Our objective is to drive around Miami, looking for red cars driven by criminals and shooting them away within a time limit for each level. When all red cars are destroyed, the crime lord that will appear in a yellow car must be destroyed too so the exit from current level will open. Avoid hitting buildings or other cars, and don't shoot too many civilian cars or you are history. If you drive erratically in the vicinity of other cop cars they will stop you, costing valuable time. You can use a map of the city to help you find your targets.

The game received mixed reviews after its release, some gamers citing the graphics as better than average, and others disappointed in how quickly the game became "tedious" and "repetitive" and could be beaten.

RATING (7-10)
The game differs from other racing games in that the races take place on an elevated race track, with nothing to stop the player from accidentally driving off the side. Most race tracks in the game have gaps in them which players can fall into. If this occurs then the player's vehicle is hoisted back onto the track costing valuable time. Turbo can be used to make a car go faster, but it can only be used for a limited amount of time in each race.
