Races take place from a behind-the-bike perspective on enclosed futuristic circuits. The objective is to finish ahead of opponents while managing acceleration, braking, steering, weapons, and track hazards.

Single-player progression moves through a sequence of increasingly difficult events, with stronger competition and more demanding layouts. Multiplayer provides competitive racing for multiple players, while weapons and pickups add an offensive and defensive layer to each race.

Learn each circuit before prioritizing attacks. Maintaining a clean racing line is usually more valuable than firing at every opponent, especially on narrow sections and high-speed turns.

Save weapons for overtaking opportunities, defensive situations, or dangerous sections where an opponent is likely to lose control. Brake early for sharp corners, then accelerate once the motorcycle is aligned with the exit.
