PLAYING THE GAME
ARCADE MODE CHAMPIONSHIP
During ARCADE MODE CHAMPIONSHIP races, you start from the back of the grid and must fight for first place. Championship points are awarded for your final position, with higher positions earning more points. The driver with the most points at the end of the championship wins.
ARCADE - SINGLE RACE
Choose your driver, track, number of laps, and AI difficulty, then race in a SINGLE RACE. Use this mode to practice unlocked tracks and improve your skills.
•
If you set the number of AI opponents in SINGLE RACE to zero, this mode becomes a TIME TRIAL MODE where you race against the clock to beat your fastest lap time.
STORY MODE - HEAD TO HEAD
Some STORY MODE chapters involve a HEAD TO HEAD battle against a rival driver. Both drivers start at the same time, and the first car over the finish line wins. There is no silver medal for finishing second.
STORY MODE - BLOCKING
Team play is important here; it's about protecting your teammates' position. As the blocker, you have limited time to get from your start grid position to a position BEHIND your teammate.
You must then defend your teammate's position from rival drivers. If you lose position behind your teammate, you have limited time to get back. Blocking timers are displayed in the top center of the HUD.
STORY MODE - CITY CHASE
Your teammates have recklessly driven off down busy city streets in their racing cars. Catch them at all costs! They have a head start, so use all your skill and determination to catch them. Watch out for oncoming traffic!
STORY MODE - RACES
Racing as Jimmy, prove you're number one in this championship and secure a 1st place. As in ARCADE CHAMPIONSHIP, race against the field and try to come in the top spot. Watch out for Brandenburg's advances! Concentrate on the track ahead; get into the 'Zone' to take pole position.
STORY MODE - TRAINING
TRAINING MODE allows you to familiarize yourself with the specific play mechanics of each mode. Training will be prompted at specific points during story mode.
MULTIPLAYER MODE
CHAMPIONSHIPS
Play the EURO CHAMPS, U.S. CHAMPS, and WORLD CHAMPS as in ARCADE MODE. You must win each multiplayer championship to unlock the next. Play either cooperatively or against one another. The winner is decided on points at the end of a championship.
