The game uses third-person vehicular combat across enclosed arenas and mission-based stages. Players choose a driver and signature vehicle, collect machine guns, missiles, and special weapons, then destroy rivals or complete scenario objectives. Each character has a unique special attack, while environmental objects such as buildings and fuel tanks can be destroyed for tactical advantage. Progress comes through story battles and multiplayer matches where map control and item timing matter greatly.

Learn weapon spawn points and explosive hazards on every map so you can arm up quickly and force enemies into danger zones. Avoid chasing nimble opponents in straight lines for too long; instead, cut them off with terrain and splash damage. Lighter vehicles should rely on mobility and hit-and-run attacks, while heavier ones should dominate open spaces. Save your special attack for close-range confirms or finishing weakened foes.
