Developed by 3d6 Games and published by Electronic Arts, Road Rash arrived on the Game Boy Color as a racing game.

It is part of the Road Rash series. The series also appears on other systems with Road Rash II (Genesis) and Road Rash 3 (Genesis). 3d6 Games also made Army Men: Sarge's Heroes 2, Madden NFL 2001 and Madden NFL 2002 for the GBC.

Road Rash supports up to 2 players, whether that means taking turns or going head-to-head.

Pick it if…

  • you want to race and compete
  • you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
  • you have a friend to play against
  • you've played the GBC hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want a story or exploration rather than laps

What playing Road Rash is like

Racing games range from realistic driving to kart racers with weapons and shortcuts. Races are short, making them great for quick sessions and split-screen rivalries.

Tip for newcomers: Learn each track's racing line and braking points; in kart racers, item strategy matters as much as driving.
