Re-Volt

There are a couple of single- and multiplayer game modes to choose from. In Single Race, you complete a single track while competing with several computer-controlled opponents; in Championship, you try to complete a series of races in hopes of finishing on the top; and in Multiplayer, you play with live opponents. There's also a Time Trial, where you're alone on the track, and simply try to get as best a time as possible; a Practice mode, where you're free to drive around a track to learn its structure and shortcuts; and the Stunt Arena, where you drive around a special arena and try to collect stars situated in hard-to-reach places.

In Single Race, Championship, and Multiplayer there are power-ups scattered throughout the track; picking them up gives you a one-use random power, such as missiles to launch at pesky opponents, a star to temporarily freeze competitors in place or a lightning bolt, which makes your car shock opponents nearby to make them stop.
