Crash ‘n Burn is a racing game with vehicle-mounted guns and rockets. There is both a Rally mode and a Tournament mode to compete in. In the Rally Mode, you race your way through up to 30 tracks with the goal of staying alive and destroying the other contenders while you try and finish in the top three.
In Tournament Mode you drive the same tracks in a sudden-death race for dominance. Along the way, you can win prize money by placing in the top three. You can then use that money to add guns, energy weapons, missiles, hazards, armor, and other special enhancements.
You can choose from among six vehicle/driver combinations that are weighted towards firepower, speed, or balance. Unlimited pit stops are available to repair damage and reload your weapons.

RACING
1. SELECT YOUR DRIVER AND VEHICLE
Choose your persona for the racing brutality ahead. Six nuked-out drivers make a bid for your attention, each with a unique car. Test their murderous vehicles in rally racing before taking on the tournament challenge.
In tournament racing, you can review in-depth biographies of each contender before selecting one. Once you choose, don't count out your challengers. They'll return between races to taunt, jeer, bully, ridicule, mock, deride and otherwise deliver their opinions of your driving.

2. SELECT YOUR CIRCUIT
Rally Racing
Five tough circuits challenge you to race. Choose any circuit to prove your driving savagery on each of its five magnetically enhanced, asphalt polymer tracks. You must finish in 1st, 2nd or 3rd place to advance to the next punishing track. If you finish in 4th place or lower, you will rank out.
If you rank out, you can use a Continue to race the track over, start the circuit from the first track, or race a different circuit.
•
Important: You start each game with three Continues.
•
If you burn 'em up and rank out, the race ends.
•
Conquering the 5th circuit, Wasteland, in 1st place is the only way to advance to Deathdrome.
Tournament Racing
Start a new tournament from the easiest circuit, with a stock character and car. Or resume your last tournament, taking on the same character, driving skills and vehicle upgrades you achieved at the time you saved the game. When you continue a saved tournament, you start at the beginning of the next track. (For your convenience, tournament races are automatically saved at the end of each race.)
Just as in rally racing, you must finish in 1st, 2nd or 3rd place to advance. Finishing in 4th place or lower means you're out of the running. In that case, you can use a Continue to race the track over. If you have no Continues left, the tournament ends.
•
Reminder: You start each tournament with three Continues.

Laps: The number of laps you must complete to finish the race. A counter on your Heads-Up Display monitors your laps.
•

•
Track Champion: The track record holder will dominate the race. If you're serious about winning, nail this maniac for bonus points and cash.
Important: Your grip on the tracks will be affected by ice, water and mud.
4. TAKE YOUR POSITION
The first starting position is chosen randomly for all drivers. For subsequent tracks, your starting position will be the opposite of your finishing position in the last race.
Important: All weapons become active shortly after the start of the race.

Items & Weapons
.30 cal Rifle
A good early weapon with low cost and plentiful ammo to help new drivers develop marksmanship. The bullet can pop a hole through any engine block and penetrate a stock car through all but the driver's bathtub.
.30 cal MG
Offers firepower at bargain basement cost with the 30-06 shell providing hitting power and rate of fire. Sustained fire can chew through Kevlar armor to damage occupants.
.50 cal Rifle
The small arms weapon of choice for machine gun fanatics, combining high rate of fire with massive kick. It can knock tires off vehicles but suffers from quick ammo depletion.
Flame Thrower
Shoots a 25-foot-long flame of enriched phosphorous jelly that burns and adheres to targets. It can turn unprotected cars into funeral pyres, even overcoming thermal ceramic armor.
40mm GL
Known as the poor man's cannon, it fires high explosive grenades with a flat trajectory to blow away large chunks of car and road. Its slow rate of fire requires accuracy for maximum effect.
Vulcan Minigun
One of the fastest cycling guns, firing depleted uranium projectiles at over Mach 3. It can put 100 holes in a target rapidly, though ammo depletion is a major drawback.
Hellfire Rotogun
The ultimate slug thrower, pouring a wall of depleted uranium into targets with Mach 3+ kinetic energy. Its 500-round drum provides ample ammo to destroy vehicles.
Pulse Laser
A single lens, 200 watt laser designed for rugged use with a firing rate of one shot per second. It is cheap and effective against stock targets despite consuming significant energy.
Twin Laser
Two coupled Pulse Lasers that double the fire and damage output on targets. It takes out unprotected targets quickly but has little penetration against reflective armor.
Photon Gun
Sends a slug of ionized particles that excites the target's atomic structure, weakening metals and melting plastics. Repeated hits break down molecules and damage human organs.
Fusion Caster
A weapon where longer trigger depression produces a more powerful fusion ball, limited by an energy cap to prevent runaway reactions. It rewards patience with maximum damage.
Flash Laser
A high wattage laser with a wide dispersion beam that temporarily blinds victims without polarized protection for three to 10 seconds. It serves as a unique strategic weapon for causing accidents.
Stiletto Laser
A double-whammy weapon designed to break tough armor using a sustained heating beam and a high-energy punching beam. It heats and cuts the target while punching holes into the vehicle interior.
Plasma Sun Gun
A complex apparatus that sends a powerful, concentrated blast of pure plasma containing high energy. It acts as a devastating energy weapon capable of ending races instantly.
Rocket Pack
A simple, low-cost solution offering direct fire and line-of-sight with the option to launch missiles individually or as a spread. It allows mounting up to eight rockets for effective, clean fun.
TOW Missile
A heavy, wire-guided missile requiring a solid lock maintained during flight to ensure accuracy. Despite slow flight time and complex operation, it delivers a memorable punch.
Mod-Pod GM
A fire-and-forget guided missile with a slim design allowing up to three rockets per vehicle. It seeks locked targets until detonation, making it a weapon of choice for on-the-go drivers.
Wild Devil IR
An infrared missile with extreme accuracy and an armor-piercing high explosive tip capable of chasing targets for long distances. Its tenacity usually ensures a hit on the second or third pass.
Starburst
A multi-purpose rocket creating a tremendous burst of intense light and concussive force for close combat. A direct hit usually results in the target losing directional control.
