A Crash Course in Runabout

Climax Entertainment has released Yaroman Games' Runabout to crash-happy gamers in Japan. The game is best described as a cross between Rage Racer and the Die Hard 3 portion of Die Hard Trilogy.

After choosing a car (the player has several choices, including a bus, a limo, and a Vespa scooter) and course, the player must collect a set number of items and make his way to the end of the level. The levels are detailed and full of cars, police blockades, pedestrians, and other things for the player to destroy. Look for Runabout to come to the States later this year under the title Felony, courtesy of ASCII Entertainment.
