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.

Other Important Health and Safety Information. The Xbox Instruction
Manual contains important safety and health 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 safely 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.

Contact with Tir na Nog, one of the British Empire’s colonized planets,
has recently been suspended. The Imperial Space Force, head security
of this planet, reported that there were no colonists to be found in the
residential sections of Tir na Nog. This verifies earlier reports that the
colonists have disappeared. In their place, the Imperial Space Force
has confirmed an abnormal outbreak of huge insect-like life forms.

Our information also tells us that prior to Dr. Hebble Gate's disappear­ance, he was interested in researching how to genetically modify and
strengthen the Tir na Nog colonists.

I shall avoid making a prompt conclusion of what this means. The fact
is, these hordes of insects clearly are hostile and have murderous
intent for all humans. They are considered very ferocious, and have a
strong will to live.

The reports received from the Imperial Space Force give us reason to
execute the official order to dispatch GV Teams, both from the Hebble
Foundation and the Axis of Europe. We shall move on to investigate
and resolve the incident in Tir na Nog immediately.

We must eliminate

all elements that threaten

the prosperity of the British Empire.

STORY

1906 A.D., British Empire

I shall now explain to you what is known up to this point, and what is
speculated.

Since the approach of Halley’s Comet in 1835, the technological
advances in numerous fields have been astounding. The person of merit,
Dr. Hebble Gate, was the man behind the organization GV (GUNVALKYRIE),
and the leader of the Hebble Foundation. Everybody knows the famous
scientist Dr. Hebble Gate, yet nobody knows how he mysteriously dis­appeared. Now four years have passed and the world is still in shock.

You may have read the speculations and gossip stirring in the yellow
journalism and popular science magazines. Some report he was assas­sinated by third world terrorists, while others believe he was abducted
by alien life forms. They know nothing. The situation is worse than they
can imagine.

the mission with.

High Mobility attacks with Boost Actions

The insect-like enemy creatures on the Planet Tir na Nog are full of surprises.
They’re known for attacking in hordes, usually flying overhead, wearing a thick
exoskeleton for protection. To counter them, you must gain the advantage by making
full use of your GV Gearskin, and the special power of Halley’s Chosen. Master
the techniques described here, and accomplish your missions. We wish you good
luck.

Boost Jump

Pull and hold the Left trigger to jump up. You will ascend

until the Boost Gauge (p.12) displayed at the lower left of
the screen drops to zero. When the Boost Gauge drops to
zero, you will start to descend.

Boost Dash

On the ground or in the air, move Qand hold the left
thumbstick, then click and hold the left thumbstick
button simultaneously to boost forward at high speed. This

is an important action for escaping dangerous situations.

To prevent the proliferation and misuse of Hebble Technology and to keep new
world order, Dr. Hebble Gate founded the GUNVALKYRIE (GV) organization
along with the Axis of Europe. These organizations are comprised of Halley’s
Chosen from all over the world. Their superhuman abilities and armaments
represent the best of Hebble Technology. The mobility and attacking ability of
the GV Team (consisting of two members) is equal to one armored division.
