Road Rash & Mutant League Football

Kimo · 01-11-2007, 10:06 PM

The two best EA games EVER. EVER.

Road Rash, the first racing/combat game ever, also the first to actually look like you were racing up and down stuff.

Mutant League Football. Take American Football, merge it with war, and legalize MURDERING THE REF.

Discuss.

Penalty for picking your nose! I remember Mutant league well.. although I was much more fond of Hockey :P

Road Rash, ah the memories. I still have the game gear version as well. Oh and I just found my copy of the PS1 game. (Before it went to the horrible 3D ones). Gotta love the soundtrack,Soundgarden, Paw, Hammerbox and some others i'm probably forgetting. Those cutscenes were the best.

EA Replay for the PSP has both of these and a whole bunch of other games for twenty bucks. It's pretty good and worth it for Wing Commander and Mutant League alone.

Man, those Road Rash games were great. Nothing beats chilling with a motorbike and beating the living crap out of any guy who comes in your path.

Also, that EA Replay game MDRL recommended is pretty nice. Worth getting if you have the system and can't get/play the original games =D

Dude, I got two copies of it over the past Christmas and have been playing one nonstop over the past week.

I have the GB version of RoadRash, its like one of the 4 games that uses the 3d chip in the Gameboy and wont run on the Gameboy Color or Gameboy Advance because neither of those systems have that chip. It gets to the menu, and then it crashes.

Luckily I still have my gameboy pocket

I'm upset that they didn't continue the series. Road Rash for 3DO I believe was the best one out of the series and its sad that no one had a 3DO, let alone, could afford one at the time.

It did get ported to the Playstation, Sega Saturn, PC, etc...It was 700 dollars and had maybe a handful of good games. Anything that was worthwhile got ported to the saturn and ps1 anyway.

I loved the Mutant League games. Honestly, I wish they would do a 3d version of them to PWN the lousy Madden and NHL games!

How? They'd still be made by EA, and they'd still be terribly scripted games :'( Oh how sad I am from picking up a copy of FIFA this year...
Scripted you ask? My player shouldn't jump three meters to meet up with the ball, its a bit less obvious in Madden, means plays are supposed to be scripted like that...
I say we leave what was good in the past, in the past. Mortal Kombat anyone?

True, the fact that EA does own it is something that I forgot about. I wish somebody would come up with an awesome series like Mutant League. I still remember how awesome it was kill the goalie using an exploding puck in the hockey game.

I used to love Road Rash 2 & 3, though I didn't play much of the first. I remember going over my friends house, and playing them on Sega Channel back in 2nd or 3rd grade. Good times.

I also had the first PSX game, but it mysteriously vanished, just like my copies of Gex: Enter the Gecko, Mortal Kombat Mythologies, Metal Gear Solid, and Super Mario Advance

this thread makes me happy. TD pass to Scary Ice, baby.

worst moment of Road Rash...trying to take a weapon for an entire race, then grabbing...the oil can.
