November 27, 2019: I'm looking at the tax on my salary when Italy theme pops into my head seemingly at random, despite not having heard it since playing this game as a kid in the 90's. Glad I was able to find it and confirm it was from this game. The human mind is weird.
@@shane__8015 it took a lot of effort to kill it off. First, the dreadful RR3 SMD and SCD games, then the crap 3D0 game with PSX and Saturn ports. Then Road Rash 3D, Road Rash: Jailbreak. Pure trash, each and every one.
Gotta add, Brazil theme is literally a Heavy Metal remix of a Jazz song by legendary composers Jaco Pastorius/Herbie Hancock. (Kuru Speak Like a Child) Yep, on a Genesis game. Just insanely awesome.
Ah, Brazil. By far my single favorite Genesis tune without debate. The build up of it is pretty grand, personally like how at one point you could hear all the instruments at it go head to head (including the chirps) and as a result, you could tell that the Composer was going balls crazy.
Holy shit. Talk about cyclical discovery: - As a kid, Brazil was my favorite song in the entire game. - Parents listened to Weather Report as I was growing up. - Didn't really start getting into Weather Report until a few years ago. - Find out a song I loved as a kid was ripped off from a musician I grew up listening to and now love because the devs loved his work too. This is a small, small world we live in.
Hell yeah man! My brother and I would play this all the time. We would knock the cop down and park our bikes on him for an endless loop of "ooh oh oh ah ah ooh ah" Need to find that sound byte haha.
This game has given me the urge to knock down motorcycle cops with a club. Shortly before I do that I realize that doing so would have terrible real life consequences... XD
Few things in video games are as cathartic as knocking opponents from their bikes in Road Rash, specially when it's the cops, there's something about beating the cops that makes it more fun than beating the other opponents.
Maybe a little too far, I think a lot of the game was kind of a downgrade from Road Rash 2. You had the new gameplay features but I think it is the worst performing game of the three, you can almost count the frame rate on one hand... may have been too ambitious, and it's surprising that it was so bad after Skitchin, which is the smoothest of the "Road Rash" games.
This was the first game I played that had a Brazil stage (My home country) and I freaked the fuck out, I never thought I'd ever see Brazil in any video game ever. Actually, before that there was street fighter, but I kinda fucking hated it, all other countries get cool ass characters, and we got a fucking monster XD.
That part at the 1:50 ish mark sounds less like midi notes played in a scripted sequence and more like they were taking input from a player on a actual drumset that was triggered up. Really bizarre and cool
Yes! Also considering digital drumsets might have already had MIDI capability back then, either that or Don Veca sequenced this with a lot of care and attention to detail to make it sound "humanized".
this game sounded and felt very... experimental, even though it was the third installment of the Road Rash series. Its compressed sprites and gritty, crunchy sound effects didn't seem polished at all. With that said, I really love this game. The soundtrack, the tracks, the gameplay, it all felt great when playing.
Fantastic game, even with it's faults. The brutal frame rate made avoiding oncoming obstacles almost impossible sometimes, and I could've done with a few more countries - but you can't complain with a Genesis game with this quality and scope. Nevertheless the sound is a big part of the draw, making it the most appealing of the three to me.
What's interesting about this Road Rash ost is that it is the first to use PSG squares accompanying the FM instruments. In general I think Road Rash 3 had the best music although the title themes of the first two were pretty good aswell with those 80's Robert Palmer drum samples. Close call but I still think 3 is the best musically.
Badass soundtrack with some dope compositions but some instrumentations could have been "beefier". I also like how the Japan & Italy tracks are based on folk songs, respectively Sakura Sakura & Tarantella Napoletana (do the others tracks are based on anything?).
That's one of the little problems with FM synthesis, since it's based on a root frequency + its higher harmonics it's really hard to get a "fat" sound with a lot of crisp harmonic overtones. I wish western developers had caught on to the way Hitoshi Sakimoto did it--your music's root notes are in very low octaves (low frequencies) which then you can turn up the MULT on the other operators to get richer harmonic overtones while keeping that "fatness." The problem with the patches on games like this is they want to get that electric guitar crunch and it gets dangerously close to thin digital noise.
Thanx for the explanation. I've yet to get into Mega Drive music composition (it's planned) but until then I like all these details. Thunder Force IV has some pretty beefy guitar sounds, some of my fav' on the system.
Not as good as the first two game's OSTs thanks to the thinner sounding instrument choices imo, but I'll say, these compositions are FANTASTIC. I especially love the title, Italy, and Tokyo themes. In fact, I wonder how this might sound with Rob Hubbard's instruments in his driver. (Not just instruments from the Road Rash games, this includes John Madden Football, Desert Strike, and others)

Brazil= Carnival
UK= Rule Britannia
Germany= Rosamundo
Italy= Tarantella
Tokyo= Sakura
Kenya=Tribal drums
Australia=???
Thanks ! I was really looking for Rosamunde. I think the Australian theme is entirely original. (Not 100% sure)
1:33 lol, insane drum solo xD!!

It's blasphemy that this series is dead....wtf actually

Almost 25 years and I still remember " UUF 5UNS" for the Black Bike. Awesome childhood
Best soundtrack of the trilogy on Genesis. Big reason why it's my favorite of the series.
me too !!
No way m this sounds much worse and is the worst sounding of the trilogy.
@@Adamtendo_player_1 Hard disagree.

@@MikeJackson690 Yes !!! love that part
вернулся на 30 лет назад! СПАСИБО! :) очень крутая тема на 13-ой минуте!
20:18... To this day I still find myself humming the hook from this track.
It's actually a part of a classic italian dance piece. The gerne is tarantella but I can't remember the name.
@@needmorebrain Tarantella Napoletana
The bassline on that Brazil theme is lifted straight out of Jaco Pastorius' "Kuru/Speak Like a Child" from his self-titled album.
wow that's interesting
On a similar note, the riff in the Germany theme starting at 17:18 feels way too close to Return To Forever's "The Magician" to be a coincidence.
Holy shit. Talk about cyclical discovery:

Electronic Arts made such amazing games for the Genesis.
I love how the songs in this game sounded like engine and road sounds

Though I think the better performance of Skitchin has to do with the fact that it doesn't have 3D hills, and that might hurt a Road Rash game.

For the hardware available at the time, EA pulled a home run. Phenomenal game.
Agreed !!!
Ty man. Brought back so many memories and battles with Lucky Luc, public enemy#1, belladonna, madame X etc
After so many years I just realized that P. E. No. 1 means that
@@guillermofrancella08 I asked my mom what it meant one day while playing this game. I always called her 'PENO' until that day. Understandable bro 😄
1. Start up Road Redemption.
2. Turn music volume down.
3. Load this video, set to loop.
4. Crack skulls all day long.
Thought about this game today after last playing it about 20 years ago. Great highway driving music.
Nothing beats hitting your opponents with weapons to throw them off there bikes. Ahh yes the 90s
as a drummer, i think germany's is the coolest
Listen to fast as a shark by Accept. Always got the same vibe.

It's entirely possible, according to this, Don Veca coded his own MIDI-based sound driver www.vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php/Don_Veca

I think what it is was that RR3 really pressed the limits of the sega genesis hardware at the time
The first section of the Italy theme from 20:24 to 20:48 is a little reference to the opening of Movement 4 of Mendelssohn's Italian Symphony
Man that Brazil track is a banger even in today
It sure is, my favorite
