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.

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.

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.

Ten years have passed since Team Spike eliminated Team
Inferno from the streets of Diesel Town in the final showdown
of a legendary gang war. Bad blood remains between the two
teams and now the big boss, Michael, returns with a fiery new
team of Inferno fighters that can’t wait to settle the score. Due
to the absence of the heroic Spike, his son, Spike Jr., must
step up to battle his father’s nemesis and try to live up to his
father’s great name.
