Sampled from true to life Underground Bands, but Who Cares? |
Gameplay | 4 | Controls were Simple & Fun on the old 16-bit Road Rash / But Today, you're looking for something New & Original |
Innovation | 3 | Racing Games are a Dime a Dozen / Too bad this one isn't one of the Shiney Dimes |
Replay | 2 | Guaranteed Fun for 10-minutes / It's a waste of $20 |
Overall Score: 4.0
