Totaled! is an action racing game, similar to the Destruction Derby games. Dispensing with any pretense of simulation, the game aims for arcade gameplay. The bright colors in the art style and easy way the cars can be turned with just a press of the handbrake all signal that this is not a game to be taken seriously.

Although cosmetically the damage is locational, the cars do not suffer unduly if the damage is taken all in one area. Unlike the Destruction Derby games, you can continue to use your front to ram opponents throughout a match. Rather than have the cars race laps, matches more often take place in open arenas of sand, ice, grass, mud, and tarmac.

Multiplayer comes with different game modes. Traditional Last Man Standing is supplemented with multiple variations. A Hunter game-type, where one car is designated a target, and points can only be scored by hitting it. There is also a score target that encourages going for the big points hits and stunts, rather than destroying competitors. Others are defensive and offensive driving challenges and a game type where only points scored by performing jumps and stunts are counted. Multiplayer is supported through 4-player split-screen, but not through Xbox Live play or the system link.
