SAFETY INFORMATION
About Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual
images, including ashing 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.
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 nd 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.

Welcome to
You don’t go this fast.
We don’t care what kind of car you drive or where you
drive it. We don’t care if you’re a ghter pilot, a space
pirate, a skydiver, or some sort of bio-engineered
cheetah person. You don’t go this fast.
There are a handful of people on Earth who can handle
these speeds, who can keep their seats clean when the
world outside the cockpit window starts to blur from
the sheer freaking velocity.
And now, for the rst time, they’re all in one place. A
world championship has been created for the fastest
men and women on Earth. It’s never been done before,
kids. It’s bigger than you, so don’t be ashamed of your
ignorance. This will explain it all.
This here, in your untrustworthy little hands, is a taste
of the glory.

GETTING STARTED
Main Menu
You know, it’s not as if they just hop in their SPARCs
and start driving around and frying each other with
lasers. It’s a little more nuanced than that.
Tournament
There’s a tournament, sure, a world championship, and
your Aunt Boopie knows about that.
Time Attack
And sometimes, maybe a racer will hop in his or her
ride and just tear buttocks around the track. No
weapons, no other racers. Just the speed rush
for companionship.
Quick Race
But

runs—no prizes, no world rankings. The point: six
racers, one track, weapons allowed.
Multiplayer
Then, maybe two, or three, or four friends will get
together for a nice friendly race.
racers also have little private
Options
A racer has to get everything just so. The right
tunes, the right HUD settings, keeping up on the
latest records and standings—it’s important stuff, kid.
Pay attention.

Driving Controls
Face it, loser. You’re never getting your greasy mitts on
the control yolk of a Single Person Armed Racing Craft
(SPARC). You’d probably just smear the thing into a wall
anyway, so we’re all better off.
But we know you’d high-jump over your grandma for a
peek inside one of these sweet babies, so peek away.
Don’t drool on the paper, freak. It wrinkles.

HUD
Your

heroes don’t just look out the
window and steer. Every SPARC is equipped with a
Heads-Up Display (HUD) that gives every racer a
complete picture of his or her speed, weapons, shields,
and race position.
