How it plays
Choose a rider and compete in illegal motorcycle races viewed from behind the bike. Accelerate, brake, steer around traffic, and attack nearby opponents while trying to stay on the road.
Successful finishes provide money for faster motorcycles and improved equipment. The game includes a progression through multiple races and supports competitive two-player play on the same console.
Plan your run
Learn each course before attempting to win consistently. Brake early for bends and avoid unnecessary contact with traffic, since crashes cost more time than most attacks save.
Save money for a faster motorcycle when the current machine can no longer keep up. Attack only when a rival is alongside you, and use open road sections to build speed before overtaking.
Meet the cast
The motorcycle racer controlled by the player, competing through illegal road races and upgrading bikes over time.
Enemy racers who attack, block, and try to knock the player off the road during each race.
Before you begin
Use braking before corners instead of steering sharply at high speed.
Watch traffic and roadside obstacles as closely as rival riders.
Do not spend all available money on upgrades if a later motorcycle is within reach.
Road Rash II is a motorcycle racing and vehicular-combat game developed and published by Electronic Arts for the Sega Genesis in 1992. Players join an outlaw racing circuit where winning requires both speed and well-timed attacks against rival riders. Races take place on busy roads with traffic, hazards, elevation changes, and branching routes. The game is presented from a third-person perspective and emphasizes direct arcade-style control rather than simulation. Its aggressive racing concept, varied courses, and two-player support made it a well-regarded Genesis sequel, although its difficulty and collision-heavy races can be demanding.
