These conditions may trigger previously undetected epileptic symptoms or seizures in persons who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. If you, or anyone in your family, has an epileptic condition or has had seizures of any kind, consult your physician before playing. IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE use and consult your physician before resuming gameplay if you or your child experience any of the following health problems or symptoms:

• dizziness

• altered vision

• eye or muscle twitches

• loss of awareness

• disorientation

• seizures, or

• any involuntary movement or convulsion.

RESUME GAMEPLAY ONLY ON APPROVAL OF YOUR PHYSICIAN. _____________________________________________________________________________

Use and handling of video games to reduce the likelihood of a seizure

• Use in a well-lit area and keep as far away as possible from the television screen.

• Avoid playing when you are tired or need sleep. _____________________________________________________________________________

Stop using the system immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms: lightheadedness, nausea, or a sensation similar to motion sickness; discomfort or pain in the eyes, ears, hands, arms, or any other part of the body. If the condition persists, consult a doctor.

Welcome new competitor. I’m known as SAGE, a sentient tasked with guiding Meridian City through crisis. Although my core systems were recently disabled, I was able to secure this garage and beckon you. The disruption to my network has all but neutralized the police force, and now a group known as the Ascendants has resumed a deadly vehicular tournament, spanning all major districts. If we are to return peace to Meridian City, we must join their competition, infiltrate their events, strike them down, and acquire their vehicles and weapons by force.

The fate of Meridian City is in your hands.
