Race on the streets in a city in the southwest area of the United States, upgrading your car before competing in special events and trying to get away from police officers.

The action takes place in a fictitious city. However, the graphics make you feel like you're racing in a movie instead of playing a game. Most of the racing that you'll do in the game is trying to get away from police officers as well as bounty hunters who are trying to pull you over. Perform a few risky moves on the road to get away from them as fast as you can. They are hunting for you because of actions that you have performed in years past. You'll find some of the players from other versions of the game as well as a few people who you might have loved at one time. You'll get to choose the car that you want to race with and are able to upgrade your car once you start winning events.

With the help of the people you meet in the city, you'll devise plans to take over the city as well as surrounding areas. There are several new features in the game that can improve your racing style, but you'll have to rely on the driving skills that you possess if you want to get ahead in the game. A map is seen on the bottom of the screen so that you know where you're at in the city and where other drivers are located, including police officers. There are new engines available as well as a few other new upgrades along with different drifting styles and ways to maneuver corners. There is a large variety of cars to choose from, such as muscle cars and tuners depending on what kind of handling you enjoy and the design that you like.
