Summary:
This was the first Road rash game made for a nintendo system. It has good graphics except the background. The background looks foggy. If you have the expansion pack, it will make the background look slightly better.
On Road Rash 64 you race against about ten different bikers. You must finish in 1st,2nd, or 3rd to qualify. You must qualify on several races on five levels.
You get weapons on this game. One of which is a lugwrench. The Fuzz chases you and if they catch you, you get arrested. The cops yell at you. Sometimes they yell "Put your hands up!" This made the cops look dumb. Cops can't expect bikers to put up their hands when they're driving 150MPH on a motorcycle.
I also liked that if you run your bike in a lake on N64 RoadRash, you don't get wrecked like on the 3DO & Playstation versions.
I thought this was a very good game and I rate it high.

Summary:
This is an amazing improvement from the sega genesis and playstation versions. There are almost no flaws in the game, and Ive been hooked for months. This is BY FAR my favorite game of all time.

Summary:
This is truly the BEST Road Rash game ever! WAAAAAAAY better than Road Rash 3D!
Lots of bikers, lots of cops, lots of weapons, lots of fighting, what more could you ask for! I just love beating up on the cops! There's also a multiplayer mode (Which Road Rash 3D didn't have the testicle fortitude ot have) where up to 4 players can knock the crap out of each other! In other words, THIS GAME IS A MUST BUY FOR N64 OWNERS EVERYWHERE!!!

Summary:
Road Rash was one of the first series to take a stab at vehicular combat, certainly the first to succeed at it. Unlike the recent batch of Twisted Metals and its uninspired derivatives, which are commonly associated with the “vehicular combat” genre, Road Rash fuses actual racing with combat. So it isn’t just a fighting game with cars (or motorcycles as the case may be). It’s definitely a fun concept, but unfortunately EA has handled the series with as much care as the rashers do with each other. The series peaked with the first installment (known to most as the Tomb Raider syndrome) and began a slow, but noticeable degradation. Then come Saturn and PlayStation the series had become a ghastly wreck. Leading up to Road Rash 64, not even developed by EA, but instead by the upstart THQ. How did they handle this once venerable franchise?

In short, if you enjoy the exaggerated antics of the latest Road Rash games, then you could potentially enjoy this. I think it would be an amusing game to rent for awhile, but take my advice, do not buy it. This is one of those games you will play nonstop for a week and never touch again.
