There are 25 licensed vehicles included, e.g. B. Aston Martin DB9 , various car models from Lamborghini , Volkswagen, but also off-road vehicles such as Hummer . As is usual with racing games, some of these must first be unlocked through fast racing times. The routes are based on real locations such as Paris or New York and also contain night routes.
There are different racing modes. In addition to the single and multi-driver routes, there are also arcade modes such as time attack, chase as a police car and an evolution mode.
In addition to the usual directions, lights and horns as well as an occasional N 2 O boost ("nitro") can be switched on, which allows you to drive faster for a short time.
