After Twisted Metal 2 and Jet Moto, SingleTrac is currently working on Critical Depth, an undersea submarine adventure. In CD, 12 vehicles are pitted against each other in a battle to death undersea.

The Story: An explorer named Douglas McKragen finds an energy source and discovers an ancient structure known as "The Threshold". When approaching the structure, his sub starts malfunctioning and vanishes. Your mission is to find this structure before the others.

As mentioned, you have 12 subs to choose from, each having its own strengths and weaknesses. As for the gameplay, you can acquire many special weapons and power-ups. The unique feature here is the ability to go up or down. Going up real fast can make you jump out of the water and over land. Great way to escape your enemies when things get too tough.

When going down, you might find underwater caves for hiding and even hidden items for you to pick up. There is, however, a limit for how deep you can go. Each sub has its own "Critical Depth", meaning how deep it can go before imploding.
