[. . . ] Spartan ps2 v3. qxd 10/20/05 11:47 AM Page 1 WARNING: READ BEFORE USING YOUR PLAYSTATION®2 COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM. A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures when exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to certain patterns or backgrounds on a television screen or while playing video games, including games played on the PlayStation 2 console, may induce an epileptic seizure in these individuals. Certain conditions may induce previously undetected epileptic symptoms even in persons who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. [. . . ] The Spartan also 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. LOAD GAME Load a previously saved story mode game. See Saving & Loading on page 7. 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? 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 customize various aspects of the game to suit your preferences. These include audio settings, screen position and camera inversion. You can also turn on or off in-game settings, such as subtitles, tutorial, and the controller's vibration function.
