![]() Since you don't have the benefit of multiple laps to help you regain ground when you make a mistake, there's a palpable sense of tension whenever you see a car up ahead or brush too close to the trees at the side of the road. Whoever is in first place at the end of the stage wins. Rather, they're segments set between a starting line and a finish line. Unlike in most racing games, the stages in Road Rash: Jailbreak aren't laps. When you pull up close to other riders, you can take a swing at them with a length of chain. It's fun (and sometimes challenging), but you don't have to think too hard in order to play it. ![]() Road Rash: Jailbreak is enjoyable in the same way that a popcorn movie is enjoyable. Along the way, you can kick your fellow riders to the curb, take swings at them with a lead pipe, or make their lives difficult with the napalm and oil items scattered along the highway. You're a convict with a motorcycle, and your only goal is to reach the end of each stage ahead of everyone else. The story is so light you could fit it onto a Post-it note, and the action is not broken by silly things like missions or cash runs. It's in this sense that Road Rash: Jailbreak is a game for guys who like games. That's a clever way of saying that you're more likely to see gunfights, sucker punches, and explosions when you tune in on a Saturday night, rather than something plot-heavy like Beaches or One Fine Day. For many years now, TBS Superstation has billed itself as the TV network that shows movies for guys who like movies.
