INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the most destructive racing game ever created. Full Auto is designed to give you everything you want in a racer: stunning graphics, intense speed, massive destruction, sleek, customizable vehicles, innovative features, and tough competition. If Full Auto was limited to the twenty-one customizable metal machines (muscle cars, exotics, SUVs, tuners, classics, and more) racing through three destructible environments packed with high-speed action, the game would rock pretty hard.
But it rocks harder than that. Way harder. That’s because Full Auto takes those glossy speedsters and lets you add machine guns, rockets, mines, smoke screens, and cannons in every combination. So you can blow stuff up—just about everything in the game is destructible—in addition to smashing it up with your bumper. Explosions, fire, and mayhem ensue.
And the fun doesn’t stop there. In keeping with its pedal-to-the-metal ethos, Full Auto rewards guts and daring over caution at every turn. The more style you show behind the wheel, the more Boost you earn to dust the competition. And the more things you blow up, the more of the revolutionary Unwreck time-reversing energy you earn so that you can bounce back a few seconds in time to cheat death. So stomp on the gas, flex your trigger finger, and drive faster than fear—and your competitors—can follow.

In Full Auto, you can compete in Career Mode for an in-depth combat racing experience, or jump into Arcade, Head-to-Head, and Xbox Live®to pick-up-and-play single races.
HEAD-TO-HEAD In Head-to-Head, you can race against a friend (or enemy) via split­screen, competing on any tracks that you’ve unlocked in Career Mode. Except for the fact that there are two players, the mechanics are the same as Arcade Races, described below.
XBOX LIVE If you’re connected to Xbox Live, take the skills you’ve honed in offline racing and put your reputation on the line in single races for up to 8 players online. For more information, see Xbox Live on p. 11.
ARCADE RACES Arcade Mode provides quick, pick-up-and-play access to all the tracks, cars, weapons, and events that you’ve unlocked in Career Mode.
STARTING A RACE There are five race types:
DOWN-AND-BACK Race to a point and back to the Start Line.
RAMPAGE With guns blazing, destroy a specified quota
of bystanders before time runs out.
POINT-TO-POINT Cross the finish line first on a linear racetrack.
CIRCUIT RACING Race to the finish line in a multiple lap
circuit race.
LAP KNOCKOUT Complete each lap ahead of the last car to
continue. Finish last on any lap and you’re eliminated from competition.
Once you’ve selected a race type, the Track Menu screen appears. From here, select any unlocked track and proceed.
• To change opponent type, number of opponents, AI difficulty, and
the start direction of the selected track, press X and change settings from the menu that appears.
Once you’ve chosen the event type and the track, the Car Menu screen appears.
• To select the car model, moveLleft/right.
• To change the color of the selected car, moveLup/down.
(To toggle alternate skins, press X.)
• To learn more about the vehicles in Full Auto, see Vehicles on p. 13.
• You can’t select vehicles, colors, or skins that are locked.
Once you’ve selected your vehicle, you can choose its weapons package from the Weapon Select screen.
• To select one of the unlocked weapons packages, move
L
left/right. You can’t select packages that are locked.
• To tune the currently highlighted weapons package, if unlocked,
press X.
• To learn more about the available weapons, see Weapons on p. 16.
Once you’ve selected a weapons package, the race begins. See Behind the Wheel on p. 07 for more information on driving your vehicle during the race. After the race, you can Restart the race to race the track again with your selected vehicle or return to the Main Menu to choose another race.
CAREER Career Mode is the heart of the Full Auto single-player experience. Career Mode comprises 16 Series that gradually increase in difficulty to complement the selection of faster, more powerful cars and weapons that you unlock through your accomplishments.
Since Career Mode unlocks cars, weapons, and tracks for use in the single race modes, it’s a good place to start. When you select Career from the Main Menu, the Career screen appears.

STATUS Select this option to view your stats and records.
This chapter walks you through the basics you need to survive your first race, from the vehicle’s HUD to the One Touch Replay feature.
HEADS UP DISPLAY While racing, your Heads Up Display keeps you up to date with the information you need to see at a glance. The HUD is the same no matter what vehicle you’re driving.
BOOST Boost gives you the nitro juice you need to burst ahead of the competition. Earn boost by performing stunts such as jumps and power slides. The flashier you drive, the more boost you get, as indicated on the blue Boost meter on the left side of the screen. Boost is only available when the meter is completely full, so be sure to refill the gauge as often as possible by sliding and jumping at every opportunity.
• To use Boost, press _.

UNWRECK There’s only one bad thing about the crazy-fun driving that earns you maximum Boost. Sometimes you wreck, big time. That’s where Full Auto’s revolutionary Unwreck feature comes in. Unwreck lets you turn back time a few seconds to that branching point in the time continuum just before “daring” turned into “dumb.” You can build up the Unwreck Meter on the right side of the screen by destroying the environment and taking out competitors. So don’t be shy with your guns, missiles, and bumper—earn enough Unwreck time so that you can rewind your way out of trouble. Skilled players may find additional uses for Unwreck, such as correcting faulty aim or undoing a botched turn.
• To rewind time with Unwreck, press and hold `or tap to use all
available Unwreck.
SELF-DESTRUCT If you get in a bad situation or simply want to deprive a competitor of a kill, you can self-destruct your vehicle and re-start at your current position after a brief delay. Your first option should always be to Unwreck, but if your meter is empty sometimes it’s quicker to blow your vehicle up than try to get it sorted out (when it’s stuck in a pile of debris, for instance).
• To self-destruct, press <.
ONE-TOUCH REPLAY Full Auto features One-Touch Replay at all times during offline racing, allowing instant access to cinematic replays of every moment of glorious destruction or sublime driving maneuvers as they happen. Who wants to wait for the end of the race to see the good stuff?
