Well im going to say it, as a fan of the Road Rash series RR on Sega CD is brilliant! Despite what people say it's really a step up from the others on the system. Is it worth the cost of buying the add-on probably not. Yes the full motion is grainy as can be, yes it's still a 16bit racer. Although there is significant improvements. Music and bike sounds in game. Changes to the gameplay with handling ect. More detailed scenery. Friends and foes that you can actually communicate with somewhat. I would have loved it back in 94. The music well sound garden is my sort of thing but guess you need to take the good with the bad.

You're correct! It was indeed a typo Gold, i meant to say Sound Garden "isn't" my type of thing. When i comes to music i think i have gotten into just about every genre.
Personally i think everything has it's place and skill although im not all that keen on Techno doof doof. In the mid 90's i liked Grunge and was massively bias towards Nirvana as a fan along with Alice in chains, Pantera and some older heavy metal/rock like Black Sabbeth, Jimmy Hendrix, Guns n Roses ect ect. Then i grew to like NY Hip Hop groups (basically anything as long as the artist/s had talent). The thing i really liked about Hip Hop was the lyrical talent. That was definitely lost after the 90's.
When it comes to Road Rash though, i think the Grunge sound is the perfect setting for that sort of game. I couldn't imagine a Heavy Metal, Techno or Hip Hop sound track when racing motor bikes, whilst bashing opponents with clubs and chains. Sounds like it could be fitting but I feel the setting of the game is a layed back grungy rebel like feel. And the cut-scenes kind of paint that picture.
Only problem i have with Sound Garden is i just never got into them. Thought they were just way over commercialized and i always liked the more obscure side of music. Same for Nirvana and even Hip Hop groups. Most people say yeah im a huge Nirvana fan but have only listened to a couple of their commercial songs, like Teen Spirit or Come As You Are. I was the one listening to their albums Bleach, In-Utero and Insecticide because they were actually the real grunge sound.
Anyway yeah i like all sorts, aslong as i see talent and not overrated. Most new stuff im really not a fan of though. And new Hip Hop/rap or whatever they call it these days i find an embarrassment to the 80s&90s classics. Doesn't matter what genre you're into it's easy to see when another goes downhill. I basically stopped following newer music after the 90's era.
Could go on for days about music lol.
