When you begin a game for the first time a system profiler will check your system for optimal display settings. Choose a resolution from the menu and click OK. The game will begin. You can change this setting at any time from the OptionsGraphics menu (see Options section in this manual for more information).
5.MAIN MENU
The Main Menu offers four selections: New Game, Options, Multiplayer, Outlaw Challenge, and Quit. A full description of each menu item is detailed in this manual. Quit will immediately exit the game.
6.PROFILE MENU
The profile menu keeps track of your progress through the game. Up to eight profiles can be stored here, so multiple users can play, or you can play through with different body styles. To start a game, click on the profile desired and proceed, or click load profile once selected. The selected profile will be highlighted. To start a new profile, click on New Profile and enter the name you desire. You’ll be prompted to choose a body style of car. There are no differences in performance in the initial cars, it’s just a matter of style preference. Performance depends on your own ability to drive and your choice of upgrades. To delete a profile, select the profile you want to delete and click on delete profile. A confirmation message will ask you if you are sure. Once deleted, a profile can not be restored. You’ll be able to save your profile on this screen, and you’ll also be able to save after each race in the “Stats” screen. If you exit the game without saving, you’ll be taken back to your last saved profile the next time you play.
NEW PROFILE--Activates the Body Style selection screen and allows you to start a fresh profile.
REMOVE PROFILE--Permanently deletes a profile. LOAD PROFILE--Loads the selected profile.
SAVE PROFILE--Saves your current progress. This option is also available after each race, in the “Stats” screen.
BACK--Returns you to the previous screen.
NEXT--Takes you to “The Dash” to make your preparations to race.
7.“THE DASH” SCREEN
- 3 -
THE DASH is the area where you track your progress, buy upgrades, and test your new purchases before taking to the streets.
The CURRENT STATUS area displays the following:
NAME: This is your current profile name.
GREEN: The amount of money you currently have available. RESPECT: How many respect points you have on the street.
CLASS: The current race class that you are in. You will be allowed to race in new areas as you progress in class. Graduating to a new class is accomplished by earning enough respect on the street to be invited to the next secret racing area. BEST TIME: This shows the best time you have raced with your car, derived from either the Test Drive, or in a race.
WIN/LOSS: This is your career win/loss statistics.
COST/RACE: Cars require maintenance, and expensive parts require expensive maintenance. Each time you race, your money will be deducted based upon the parts you need to maintain. This money goes for gas, tire wear, repairs, etc.
After buying upgrades, you may want to take your vehicle out for a TEST DRIVE. You will be taken to your favorite abandoned drag strip to test your driving skills. This will help you determine who you should challenge when you get on the streets.
PARTS CHECK: The parts check feature lets you see the part chosen for upgrade and read additional information about what that part will do for your car or respect.
BUYING UPGRADES is a simple matter, if you’ve got the green. Clicking on an available upgrade will bring up more information about that particular item. The UPGRADES AVAILABLE screen will tell you the name, cost, and effects of the upgrade. Note that some items will upgrade your performance only, some will upgrade your respect only, and some will affect both. Once you have chosen your upgrade, click on the “Buy Upgrade” button to purchase it. You’ll see your current car package listed on the left.
VIEW CAR: Clicking on this button will let you see the latest upgrades to your vehicle. When in the view car environment, moving the mouse will let you rotate around the car, and hitting the Escape button, or Space Bar, will bring you back to the dash.
The RACE CLASS buttons are where you select the street you’ll be racing on. When you start the game, you’ll be racing CLASS “D”. As you gain respect at that secret race venue, you’ll be allowed to follow the best racers to the next secret drag area. You can always go back and race a lower class once you’ve been there. To advance to the next class, you need a certain level of respect.
