Road Rashis a game series that's been around since the Sega Genesis, but this is its first  incarnation on the Nintendo 64. For its part, THQ has done a smashing job of bringing the brawling  motorcycle game into the world of 3-D.The game lacks much visual detail, but that lack allows a frame rate that never slows down, even when 10  or more bikers are on the road, hacking at each other and vying for the pole position. Like its ancestors,Road Rash 64presents two goals--winning road races, and abusing other riders, including cops in  pursuit. The crashes are spectacular. Sparks fly as bikes scrape along the pavement, and riders perform  aerial acrobatics as they fly off their hogs. Text messages also appear onscreen to notify players of who  caused whom to crash--a nice touch that is reminiscent of online multiplayer PC games.The game has two major classes of motorcycles: cruisers that are durable and fast on straightaways, and  sport bikes that are aerodynamic and nimble around turns. As players progress through a one-player game,  they will be invited to join one of two bike-centric gangs, supplying relative immunity from their brethren  during gameplay--unless you hit one of them first!The multiplayer mode offers a number of different options, including lap races, death match, tag, and  pedestrian hunting. While the single-player game is pure adrenaline fun,Road Rash 64with four  players is an experience not to be missed.In addition to thrilling sound effects,Road Rash 64has some very noisy, and very appropriate,  musical accompaniment from real recording artists such as Sugar Ray and the Mermen.--Jeff  YoungPros:Excellent in-game musicGreat control and fluid actionA cathartic, high-energy experience, especially in multiplayer modeCons:Graphics don't feature very detailed textures, even with expansion pack support
