Playing the game
21
To play against a friend, choose
Versus Race
from the
Main Menu
. You will
then be able to choose a
track
to race on. Remember that you can only use
the tracks you have unlocked. Now each player must choose a
Racer
to play
with. You can choose the same
Racer
if you wish.
Player One
chooses first,
then
Player Two
. Once player two has chosen a Racer, the race will begin.
When you play a Versus Race the screen is split in two halves. Player One’s
view is the top half of the screen and Player Two’s view is the bottom half
of the screen.
Note: To play a Versus race you will need at least one game controller attached to
your computer.
Time Race
If you want to race against the clock, select
Time Race
. This will enter you
into a race against the great Veronica Voltage. Her “ghost car” will appear
on the screen, so you will have something to chase, and eventually beat. If
you better Veronica’s top time on every track, you will win the pieces of her
cool and powerful racing car to use in building your own car. (Find out
more about building a car on page 24.)
