Safety Information
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 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 gameplay 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 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.

INTRODUCTION TO THE HEADHUNTER WORLD
ollowing the cataclysmic events spawned by the spread of the Bloody Mary Virus, the city
F
has erupted in chaos. Millions were wiped out before a vaccine from the Stern Corporation
put a stop to the deadly disease. As law and order collapsed in the face of this tragedy, a new
disaster struck in the form of a calamitous earthquake that shook the city to its core. But out of
the ruins emerged a new order. Two distinct yet dependent societies were divided into separate
worlds: Above and Below.
In a world of corporate rule and media manipulation, nothing can be taken at face value.
Pursuing the truth behind a terrorist threat, veteran Headhunter Jack Wade and his rebellious
apprentice, Leeza X, are led into the greatest danger of their lives.
Each must face their darkest fears… together they must redeem a world facing chaos…
ABOVE AND BELOW
ABOVE
The world Above is a sunny, sterile, glass and chrome city. A high-rise, high-tech metropolis
served by elevators and elevated freeways. The perfect twenty-first century money machine
promises safety and comfort for the hard working and law-abiding.
Medical advances mean organs are no longer currency. People live longer, healthier, more
productive lives, bombarded by media which reinforces the image of an ideal society. It’s a
powerful state with strict laws, harsh punishments and rich rewards.
Those who do not conform are punished as misfits and sent to the labor colonies Below.
Few see this as unreasonable or unjust.
But Above is not without its enemies.

Page 8
BELOW
A network of subterranean labor colonies, Below is not a prison, but the place where everything
not wanted Above is sent. Criminals and undesirables, misfits and dropouts abide along with
industrial pollution and scientific experiments...
The world Below is mainly the product of earthquake damage. Colonies have been constructed
within natural craters and fissures, added to by excavation. Some remains of the old city still
stand alongside these purpose-built structures.
Criminals are sent to the harshest colonies, those involving hard labor. Lesser offenders and
non-criminals live in the relatively more pleasant areas. The most oppressive colonies are
located the furthest Below, while more ‘white-collar’ areas are closer to the precious daylight.
Each colony Below is a self-contained community, compelled to be productive in exchange for
necessities from Above. However, passage between colonies is restricted, and access to Above
is prevented by the harsh terrain and ferocious machines that guard all routes out.
Despite this, some inmates, so-called Migrants or ‘Migs’, have found ways to reach the surface
where they have joined with the terrorist Opposition Network to commit acts of sabotage
against the city.
The fight against the Opposition must be taken to the colonies. Though not all inmates Below
will be a Headhunter’s natural enemy, they are unlikely to be his ally either. And his real foes
have deeper, darker motives...

After watching the opening movies, you will start the game as Leeza X and you will be in Jack’s HQ.
There are no HUD items on display because you haven‘t picked up the IRIS yet (Intelligent
Realtime Information Scanner). If you direct Leeza around to the other side of Jack’s HQ, you
will find the IRIS system on the floor. Walk up to it, pick it up, and initialize the IRIS.
HUD
Once you acquire the IRIS system, a radar will appear in the top right corner of the screen. This
radar will show you a map of the level you are in (only areas you have explored will be shown unless
you have downloaded map data from a dataport) and the location of enemies.
You will also notice that by pressing and holding the right trigger
you can now enter Weapon Mode. After drawing your gun, HUD
items will appear in the bottom right corner of the screen. These
new icons show your health, selected weapon, and the ammo
for that weapon (loaded ammo/available ammo).

PRINCIPAL
CHARACTERS
Jack Wade
Twenty years older, wiser and
battle scarred, he is, was, and
always will be a Headhunter.
Today he keeps the streets
‘Above’ clean of criminals,
capturing Migs (Migrants) who
have escaped from ‘Below’ and
tracking Opposition agents
and saboteurs. Jack will have
nothing to do with ‘Below’ as
he’s still suffering the loss of his
son, who was snatched away
in the tunnels.
Leeza X
We first meet her as a child of
six, terrified by her gun-crazed
father, who Jack shoots on a
routine mission. She was told
that he was dead, and was then
raised on a citizen farm and
renamed Leeza X, erasing her
family name. Rebellious by
nature, she turned to being a
street kid and worked the black
market. When we rejoin her in
her mid-twenties, she’s no longer
vulnerable, but tough and
resourceful, quick-witted and
sharp tongued, high-spirited and
sexy, a force to be reckoned with.

Page 14
STERN CORP
Angela Stern
Now in her 40s, Angela has assumed control of the
Stern Corporation, running it with an iron fist.
By helping implement a new system of forced labor
‘Below’, she has made her company more rich and
powerful than ever before. The loss of her and Jack’s
son made her hard and embittered, relentless in
pursuit of a crime-free society. She no longer has
anything in common with Jack. She respects his
skills, but resents his lack of ideals and blames him
for the loss of their son.
THE OPPOSITION
MIGS
MIGS are the dangerous criminals ‘Below’.
They have managed to arrange routes between
colonies and also to ‘Above’. MIGS and Headhunters
do not see eye-to-eye and all MIGS should be
treated with caution by all Headhunters. The
Opposition network has tapped into the MIGS
network and uses them for all their activities.
MW3M
A legendary figure who has acquired near-mythical
status both ‘Above’ and ‘Below’. To the inmates he
is a mysterious but charismatic leader; the one man
capable of challenging those ‘Above’. He is believed
to be the leader of the ‘Opposition Network’.
