The game is a third-person vehicular combat title set in large arena stages. Players drive armed vehicles, collect weapons and pickups, and hunt down rival combatants. Each driver has a signature special attack, while common weapons are scattered throughout the map. Progress comes through the single-player tournament, with multiple endings unlocked by completing it with different characters. Mastering movement, corners, terrain, and weapon timing is essential.
