In the Year of Darkness, 2066, a fierce nuclear conflict shattered powerful nations. Millions of fallen, major cities are razed to the ground and abandoned. Vicious gangs took over roads and turned them into battlefields for their dog-eat-dog racing wars. People are looking for the hero who can challenge criminal power and bring peace to the once idyllic world. The only way to do this is to take part in races and defeat enemies. Mad Cars combines the excitement of the racing simulator with the intensity of an action-packed war game that unfolds in the remaining streets and places of the post-war America. Players will choose from 9 armored racing vehicles and hone their road racing skills on 10 breathtaking tracks with such striking locals as a nuclear power station, ruins of Las Vegas, military base, etc. Racing against neurotic, gun-toting enemies, players will endure a barrage of fire and plenty of dirty road tricks. To improve their chances for survival, they must collect money bonuses to tune their cars with high-powered weapon systems, armor and upgrade parts. With each win, players earn cash and unlock new cars, tracks and tournaments.
