MAIN MENU OPTIONS
Challenge
Before you compete in the World Race events, it's wise to complete the Challenge Mode. Only once you have completed all five of the challenges will you be fully prepared for the extreme high-energy World Race™ circuits.
Single Player or Multiplayer
When you select the Single Player Mode, you can choose among three types of races: Quick Race, Time Trial or League. In Multiplayer Mode, both the Quick Race and League options are available, but not the Time Trial.
Quick Race
Select the Quick Race Mode to launch yourself straight into the action. Choose your team and car, pick your track then go, go, go!
Race against your friends by selecting Quick Race Mode from the Multiplayer Mode menu.
Time Trial
Time Trial is the mode for pure racers: no other cars are on the track. It's just you against the clock.
Time Trial is only available from the Single Player Mode menu. See if you can get the number one slot on the best times table or beat your friends' best times!
League
Prove you are the best of the best in League Mode. Start in Rookie League and take part in a series of gruelling races. Be prepared to master a series of twisting, gravity defying roller coaster tracks on the league circuit.
To continue in League racing, you must earn a minimum amount of points in each race. The amount varies from race to race, but if you don't earn enough, you're out! League racing is for the bold and the daring. You'll know soon enough if you have what it takes.
You earn points based on your finishing position in the race:
At the end of a race, you will have the option to Retry the race. If you were disqualified, or if you think you can do better next time, go ahead and try again.
If you are eating the other drivers' dust and get too far behind, you can press START to pause the game and then choose Retry before you even finish.
GAME PAUSED
Practice makes perfect. You can only Retry so many times, however. In the Rookie League you have 3 Retries, in Veteran League you have 2 and in Elite League only 1.
If you complete the Rookie League, you'll unlock the tough Veteran League, and if you complete Veteran League you'll unlock the ultra-tough Elite League.
To play in a co-operative league with your friends, select League Mode from the Multiplayer Mode menu.
DRIVING BASICS
DRIVING BARS
Once you're behind the wheel of the car of your choice, you will see the track ahead of you. Other than that, you have two gauges:
•
Speedometer: This shows your current speed.
•
Nitrox: This gauge shows how full your Nitrox is. When it is full, you can use the Nitrox boost to speed your car down the track or over ramps.
Car Handling
You'll be choosing the car that matches your driving style, so it's best to be familiar with their handling characteristics:
•
Speed: The higher this value, the faster the car's normal top (unboosted) speed.
•
Grip: The higher this value, the better the car is at taking corners and the less you'll have to slow down or brake to take corners safely.
•
Accel (Acceleration): The higher this value, the faster the car is off
