2373 AD. Neo York, USA

Welcome to the New Big Apple. The face of the city has changed forever. Buildings that used to dominate the skyline look like toy models next to giants that add awhole new dimension to the word "skyscraper". While the privileged few hide in higher and higher floors behind steel and glass, almost nobody dares to venture into the decaying neighborhoods at the foot of the gigantic buildings. The labyrinth of leaking pipes, illegaly installed cables and uncountable clothes lines that dominates the slums of the city is a trademark of Neo York just as the imposing colossal statues and the bright neon signs. The laws of rush hour have changed forever. With the invention of anti-grvity technology, traffic all of sudden wasn't bound to streets anymore. By a simple yet effective method, a force field works against gravity and lets vehicles of almost any size hover through the air. By now, millions of commuters fly their anti-gravity cars through the immense concrete canyons of the world's biggest city of state. The heart of the metropolis beats with a regular pulse, each beat drives new streams of vehicles through the huge thoroughfares. With iron discipline and almost endless patience, car after car merges into the steadily flowing stream. Crazed drives of frustrated drivers are feared and are more or less part of everyday life on the metropolis skyways. The face of racing as changed forever. Death defying drivers of rivaling gangs risk their lives in wild, illegal races during rush hour, always trying to escape the cops chasing them. The racing drivers live dangerously daring maneuvers across the countless traffic streams often cause mass accident and spectacular crashes of entire groups of vehicles. And if the anti-gravity field fails, you arealmost certainly history. An new challenger has emerged. He will stop for nobody and nothing. Five gangs, five districts, one goal.
