Ghost Rider begins in Hell and must travel back to Earth and track down the evil souls who have escaped!

Levels will take place on foot or bike and each chapter finishes with a climactic boss battle in which Ghost Rider must face a powerful foe. ON FOOT LEVELS
For levels in which Ghost Rider proceeds on foot, you must battle through waves of enemies to reach the end of the section. •
PURPLE ONES raise his Demon Orbs counter.
Mana Bar
By fighting, Ghost Rider also refills his Mana Bar. This bar fills up as Ghost Rider is hit or as he lands hits on his enemies. Combining attacks will also raise the combo counter faster and increase the amount of mana received when hitting an enemy. There are two uses for the Mana Bar: Guard
When pressing +Control Pad ↑, Ghost Rider stands in guard and protects himself against frontal attacks. Using Guard decreases the amount of mana. Thirst for Vengeance
Once unlocked, you can press the L Button + the R Button to release Ghost Rider's Thirst for Vengeance! For as long as the Mana Bar lasts, Ghost Rider will cause more damage and enemies will be unable to make him flinch. During Thirst for Vengeance, Ghost Rider will be able to make even the most powerful enemies stagger back from his attacks. Once unlocked, you can do a grab move and Ghost Rider will perform his deadly Penance Stare; a move that punishes the enemy and provides you with extra demon orbs. ON BIKE
For levels where he rides his Hell Cycle, Ghost Rider must race to the end of the track, taking out enemies on the way and using the power of the Hell Cycle to overcome obstacles. UPGRADING

By pressing Select anytime during the game, you can enter the Upgrades Menu to upgrade your character. Use +Control Pad ← and → to page between different sections, move between items with +Control Pad ↑ Button and ↓ Button then spend orbs with Select to buy items.
