The player controls a car armed with two types of guns (frontal and side) and drives on a road full of dangerous enemy vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles, trucks and helicopters. The player can shoot enemies along the way, who can shoot back. It has branching paths resulting in 32 possible routes. [2]
