Rockstar Games updated the gaming mode of its GTA Online "Grand Theft Auto Five" by introducing the "Deadline" challenge, an adversarial multiplayer game mode, a statement from its web site says. The "Deadline" challenge mode is reminiscent of a 1982 science fiction movie, "Tron."

The latest update on "Grand Theft Auto Five" comes a delight after Rockstar announced it will ban users who cheat on the games. With the new challenge mode, players can take advantage of futuristic motorbikes, which come as part of the update. The bikes, which Rockstar Games named as "Nagasaki Shotaro," are neon-colored and produce explosive neon light trail as they make several maneuvers. The light trail is by itself a defense system that can abolish foes. These bikes are "blazingly fast," according to its web site and can be played by two and four players.

"The Shotaro delivers a driving experience that is out of this world," Rockstar Games says on its web site, adding that the bikes are equipped with sufficient energy and capable of hyper speed. But for enthusiasts to unlock additional bikes for acquisition at its Legendary Motorsport, they must first play the "Deadline Adversary Mode."

Rockstar Games also includes freebies for its Shotaro owners. For a limited time, they can get Nagasaki T-shirt for free to add to their collection once they make any purchases. The "Grand Theft Auto 5's" Deadline Outfit, once unlocked will allow gamers to purchase any items from its clothing store.

On the "Deadline Adversary Mode," the players, which may number up to four, are mounted on their respective differently colored Nagasaki Shotaro. Whoever comes in contact with a Shotaro trail light will unfortunately explode. So in order for the players to win the game, they should craft maneuvers that would force their opponents to cross their trail's path, its web site says. Other power-ups include "Boost" to accelerate speed, "Zoned" for précised movement and "Hop" to let the trail light leap. Online bonuses are available until November 21, Monday, says the Rockstar Games.
