Campaign
The campaign follows a straight forward mission structure. Players get simple instructions beforehand, varying from racing through checkpoints, surviving enemy arenas, planting bombs, escorting vehicles and so on.
Before each mission, players can choose a car with 3 stats: Strength, Handling, Acceleration. As missions get completed with certain objectives, players can gain medals and collect a higher bounty. This bounty is the form of currency used to purchase unlocked vehicle after each mission.
Additionally, stages are usually scattered several pickups. These raise the score and are usually an incentive to complete bonus objectives. Several of these are placed at jumping platforms that trigger a small close captured sequence.
The last mission revolves around killing the last unlockable car, which shoots lightning, in an arena filled with jumps.
Trophies
All trophies are related to campaign missions and can be simply unlocked by finishing the game, with the exception of a few more chance-based achievements.
