Summary
The player not only has to race against other cars, trying to outrun them, he can also use various kinds of weapons and gadgets to damage his opponents.
In the beginning of the game, the player can choose one of the eight available characters: Jackyl, Sadie, Ray, Mekmac, Metro, Growl, Mama, and Andrew. Each character has his/her own strengths and weaknesses (speed, car handling, etc.), as well as unique weapons. The weapons include a shotgun, glue spots that they can leave to slow other cars, homing missiles, mines, and others. There are 24 different tracks available in the game. The player must complete them in a linear fashion, and once he/she runs out of time or fails a single race, the game is over and the player must enter his/her name onto the Scoreboard, the background being the type of environment the last race took place. The player's score is measured by the amount of money that they have acquired in races you have placed in. As the player spends this money on upgrades for his/her vehicle, the score suddenly lowers.
Combat Cars lacks a real ending; once the player complete the last race, he/she is promptly brought to the Scoreboard and the game resets to the SEGA introduction screen.

Famous quotes containing the word summary:
“Product of a myriad various minds and contending tongues, compact of obscure and minute association, a language has its own abundant and often recondite laws, in the habitual and summary recognition of which scholarship consists.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism. The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
