The player takes on the role of a street racer who is trying to make a name for themselves in the local racing scene while avoiding the police force. The game features a broad range of fully customizable cars that can be tuned up for optimal performance.
The game has two main modes: the day mode and night mode. During the day mode, players can participate in legal races and earn money to upgrade their cars.
