Vanishing Point, not to be confused with the 1971 film or its 1997 remake, is a racing game that forgoes the traditional grid-start, first one to the finish wins sort of race. In essence, every race is a time attack where you begin with a rolling start and a time to beat. You have the clock and a large amount of traffic to contend against, a handful of them driving aggressively (your competitors). This racing game has the distinction of using several vehicles not typically seen in a racing game several of which are made by Ford. One of the two vehicles available from the start is a 1997 Ford Explorer, with a 1994 Ford Ranger being unlocked early in the game. Other unlockables include a 1994 Ford Taurus, a 1992 Lincoln Town Car, a 1997 Ford Windstar and 1996 Mercury Sable Wagon, amidst the more conventional racing game vehicles such as the 1967 Shelby Cobra, the 1996 Dodge Viper GTS, 1998 TVR Cerbera, and 1993 Toyota Supra to name a few. A "Stunt" mode was also available where there were a series of challenges in which you had to complete in a certain amount of time, much like license tests.
