Disregard the two star review below. I stumbled upon this game at the retro shop buried in a paper CD sleeve under a bunch of junk that had been there for years. I took it home, and fell in love with it. One of the most charming games I've ever played, and now among my favorites of all time. This game doesn't satisfy like a traditional video game. This transcends video games and goes into just downright entertainment. The gameplay is a primitive form of the type of gameplay in God of War boss battles, where you are prompted to press a certain button at the right time. As I said though, this is more of a movie than a game. The controls get you involved into it, and it all comes together for one very charming, entertaining experience.
Road Avenger is a gem. A highly recomended gem among the coal heap that is Sega CD FMV games.
Edit: There is a code that you can use to just be able to watch the film without having to press any buttons.
From the Game Start screen, move Up to Options and press Start. With the cursor on the Players option, press A, A, A, A, A, B. Exit the Options screen and start the game. Relax and enjoy
Road Avenger was one of the games Sega used to promote the Sega CD system on its launch. You can see why when looking at clips from the game. The graphics are wonderful and to the naive it would seem looks like a living anime cartoon that you can control. But looks can be deceiving.
The story had you play as an ex-cop who is out to avenge the death of his new wife, who was driven off the road by a gang of Mad Max style bandits. The game is a first person driving game but not in the usual style of Out Run or Formula One or such. In fact, all you were required to do was to push the control pad in the right direction.
As the car you drove would pass through varied territories like urban down town, the forest, desert canyons etc a direction (either up, left, right or brake) would appear on the screen. If you push that direction the car would continue on its rampage, otherwise you would crash with a generic death animation.
It was fun if you got the game right and the car would tear through buildings and stuff, while scared pedestrians would look on in amazement. The music was also cool and I wish Sega released a soundtrack CD as some of the level tunes and the main theme song were great.
Sadly, Road Avenger was about no more than pushing buttons. It was the most linear game I have ever played. Even if you chose what direction the car took it would have been slightly re-playable. But it wasn't.
this game is so much fun to play. its like your part of a live anime movie. this game is very unique in that way, not many other live anime play as fun as this one. you just need to have quick reflexes in order to play this game through. this game is also available for the iphone as a download for $4. i highly recommend that version for its a retouched HD quality. graphics!!!
