In addition, it features a contiguous highway system that circles the Tri-City, which the four boroughs are actually share a piece of the large circuit. As for the police system, it uses a similar bar graph at the bottom of the screen that moves between the blue "Evade", and the red "Busted", on the left side, depending on the player’s speed and proximity to police. Meanwhile, the Cooldown" period after evading pursuing police units returns as well, along with heat levels, speed breaker and pursuit breakers.

The player can gain reputation points as they progress through the game’s story by participating in side missions or performing flashy maneuvers in a police chase.
