WARNING
Before playing this game, read the Xbox 360 Instruction Manual and
any peripheral manuals for important safety and health information.
Keep all manuals for future reference. For replacement manuals, see
www.xbox.com/support or call Xbox Customer Support (see inside of
back cover).
Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games
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 taking the following precautions:
• Sit farther from the television screen.
• Use a smaller television screen.
• Play in a well-lit room.
• Do not play 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.

EARNING KUDOS & CREDITS
EARNING KUDOS & CREDITS
Kudos measure the style, speed, skill, and daring you demonstrate
when racing.
How Do You Earn Kudos?
When you perform a stylish maneuver during a race, you earn
a certain number of Kudos that are added to your Kudos Stash.
After about two seconds, the Stash moves into your Kudos Bank.
However, if you pull off another maneuver before your Stash moves
to the Bank, you can earn a Combo Bonus. The more moves you
can string together before your Stash moves to your Bank, the
more Kudos you earn for your Combo Bonus.
There’s just one catch—if you collide with an object before the
Stash moves to your Bank, you will lose any Combo Bonus you
might have been building. If you don’t have a Combo Bonus, you’ll
lose your Stash.
Maximizing Your Kudos
In
PGR 3
, the more you challenge yourself, the more Kudos
you can earn. For example, if you overtake an opponent while
competing in a Steel medal event, you’ll earn some Kudos,
but you’ll earn more if you execute the same maneuver while
competing in a Platinum medal event.
What Do You Do with Kudos?
When you earn a certain number of Kudos, your Kudos rank
increases. Your Kudos rank is like your report card—it’s how you
prove your worth to all of the other racers out there.
Each time your rank increases, you earn credits that can be used
to purchase cars. You also unlock concept cars as you progress
through the
credits, see page 11.
PGR 3
ranks. For more information about earning
Xbox Live Kudos
You earn Kudos when racing on Xbox Live in exactly the same way
you do in Single Player racing.
Maximizing Your Xbox Live Kudos
Obviously, racing with style and coming in first are going to earn
you Kudos. But if you really want to rack up Ks, you should race
against more opponents, race against cars that are better than
yours, race against players with higher Xbox Live Kudos rankings,
and finish with a faster time than your opponents.
Xbox 360 Achievements
In addition to Kudos, Xbox 360™ Achievements give you another
way to track and recognize your progress in playing
You earn Xbox 360 Achievement badges when you reach key
milestones, such as earning all Platinum medals while using
manual transmission or buying every Lamborghini in the game.
You can view both the available Xbox 360 Achievement badges
and the ones you’ve earned by choosing Achievements from the
Main Menu, and then choosing Xbox 360 Achievements.
You can also earn Badges of Honor when playing

In addition to earning Kudos to move up in rank, you also earn
credits that you can use to buy cars. The only restriction on
which cars you can buy is the number of credits required, and the
credits required to buy some of the vehicles featured in
into six and even seven figures.
You receive credits when you complete an event. The number of
credits you receive depends on the difficulty level you chose before
racing. The more difficult the level, the more credits you receive.
Keep in mind that credits are cumulative. You can complete the
same event numerous times and earn more credits each time you
complete it. And, you can earn credits for completing both Single
Player and online events.

Earning Badges of Honor
New to
PGR 3
, Badges of Honor are awarded to recognize key
milestones in your racing career. You can check out your Badge
status by choosing Achievements from the Main Menu, and then
choosing Badges.
You can earn Badges of Honor in three different categories—Race
Craft, Career, and Online.
Race Craft Badges
Race Craft Badges of Honor are awarded when you complete
major milestones, such as 10 back-to-back victories or your first
really long powerslide.
Career Badges
Career Badges of Honor are awarded to recognize your success
in progressing through Gotham Career mode. You’ll earn a Career
Badge, for example, when you earn all Bronze or all Platinum
medals in Gotham Career mode.
Online Badges
Online Badges of Honor are awarded to recognize key milestones
in your Xbox Live racing career. You’ll earn an Online Badge, for
example, when you earn a certain number of Kudos online or when
you’ve been on a winning streak.

GHOSTS & LEADERBOARDS
Ghosts
A Ghost, which is a replay of a previous race or Kudos event,
appears as a semi-transparent image of a car that races at the
same time you do. Your car can pass through the Ghost image
without crashing.
PGR 3
automatically saves a Ghost of your best performance in
each event, and you can always load the Ghost to race against it
and challenge yourself to new heights.
Why would you use a Ghost? Race against your friends’ Ghosts to
learn how they drove and which car they used to set a fast lap and
get the most Kudos. Then, upload your Ghost to show them who’s
the better driver.
With Xbox Live, you can always race a Ghost of the world’s best
performance for any event in Online Career mode.
Leaderboards
The Leaderboards keep track of Kudos earned both in Gotham
Career mode and on Xbox Live. If you are connected to Xbox Live,
you can check the Leaderboards before each race to see the top
players’ results (and where you rank, if you’ve previously completed
that event).
After a race, the Leaderboards are updated automatically, so you
can see how you compare to the top drivers. If you finish in the
top 10, your Ghost will be automatically uploaded to the Xbox
Live Leaderboards.
DRIVING VIEWS
PGR 3
features five different driving views. To switch among the
views while driving, press the left and right bumpers on your Xbox
360 controller.
Chase Far and Chase Near Views
Chase Far is the default driving view in
Chase Near views are helpful for beginners, because you can see
how your car is responding to your driving. For example, is your
tail sliding out when you take a turn quickly?
On-Car High and On-Car Low Views
On-Car High and On-Car Low are the preferred views of hardcore
PGR 3
racers, In these views, your car isn’t visible, but your
tachometer, speedometer, and current gear indicator are
displayed on the HUD.
Dash View
As its name implies, Dash view, which is new to
a through-the-windshield view of the track ahead, along with a view
of your car’s interior and dashboard, including your gloved hands

London

Square, Piccadilly Circus, Admiralty Arch, and the London Eye.
New York City
Cross the East River more quickly than any real-world commuter
ever has as you race across the Brooklyn Bridge as though it’s
a long straightaway (and in this case, it is). Give your regards to
Broadway as you high-tail it through Times Square.
Tokyo
Feel the freedom as you fishtail and then fly by the front of
the Shinjuku police station. Make the crowds gathered around
the Nishiguchi Bus Stops wish they didn’t have to use public
transportation as they watch you accelerate past them.
Nürburgring
While you may enjoy your sightseeing in some cities, you’ll need
to turn all your attention to the track when you take on Germany’s
Nürburgring. Nicknamed the “Green Monster,” Nürburgring is
considered by many to be the toughest and most demanding race

When racing in Playtime mode, you can forget about showing off

Create Race
With Create Race, you start by choosing from among three
available events: Street Race, Eliminator, and Capture the Track.
You then choose a specific city and track on which to race.
For all of these Playtime events, you can choose to race as an
individual competitor, or you can choose a side (red or blue) on
which to compete.
Street Race and Eliminator
The Playtime versions of Street Race and Eliminator work just as
they do in the Single Player and online versions (see page 16 for
details), except there are no Kudos or credits.
Capture the Track
In Capture the Track, the track you’re competing on is divided into
a number of sections. As competitors race around the track, the
player who completes the section first “captures” that track for
themselves or for their side.
A Capture the Track event ends when a specified number of
laps are complete (the player or side with the most captured
sections wins).
Find Race
With Find Race, you can create a game for other players to find

How Do You Create a Custom Track?
The idea of building your own custom track using your Xbox

surprisingly simple.
To build a custom track, you start by choosing a city. Then, using
or to navigate your way around a graphical map, you select
where you want the race to start and finish and which waypoints
(street segments) you want to include to connect the two.
Keep in mind, too, that if you prefer to be surprised, you can

MUSIC PLAYLISTS
YOUR MUSIC
While racing, you have your choice of nine music playlists that you
can change on the fly. Each playlist features both big names and
ground-breaking newcomers showcasing a different music genre.
Alternative Rock
This playlist includes tracks from well-known artists, such
as Morrissey and the Presidents of the United States of
America, along with bands including Hot Hot Heat
and Bloc Party.
Rock
The multi-platinum selling band Staind is joined by hard rock
newcomers Secret Machines, Dark New Day, and Skindred.
Electronica & Dark Electronica
These playlists includes heavy hitters, such as the Chemical
Brothers and New Order, along with Aphex Twin and Orbital.
Hip Hop
Focusing on UK and Indie artists, this playlist features tracks from
The Streets, Kool Keith, and C-Mone.
Industrial
Skinny Puppy and Covenant, godfathers of the genre, are
featured on this playlist, along with several up-and-comers.
Bhangra
Bhangra music, which blends India’s classical heritage with
London’s club sound, is one of the hottest music genres around.
Medieval Punditz leads the list of featured Bhangra artists.
Japanese Pop
With its eclectic mix of infectious bubble-gum pop and bands that
stretch the bounds of any genre, the Japanese pop playlist has
plenty of surprises in store.
Classical
Driving to the giant brass sounds of Beethoven or the clock-work
counterpoint of Bach is as refreshing as it is exhilarating. If
the huge choral music of Verdi doesn’t make you drive faster,
nothing will.
If you want more control over the music you hear, you have a
couple of options for listening to your own personal music while
you’re racing.
Streaming Music from a Personal
Audio Player
To stream music from a personal audio player to your
Xbox 360 console
1. Connect the personal audio player to your Xbox 360
console using a USB cable.
2. Configure the device to play through the USB port.
3. Go to the Xbox Dashboard, and select Media.
4. Select Music.
5. Select Connected Devices, and then select the music or

WARRANTY
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Limited Warranty For Your Copy of Xbox
Game Software (“Game”) Acquired in the
United States or Canada
Warranty
Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) warrants to you, the original purchaser
of the Game, that this Game will perform substantially as described in
the accompanying manual for a period of 90 days from the date of first
purchase. If you discover a problem with the Game covered by this warranty
within the 90-day period, your retailer will repair or replace the Game at
its option, free of charge, according to the process identified below. This
limited warranty: (a) does not apply if the Game is used in a business or for
a commercial purpose; and (b) is void if any difficulties with the Game are
related to accident, abuse, virus or misapplication.
Returns within 90-day period
Warranty claims should be made to your retailer. Return the Game to your
retailer along with a copy of the original sales receipt and an explanation
of the difficulty you are experiencing with the Game. At its option, the
retailer will either repair or replace the Game. Any replacement Game will
be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or 30 days
from receipt, whichever is longer. If for any reason the Game cannot be
repaired or replaced, you will be entitled to receive your direct (but no other)
damages incurred in reasonable reliance but only up to the amount of the
price you paid for the Game. The foregoing (repair, replacement or limited
damages) is your exclusive remedy.
Limitations
This limited warranty is in place of all other express or statutory warranties,
conditions or duties and no others of any nature are made or shall be
binding on Microsoft, its retailers or suppliers. Any implied warranties
applicable to this Game or the media in which it is contained are limited to
the 90-day period described above. TO THE FULL EXTENT ALLOWED BY
LAW, NEITHER MICROSOFT, ITS RETAILERS OR SUPPLIERS ARE LIABLE
FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE POSSESSION, USE OR MALFUNCTION OF
THIS GAME. THE FOREGOING APPLIES EVEN IF ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS
ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. Some states/jurisdictions do not allow limitations
as to how long an implied warranty lasts and/or exclusions or limitations
of incidental or consequential damages so the above limitations and/or
exclusions of liability may not apply to you. This limited warranty gives you
specific rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state/
jurisdiction to state/jurisdiction.
