[. . . ] Highscores in Arena mode and unlockable extras found in the Single Mission Replay mode, can be saved in the Options Menu. LOAD GAME Load a previously saved story mode game. ARENA CHALLENGE The Arena Challenge is an additional game mode that casts the Spartan into an arena with various enemies. Each round is progressively more difficult than the last. Select the arena location and which enemies are to be faced there, and then choose which unlocked power ups you want enabled in the arena. During the Story Mode or level replays you can find arena power ups, which you can then enable in the arenas. Look out for all sorts of cool things including bombs, weapons, squads of allies, and even a friendly giant. As you progress through the Story Mode more arenas will be unlocked. The top arena survivors can enter their highest scores in the High Score table. How long can you stand up to the challenge? Battle Tactics It is essential to master all of the controls in SpartanTM: Total Warrior - aimlessly mashing your controller's buttons will just get you killed. Combat in SpartanTM: Total Warrior is tactical. It's an exercise in skill, not speed, where every enemy you encounter will test your ability to pick the right move at the right time. One of the most important aspects of the combat is the shield - this cannot be overstated. As well as protecting the Spartan from attack, the shield can be used offensively to knock back attackers, either by using the raise shield and single attack buttons (r Button and a Button) to hit a single enemy, or the raise shield and radial attack buttons (r Button and b Button) to clear a space in the crowd. This allows the Spartan to take control of the battle, and steer it his way. Once this has been mastered, the Spartan has a range of weapons and attacks that must be deployed strategically throughout the game. Keep an eye on the enemies' tactics and help allies in trouble, because keeping them alive may just win you the battle. The outcome of the war, however, is up to you. SINGLE MISSION REPLAY Here you can select any level completed in the game to play as a stand-alone mission. As you complete each level in Story Mode, it will be unlocked here. OPTIONS The options screen allows you to customise various aspects of the game to suit your preferences. These include audio settings, screen position and camera inversion. It is only displayed when the Spartan's bow is drawn. POWER OF THE GODS Radar/compass The Power of the Gods can be used in conjunction with any of the Spartan's weapons, including the shield. HEALTH BAR Look out for green shrines to refill your health bar. Some defeated enemies will drop green orbs, which will also replenish your health. POWER OF THE GODS Pray at the blue power shrines or collect blue orbs from defeated opponents to increase your power. RAGE BAR In addition to the Power of the Gods, the Spartan can strengthen his attacks when this bar is full. Rage builds up with each successful hit on an enemy, and when fully charged, powerful moves can be executed by holding down the l Button (Soft) and either of the attack buttons. Both the Rage Bar and the current weapon being used will glow when you are ready to start a Rage Move. [. . . ] FIRE ARROWS: Enhance the bow's brutality by adding fire. Each quiver of fire arrows only lasts a limited time. MINOTAUR: Half man, half bull, this is the beast that resides in a mazelike den, awaiting more victims to devour. ARENA PICK-UP: Unlocks `extras' in the Arena Mode. ARCHIMEDES DIARY PAGES: Unlock sketches from the great inventor's diary. 18 19 Spartan GC Manual v2. qx 10/20/05 11:57 AM Page 20 Credits DEFINITIVE CREATIVE ASSEMBLY Designed By Team Spartan Producers Luci "Loci" Black Jonathan Court Moran Paldi Production (Oz) George Fidler Project Lead (And Design) Clive Gratton Programming Andy Bray Ric Broadhurst Simon Franco Chris Gascoyne Gil Jaysmith Dan Kennedy Ting Li Shane O'Brien Dan Parkes Art Director (And Design) Alistair Hope Lead Artist (And Design) Jude Bond Artists Paul Abbott Joss Adley Ranulf Busby John Carline Tunde Glover Andrew Oakley Howard Rayner Nick Smith Supporting Artists Jason Dalton Zaq Foster Brendan Rogers Chris Waller Lead Animator Greg Alston Animators Andrew Bedford Benjamin Potts Scripting Ciaran Daly Sean Fitzpatrick Nick Tresadern Stephen Virgo Music & Audio Direction Jeff Van Dyck Sound Effects & Post Production Richard Vaughan Additional Music Prasant Moorthy Dialogue Production James Vincent Original Concept Michael de Plater Additional Design, Script & Story Sophie Blakemore Additional Dialogue Graeme Davis Studio Marketing Manager Ian Roxburgh Web Marketing Manager Richie Skinner Studio Marketing Artists Peter Brophy Mike Green Studio Marketing Assistant Shelby Killick Mocap Actors Tim Klotz Annie Lees-Jones Nedal Yousef Voice Actors featuring Jason Isaacs as Sejanus Other Voice Actors Archimedes: Jay Benedict Ares: Stanley Townsend Beowulf: Seamus O'Neil Castor: Tom Clarke-Hill Crassus: Jay Simon Electra: Julia Innocenti Leonidas: Bill Roberts Pollux: Noah Lee Margetts The Spartan: Quarie Marshall Tiberius: Kevin Howarth Additional Voices: Laurence Bouvard Dave Brooks Rupert Degas John Gurassio Nick Haverson Sarah Mennell Mandy Weston Voice Recording OM:UK Localized Recording Partnertrans Tools Kevin Hoque Melvyn Quek Jon Rafferty Technical Support Gareth Hailes CA QA Manager Graham Axford CA QA Lead James Buckle CA QA Simon Allan Dion Lay Simon Watson Additional Testing Jeff Woods Supporting Roles Tim Ansell Mike Simpson Sega of America CEO Naoya Tsurumi President / COO Simon Jeffery Vice President, Marketing Scott A.
