There are two main game modes: A race mode and a TimeTrial mode. For the races itself, it is divided into normal races and Elite Challenge races - the latter only has two racers, you and the rival. Also, if you complete all 12 courses in one sitting, you will unlock a boss race against a shadowy female figure, you will gain a trophy upon defeating her. The game also contains cars licensed from Ford. These cars can be customized, but only if after a race is completed. And the customization item is pre-determined, you just have to accept or decline it. Finally, you can save your race and car data using a PIN system, similar to Raw Thrills arcade racers.

* BigDamPlot: Happens in two stages. In Canyon, the dam (which the player car can drive on) can occasionally be damaged by the nearby attack helicopters and leak out water. Meanwhile, in Bay Area, the dam (which the player car cannot drive on) can occasionally be destroyed by a large ship that tears through it.



* CompressedAdaptation: ''VR'' removes many elements that are present in ''DX'', such as the licensed cars (as this is a first-person game), the PIN save system (since there is no vehicle customization or scoring), and half of the race tracks.



* EverybodyOwnsAFord: Played straight. All the cars licensed in this game are Ford cars - Focus, Fiesta, Mondeo, Mustang, Mustang GT, and Ford GT.

''[=OverTake=]: The Elite Challenge'' is an arcade RacingGame that is developed by the Taiwanese gaming company [=IGS=]. Much like other racing games, you drive a car and try to make it to first place against various other rival racers. However, the catch is that instead of driving in a single track, you drive between several "mini-tracks" in one session, which means that you can go from a city to a forest in only a matter of time. Oh, and in each "mini-track", there has to be some sort of disaster happening involving a lot of explosions, [[StuffBlowingUp because it looks cool]]. There are 12 "mini-tracks" in the game, ranging from a city to a [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disney-inspired]] [[SouvenirLand theme park]] to a ''[[LavaAddsAwesome volcano]]''.

''[=OverTake=]'' first came out in 2013 in its simplest form. In 2017, two [[UpdatedRerelease Updated Rereleases]] in the form of ''[=OverTake DX=]'' and ''[=OverTake VR=]'' came out in 2017 and 2018, respectively. The former is ''[=OverTake=]'' with motion sensors on the seat, whilst the latter is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a VR version]] of ''DX'', letting you experience ''[=OverTake=]'' more immersively.

!This series contains examples of:
* AdaptedOut: ''VR'' only contains 6 tracks, compared to the original and ''DX'''s 12.
* BlindIdiotTranslation: The disclaimer in ''DX''.
--> ATTENTION
--> The following people should not playing the game:
--> Patients of hypertension / Heart disease / Pregnant / Drunk / Easily feel dizzy
* CallBack: In some circumstances, when racing in Freeway, you will see a burning airplane about to crash to the ground in the beginning of the track. Later, nearing the end of the track, the same airplane returns, acting as a hazard for the players [[ComingInHot since it crashes to the racetrack]].
* CoolGate: Whenever you exit a track, a futuristic tunnel-type gate appears that sends the player to the next (pre-determined) track.
* {{Cutscene}}: Before you start a race in ''VR'', you're treated with a cutscene where robotic hands assemble the car for you, and your car gets lifted up to the starting position of the race.
* EverybodyOwnsAFord: Played straight. All the cars licensed in this game are Ford cars - Focus, Fiesta, Mondeo, Mustang, Mustang GT, and Ford GT.
* EverythingTryingToKillYou: There are a LOT of explosions and property damage in the tracks themselves, ranging from a cable car exploding in City, to a chimney collapsing in Factory, to a satellite dish detaching in Desert.
* TheFaceless: The racer that you face in the boss race during campaign mode is this.
* {{Fauxrrari}}: Zig-zagged. In some machines, the cars are licensed Fords, but in other machines, the badges are removed and the names are changes, but they still resemble the original Ford cards.
* IndustrialWorld: Two stages: Factory and Junkyard.
* LavaSurfing: There are some moments when your car will inevitably drive over the molten rock in the Volcano stage.
* NitroBoost: Called "Turbo Jet" in game and may only be used twice per race.
* OutrunTheFireball: Inverted in Volcano. A big fireball is coming at you, and you have to dodge it.
* PasswordSave: Players can enter a six-digit numerical PIN to create a new account. Whenever a player wants to start a new session with a same account without worrying of data loss, they can use the same PIN sequence that they have created before. The data that is saved include race stats and vehicle customizations.
* PimpedOutCar: Every time you finish a race, you're given a random customization item for your car, and you can choose to accept or decline the new item. Other than that, there is no other way that players can customize their cars, except maybe changing their colors.
* ProductPlacement: The Freeway stage contains an advertisement for Speed Rider, another IGS-produced arcade racing game.
* RandomNumberGod:
** Some hazards in the racetracks, such as the crashed tanker truck in Freeway and the tree in Canyon either serves the left or right side of the road as the safe way. The side may be different in different races.
** In Junkyard's SinisterSubway section, there are three train tracks, two of which will have trains coming at you at a very fast speed. Of course, the locations of these two trains are randomized every time.
* ShoutOut:
** The structure in the start of the City stage is obviously a mashup between the Eiffel Tower and TokyoTower.
** The bridge in the Canyon stage looks strangely similar to the Golden Gate Bridge.
** The Paradise stage is based off Ride/DisneyThemeParks, complete with a castle in the entrance. Additionally, there is a ''Ride/PiratesOfTheCaribbean''-based ride and a ''Franchise/JurassicPark''-esque section that is named [[BlandNameProduct "Jurassic Ark"]].
** When it comes to the appearance of the racers, Lee [[BruceLeeClone looks pretty much like]] Creator/BruceLee, whilst Wayne, who wears a tuxedo, brings [[Franchise/JamesBond a certain British spy]] to mind.
** In-Universe: Freeway has a billboard advertising Canyon right before the players teleport to the next track.
* SpikesOfDoom: Sometimes, in the Ruins stage, there may be some giant stalagmites that pop up randomly.
* StuffBlowingUp: Every track will have some sort of explosion happening, and the debris may be present in the race track. Even moreso in the ''VR'' version.
* {{Teleportation}}: How the players go between one track to another. You can go from a city to a volcano or from an amusement park to an icy outpost by just crossing a futuristic-looking tunnel.
* UpdatedRerelease: ''DX'' is [=OverTake=] with a motion-controlled moving seat akin to ''VideoGame/{{Cruisn}} Blast'', whilst ''VR'' is ''DX'' but with added Virtual Reality.
* WritingAroundTrademarks: In some releases of the game, the names of the Ford cars are replaced with generic ones. Focus, for example, became Sport, whilst Mustang GT became Classic.
