Like its predecessors, Need for Speed: Road Challenge is an action racing game with a wide selection of exotic sports cars and many different types of tracks. The hallmark Hot Pursuit mode from the first game in the series is still present, where players race against opponents on tracks filled with regular traffic and police cars chasing the racers. The classic pursuit mode has been expanded with two extra modes: Getaway and Time Trap. In Getaway, the player must shake off the police within a set amount of time, or play as the police and trap a speeder before time runs out. In Time Trap, an entire race must be completed before time runs out, or, as the police, all speeders must be arrested. Pursuit mode is also available in multiplayer, and players can choose different sides or race together.
