Speed Demons 2

Speed Demons 2 is an arcade highway racing game where you take to the roads as either one of the Demons, a chaotic racing gang, or an Enforcer, a vigilante trying to stop them. You can weave through rush-hour traffic, race rivals, escape Enforcers or ram traffic. The game includes 67 vehicles, 383 races and 10 modes, with races that take 2–3 minutes each.

Racing on the highway

Three chase-camera angles offer different views of the action: straight-down, high-angle chase and low-angle chase. You control your vehicle’s direction by moving the analog stick or mouse up and down, while separate buttons handle gas, braking and turbo or an ability. The vehicles and road hazards use cel-shaded visuals, whose outlines can be disabled; motion blur and tilt-shift effects are optional. The physics run at 120 Hz, while the visuals support 60 Hz or 120 Hz.

Game modes

The 10 modes set different goals for racing, evading or destroying vehicles:

• Race: Beat vehicles like yours to the finish line.
• Checkpoint: Reach five checkpoints before time runs out.
• Escape: Reach the finish line without being destroyed by Enforcers.
• Pursuit: As an Enforcer, destroy 10–18 specific Demons within the time limit.
• Takedown: As an Enforcer, destroy as many Demon vehicles as possible within the time limit.
• Rampage: Destroy as many vehicles of any type as possible within the time limit.
• Rally: Pass as many Demons as possible within the time limit.
• Slalom: Pass to the side of slalom markers and reach the finish line as quickly as possible.
• Scratchless: Reach the finish line with as few scratches as possible.
• Rush Hour: Pass as many traffic vehicles as possible before reaching the finish line.

Chapters and progression

The races are arranged across chapters, including bonus chapters with more challenging races built around specific themes or modes. Main chapters feature at least five new vehicles each. A three-star scoring system tracks your results, and progression allows you to advance after completing only around half of the races.
