The game features a single-player campaign and a multiplayer mode which supports up to eight players. The game features demos of Wipeout Pure and .[1]
Fired Ups Campaign mode is set in an unnamed eastern European country that has been invaded by a neighbouring country only known as "The Republic". The player takes on the role of five different characters fighting as mercenaries for a resistance army in several different vehicles and in four different locations.
The player can take on the subsequent missions, whenever they please, otherwise they can find yellow scavenge tokens which, for each 10 tokens collected, will unlock new secondary weapons, which the player can then use against AI enemies that spawn to attack the player. These weapons include grenades, heavy missiles, and laser. There are also turrets around the map for the player to use.
Also available are challenges, taking on the form of large trucks that roam the city. Upon destruction of one, the player must seek and eliminate the required number of enemies before the allocated time elapses. For every level of challenge complete, more, and better, health and armor pickups will spawn for the player to collect.[2]
Fired Up features a multiplayer mode which supports up to eight players, through ad-hoc. The host can choose a variety of maps (some available as downloadable content), and game modes. Prior to the game starting, players can choose their preferred vehicle; the selection of vehicles includes resistance and republic vehicles from the Campaign mode.
