The third Runabout hands control of some exotic vehicles to
the virtual driver and unleashes utter rampage on the fair streets
of New York City. Seventeen transports ranging from a fire
engine, military tank, power shovel, Rolls Royce and Formula
racer join more mundane vehicles such as police cruiser,
limo, and what else, yellow taxi cab. Traveling in a wayward
manner through the
concrete canyons of Gotham, players are tasked with
destroying targeted marks (seen as flashing objects on
the screen map) within a certain amount of time and then
racing to a final destination. Along the way, maniacs may drive irresponsibly and crash into
anything and everything, including fellow motorists. When
the police catch on to your shenanigans and set up a
blockade, it's your prerogative to plow right through and
send the law scrambling. Your hapless vehicle takes damage with
each collision and fenders are pushed in, hoods pop up, steel
gets crinkled, and your car will
eventually wobble like a creaky tin can if you're overly negligent.
When your car smokes out with
billowing black clouds and coughs it's last, you'll know
you've killed it with nothing less than your driving skills,
or lack thereof.
