There are three different ways to play Crash Time. The Cases make up a story mode that can be played from start to finish. They follow a continuous plot and each case consists of multiple missions. The cases featured in the game are presented as crime stories and combine various missions. Once you have unlocked cars and tracks in the story mode, you can try them out in the single races. In a single race, you can freely select a track, opponent and traffic and adjust each to your own preferences. The split screen mode is similar to single race, but here you can compete against friends. Races can be configured freely, and each player can choose their own favourite vehicle before going head-to-head. If you've completed GTA IV already, or are just plain fed up with it after 10 days, here's another mission-based driving game for your delectation, albeit one with no cussing and fighting.  

Too much trail and error on the harder missions for my taste. For a game to be called Crash Time, yet not allow you to crash too much is also a bit of an annoyance - avoid.
