Description:
Breakneck is a full-contact pursuit game, which combines the strategy of a game of chase with the full-on fighting and characters of Mortal Kombat and Tekken.

In the distant future, when all distinct cultures and individuality have been banned by the government, a group of rebellious punks fights to preserve what is left of their uniquely mixed cultural identity and style. The band of outcasts have rediscovered an ancient ritual combat, which takes them to distant places, battling amongst themselves in a series of abandoned arenas, in order to find their champion of champions.

You must overcome obstacles such as moving platforms, water, sinking blocks, steam jets and teleporters, all the while taking on some of most skilled and ruthless opponents. Blood Lines boasts over 100 special effects, with 3 difficulty levels: Bronze Medal, Silver Medal and Gold Medal. Each level has its own set of unique arenas with increasingly difficult layouts. The enemy characters are progressively challenging and the pace gets more and more hectic.

Breakneck was being developed for release in the US, however Midway Entertainment abandoned the game at the eleventh hour. Sony Computer Entertainment of Europe decided to publish it in Europe as "Bloodlines."
