I completed the game on the PC version. Years later I picked up a used PS1 copy for my PS2 but it was lame in comparison, that version never played videos when completing a race or crashing like the PC version did. It was so funny after crashing or coming in last when the guy in the car would drag your body out of the way so he could drive off or when it showed you as the rider falling over in the parking lot and all the other racers laughing at you. (almost like a BARF social gathering)
My only hope that one day EA makes as cool as a game for the next gen consoles.

Now With Video !
And now a "Video Game Classic"

Now With Video... If any body is still interested, I can write-up a story on how the shooting of the "live action" sequences went. It was a blast, and I am proud to have been part of it. Budman and I knew each other threw racing but never actually worked "together" on this. He did the indoor static shots, and I (along w/others) did the actual riding, in several locations, La Honda, San Fran, East bay hills and San Jose by the airport approach. Good Times !Ok so here is the story..behind the claim to fame or whatever..
I was hired by Fujioka Studio's to do the Road Rash II cover shot..I am the guy in red..Randy Breen the game producer is next to me getting popped in the chin.
About a year later Fuji called me again..with another job.. I had been doing a little moto modeling for him since the first deal..the only req't for the first was.."can you fit in these leathers?"
It was a stretch, but I fit..anyway..he told me that Randy was doing a third version of the game and they needed a model to photo all the game sequence..mounted on a bike doing the chain kicks, punches etc.. He knew I raced bikes and he knew that I had studied Martial Arts for years...I asked about what it meant and then agreed.
So I went to his studio and found a Ducati with all kinds of special fabricated parts to keep it stable at full lean..in wheelie position etc..Hmm..that look wild.
I also found 6 Camera's set in different positions surrounding the bike. I was instructed too gear up..this time the leather fit fine..and to get on the bike..
They had sketches of all the shots they wanted..and the tools of the Hooligan trade. A stationary chain..weighing a good 5 pounds..a club...etc..
We started with simple shots..each checked by a Polaroid to verify they looked right before the actual camera pic's..just going forward..a wheelie straight ahead..then it got tougher..punch left..punch right..kick left...kick right..chain left..chain right..etc..
Doesn't sound too hard eh?? Nope..it was!!!!..every move had to be held for 5-10 seconds to allow the camera sequence to be done..camera 1..click...Camera 2....click..etc..
Holding a 5 lb. chain straight out..up ..behind..for that amount of time..was tiring..then it got even tougher..
They adjusted the bike while I rested..and wiped the sweat off..full lean..ever hang off a stationary bike..road race style when it is not moving..? Try it..it is a tough thing to do..let alone hold the position for 10 seconds..over and over..oh now..hold the chain..hang off..camera 1..click..2 click..oh my god...after every cut I was centered on the bike breathing hard..30 second rest..now the club..now punch..now kick...KICK?? leaned off??? Yes..what is the problem? It hurts man!.. They adjusted the bike up 10 degrees toward vertical...doing all again..another ten..again..and now lets got to the right lean..all over again.. this went on all day..I was totally exhausted. Back the next day..more of the same....then it got really interesting..
they pull out a matt and a ramp and I had to run up and dive off..flipping into the pad..click click click..again...twist left..flip right..shit..now were going to hook up a mountain climbing rig suspended from the roof..now I get to fly..sweet :teeth...
and finally it was time to tumble on the ground..roll flip..left right..hang onto this rope..were going to drag you across the ground..do what motor cycle guys do when they fall..I knew how that felt..so it continued..after two full 8 hour days and 750 pictures I was done..tired..spent..but excited about it being me that would be the dude in the game.
They were totally unhappy with how stage the computer animation was so they decide to do this photo shoot and scan all of the pics into the computer to create the images..in a more real looking way..so it was. I was the guy in the game...all of them..except for the cops..that was Randy..and the people I was going to run over..all photo'd and scanned..to make it as reall as possible..!
Joe Carrillo of AFM Fame and DP safety school instructor got the video job..that appears in the non-game sequences..the little movie..clips..
So if you check the game out..watch the credits of you can pull the info and find the Game Cast...
That is where you'll find the only frustrating thing about the whole adventure..they misspelled my first name..Denise "Bud Man " Kobza ...Denise..WTF...I am not a girl or French! :laughing
So when you played the game..you ran over the peeps..evaded the law..or even punched the Cop..that was me..:teeth
The E- world Ultimate Motorcycle Hooligan...Denise..

Joe...
I would love to see the info.ort
Write it here or link it here.. as you wish..:thumbup
Cool, in the mean time here is some of the cover art I was on. (I'm on the NSR250 SP "Rothmans" ) The NSR250 I rode was not in the actual game (I rode several different bikes for that, a FZR1000, TZR250 and a CBR600) It was only used for the still shots used for the package covers, etc..
