Comments
- Much as I love it, "fisticuffs" seems like an informal term for an encyclopedia.
- "worldwide locales" settings instead of locales.
- "need for a marketable feature" all things need to be marketable, was this more for "global" appeal?
- EA is overlinked in the infobox.
- Lead should probably mention motorcycle.
- "in third-place or" no need to hyphenate.
- "... third-place or higher among..." etc is a complicated sentence! Could you split it?
- "number of locales around" locations or settings.
- "access a bike shop" lots of "bike" in this sentence, at least ditch this one.
- "player may potentially purchase" why potentially? If they can afford it, presumably they can.
- "at a password entry screen" -> "at an entry screen"
- "Motorcycle cops" cop is a colloquial term, not encyclopedic.
- I don't think we need to link "helicopter".
- "repo man for the bike shop or a snitch" these terms could be linked though.
- "Breen serving as producer" no need for this serving.
- What's 3DO?
- What are "gameplay sprites"?
- What's Sega CD?
- complimented or complemented?
- Link Megadrive.
That's it on a quick review, so on hold. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 16:20, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

- ... that Road Rash 3 artist Michael Hulme created ten conceptual settings for the game before settling on seven? Source: ""I painted a bunch of concept styles from the different countries," Michael recalls. "The paintings were rough concepts. They were quick, storyboard-type things, and in four days, I had ten paintings done. I tried to get a different palette for each location so they felt different. There were ten originally, and then we whittled it down to seven in the end."" (Wallace, Mitch (April 2017). "The Making of: The Road Rash Trilogy". Retro Gamer. No. 166. p. 27)
