Play Rock n' Roll Racing Online

Summary

Rock n' Roll Racing blasts you into an isometric, four‑lap showdown where up to two players can battle three AI opponents on wildly sloped tracks. The game’s charm comes from its over‑the‑top metal soundtrack – think Deep Purple’s "Highway Star" and Black Sabbath’s "Paranoid" – which was added after Interplay swapped the original RPMII concept for a rock‑heavy vibe. As you barrel around each planet, you’ll dodge oil slicks, lava pits and snow drifts while firing forward blasts or rear mines, earning attack bonuses each time you land the finishing blow. Between races you spend the cash you’ve racked up on upgrades – engines, tires, shields, and extra weapon charges – though any new car you buy wipes those tweaks clean. A quirky password system records every detail of your progress, from vehicle color to money, but it caps savings at $999,990, so hoarding beyond that simply vanishes. The ever‑enthusiastic commentator Loudmouth Larry shouts out every crash and lead change, adding to the chaotic fun. Critics loved the combo of rock anthems and frantic combat, earning it an 88/100 from Official Nintendo Magazine, a Best Driving Game award from EGM, and a spot on several top‑SNES lists.
