The entire city is interconnected, no matter which road you turn down or which alley you sneak through, you'll never hit a dead end. The game makes other racing titles look like the AMC Pacer booth at the Detroit Auto Show. Blitz racing pits you against the clock as you navigate a set number of checkpoints before time expires. The quickest path is not always the one marked by streets. To beat the clock, you'll often find yourself taking short cuts through buildings, shopping malls and city parks.
Circuit racing is a traditional lap race through the city streets.
A la grand prix racing, the circuit courses are predefined tracks where the only traffic is your opponents. Unlike other racing games, the tracks are not marked by pylons or hay bails but by city blocks and skyscrapers. Finally, checkpoint racing is a race though a series of checkpoints scattered throughout the city. In checkpoint racing, you race against other drivers as you attempt to avoid traffic, pedestrians and Chicago's finest in their souped-up Mustang police cars. Never the same twice Because the racing canvas is so large, each race is unique.
