The Fast and the Furious plays very similarly to the Cruis'n series of games also designed by Eugene Jarvis. There are 12 tracks in total and 16 cars to choose from. The game tracks are based on real life locations.

After entering enough credits to play, players can enter a PIN number using the built-in numeric keypad. This PIN number stores player data, including money earned from another game session.

Each race is simple, without shortcuts or alternative paths. Players can step on the gas, release it, and then quickly press it again for a little boost, and the car will blow the front wheels up in the air. When the front wheels are in the air and the player hits another car or jumps, the car will jump higher in the air and do cartwheels.
