Not to be confused with the [[Bruce McDonald]] film of the same name, ''Roadkill'' is a [[Vehicular Combat]] game developed and published by [[Midway Games]] in 2003 for the [[X BoxXbox]], [[Play StationPlayStation 2]] and [[Game Cube]]. [[X Meets Y|It combined]] [[Twisted Metal]] -style combat with a [[Grand Theft Auto]]- like free-roaming mission structure. It featured a rockin' soundtrack of both real and written-for-the game songs, and four-player split-screen multiplayer. The game was only mildly hyped prior to release and thought it met with good reviews, [[Needs More Love|it is to this day relatively obscure,]] like many [[Vehicular Combat]] games that aren't [[Twisted Metal]].
 
[[Alternate History|In the 1980s]], [[The Virus|a deadly plague]] known as The Rot struck the world, [[Apocalypse How|killing untold millions and bringing society to its knees]]. An unspecified time later, the world is divided up into isolated pockets of [[Wretched Hive|"civilization"]] separated by vast wasteland. The game focuses on three small cities located relatively close to one another: Lava Falls, Blister Canyon and [[Guns N' Roses|Paradise City.]] You play the role of [[Testosterone Poisoning|Mason]] [[Awesome McCoolname|Strong]], [[Badass|professional tough guy.]] Some years prior, he helped a man named Axl and his gang, the Sentinels, take control of Paradise City and drag it screaming out of tribalism into something resembling a functioning society. They had a falling out, and Mason was [[Left for Dead]]. [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|Now he's back for revenge.]]
