Road Rash 3: Tour De Force (Sega Mega Drive / Genesis review)

Developer: Monkey Do Productions
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Released: 1995

Road Rash 3: Tour De Force is a vehicular combat racing game that's exclusive to Sega's 16-bit console.

+ Lengthy solo mode with plenty of options / upgrades to sink your teeth into, and there's a handy password feature.

+ Racing is as chaotic as ever, and the fast-paced action makes you constantly feel on the very edge of control.

+ Adding European countries is inspired, as some force you to retrain your brain by driving on the opposite side of the road.

+ Heavy metal intro track sets the mood with crazy double-kick drums, and there's some hilarious post-race cut-scenes.

- Gameplay offers nothing different to advance the series and the new courses only serve as bland racing backdrops.

- Low frame-rate makes it almost impossible to accurately dodge incoming traffic with any degree of consistency.

- New digitised character sprites create an unappealing, angular look that feels detached from the road / scenery.
