- 3. The Sound Options menu is now in the Details Options Menu.
-
- 4. Split Screen Single Race. Now, you can play a two-player game even
- without a network. Depending on the speed of your computer, you may
- want to turn off the details options to make it go faster. In the split
- screen race, the panels of the top player and the bottom player can be
- switched on or off by the keys Alt-T and Alt-U respectively.
-
- 5. Clone Race. In clone race, you race against the ultimate time trial
- opponent - yourself! The computer creates a clone of your car,
- programmed with you best ever lap, ready for you to race. You can try
- to better that lap time, or challenge a friend to play against your
- own virtual car. You best lap in each track (in clone races) is saved
- automatically. Toggle on the Use Saved Best Clone Lap to use the
- previously best lap.
-
- 6. Death Match. The Death Match is played out in one of the main tracks,
- including Track 9: Death Match Arena, which is designed specifically
- for death match race. The idea is to blow the pants off your opponents
- using a set number of lives. The slider bar of Death Match Lives menu
- set the number of Death Match lives. Set it to zero for infinite lives.
-
- Hint: Find a place to hide and ambush your opponents, or just zip out
- into the open and take them out in a blaze of glory. The map in the
- bottom right corner is removed so that you will not know where others
- are hiding.
-
- 7. Hot Seat. The Hot Seat is a game played with up to eight players using
- a single machine. While one player controls his car, the computer
- controls all of the others; and after a pre-arranged time (the duration
- can be set shorter or longer with the Hot Seat Racing Time slider bar
- in the Hot Seat Options) the computer takes control of the current
- car, the view changes to the next player and the next player takes over.
- The number of players in the Hot Seat Race can be set by the slider bar
- Hot Seat Racing Time in the Hot Seat Options menu.
-
- P.S. You may want to change the names of all the players. This is now
- possible by using the Change Name menu.
-
- 8. You can now change the camera to external view by pressing Y. However,
- you will not be able to control your car in the external view. Press Y
- to change it back to the trailing camera view.
