Game Modes
You can set up cunning ambushes for your enemies, go out with all guns blazing, or even drive the wrong way around the track and attack them head-on. The choice is yours. Bonuses are awarded for performing stunts.
Split Screen Single Race
Play a single race with a friend. Controller 1 controls the top screen, and Controller 2 controls the bottom. Both players must race the same type of vehicle.
Hot Seat
The Hot Seat option allows you to race against up to seven friends on one machine. Select a track and vehicle (all players use the same craft type).
The race begins with Player 1 in control. After a designated amount of time, the next player's name flashes on the screen, followed by a three-second countdown. Once 'Go' appears, Player 2 takes control while the computer controls Player 1's car. This continues until one player wins.
To modify the number of players and control time, see Hot Seat Options.
