Gameplay
The game is set in the fictional Valo City, which has four sections; only one is initially unlocked. Additional areas, cars, and upgrade parts become available by racing against AI drivers. Vehicles are fictionalised versions of real cars, such as the "Ninja" resembling a Honda Civic hatchback and the "Badge" mimicking the Dodge Charger. Gameplay is mechanically oriented, with nearly all car parts replaceable. Full engines can be swapped, and most body parts can be removed. Damage is highly detailed, but repairing a damaged car is costly and time-consuming, with no option to fully restore the vehicle.
