The game takes place in one of three flying cars selectable at the start of the game. You rove around in a fully 3D cityscape, a maze of tall buildings while hunting down criminals. Destroy the bad guys with your basic ship's weapons and gain more powerful weapons as the game progresses. You are rewarded with credits for successfully taking down targets. BHunter also features networked gameplay for up to 8 players via a LAN or the internet.

BHunter is set in 2098 where law and order are rapidly crumbling and the city has turned to enlisting the help of BHunters to help curb crime. As a BHunter, it is your job to deal justice swiftly to designated criminal targets.
