I have Road Show, The Shadow, and Judge Dredd, I would recommend them all in that order. Just dont get why Road Show doesn't get more love, so much packed into the game and such a satisfying fun game to play, it's a great value.

You are right, the heads freak some people out, but at least they are nice funny heads and not creepy as hell Rudy.

I think the main thing people don't like is the linear modes, which for me is one of the best parts of the game. People tend to get bored with games when they see every part of the game frequently, with Road Show the west coast modes are more rare to hit and it always feels rewarding to get those modes, keeps the game fresh.
