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. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms--children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting farther from the television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing. Other Important Health and Safety Information The Xbox Instruction Manual contains important health and safety information that you should read and understand before using this software. Avoid Damage to Your Television Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or rear-projection types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox games, are played on them. Static images presented during the normal course of gameplay may "burn in" to the screen, causing a permanent shadow of the static image to appear at all times, even when video games are not being played. Similar damage may occur from static images created when placing a video game on hold or pause. Consult your television owner's manual to determine if video games can be played safely on your set. If you are unable to find this information in the owner's manual, contact your television dealer or the manufacturer to determine if video games can be played safely on your set. 1 2 Urban racing isn't easy. Lampposts. Pesky street signs. Traffic. And those pedestrians! Who do they think they are, just walking on the sidewalk like that? But, you're brave. And crazy. And that's impressive. You're welcome. Welcome to Midtown Madness® 3. Here, you have the freedom to drive what you want, where you want, how you want, and-- through the power of Xbox LiveTM--with whomever you want. No set course through checkpoints. Just you, making your own decisions on how to win races through real cities in real vehicles. In addition to the insane urban racing you've come to expect from Midtown Madness, this game has new vehicles, new cities, new multiplayer games, a new Work Undercover mode, and Xbox Live... so rest assured you spent your money wisely. To quote the legendary Dieter Kleinmann: "Eines Tages werden wir in einer Welt Rennen fahren, in der alle Rennstars Sauerkraut und Würste umsonst bekommen!"* INTRODUCTION PROFILES Profiles make it possible for you (and anyone else using your Xbox console) to track your individual progress while playing Midtown Madness 3. If you want to switch, rename, delete, or create profiles, select Profiles from the Main Menu. What the Heck Do Profiles Remember? · · · · · · · · your progress in Career mode your unlocked vehicles, races, and goodies your ten best Blitz race times your ten best Checkpoint race times the last car you used your Xbox Live sign-in name your game settings your Mom's birthday (ok, maybe not) WANNA TRAVEL? USE THE XBOX DASHBO ARD TO MOV E YOUR PROFILE TO A MEMORY CARD. *We don't know what that means. How Do I Save a Race? Relax. The game saves automatically for you every time you accomplish something. So, start accomplishing something already. Really. Go. 3 MAIN MENU 4 Let's take a look at the Main Menu. Now, what you've got here is choice. Work Undercover ­ Embark on your career as an undercover officer in Paris or a detective in Washington D.C. Single Race ­ Race against the clock in a Blitz race, make your opponents cry in a Checkpoint race, or just roam the city in Cruise mode. Multiplayer ­ Play split screen, over System Link, or on Xbox Live. Take on friends or foes in multiplayer-only games or Checkpoint races, or Cruise the city. Options ­ Set up the game the way you want it. Oh, and watch the behind-the-scenes bonus movie! Yips! Profiles ­ Switch, rename, delete, or create a profile to track your progress. Name your profile something witty, such as "Witty." Sign In/Out ­ Sign in to Xbox Live so you can find other players and so your friends can find you. It must be fun having friends! GAME MODES Ready to race around in Blitz, Checkpoint, or Cruise mode? Blitz ­ It's a showdown: you versus the clock. Got what it takes to race through checkpoints in any order before the clock strikes zero? The time on the clock is based on the vehicle you pick, so there's no one to blame but yourself if you lose. Checkpoint ­ You versus opponents in a thrilling race to the finish. Your opponents are picked based on your vehicle, and most don't care how they win--as long as you're in their rearview mirror. Go through checkpoints in any order before your competition, and you've got reason to brag. Cruise ­ You versus... nobody (except maybe a few cops). Cruise around the city, unlock hidden treasures, test your vehicles, and learn the streets so you can create your own routes in Blitz and Checkpoint modes. Set the season, time of day, weather, and pedestrian/cop density to your liking!

The clock counts down in a Blitz race and counts up in a Checkpoint race. Oh, the drama! Score List Am I in first place, or am I not worthy?
