A Road Rash Clone, but you get guns. What I enjoy about the game is that it features the same antics in racing that one gets out of Road Rash. While it is important to get a higher position, in this game, it gives more focus on attacking other cyclists. That being said, it has alternate modes that it goes into that wasn't in prior Road Rash games I had played (granted the last I played was Road Rash for Windows 95, which was the same version on the 3DO console). There are some odd places you travel, one being a path that features cars raining from the sky, and the player must dodge them. Also, I find it interesting that such a game was authored in Unity3D; it is really proving how the technology is progressing.

Unfortunately, the game has some quirks. Granted it is a mere "arcade" feel game, it doesn't focus on how a motorcycle or a car would actually travel on the road. This is a mere notice as many people buy into games such as Mario Kart where they do not implement natural turning of a vehicle, but rather the rear of the vehicle pivots. (contras this to say Tux Kart which gives a better example of how turning occurs with vehicles).

Additionally, the game has bugs where it randomly crashes on the Linux platform, typically after permanent experience level ups are awarded after dying. Also, I'm not sure if it is a bug, but I've seen "cars" identified as "npc" enemies that are holding position in the race, and I'm supposed to attack them. Again, maybe this is on purpose? But I haven't contacted the developer to see.

At any rate, I have to give serious marks down on stability on the Linux platform, but overall, the game has a fun factor. I have to recommend it at this time, but as time progresses, if these issues are not addressed, I will change my rating to negative; not because I want to as its a great game, but if the game does not work, what does one really have?
