Rock 'n Roll Racing is an arcade combat racing game. Combat plays a heavy role in the game, as each car has a frontal weapon, such as a laser or missile, and a drop weapon, such as spikes or mines. As you complete races, you get more money to upgrade your car. The soundtrack features famous rock tracks.
The gameplay is similar to RPM Racing , but with the added combat elements. Players must use their cars' weapons to take down opponents and gain an advantage in each race. The game includes a variety of modes, including single-player and multiplayer options.
