Gameplay
The object of this game is to compete in the Grand Prix and to unlock new tracks and cars. The difficulty of each tournament is determined by which cup you choose to race for. The first cup you race for is the Carbon cup, and once you've beaten that you will unlock other cups that are based on elements like crystal, and diamond. Once you have won a tournament you will unlock a new cup to compete for, new levels to race in, and the chance to challenge other cars to gain access to them for use in Grand Prix races and vs mode. While Racing you can acquire weapons located around the tracks to help you finish the race quicker or to slow down your opponents so you can overtake them. The combat system is different from many games, except for having health and being destroyed for a limited amount of time, if you or an enemy is hit by a weapon you will be temporarily be slowed downed which gives your opponent time to overtake you. They're some weapons that can be avoided by using your cars jump jets; all cars have jump jets and can be used to avoid certain weapons, however not all weapons can be avoided even with the Jump Jets.

Cars
All of the cars in the game are based on various animals. These include: Lion, Shark, Rhino, Elephant, and Praying Mantis. These cars are already available to you when you start the game. When you begin to win different cups you have the option to challenge a new car to gain the right to use it. The challenge is to beat the new car in a race; once you do it will be available for use in all racing modes. The cars you can unlock include: Scorpion, Cheetah, Rattle Snake, and the Panther. Each car also has stats that represent how well a car will handle, how powerful its weapons are, fast it can go, and how well it can take damage. Cars like the Shark, Cheetah, and Mantis are fast racers, but they have weak armor and are hard to control in some stages. Cars like the Lion, Rattle Snake, and Scorpion are average racers having equal stats; having a good balance in speed, damage resistance, and handling.Cars like the Elephant,and Rhino, are heavy racers having powerful weapons, and better handling, but they are slow, and rely on weapons to take advantage of their opponents. The Panther is the best car you can unlock having maxed stats in all categories of handling, speed, armor, and weapons. Panther is also the hardest car to unlock.
