The briefing

About this game

Ghost Rider is an action-adventure game set after the events of the film of the same name. As Johnny Blaze, players must defeat rogue demons for Mephisto while trying to protect their girlfriend from being taken back to hell.

Gameplay

Ghost Rider fights with flaming hellfire chains and builds a vengeance bar by using varied attacks and avoiding damage. A fuller bar allows him to gain more souls from defeated enemies, which can be spent on new moves and extras such as additional characters. Certain shielded enemies require a minimum vengeance level before they can be damaged.

Attacks also build a spirit gauge used for special moves, including the shotgun. Hellcycle levels challenge players to avoid obstacles while destroying enemies with Hellcycle attacks and chains. Challenge mode expands on these stages with elimination and survival rule variations; in survival, racers lose life over time and can restore it by passing through checkpoints.
