This game consists of single-player and multiplayer. In single-player, the player drives around one of four cities, Rome, London, Tokyo and San Francisco - collecting Dare Devil Coins. If all Coins in a level are collected, the player unlocks a secret car. What also can be collected are keys and wrenches that open up bonus missions. After winning a bonus mission, the player can unlock a paint job for the car used.
The player can also free roam around cities.
There are twelve cars players can drive; names in brackets are those they resemble.
