Battle Gear 4 - Gameplay

Gameplay

There are at least 5 options of gameplay, in Battle Gear 4 Tuned.

1. Event race. From time to time Taito announces special races that are restricted to tuned cars. Each key is only allowed to participate once in each event race. Players attempt to set the best time (or drift point record in drift mode) to compete against other players.
2. Race mode allows players to race various level of opponents on different tracks. The opponents are computer cars within the same class (A,B,C,D) of the players' car. The game defaults the opponents' skill levels from 1 to 10, but it can be extended to level 98. Levels over 10 can only be unlocked by beating the previous level of opponents.
3. Drift mode is the new add-on in BG4 Tuned. In this mode, the player drifts his car around the corners, attempting to gain the maximum amount of points. The time is not recorded on the machine, but the drift points.
4. One make race is similar to the race mode, but the opponents appear with the exactly same car model as the player.
5. Time attack is the mode where the player attempts to set the best time finishing the track. Players can select other player's ghost car to run with them.
6. Battle mode pits the drivers against each other. This extra mode can only be selected when there are more than one entrants joins the game, up to 4 players if 4 cabinets are available.

The game displays the result (after a game finishes) to a keyless player, and the additional title and awarded BG (battle gold, the virtual dollars in game) to the player using a key. Information are uploaded to the server, and the player can access the BG later on, provided that the machine is online.
