The vehicle physics in the game are seriously forgiving. The fact that you can't leave your vehicle (unless it blows up and sends your corpse flying) is indicative of RoadKill's relative simplicity in comparison to Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City. You'll deal with your enemies by means of those guns and various other weapons, such as bombs and rockets. There's no on-foot action in RoadKill you're almost always behind the wheel of a tricked-out machine-gun-toting car, though sometimes, you'll get to man the swivel turret mounted on the back. All these places are ruled over by vicious gangs, and Mason will align himself with some and battle head-on against others over the course of the game's story missions, all while earning better and better vehicles, more money, and more prestige. RoadKill's single-player mode puts you as Mason first in the city of Lava Falls, then in Blister Canyon, then in the fabled Paradise City-where the grass is green and the girls are pretty, though it's also seemingly the last vestige of decent civilization. Those who didn't die from this disease descended into savagery-the world has degenerated into full-scale, anarchic warfare, and only the meanest and most ruthless can hope to survive for long in this postapocalyptic wasteland. In the game, you play as a tough guy with a tough name: Mason Strong, who's one of humankind's few survivors of a disease called the rot. Add a dash of The Road Warrior, to taste. Recipe for RoadKill: Stir together one part Grand Theft Auto III and one part Twisted Metal: Black, and microwave on high.
The game is filled with plenty of fast, violent action, and while it would be easy to dismiss it as an attempt to cash in on the success of Grand Theft Auto (which, in fact, it is), to dismiss RoadKill would be to overlook RoadKill. What's most important, though, is that RoadKill is fun to play. Yet, the game manages to have a bit of its own style and feel to it, despite how most of its elements are clearly derived from other games. It's even got a dash of The Road Warrior thrown in for good measure. Combining the over-the-top vehicle design and pure shooting action of Twisted Metal: Black with the free-form gameplay, clockwork environments, radio-style soundtrack, and sheer audacity of Grand Theft Auto III or Vice City, RoadKill will appeal to fans of any of these games. If you've played Grand Theft Auto and Twisted Metal, then it would be easy to describe RoadKill to you as a combination of the most recent entries in these series of games. But RoadKill, which offers an ideal car-to-gun ratio, doesn't stop there with the flavor combinations. Cars and guns go together like peanut butter and jelly.at least when it comes to games.
