Just what I wanted

I'm a big fan of car combat style games, and this game really hit the spot for me. You won't be able to play Twisted Metal after you try this. The missions are varied, controls are great and talk radio is hysterical. Most missions put you behind the wheel, while others have you manning the machine gun turret. The AI is very good, for example if you hang around too much in one spot, your rival gangs will find you and strat coming down on you pretty hard, so the game forces you to keep moving. The story is your average post-apocalypse B-movie, but that's what these games are all about, right? :)

Just be aware that this game fully takes advantage of its "M" rating: it's extremely violent and language is not for the faint of heart or the young'uns.

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.

Amazing Vehicles

The control you get over the vehicles in this games is amazing, it blows GTA away, I am totally addicted to this game, the first 45 minutes was questionable I wasn't sure what was going on but as soon as I started to play the missions the whole game changed, it's very cool.

At the start of each mission there are very funny cut scenes that are outrageous and as you progress through it the vehicles and weapons get better an better.

The really amazing thing is I am finding myself simply driving around and doing jumps and tricks and ignoring the missions, driving the cars is so much fun you will forget about the missions totally.

This game gets 5 stars from me! Total addiction is the name of this game.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great Game!!!

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.
