Rollcage Stage II Download PC

Rollcage Stage II is a racing video game developed by Attention to Detail for PlayStation and Microsoft Windows. It is the sequel to Rollcage. On top of the basic racing concept, the cars can be equipped with weapons, which are picked up on the track as bonuses, which can be used against competing cars. The automobiles themselves, once again, have wheels that are larger than the body of the car thus creating a car that has no up or down and therefore can be flipped yet continue to drive.

For the North American Microsoft Windows release, game publisher Take-Two Interactive repackaged the original European/Australasian version as Death Track Racing.

Rollcage Stage II was also among the very first titles to feature hardware-accelerated bump mapping upon its release in March 2000, in the form of EMBM (Environment Mapped Bump Mapping). RSII was designed to be best experienced at the time on Matrox Millennium G400 graphics cards, released in mid-1999, which had exclusive support for EMBM until the ATI Radeon was released in late 2000. Matrox's bump mapping technology was much hyped by industry press outlets at the time, with Matrox demoing Rollcage Stage II as a cutting-edge showcase for their cards, as well as dedicating a page on their website to the game.

Reception

Rollcage Stage II received mixed to positive reviews. Aggregating review websites GameRankings and Metacritic gave the PlayStation version 79% based on 13 reviews and 85/100 based on 7 reviews and the Microsoft Windows version 68% based on 7 reviews. IGN was positive again to this sequel, stating, "Rollcage: Stage 2 is a snazzy stage name, but Wipeout: The Second Coming would've been more apt." They awarded this sequel an 8.7 (Great).
