GHOSTS
A Ghost, which is a replay of a previous race or Kudos Event, appears as a semi-
transparent image of a car that races at the same time you do. Your car can pass
through the Ghost image without crashing.
Why would you use a Ghost? Race an Xbox
Live
Ghost Challenge
to improve
your Xbox
Live Scoreboard position. Or race against your friends’ Ghosts to
learn how they drove and which car they used to set a fast lap and get the most
Kudos. Then upload a better Ghost to show them who’s the better driver.
You can download a Ghost by selecting
Event Scoreboards/Ghosts
or
Ghost
Challenge
if you’re signed in to the Xbox
Live service. There are Ghosts to
download from every race in
Kudos World Series
,
Arcade Racing
,
Time Attack
,
and
Ghost Challenge
modes. You may watch a Ghost from any race type except
Time Attack
;
however, you may only race against a Ghost in a
Cone Challenge
,
Hot Lap
,
Speed Camera
,
Time Attack
race, or
Ghost Challenge
.
SCOREBOARDS
The Scoreboards keep track of Kudos earned on Xbox
Live. If you are connected
to Xbox
Live, you can check the Scoreboards before each race to see the top
players’ results (and where you rank, if you’ve previously completed that event).
You may also download a Ghost by selecting
Event Scoreboards/Ghosts
.
After a race, the Scoreboards are updated automatically so you can see how
you compare to the top drivers. If you finish in the top 10, your Ghost will be
automatically uploaded to the Xbox
Live Scoreboards; everyone can upload
a Ghost when racing an Xbox
Live All-Time
Ghost Challenge (see pg. 21).
