Awesome weapons

There are many types of weapons to choose from. I like the cluster rocket, laser trip mine, scatter gun, homing missile, minnie gun, and EMP. You can go airborne.

Fun at first, but the novelty rapidly fades

Road Kill is a game with self explanatory title and general plot line. You are Mason Strong, a complete nobody that has a talent for operating any and all manner of car, truck, and van etc. Also, each vehicle has its various strenghs and weaknesses (as is the case with any sort of video game). For extreme destruction impluses that a gamer may have, this title can address those very handily. Any vehicle you have in your possession is capable of causing intense mayhem and general grief on anyone unlucky enough to get in the way.

Great Game!!!

This game is for anyone who loved Twisted Metal and also those who enjoyed Grand Theft Auto. Just up your expectations a little because this title offers tons of vehicles, unique game play, and crazy missions.

Excellent waste of time!

For 19.99, you CANNOT go wrong with this game. Heed the 'M' rating, because it is rude, crude and lewd, lots of gore (pedestrians often get stuck in/under your vehicle and get dragged, while their blood actually spatters the screen for a few seconds), so say "No" to the kiddies. This game is basically what it claims to be on the box, "Twisted Metal: Black meets GTA...". Gameplay is 80% TM:B , 10% Mercenaries, and 10% GTA - Almost all the missions are driving missions with no car-jacking, but with PLENTY of mayhem and crazy car physics ala the TM series, plus faction specific vehicles and a turret gunner ala 'Mercenaries'. The "cities" you drive around in (there are only 3) are small compared to GTA, but if you consider them "Arenas" for TM, they are huge. The radio is mediocre unless you are listening to the scripted/original talent. The Fuzz Bros. songs are mullet-topped head and shoulders above Love Fist's from GTA. I can't get 'Deathmatch' out of my head. Any detractor can say it lacks originality because it mimics those other game's features, but it preceeded GTA: San Andreas and Mercenaries by almost 2 years. Driving + Shooting = FUN!!!!!

Twisted, stand aside

I have seen a few blasts go at this one because it is VERY mature, it isn't twisted metal yet it isn't GTA. Who cares? It is the NEXT evolution of car combat, and congrats and bravo to Terminal Reality for raising the bar on car combat. This one is a keeper for sure.

Great Game!!!!!

Total vehicular mayhem! Great graphics, better music, overall awesome destruction. Wish there were more character choices, but the rest of the game makes up for it. Recommend to those who loved playing twisted metal.

Nicely open-ended

What's great about this game is that you can pretty much ignore the missions for as long as you need to and just perform randoms acts of violence. It would have been great if there was a way for you to switch weapons, as opposed to using the last item you picked up.

Roadkill=awesome

Although I'd like to write a long review about how awesome Roadkill's graphics and missions are, or about how great the gameplay is (all of which are true), I think the sweetness of Roadkill should just be summed up by one event in the game... getting a pedestrian caught on your bumper and dragging him to his death. Genius. I love it

A Total Surprise

I first rented this title to see how I would like it. After about five hours, I returned the game to my videostore, marched to EB and bought my own copy. The pitch is that it's a mix of Grand Theft Auto and Twisted Metal and it delivers a perfect mix of the two while integrating enough of its own unique flavor to keep things interesting.

I have to say, I was completely blown away by how deep and well executed this game is. The graphics are outstanding (especially the explosions), the car control is perfect for the type of game it is. The missions are well designed and lots of fun. The cut scenes are hilarious.

I think I'm about two thirds through the single player mission sequences with about 15 hours played so far. That said, there's tons of things for me to still find in the environments outside of the actual missions.

I spent six hours straight playing the multiplayer modes with friends the other night and this has IMMEDIATELY become our favorite multiplayer game. We haven't had this much fun with multiplayer games since Goldeneye back on the N64.

About the only caveat I have is that this is a SUPER mature title. The profanity and gore is off the charts. It is definitely not a title for the kiddies.
