Top Gear are running a list of their Top 10 Racing Games... and I'm delighted to reveal that
Road Rash 2 made the list. This game totally changed the way I looked at racing games: you had to
a) race
b) use clubs and chains and feet and fists to knock opponents off their bikes
c) avoid the police
and
d) race.
After that, whenever I played Need For Speed I kept trying to locate the rocket-launcher button.
