This game is why I now have a 2006 Yamaha R6. ...True story.

That ending was epic, definitely one in a million. Fracking hilarious.

OMG, I used to play this game for hours, when I was in hs. what an awesome game. never got bored.

OMG one of the funniest RR2 endings ever! My personal favorite is when I finished the race successfully, my character is cheering along with all the other racers just past the finish line and as the camera pulls back, a car comes cruising down the road and wipes everybody out! It was hilarious.

12 years ago I gave the name "Lawson" to my cat (that still live with me) because at first levels in Road Rash II Lawson always won me

id love a modern version of this, great game

Hold down Up, C, A and start at the title screen then release. If you hear the YEAH! you'll start with the wild thing 2000.

There's now a MSU-MD hack of the game that adds CD quality audio & is absolutely sublime! It can be used on the Mega Everdrive Pro, Mega SD or various emulators. The music is simply fantastic, far better than the stock stuff, and it has the added benefit of allowing for the motorcycle engine noise to play with the music which wasn't possible before without turning off the music completely! Absolutely worth checking out for any and all Road Rash fans!

the game is actually harder with the wild thing no joke

That has got to be the single greatest ending sequence in existance.

the very first videogame ive ever played on the genesis

It's funny how the player and the bike seem to be connected by an invisible wire: If you run away from the bike, either backwards or forwards, the bike follows, dragging itself across the landscape.

I'll never forget this game playing it on my megadrive as a kid. I'd rush home from school just wanting to play it constantly. Still when I think what's my top five games I've ever played this is easily in that list for nostalgic reasons

Road Rash 64 was def my favorite, i remember playing that with my buddy for hours on end back in the day.

rr2 is better than 1 & 3

OMG!!!! I remember playing this back in the day! So freaking fun!

The crazy wild driving at the end followed by the awesome bikeless finish wins this. Wins this so hard.

I loved playing this as a kid so many memories

I am so glad that I found this channel. You do an excellent job and bring back so many memories for me. Please keep up the good work. Others could learn from your example.

One of my favorite Genesis games. I played this one all the time.

YES! This is the shit MAN, played this as a child, ride a bike for real now and the only thing missing's the chain!!!! BADASS GAME

Literally one of my favorite games growing up

never saw this video until today... amazing ending. CLASSIC classic game room

ahhhh, so many memories of kicking my brother's bike into an oncoming car.

I remember I went past the finish line flying so many times lol

that ending was the reason I loved this game when I was a kid. The random shit that happened was awesome.

I think this was my only Genesis game. But boy was this game a blast! Similar to Castlevania IV intro music, Road Rash II's title music got me pumped up to get on the road and kick ass. Being able to pick different states to race in each with their unique scenery, make the experience feel all the more real. Each of your opponents has their own personality, with different strengths and weaknesses. I love games which notice the little things. This is so true in Road Rash II. You can knock competitors into obstacles. You can beat up cops. Your can launch off hills flying through the air. You can run over people. The obstacles are appropriate for each state. Heck even the bikes keep going forward, after someone's been knocked off. This game is just too humorous. Me and my friend loved mimicking and making fun of video game sound effects like Street Fighter's Hadoken. We'd make up stupid phrases screaming All You Can, Coming Thru, and Hadoken. So naturally when we discovered the Road Rash dude wrecking and flying through the air like superman and screaming olioliolahhh we had to add that to our idiotic phraseology. Its also funny watching your dude trying to get on his broken bike and having it blow up, then watching him fly through the air screaming. This game may seem like just mindless fun, but there is actually some strategy to it. Like when should I upgrade my bike? Do I go with the next cheapest bike or should I wait and risk it getting an even better bike? If I do get an improved bike, do I have enough ability to handle it correctly? Yes the faster a bike you get the less competitors you'll deal with, but the more challenging the course will be. There is always a trade off in this game. So yeah, this a game which looks simple, but is actually quite complex and fun.

I loved Road Rash so much back in the day. I owned Road Rash 3 and played it all the time. These would be a great addition to Virtual Console

11 years too late but yeah I loved this as a kid! Playing it now on my newly acquired SEGA mini.

I love the music in these games :D

Dat ending :o nice one! & yeah, awesome game.

That ending is absurd. Well done. I put so many hours into this game.

That's the first noticeable glitch I ever saw in your review. Great review and funny ending.

YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!

Bought this game at a pawn store the other day, fucking awesome. It brought back many childhood memories, and it was just as fun as I remembered.

This brings back so many fond memories.......

one of my favorite games, this game was my childhood

I loved this game, so many hours playing it. miss them days

That ending was SICK - literally.

I played this one to death back upon it's release in 92, one of the handful of keepers for my Megadrive, still own it too!

i remember playing this game for hours straight with my brother.... ahhh good times

LOL nothing like cracking a few skulls to get the day started! I had a lot of fun playing this game back in the day.

The ending was just pure AWESOME!!!!

That ending was hilarious and this game is epic.

You have to time your punch to their swipe to take their weapons. Great game. Played it non-stop as a kid

One of my fav games ever on the Sega Mega Drive. I like 1, 2 and 3 pure quality.

ahhh the memories this review gave me of when i used to play road rash with my brother and my cousin. I wish I could get a genesis and get road rash 1. I used to think it looked amazing but now i still think its awesome. I always remember trying to get a club or chain from one of the police.

I remembered playing this game for the PC. It had live action cut scenes.

Oh man. My brother and I spent many days playing this game. The best game for the Genesis.

Thanks for taking me back to the past! This was one of my all-time favorite games from the 16-bit era.

this & EA hockey are still my all time favorite games

I remember you can run over pedestrians and actually hit buildings which is hilarious. Cut scenes were awesome too.

The ending to this video is.....one in a million, to say the least.

This game is why I'm buying a Sega Genesis today.

lol, i loved the ending

Oh god, I remember getting catapulted across the finish line from Road Rash 2. That is awesome.

they did keep making road rash for a few generations. would love to see it come back

This is my favourite KZfaq subscription.

i can remember playing the PS1 version of this game!! and i absolutely played the crap out of it! i still even got it after so many years.

that ending was amazing.

ahhh viper how the memorys of him pissing me off comes back

I actually love the music in this game, it helps make the game even wackier. And that is awesome. The only thing funnier than bike racers at fast speeds whacking each other with nunchaku, chains and billyclubs is if there's a cartoony "calm, cheerful Sunday drive" musical piece in the background. XD

I played one of the Road rash games on the PC. I loved to forcing the police and the other racers into passing cars =D. It's probably one of my all time favorite racing games.

That ending was awesome well done

Bring back old memories!Love this game!

Love that ending, I have road rash 3 and it kicks ass

as they swing their weapon you punch at same time you will steal the weapon.

I can't believe the cops put you in the trunk of the squad car! LOL! And WOW! ... winning the race by being THROWN off your bike and across the finish line ... classic!! LOL!

Such a great game. It so deserves a modern day remake... if they keep what was great about this game intact.

Haha dam hilarious game right here! Just got it boxed.

This game falls into my top 10 bets of ALL time. True Story: When this game first came out I went to my local blockbuster to rent it, found a copy, put the cartridge labeled " Road Rash II and when the Genesis started up, it was MADDEN!!!! FUCKING MADDEN!!!!! I almost cried since that was their only copy.

road rash and skitchin were my 2 fav games on the genesis!!!

I rented Road Rash for the Sega Saturn way back when with my cousin. We played it for 22 hours straight. I've always liked the Road Rash series and agree that it's time for an updated version.

Great game and possibly the best theme music ever! A classic.

i found road rash in my closet the other day and the whole time i was playing it i could just hear this guy talking in my head saying how awesome it was haha. this review was inevitable for classic game room.

I LOVE the Road Rash series

Love to see reviews of Road Rash 3 for Genesis and Road Rash 3D on the Playstation 1 Your Reviews are great and LOVE the Road Rash Series and Strike Series on the Genny

Greatest finish ever, at the end! That's a sense of humor you don't find in many games nowadays, eh?

loved this game so much

dude, im so happy im not the only one that feels that

That ending was great!

One of the best games I ever played

Just saw the ending. Agreed. Great way to end the review. I've been thrown off the bike and flown Superman style over the finish line a couple times. But, to play pinball like that was awesome. My favorite memory of this game series was a super rare glitch. Had a cop on my tail. Go running into a car. We both crash and burn. The engine just pans out, out, out as it can't determine if I lost via being arrested or via wrecking the bike. Wish I had video of that.

I still play this game just to listen to the Vermont music and hum along while strangling bikers with my chain

Now this is awesome! 6 to 7 SEGA Genesis games featured in 1 week! and to top it all off, a great ending! Ah! I am content! :)

Agh! My sweet childhood!

Love, love, LOOOOOOVVVVEEEE Road Rash 2, one of my favourite Megadrive games ever. My two favourite things to do in Road Rash... 1) Hit a hill just right to get some air and bounce off the roof of a car you were sure you would hit. 2) Run over a guy when he's trying to run back to his bike. Ahhhhh, needs a remake badly.

“After I hit that guy, I’m pretty sure he was knocked off balance and smashed by a car”. This is what makes road rash fucking awesome.

i played this for so many hours man its a wicked game

OMG!!! THE NOSTALGIA!! I loved this. But my SEGA doesnt work anymore :C

That is the funniest review i've ever seen, what a way to win that last race :D awesome

I once had Road Rash on the 3do, lots of fun!

My favorite racer on the Genesis... I like it even more than 3...

Nice review! Which game do you like better : Road Rash 2 or 3? And for what reasons?

I love this game so much

Holy crap that ending was beautiful!

Played all of the games in the series and II is easily the best imho.

I usually agree with Mark on these reviews, but saying the music is not that great for a Genesis game? Road Rash II as well as the other Road Rash games always had memorable 16 bit music... Its one of the main reasons I still play these Road Rash games today!

Another awesome review of an awesome game.

Road Rash with the Need For Speed: Shift engine? Man, that would be LEGENDARY!
