The game uses a side-scrolling perspective. Tracy moves through linear urban stages, avoids hazards, defeats criminals, and advances toward major confrontations.

Play alternates between physical attacks and weapon use. Enemies appear throughout the stages, while platforming and movement are used to navigate the environment. Progression is stage-based, with later sections increasing the difficulty and leading to encounters with important villains.

Learn the timing of Tracy’s attacks before rushing into groups of enemies. Keep moving through open areas, use the environment to control enemy spacing, and conserve firearm ammunition for dangerous encounters.

Approach boss sections cautiously. Observe attack patterns, strike during openings, and avoid standing directly in front of enemies for extended periods.
