In addition to these destructive modes, Urban Assault offers Tony Hawk-styled trick events. Wow, the circus has really changed since the last time I visited it. While this mode can be fun, you can easily abuse this mode by having your truck sit on top of a destructible object.

This monster truck sim lets you participate in 'Devastator' events, which asks you to wreak as much havoc as you can in an open environment. While the racing aspect of Urban Assault isn't great, it's but a mere fraction of the game. There are a lot of linear, narrow alleyways in Urban Assault, and as a result, frustrating pileups occur. What seems like a pretty interesting mode causes more headaches than joy. In Head to Head, a pair of cars race backwards while the other pair races forwards. Another fairly unique racing mode is 'Head to Head'. Urban Assaults adds one interesting race mode called 'Eliminator.' This mode eliminates the lagging racer after each lap. Urban Assault isn't the only racing game with this problem, but it is annoying nonetheless. When you do hit objects that can't be smashed, your vehicle may spin backwards and face the wrong direction. Even with the assistance of course arrows, you will probably run into awkwardly placed buildings or structures. Even though most race tracks are narrow and linear, with the occasional minor shortcut strewn about, there are some confusing layouts. However, the worst part about the racing is its level design. For the most part, the cars handle decently, but sometimes coming off of an awkward jump makes the camera shift around and this makes things a little disorienting. However, like the Burnout series, you can obtain boost juice by either crashing into things or by pulling off high-flying stunts. Those looking for fancy Burnout-like power-sliding maneuvers will be severely disappointed here.

Typical races have you driving around a lap three times while fending off three other racers. The racing in the game offers a couple of different modes, but the experience is pretty standard at its core.
