    If you can stomach the story problems, the spotty humor, and the lack of originality and simply focus on the gameplay, then you'll enjoy Roadkill for what it is... and addictive combination of two more inventive titles. [Nov 2003, p.104]
  2. The missions are well designed with sub goals available and there is plenty of area to explore.
  3. Rather than try to mimic any single driving combat game, RoadKill combines the best parts of every homicidal car game that has come before it to create a totally original concept.
  4. The streets are covered with activity and with very few slow downs. They best part is getting someone stuck on your car; this is where it gets fun.
  5. Once I adjusted to the controls and uncovered some new weapons, it started growing on me. By the end, I was loving it, with a wide range of gameplay, intense battles on the street, a consistently developing storyline, and enough weapons in the long run to give you the options you want.
  6. RoadKill is fueled by over the top gun-fire, ridiculously tricked out cars, and just the right amount of profanity to satisfy your desire for a little fun blowin’ sh*t up in a busy metropolitan environment.

    While its story and graphics lack pizzazz, Roadkill has something for everyone: action fans, racing fans, collection freaks, and serial killers can all find fulfillment here.
  8. If you think the idea of a game about driving around in a machine-gun-toting car while completely ignoring traffic laws and blowing away anything in your path sounds like fun, then you'll get it out of RoadKill.

Roadkill is an open world driving game with a clear focus on action. And the gameplay is the biggest strength of this game. It´s incredibly amusing to drive around the apocalyptic city, having shootouts with rival gangs and speeding through the fine designed missions. And the splitscreen multiplayer is over the top fun. Even if the story and dump humour are annoying at times, I would totally recommend this game to every genre fan! Full Review »
