Can't return to the original after playing it this wayPaintbox2022-10-09Version 1.1

Amazing work with this, huge improvement to one of my favourite games of all time. I hope that in future the first game that I love so much and if possible the flawed sega CD version can get the same treatment as it's hard now to return to these when 2 & 3 are this good now. But I'm grateful either way as there is thousands of hours ahead playing with these fixes already and the other great hacks they have released. Can't thank Ti enough for this and keep up the great work!

This is just amazing, I cannot go back to vanilla now. The better framerate is enough improvement, everything else sweetens the package.

Now that RR2 and RR3 received this treatment, I hope the original comes next, because it really needs it.

Major improvement overall, just a few bugs here and therePaolo2022-09-25Version 1.0

This is a HUGE difference compared to the original, especially on that higher FPS. It managed to go even further having SEGA CD support, and 6-buttons support. I did encounter two problems, nothing that really bother the player, but it's a minor inconvenience. In one moment i did go to the bike shop and was searching for the bikes, but i ended being there for about 20 or 30 seconds, which resulted in a very annoying noise on the music that's way too loud. Other is just a nitpick though: The music plays too fast during fade-in/fade-out transitions. Other than that, very impressive work indeed!

One of the best just got better2spaz2022-09-21Version 1.0

Major improvement of a timeless classic.. For any Rash fan this is a must have.. The fps boost alone makes this hack worth it, amazing work..

It really improves FPS rate making the game run a lot smoother and improving the overall experience even without overclocking. Unfortunately while I was playing, the game froze and showed a screen telling something about an "unexpected exception" but this happened only once. Other than that, it runs just fine and it takes Road Rash 2 to a whole new level. Great hack!
