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.
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 symptomsÑchildren 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.

The Spartan’s Journey
300 BC - ANCIENT GREECE
Abandoned in the ancient City of Sparta as a child, the unnamed Spartan
was raised in the training camps of the warrior people.
Befriended by the twins Castor and Pollux and led by the great King
Leonidas, the Spartan quickly proves himself worthy of his allies as a true
warrior and a fearless hero.
A hero that his homeland desperately needs.
Only the City of Sparta remains defiant against the Roman Empire's
merciless invasion of the free world.
The Spartan's desire to save his home will take
him on a journey to find the answers to his
birth, his past and his destiny. Visited by
Greek Gods, he discovers the true
power within him. He is
commanded to fight the invading
Roman forces and, guided by the
Gods, he embarks on an epic
quest that takes him across
many lands, right to the heart
of the Roman Empire.
This is the journey of the Spartan
– born a warrior, destined to
become a Legend.

Playing the Game
DURING THE GAME
During the game pressing the START button pauses the game and brings up the in-game menu with the choices Command List, Options or Exit Game.
If you select Exit Game you will be taken back to the Main Menu, and if you have crossed any checkpoints you will be given the opportunity to save from the last checkpoint.
If you select Options you will be presented with the in-game options where you can customise your preferences.
LOAD GAME
Load a previously saved story mode game.
ARENA CHALLENGE
The Arena Challenge is an additional game mode that casts the Spartan into an arena with various enemies. Each round is progressively more difficult than the last.
Select the arena location and which enemies are to be faced there, and then choose which unlocked power ups you want enabled in the arena.
During the Story Mode or level replays you can find arena power ups, which you can then enable in the arenas. Look out for all sorts of cool things including bombs, weapons, squads of allies, and even a friendly giant.
As you progress through the Story Mode more arenas will be unlocked. The top arena survivors can enter their highest scores in the High Score table.
How long can you stand up to the challenge?
SINGLE MISSION REPLAY
Here you can select any level completed in the game to play as a stand-alone mission. As you complete each level in Story Mode, it will be unlocked here.
OPTIONS
The options screen allows you to customise various aspects of the game to suit your preferences.
These include audio settings, screen position and camera inversion. You can also turn on or off in-game settings, such as subtitles, tutorial, and the
controller's vibration function. Finally, Arena High Scores and Unlocks can be saved, along with your settings,
in the Option Menu.
EXTRAS
Discover the secrets hidden in the game to unlock extras and bonuses.
Whilst playing the story mode you pass checkpoints, which become your restart points if you die or otherwise fail a mission. If you exit the game, you will be offered the chance to save from the last checkpoint.
You may restart the game at that checkpoint later by selecting Load Game from the Main Menu.
Highscores in Arena mode and unlockable extras found in the Single Mission Replay mode, can be saved in the Options Menu.
Battle Tactics
It is essential to master all of the controls in Spartan™: Total Warrior ­aimlessly mashing your controller's buttons will just get you killed.
Combat in
Spartan™: Total Warrior is tactical. It's an exercise in skill, not speed, where every enemy you encounter will test your ability to pick the right move at the right time.
One of the most important aspects of the combat is the shield - this cannot be overstated. As well as protecting the Spartan from attack, the shield can be used offensively to knock back attackers, either by using the raise shield and single attack buttons ( l +a) to hit a single enemy, or the raise shield and radial attack buttons (
l +
b
) to clear a space in the crowd. This allows the Spartan to take control of the battle, and steer it his way. Once this has been mastered, the Spartan has a range of weapons and attacks that must be deployed strategically throughout the game. Keep an eye on the enemies’ tactics and help allies in trouble, because keeping them alive may just win you the battle. The outcome of the war, however, is up to you.
