Road Rash 3D
Road Rash 3D is a motorcycle racing game developed by EA Redwood Shores and published by Electronic Arts for the PlayStation in 1998. As the first fully 3D entry in the Road Rash series, it combines high-speed street racing with brutal combat, allowing riders to punch, kick, and weaponize their way past opponents across diverse real-world locations.

Over deze retro game
Road Rash 3D marked a major technological leap for the series, moving from 2D sprite-based graphics to a fully polygonal 3D engine. The game features 15 tracks spread across six international locations including California, Scotland, and Indonesia, each with branching paths and dynamic weather effects that affect handling.
Players choose from several unlockable bikes and characters, each with different speed, acceleration, and handling stats. The combat system uses a context-sensitive attack system — at close range, riders can throw punches or kicks, while at a distance they can wield weapons like chains, clubs, and even cattle prods that can be knocked from other riders.
The career mode spans five difficulty tiers, with each tier requiring a top-three finish to advance. Police officers appear on higher-tier races, actively attempting to knock players off their bikes and arrest them. The game also features a split-screen two-player mode for head-to-head mayhem.
The soundtrack includes licensed rock and metal tracks from artists like Swervedriver and The Dandy Warhols, fitting the game's aggressive, adrenaline-fueled aesthetic. Road Rash 3D received praise for its smooth framerate and sense of speed, though some critics noted the handling could be slippery at high speeds.
