Description

Red Asphalt incorporates both racing elements and combat. Using a skillful combination of both, your objective is to overcome your opponents and face off against Draenek in the Arena of Death — the fifth and final world. There are 24 tracks in all, spanning apocalyptic city streets and other futuristic settings.

Before your dangerous journey begins, you’ll need to choose one of six different characters to play as. Each comes with three varying abilities; the driving skill affects a character’s handling ability and top speed, tactical affects weapon lock-on times and aggression is that character’s strength. Among the characters is the dangerous Motormouth that thrives on death and annihilation; Thula Crimstone, a future leader of the Starian Empire; Jackal, a war-torn being that wishes to destroy all those that bring war against his people; and the spiritual Hiroki. Throughout the game, they’ll earn experience points that increase ability points.

Red Asphalt

Released in 1998 by Interplay Entertainment, Red Asphalt (known in Europe as Rock & Roll Racing 2: Red Asphalt) is a gritty, futuristic vehicular combat game. Serving as the 32-bit spiritual successor to the beloved 16-bit classic Rock N' Roll Racing, the game shifts from a colorful isometric perspective to a dark, post-apocalyptic 3D sci-fi universe. Players enter a deadly galactic championship across hostile alien worlds, competing against brutal rivals under the watchful eye of the oppressive Onyx empire to claim ultimate racing supremacy.

Gameplay Features & Mechanics

Red Asphalt blends high-speed racing with brutal combat and deep RPG elements. Players choose from six distinct characters, including the balanced Jackhal, the aggressive Dark, and the agile Corvette, each boasting unique statistics like Driving, Offense, and Defense that improve with earned experience points. The campaign spans 24 treacherous tracks across five hostile worlds, such as the molten wasteland of Inferno and the icy terrain of New Antarctica. Players pilot highly customizable, futuristic combat machines ranging from nimble hovercrafts to heavily armored tanks. Success requires mastering tight cornering, avoiding track hazards, and managing weapon payloads. Cash earned from podium finishes is spent upgrading chassis armor, engines, suspension, and offensive armaments, including homing missiles, rear-deployed proximity mines, and protective energy shields.
