About this game

5th Gear combines arcade racing and shooting as players guide a white car up and down a hazardous landscape filled with water, bumps, trees, and enemy vehicles.

Completing levels earns cash, beginning with an initial $10,000. At garages, funds can be used to purchase extra fuel, repair the car’s armour, and add equipment such as a turbo-jump or waterproofing.
