The world has become massively overpopulated. The rapidly
expanding network society has been crippled by rising crime rates
and is on the verge of meltdown.
A new system, ‘Project-K’, has been created in an attempt to resolve
the situation. At the core of the system is an artificial intelligence
center named ‘Eden’.
Eden has more advanced A.I. than any machine that has ever
previously existed. It has the ability to process vast amounts of
information at once, and to use that information to form its own
uniquely advanced independent thoughts. Some would say that Eden
has even developed a consciousness.
However, Eden became confused when the flow of information being
sent to it began to greatly increase in speed and volume. Eden started
to question the meaning of its existence and the consequences of its
actions. Finding itself surrounded by paradoxes, and realizing the
power of autonomy which it possessed, Eden began to shut itself down.
Now you are about to travel into the cyberspace of the Project-K
Network on a mission to re-awaken Eden. You must gain access to
each area and level of the system, destroying any Viruses and
Firewalls you encounter.
Open your senses...
Set up your PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system according
to the instructions in its instruction manual. Make sure the MAIN
POWER switch (located on the back of the console) is turned off.
Attach game controllers / other accessories as appropriate BEFORE
you switch your console on. It is advised that you do not insert or
remove accessories once the power is turned on.
Now turn the console ON by pressing the MAIN POWER switch and
press the [STANDBY]/RESET button. When the [STANDBY] indicator
lights up green, press the [OPEN] button and the disc tray will open.
Place the Rez™ disc on the disc tray with the label side facing up.
Press the [OPEN] button again and the disc tray will close. Finally,
press the [STANDBY]/RESET button again before commencing play.
PLEASE NOTE: the information in this manual was correct at the time
of going to print, but some minor changes may have been made late in
the game’s development. All screenshots for this manual have been
taken from the English version of this game, and some screenshots
might have been taken from pre-completion screens that differ slightly
from those in the finished game.
PLEASE NOTE: throughout this manual, the term ‘Memory Card’ is
used to describe the Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) (product code SCPH-10020 E). Memory Cards (SCPH-1020 E)
designed for use with PlayStation® (PS one™) format software
are not compatible with this game.
To save game settings and progress, insert a Memory Card into
MEMORY CARD slot 1 of your PlayStation®2. You can load saved
game data from the inserted Memory Card, or any Memory Card
containing previously saved Rez™ data. Make sure there is enough
free space on your Memory Card before commencing play.

Information

This screen gives you access to the Network Sub-Systems or ‘Areas’.
Initially, you will only be able to enter Area 1 - other Sub-Systems will
be unlocked as you progress through the Network.
The stats for each Area you have cleared will be displayed in the
bottom right-hand corner of the Sub-System Select Screen:
ANALYZATION - the percentage of layer levels you accessed
SHOT DOWN - the percentage of Viruses you successfully
destroyed
SUPPORT ITEM - the percentage of support items you
collected
You can exit the Sub-System Select Screen by pressing the button.
This will reset your status to the default First Form, so you must select
YES to confirm.
8 9
Before you can gain access to Eden, you must unlock the various Area
Sub-Systems by destroying the Viruses that inhabit them.
THE LOCK-ON LASER
To lock onto a Virus, aim the cursor at it and press the ✖ button.
If you hold the ✖ button down, you can then aim the cursor
at other targets, up to a maximum of eight. When you release the
✖ button, the laser will open fire, and all the Viruses you have locked
onto will be destroyed.
AREAS
Each Area is made up of two phases – the Infiltration Phase, where
you must destroy Viruses to hack into the System, and the Boss
Phase, where you will face the Firewall protecting the Network Core.
To clear the Area, you must defeat the Firewall Boss.
Areas are unlocked successively. To unlock Area 5, you must achieve
100% analyzation in Areas 1-4 by shooting every single Network
Opening. Your analyzation percentage is determined by the number
of Network Openings you shoot – for example, if you only shoot eight
of the Network Openings in an area, you will only score 80%.
Network Openings are explained in the next section.
HACKING PROCEDURE
LAYER LEVELS
Each Area is made up of ten layer levels. To enter a new Layer Level,
first destroy the Password Protector. This will give you access to the
Network Opening, which you must then shoot eight times.
CHANGING YOUR PERSPECTIVE
When you are in the network, you move along a predetermined system
corridor and cannot change your position. Nor can you dodge attacks
from missiles – you must use your Lock-On cursor to protect yourself
before they hit you. However, you can change your perspective by
pushing up, down, left, or right direction with the left analog stick. The
range of your viewpoint can be up to 150º in the Infiltration Phase.
However, in the Boss Phase, you will have a 360º clear view.
10 11
These items will appear when you destroy certain Viruses.
To collect an item, lock onto it and shoot as you would an enemy.
PROGRESS NODE
If you fill up the Progress Gauge by collecting eight of these, you
will evolve into the next form.
3X PROGRESS NODE
These will fill up three bars in your Progress Gauge.
SUPPORT ITEMS
Level 00
Level 01 Level 02 Level 03

EVOLUTION
These are the forms you can evolve and devolve into. When your
hacking session begins, you will be in the First Form state. Evolution
only occurs when the user acquires enough Progress Nodes to fill the
8 blocks in the Progress Gauge. Keep in mind that normal Progress
Nodes fill only 1 block in the Progress Gauge, while a 3X Progress
Node will fill 3. If you are damaged by a Virus, you will devolve into
the previous form. If you are already in the Zero Form state when you
are damaged, it’s game over.
