Loosely inspired by more cerebral zombie based fiction such as WWZ, or even the comical concept of humans and zombies learning to live together, touched on briefly in Shaun of the Dead; Blood Drive takes place in the slightly less familiar aftermath decades preceding the better recognised zombie apocalypse scenario, humanity in the desert city of fictional Las Ruletas have stumbled upon a tourism goldmine with the advent of the Blood Drive death sport. This fictional desert gambling resort sees champion 'Blood Drivers' compete for glory using classic muscle cars fitted with spikes and guns. The aim is to stay alive inside of the hostile zombie-infested environment while also attempting to wreck the opponent vehicles.
The player controls a vehicle and has to kill other players, while being attacked by zombies. The game features six arenas in total. Multiplayer supports up to four players.[2] The player will control one of eight characters in a tournament, and will complete different types of events. The players objectives will occasionally change. There are six main events, which feature different goals. The player will also be able to race, and will be able to kill other racers. The player has access to pick-ups including weaponry, health, and speed boosts. Killing a large number of zombies will activate the player's Rage Powers.[3]
