To complement the exciting new direction, the game introduced a modernized control scheme,
rear third person view and gameplay mechanics which have blazed the trail for subsequent action titles.
The onboard, first -
person and
third -
person cameras can all be rotated with the
third -
person perspectives both having the capability of rotating 360 degrees in order to
view your car in more detail as well as the nearby competitors and the scenery, while the first -
person cameras provide detailed
views of the bodywork and tyres to the left and right and a
rear view of the spoiler, more focus on the mirrors and the
rear wing, alongside the onboard cameras providing a left and right
view of the scenery and a greater focus on the bodywork towards the
rear of the car.
