Safety Information

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.

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.

Other Important Health and Safety Information The Xbox Instruction
Manual contains important health and safety information that you
should read and understand before using this software.

Avoid Damage to Your Television

Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or

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 played safely 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 safely on your set.

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

The backup files (System and Replay) of this game can only be saved
on Xbox’s internal hard disk unit. Never turn off the Xbox console while
saving the file. Note also that this game does not support the memory
unit (sold separately).
