It's [[Next Sunday A.D.]] following a [[Zombie Apocalypse]]. Civilization remains, though society is scarred by the harsh reality of living in a world overrun by zombies. They have turned to [[Blood Sport]] to entertain themselves, in the form of [[Title Drop|Blood Drive]]: a violent tournament of [[Vehicular Combat]] and zombie-splattering. The tournament takes place in the [[Fictional Counterpart|desert gamb]][[Viva Las Vegas|ling city]] of Las Ruletas. This particular tournament involves eight different drivers with distinct vehicles and interesting backgrounds. |

The player must first complete five preliminary tournaments, or cups, before being allowed to enter the championship cup.
