Once depleted, the bike becomes wrecked and the race is lost. Bikes also have a damage meter, which signifies the performance level of the bike. To make the game challenging and unpredictable, the player will have to constantly manage their stamina meter, who will when depleted cause the driver to fall to the ground, causing the time penalty during which driver pickups their bike and starts driving again. To make the races even more difficult, the tracks are set on public roads with the regular presence of car traffics, roadside animals (cows, deer), and trees.

The game also features a large selection of melee weapons such as clubs and chains. When near opponent, players can with a push of the button punch them, and with another button, the combination can perform backhand punch or even a leg kick. The main difference between Road Rush game races and those present in other arcade or sim racers is the presence of hand-to-hand combat. To make the game appealing to a modern audience, the developers from Electronic Arts have placed the game into virtual California, building five distinct levels in a number of California locales (Pacific Coast Highway, San Francisco, Sierra Nevada, and Napa). Road Rash is an innovative fusion of motorcycle-racing and combat racing, allowing players to participate in illegal street races where drivers are fighting against each other not only with speed but also with their fists! Originally debuted on Sega Genesis in 1991, Road Rash arrived on PC in 1996 where it achieved a notable success.
