The object of the game is to run down pedestrians in your automotive death machine. Progress through the race courses, moving from west to east starting with San Diego and Phoenix. Each course consists of capturing a flag and finding the exit door, all while running over or gunning down as many people on foot as possible while avoiding helicopters and heat seeking missiles that are actively trying to discourage your rampage. When time runs out a barrage of missiles descends on the your car, thus ending the race. The player has a certain amount of money to begin with and earns more money for completing the races alive. Money can be used to upgrade the engine, steering, tires, chassis, or weapon systems.
