About this game

Unlike earlier titles, this game lets you play as both a racer and a police officer.

Weather changes such as rain and night driving add tension, requiring you to adjust your tactics and reflexes. The sense of speed, sharp engine sounds, and detailed scenery keep the experience engaging.
