There are a number of ways to play
RSC2
—from challenging
no one but yourself to finding opponents across the globe.
Time Attack
Try to beat your best lap times, compete against
a friend’s ghost, or take on the #1 player on Xbox
Live
.
Single Race
Compete against up to three computer-controlled
opponents simultaneously on any unlocked track.
Career
Work your way through a series of stages and events,
and earn points based on how you place at the end of each
event. Increase your point total to qualify for new event
classes and unlock new cars.
The icons on the
Career
menu provide helpful information. A
car icon means that completing the indicated event will unlock
a car. Similarly, a track icon indicates that completing the
event will unlock a track. And, after you have completed an
event, the number of points you earned in it appears in the
corner of that event’s icon.
Multiplayer
Choose
Split Screen
to compete with two to
four players on a single Xbox console. Or, select
System
Link Play
to connect up to 16 Xbox consoles (one person per
console). When more than four players are using System Link,
car collision will not be detected.
Xbox
Live
Go online with Xbox
Live
to take on the world. (For
more information, see pages 14 -21.)
Leaderboards
See where you rank in various lists, and view
stats on your friends and other players.
Note that
Single Race
and
Multiplayer
races are wheel to wheel.
RSC2
offers up traditional point-to-point races,
as well as several other rally-esque options.
Rally
Race solo on
a point-to-point
stage, with the goal
of reaching the finish
line in the shortest
time possible.
Rallycross
Go head
to head against three
opponents on a circular track with varying terrain. Rallycross
is the most technical race type featured in
RSC2
.
Ice Racing
Race wheel to wheel across a dangerously slick
circular track.
Hill Climb
Power your way up steep inclines and around
treacherous corners to post the best time to the top (or
bottom) of the mountain.
Crossover
Tear up the track, and switch lanes with your
opponent on every other lap.
