5.0 out of 5 stars Better than GTA and Twisted Metal, October 20, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: RoadKill (Video Game)

Road Kill is aweseome, I have GTA and Twisted Metal and I can say that this game beats them both and has better maps and interaction with the world, the missions are cool.

The radio stations and animations between the missions are hilarious and the choice of vehicles you can drive is huge and they respond in a very realistic way.

I rate this game 9/10. It's going to be a big hit.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST XBOX TITLE !!!!, January 5, 2004

Noam Junior (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: RoadKill (Video Game)

Roadkill takes some of the best elements from video games, sci-fi action movies, and dark comedy to create one of the best games in my collection.
The plot mixes Road Warrior and the Stand; a deadly plague has apparently wiped out everyone who wasn't completely insane . You are the lone hero fighting car gangs in the post-apocalyptic southwestern USA. In single player you fight through a plotline revolving around control of paradise city, a fascist empire reminiscent of Las Vegas in the Stand.

The gameplay is twisted metal meets grand theft auto, fighting various enemy gang vehicles and foot soldiers from a variety of vehicles you unlock by completing missions and collecting car parts from secret locations. The cars are progressively faster and upgrades are available to perform cool stunts. Firing from the car with a variety of weapons, you can shoot forward with missiles, machine guns, and a flack cannon , or drop mines and bombs then quickly look back to see the results.

Roadkill appears to be ported from the play station 2 to the xbox, so the graphics are on par with the playstation 2, not up to graphics quality of the newest xbox games for sure

The graphics are cartonishly violent and some of the cut scenes are darkly hilarious, as are the various talk radio stations available on the car radio. My favorite was the takeoff on public radio's Cartalk, where the hosts discuss the pros and cons of the various weapons you can pick up in the game,: informative and entertaining .Midway did a great job in every aspect of Roadkill.

4.0 out of 5 stars My inner child has been damaged, December 6, 2003

"snookydog" (Dirty South) - See all my reviews

This review is from: RoadKill (Video Game)

Roadkill sets a precedent for being the most violent, tasteless, foul languaged piece of binary entertainment on the market...I love it. This game to summize is "BUST", "CRUNK", "PHAT" and a bag of potatoe chips!

This is Twisted Metal taken to the next level. Graphics on the Xbox are a little granular but gameplay is easy to master and fun. Missions are non-linear, so you can putz around cappin fools before you do some dirty work

Get this game if you want something fresh that will grab you by the poopoo! The best 39.99 I ever spent
