GETTING STARTED
Set up your PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system according to the instructions in its Instruction Manual. Make sure the MAIN POWER switch (located on the back of the console) is turned on.
Press the RESET button. When the power indicator lights up, press the open button and the disc tray will open. Place the (Gravity Games™ BIKE Street, Vert, Dirt) disc on the disc tray with the label side facing up. Press the open button again and the disc tray will close.
Attach game controllers and other peripherals, as appropriate. Follow on-screen instructions and refer to this manual for information on using the software.
IMPORTANT AUTOSAVE INFORMATION
Before you begin playing, it is advised that you insert a memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) into MEMORY CARD slot 1 of your PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system. This game uses an "autosave" feature, which means that the game will automatically load and save game data on your memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) if it is inserted.
Game data such as game statistics and unlocked items will be saved and loaded every time you exit or start the game. After the game's Title Screen, if you have any saved game data it will be loaded automatically and you will proceed to the Main Menu. If you do not have saved game data, you will have to continue without a memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) and proceed to the Main Menu.
The game's Main Menu is where you will be able to play different game modes as well as change a few options in the game. Below is a breakdown of each sub-menu featured on the Main Menu.
QUICK START
Quick Start Mode lets you jump right into the game and play as long as you want. You are unable to select riders or bikes, but this "practice" mode is great for practicing and learning tricks and combos.
CAREER
Career Mode is a single player game mode that challenges a rider to complete tasks, enabling them to advance in the competition circuit. Completing games in Career Mode will also unlock hidden features such as riders, FMVs, etc.
FREE RIDE
Almost like the Quick Start mode of play, Free Ride allows a player to select a rider, bike and start riding. This mode is an excellent way to practice tricks, combos and other things that can help when playing the more difficult game modes. There's no timer to worry about, so play as long as you want.
MULTIPLAYER
Take on a friend in five different multiplayer games. Each of the five games' objectives are different, but the goal is to win. More information can be found on Page 13.
