RoadKill

The people who brought you BloodRayne take on GTA. Uh oh.

Big guns, armored cars, gang warfare, dirty words?RoadKill has everything a politician could ever want in a negative example of video games. Of course, that doesn?t mean it?s not fun for car-combat maniacs who already have their driver?s license in real life.

Grand Theft Gameplay
Playing RoadKill is like driving through Stephen King?s The Stand. A killer plague has decimated the country, leaving chaos and martial law in its wake. Gunfire erupts every few blocks, and gangs openly engage in vehicular warfare. If you want to survive, you?ll load your guns and then gun the engine. Completing missions increases your status as a gangland hero and brings you closer to Paradise City. RoadKill is as mature as it gets?players experience gushing blood, revealing outfits, and three swear words before they even start driving. It also steals liberally and blatantly from Grand Theft Auto: switchable rock/1980s/rap/talk radio stations with licensed music, a garage for vehicle storage, killing sprees, crass humor (far more rude than in GTA?the character dialogue is funny but 100 percent adults-only), pick-up races, and huge city levels with plenty of nooks and crannies. Even the ?RIOT? meter acts like GTA?s wanted rating. Not that it?s a bad thing, but the ?inspiration? is a little too obvious.

Hell on Wheels
Detailed textures and a fast frame rate let you savor the disturbing damage, and the precise controls never fail. And although RoadKill lacks a little polish in presentation (you?ll switch between driver and gunner positions without warning), the fast action and pleasing carnage make it worth checking out for the intended, over-18 audience.
