The game's story consists of eight themed levels (such as snow and desert), but lacks any substantial narrative or lore, leaving players feeling that the story is non-existent and underdeveloped. While there are additional side missions and varied vehicles, the overall experience is more focused on gameplay mechanics than storytelling, making it feel like a short, arcade-style game rather than a narrative-driven one.

- “Story is still non-existent, and that's an untapped potential.”
- “The story is still non-existent and that's an untapped potential.”
- “There are 8 'story' levels, the story content being the level has a theme – snow, desert, army, etc., but no actual story or lore as to what is going on.”
- “Yet, this isn’t a story-driven game; it’s a pick-up-and-play arcade game without the emphasis on high scores or score attacks.”
