Single Player Arcade mode, which includes Single Race, Hot Pursuit, Knockout, and Tournament. Single Race is just that, it allows you play with computer opponents or not and you can choose any car and just race, simple as that. This is a fun way to learn new cars or new tracks and to practice as well. Hot Pursuit is like Single Race but with the addition of Police chases. Knockout is just that, it knocks out the car that comes in last place leading to a head to head battle between the two surviving cars.
Tournament consists of a series of six races, each taking place on a different track.
It is quite fun and provides hours of enjoyment. This includes EA Racing Online which, when done, will provide Internet servers for people to race on. Then there are the standard network play modes, IPX, TCP, Modem and Serial. A little history lesson. First there was The Need for Speed which was developed by EA and Road and Track.
