Road Rage

Being a fan of EA’s long forgotten Road Rash series, all it took for me to be interested in giving Road Rage a go was knowing that it was a game all about motorcycles and violence.

The game's story is widely criticized for being shallow, poorly executed, and largely absent, with many players noting that it consists mainly of repetitive missions and minimal narrative development. Voice acting is described as inconsistent, and the reliance on text messages for storytelling detracts from the overall experience. While some players found enjoyment in the gameplay despite these flaws, the consensus is that the story fails to engage or provide meaningful content.
- “The story is a bit out there at times, the voice acting ranges from decent to truly suspect and the odd glitches can be hilarious.”
- “All the game's story and missions are handed out via cell phone texts.”
- “You can drive around an open world between missions, but there isn't anything to do in it except explore its boring atmosphere.”
- “This game is literally a repetitive hell; the whole game is just playing the same missions over and over in the same areas.”
- “The 'story' is awful; in the beginning of the game they tried, but later on they got so lazy that it is almost nonexistent.”
- “There are no other cutscenes in the game as far as I can tell; you get the rest of your plot from terribly voiced-over text messages on a PNG of a phone.”

- “Yes, it’s combat on a motorcycle, yes they put a ton of weapons in it and the customization - the aesthetic part of it, not bad!”
- “Graphics and soundtrack...”
- “There is no rebinding of keys, there are zero graphic settings, you can't even change the resolution and the first time you start the game it'll be in windowed mode.”
- “No fullscreen or graphics option or configurable keys found either.”
- “No option to change graphic settings in game, actually pretty much no options at all apart from getting a refund which I'm doing; not worth 1.99 on sale.”
