Pick the team you want to race for, take control of your souped-up anti-gravity racer, then ride the six huge circuits leaving the rest to chew fog. and you're on the start grid for the next race.
Research goes on day and night in the quest to find the perfect race craft, the one that will travel further and faster than anything made before. Tracks stretch across terrain in every corner of the world. Anti-gravity racing has become the world's biggest sport. The seventh, hidden track, is set on Mars. There are a total of seven racetracks in the game, six of which are located in futuristic versions of Canada, Japan, Germany, Russia, USA and Greenland.
By piloting their craft over power-up pads found on the tracks, the player can pick up shields, turbo boosts, mines, shockwaves, rockets or missiles, to protect the player's craft or disrupt the competitors' craft. There are four different racing teams to choose from, each ship with its own distinct characteristics of acceleration, top speed, mass, and turning radius. Set in the year 2052, players compete in the F3600 anti-gravity racing league, piloting one of a selection of craft in races on several different tracks.
