Artifact Rush is a survival racing where you use the most modern weapon: missiles, machine-guns, mines and other technics destruction tools. The main feature that distinguishes "Artifact rush" from other is the unusual car control. Player firstly has to put his route at the map and wait while his opponents do the same. Then the main task is to defend agent's vehicle and destroy the enemy's cars, because now the car is driven by autopilot.
