Players were given a choice of 5 different modes, each with differing gameplay elements.
In order to unlock more tracks and vehicles, players had the option of competing in various race leagues including the following:
Marauder - A '70's muscle car resembling a Ford Maverick, the Marauder keeps strength, acceleration, top speed and handling at a medium level, resulting in a car that is fast and strong enough to compete in any race. The handling even contributes to destruction as players can use its average speed to target their next victim.
Bobcat - A zippy little '90's hatchback that is agile and good in avoiding collisions, but its minimal strength keeps it from getting too rough. Players could use its handling to get around tight corners with ease as well as finding vantage points in the track.
Cruiser - A bulky 50s luxury car that is the slowest vehicle among the line, but also one of the strongest. Its greatest advantage is its strength which enables it to inflict more damage than it receives.
Predator - A fast 80s style sports car that is the fastest vehicle in the lineup, almost to the point where it takes special skills in handling the vehicle's sensitive turning and quick start-up. Its strength is fairly moderate, being on par with the Marauder's, but its speed can cause it more damage than the competitors, depending on how well the vehicle is handled.
Renegade - A fast and aggressive everyday car resembling a 1980 Bentley Mulsanne, the vehicle is fast enough to avoid collisions, but strong enough to inflict damage if necessary. It is considered a step-up above the Marauder.
Mantis - A fast and agile sports car resembling a Fiat, this car excels mostly in its handling and top speed, though it is one of the weakest vehicles in the line up.
Vandal - A van that resembles a Ford Transit.
Widowmaker - A long hearse.
