Races are presented from a side-scrolling perspective. The objective is to finish ahead of the field while avoiding traffic, roadside obstacles, police, and crashes. Riders can attack opponents during a race and use road position and timing to create openings.

The campaign progresses through races in different locations. Prize money can be used to obtain faster motorcycles and improve the player's ability to compete in later events. A single-race mode is also available for more immediate play.

Learn the timing of attacks instead of holding a weapon input continuously. Fighting is most useful when a rival is alongside the player, but careless attacks can cause a loss of speed or a crash.

Prioritize staying on the road and leaving room for traffic. Save money for a meaningful motorcycle upgrade, and use safer lines through bends rather than attempting every risky shortcut.
