The game blended the two genres also found in its predecessor, car combat and first-person shooting. It contained a linear single-player storyline, which consisted of the aftermath of an apocalypse, caused by wealthy corporations (Insiders) that were angered and financially damaged by the general public's (Outsiders) use of free orgone energy. The protagonist was an unnamed silent Outsider, whom would battle both Insiders and other gangs while increasing his reputation in a like-minded gang called The Company. "Redline" included support to be played online using the MPlayer.com and Heat.net online services. It was available for play on their demo version even before the game was released. After those companies shut down, servers were moved to Gamespy Arcade.
