ABOUT PHOTOSENSITIVE SEIZURES

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms including: lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms — children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures.

The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by:

• sitting farther from the television screen,

• using a smaller television screen,

• playing in a well-lit room, and

• not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR TELEVISION

Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially frontor rear-projection types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox games, are played on them. Static images presented during the normal course of game play may “burn in” to the screen, causing a permanent shadow of the static image to appear at all times, even when video games are not being played. Similar damage may occur from static images created when placing a video game on hold or pause. Consult your television owner’s manual to determine if video games can be safely played on your set.

If you are unable to find this information in the owner’s manual, contact your television dealer or the manufacturer to determine if video games can be played on your set.

Unauthorized copying, reverse engineering, transmission, public performance, rental, pay for play, or circumvention of copy protection is strictly prohibited.

PULL THE TRIGGER

Bullets are flying. No matter what side you’re on, you gotta shoot or die.

Are you a Criminal, Law Enforcement or someone who just wants to get the hell out?

Guess what. You’re all three. Just make sure the blood in the streets belongs to someone else. You pull the trigger, you pull hard time or you pull eternity in a pine box. Pick your weapon.

In Single Player mode, fight through the mean streets on both sides of the law…

. . . AS FREEZE

Freeze is a thug and

drug dealer who wants

out. He figures his days are numbered if he

doesn’t escape the life.

But not so fast — you

don’t just retire unless

someone pops a cap

in your brains and every other body part. You will

pull one last job while

Law Enforcement

and thugs alike try

to make this your last day on earth.

. . . AS DETECTIVE LESTER WILLIAMS

You know the streets as well as any Criminal. You’ll put

away a dirty cop as quick as a lawbreaker. Sometimes

you’ll work with a partner. He’ll know how to cover

your back. Just do the same for him or he’ll bleed

and die just like anyone else.

. . . AS SHAUN CALDERON, LEADER OF THE 22 STREET D-BOYS

You’re a gang leader, murderer and Freeze’s best friend. Every choice you make is the one that keeps you in power.
