RoadKill is an open world vehicular combat video game developed by Terminal Reality and published by Midway in 2003 for PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube. The game was described by Midway as "the only mission-based combat driving game set in a post-apocalyptic world".

The RetroPlayers.Club Player ships with RoadKill already mapped — the layout below is the default, and Controller Mapping in the app rebinds any of it.
The Story Behind RoadKill
To weaken their defenses, Mason delivers explosives to the Sentinels' territory, before destroying the generators that power Axl's propaganda broadcasts using bomb-planted RC cars. Attempts to have Mason killed only for him to barely survive. The Gauchos open the way to Blister Canyon and Mason finds a new employer, the flamboyant Section Eights led by General Warwick, a former military officer along with his homosexual right-hand man Gunny.
RoadKill is an open world vehicular combat video game developed by Terminal Reality and published by Midway in 2003 for PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube. With Axl overthrown and the South League now in control of Paradise City, Mason hears a distress call from another faction of survivors, pleading for help when learning about his reputation for "setting things right". Mason then drives away from Paradise City to points unknown to assist them.
What You'll Play
As the game progresses, the player unlocks and obtains more weapons and vehicles. When the Riot level is at maximum, the player automatically enters a "Survival" mission, where the goal is to evade and survive attacks from the Sentinels until the player loses them or collects a peace sign. The main goal of the game is to increase the criminal reputation of the player in the form of "ranks", which can be achieved by killing or attacking rival gangs, destroying vehicles, and street racing.
Upgrades allow any vehicle to have its performance improved, increased ammunition capacity, or added armor for better protection against enemy attacks. In order to confront the boss, the player must complete storyline missions and jobs given by other characters, most of whom are gang leaders. Like other open-world games, the game features a "Riot" mechanic that determines the number of Sentinels (a gang masquerading as police) that chase the player in addition to increasing severity of their crimes.
Why It Still Hits
However, Axl was too greedy to share his newfound power and noticing Mason's increasing influence. Axl starts to loses influence on the city and Mason heads to the city hall to confront Axl personally before engaging in a climactic battle, with Axl using a customized monster truck. Mason then drives away from Paradise City to points unknown to assist them.
Mason wins the battle and destroys Axl's vehicle. In the aftermath of the chaos, a survivor named Mason Strong, a drifter who joined the Sentinels led by Axl who made Mason his second in command, the Sentinels proceeded to take over Paradise City and became its draconian leader with a bigger goal of eliminating the gangs in the other cities and enslaving survivors in the wastes. The Gauchos open the way to Blister Canyon and Mason finds a new employer, the flamboyant Section Eights led by General Warwick, a former military officer along with his homosexual right-hand man Gunny.
