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. [. . . ] You can view your entire car collection in one place by choosing Achievements on the Main Menu, and then choosing Cars. London Most of the PGR 3 London race routes send you zooming past famous landmarks, including Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, Admiralty Arch, and the London Eye. New York City Cross the East River more quickly than any real-world commuter ever has as you race across the Brooklyn Bridge as though it's a long straightaway (and in this case, it is). Give your regards to Broadway as you high-tail it through Times Square. What Powers PGR 3 The combined price and performance stats for all of the 75-plus cars featured in PGR 3 add up to some pretty impressive totals. For example, in the unlikely event you could track down and then purchase the real-world versions of each of the cars included in the game, you would need to write checks for a grand total of more than $22 million dollars (U. S. ). And, what would you be getting for that kind of cash? More than 400, 000 cc's of total engine capacity More than 41, 000 horsepower 710 cylinders An average top speed of 196. 7 mph Tokyo Feel the freedom as you fishtail and then fly by the front of the Shinjuku police station. Make the crowds gathered around the Nishiguchi Bus Stops wish they didn't have to use public transportation as they watch you accelerate past them. Nürburgring While you may enjoy your sightseeing in some cities, you'll need to turn all your attention to the track when you take on Germany's Nürburgring. Nicknamed the "Green Monster, " Nürburgring is considered by many to be the toughest and most demanding race track in the world. 20 21 PLAYTIME Playtime is the freeform game mode in PGR 3, where you can race almost any car on any track or build your own custom routes through any of the cities using the Route Creator. When racing in Playtime mode, you can forget about showing off your slick moves, because you're not eligible for Kudos or credits. If you lay down a record lap time in Race Against the Clock, however, your name will be recorded on the Race Against the Clock Leaderboards. PLAYTIME Find Race With Find Race, you can create a game for other players to find using System Link or Xbox Live. Race Against the Clock When competing in Race Against the Clock events, you can't earn Kudos, so your goal is simple--pure speed. Race Against the Clock lets you try out any of the cars featured in PGR 3, even if you haven't yet earned enough credits to buy them yourself. Create Race With Create Race, you start by choosing from among three available events: Street Race, Eliminator, and Capture the Track. You then choose a specific city and track on which to race. For all of these Playtime events, you can choose to race as an individual competitor, or you can choose a side (red or blue) on which to compete. Street Race and Eliminator The Playtime versions of Street Race and Eliminator work just as they do in the Single Player and online versions (see page 16 for details), except there are no Kudos or credits. Capture the Track In Capture the Track, the track you're competing on is divided into a number of sections. As competitors race around the track, the player who completes the section first "captures" that track for themselves or for their side. A Capture the Track event ends when a specified number of laps are complete (the player or side with the most captured sections wins). 22 23 ROUTE CREATOR The Route Creator is one of the main game features available in the Playtime mode. With the Route Creator, you can build your own custom tracks that you can use in a variety of different ways. ROUTE CREATOR How Do You Create a Custom Track? The idea of building your own custom track using your Xbox 360 controller might sound daunting, but the process is surprisingly simple. To build a custom track, you start by choosing a city. Then, using or to navigate your way around a graphical map, you select where you want the race to start and finish and which waypoints (street segments) you want to include to connect the two. Keep in mind, too, that if you prefer to be surprised, you can choose to create a "random route, " where PGR 3 makes all the choices for you. When you've completed your custom route, you can jump in a car and drive it to get a feel for the masterpiece you've created. And, after you've created and saved a custom route, you can always make changes to it. Why Create a Custom Track? After you've created your custom track, you can: Race the track against AI opponents Race solo against the clock Race against your friends with System Link or in a split-screen multiplayer game Host a game on Xbox Live using your track Selected Waypoint Selected Finish Line Available Waypoint Available Start/Finish Point Selected Route Selected Starting Point 24 25 MUSIC PLAYLISTS While racing, you have your choice of nine music playlists that you can change on the fly.
