Summary
Welcome to the most insane racing sport ever created!
This is a cutting-edge vehicular combat racing game set in the not-so-distant future. The game thrusts you into the role of a Road Warrior. While racing for fame and fortune, you compete over 12 different Road War Association (RWA) sanctioned racetracks. Winning races results in increased notoriety and funds with which to upgrade and customise your vehicle. Various weapons and armour may be purchased, as well as better wheels, engines and a wide range of special add-ons.
Road Wars is different from other games of this genre due to a number of reasons: in this game, you choose to play one of twelve characters. Each character drives his or her own unique car. Not only do the cars have different characteristics, but the characters do as well. Certain characters will receive special treatment in the game. One such character is a mechanic who receives discounts when repairing and buying items in the garage. Others hold grudges and will be out to get you if you mess with them during a race. This also enables the game AI to give the characters strong personalities with which to put some original aspects into the game.
The single biggest difference is that each race has repercussions on your character and vehicle. If your car gets severely damaged during a race, you have to pay to fix it for the next race. If you do not have enough money, you have to race damaged or hold off on buying new weapons or equipment.
The game also has interactive tracks. The track fights against you in addition to the other cars you are racing against. Blowing up certain areas of the track sometimes reveals shortcuts. There are also weapons effects that affect your driving, like a smoke screen that really works and much much more...
