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.
2
. . . 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.
