I. Version History/Getting Started

4/3/02-FAQ Submitted. Update soon with Music Options.

Welcome to Project Gotham Racing, the Xbox racing game where driving fast 
with skill, style, and dexterity are the ultimate measures of your racing 
success.  The first time you start the game, you are asked to create a new 
driver.  Your Driver keeps track of your progress through Project Gotham 
Racing, it stores your helmet style, license plate, and other vehicle 
preferences.  It also stores the details of your on-track performances, 
including Kudos scores, medals earned, record lap times, total time play, 
total miles driven, and the cars, circuits, and other items you've unlocked. 
  As you play Project Gotham Racing, your progress is saved automatically at 
key points throughout the game.  To make changes to your Driver once you 
have created it, choose Driver Manager from the Options Menu.  Once you have 
created a Drive, the Main Menu is displayed, offering a range or racing 
experiences.

Unlocking Cars and Circuits

Initially, you can choose from four cars when you take to the streets of 
four photo-realistically detailed cities in Project Gotham Racing.  As you 
progress you will unlock sleeker, more desirable cars, more challenging 
circuits, and a few surprises.

Bronze, Silver, and Gold Medals

In Kudos Challenge, Quick Race, and Arcade Race modes, you earn Bronze, 
Silver, and Gold Medals based on either your Kudos score or your race 
results.  You must earn at least a Bronze medal in each event in order to 
progress through each of the Levels in Kudos Challenge, Quick Race, and 
Arcade Race modes, but you will soon discover the benefits of pushing your 
performance to the limit.  Consistently earning Silver and Gold medals can 
translate into additional rewards.

Total Kudos, Time Player, and Total Miles Bonus Award

In PGR you earn bonus awards based on:

-The total number of Kudos you have cumulatively earned in Kudos Challenge, 
Quick Race, and Arcade race modes.
-The amount of time you've spent playing the game
-The total amount of miles you've driven in all of your cars.

Your total Kudos Score is displayed in the lower right corner of most game 
screens.  All of this information is also tracked and stored in you Driver.  
When you hit a major milestone related to these vital statistics you will 
unlock a great bonus award.

=-Quick Race Mode-=

Race through checkpoints against five other cars for a set number of laps.  
The only way to progress is to earn at least a Bronze medal in each city at 
each skill level.  You'll earn Bronze for Finishing 3rd, Silver for 2nd, and 
Gold for 1st.  Your kudos score is recorded and added to your Total Kudos 
Score, but it'll take pure speed to progress to the next level.

=-Arcade Race Mode-=

Score a minimum number of Performance Kudos as you maneuver through cone 
gates while keeping an eye on the clock.  The only way to progress is to 
earn at least a Bronze medal in each city at each skill level.  Good luck, 
and don't forget to use your handbrake on those tight turns

=-Time Attack Mode-=

Post a personal fastest lap on one of over 200 circuits while driving any 
unlocked vehicle.  A ghost car automatically appears to retrace your fastest 
lap.  You also have the option to save your ghost lap so that you can race 
it again.

=-Kudos Challenge Mode-=

The Kudos Challenge is the heart of Project Gotham Racing.  Test your limits 
as you race your way through 12 levels and nine different types of racing 
challenges.  With no penalties for trying to improve your performance, Kudos 
Challenge mode offers the ultimate pursuit of perfection.

=-Multiplayer Mode-=

Take on human opponents in lively, split-screen, and multiplayer racing.  
Are you ready to put your money where your mouth is?  The trash talk ends 
where the starting line begins.

the roar of the              engines and the screech of the brakes get to be

V.  Kudos Scoring/Challenge Mode

The Kudos scoring system rewards you not only for getting to the finish line 
first but for displaying skill, style, and daring while you're doing it.  As 
you race high performance cars on challenging city circuits, the Kudos 
scoring system keeps track of your every move, and rewards you when you push 
your performance to the limit.  You Total Kudos Score, which reflects all 
the Kudos you've earned in the game, is tracked and is the key to unlocking 
many great rewards.

Performance Kudos

Performance Kudos are awarded while you're racing in all game modes (except 
Time Attack).  The Kudos Stash meter (in the upper right corner of your game 
screen) tallies up your Performance Kudos and identifies the specific move 
you're making to rack up those Kudos.  One you've complete the move, your 
Kudos Stash is transferred to your Kudos Bank.  You can lose your Kudos 
Stash before those Kudos are transferred into your Kudos Bank if you fail to 
successfully finish off the move.  For example, you'll lose your Kudos Stash 
if you hit a wall or another car within three seconds of pulling off a 
powerslide.

Performance Kudos are awarded for the following moves:

>Slides-Slide cleanly through a turn using the handbrake, or pull off a 
>powerslide or pendulum turn.  The longer you can hold the slide, the more 
>Kudos you will earn.
>360's-Pull off a sliding 260 while still maintaining forward momentum.
>Overtake-Pass an opponent cleanly, and collect a bonus if you can overtake 
>multiple opponents quick in succession.
>Navigating Cone Gates-Navigate through a path marked by cone gates.
>Clean Section-Complete a section of the circuit without sustaining any 
>significant contact or damage.
>Two Wheels-Get up on two wheels.
>Big Air-Get all four tires to leave the track surface simultaneously.
>Combo Bonus-Perform multiple moves within a short amount of time.

Bonus Kudos

Bonus Kudos are a special category of Kudos that can only be earned in Kudos 
Challenge Mode.  Unlike Performance Kudos, which are awarded while you are 
racing in all game modes (except Time Attack), your Bonus Kudos points 
aren't tallied and awarded until after you've crosses the finish line.  
Before you head to the starting line to race in one of the nine types of 
challenges featured in Kudos Challenge mode, you have the option to raise 
the level of difficulty for that specific challenge, which automatically 
increases the number of Bonus Kudos you can potentially earn for 
successfully completing the challenge.  For example, when racing a Lap 
challenge, you could raise the difficulty level and the number of Bonus 
Kudos you can earn by slicing several seconds off the pre-set target lap 
time.

Joker Bonus Kudos

Jokers are special bonus awards that can only be unlocked in each Level of 
Kudos Challenge mode. Once you've unlock a Joke, you can use it just once to 
automatically double the number of Kudos you earn in an individual challenge 
in that Level.


Kudos Challenge Mode

Kudos Challenge mode is the heart of Project Gotham Racing.  It's where your 
racing skills are tested to their limits (and beyond) as you race against 
the clock and powerful opponents through four cities, 12 levels, and nine 
different types of racing challenges.  For any of the nine types of 
challenges, you can increase the potential number of Bonus Kudos you ca earn 
by increasing the difficulty level of the challenge before you start the 
race.  As you progress through Kudos Challenge mode, you'll unlock valuable 
rewards, including cars, Jokers, new tracks, and driver models as you strive 
to earn Bronze, Silver, or Gold medals in each challenge type.

Kudos Challenge event types include:

Average Speed
-Race against the clock for a specified number of laps and earn Bonus Kudos 
when you beat the target average speed.

Hot Lap
-In Hop Lap-sing, race a set number of laps around a circuit with the goal 
of laying down one sizzlingly fast hot lap.  In Hot Lap-Average, race a set 
number of laps around a circuit with the goal of setting a blazingly fast 
average lap time.

Style Challenge
-Slide behind the wheel and prepare to showcase your Kudos style.  In the 
Style Challenge, you have three minutes to complete three laps while gaining 
as many Performance Kudos as you can.  Catching air, getting up on two 
wheels, pulling off powerslides and 360s, navigating cleanly through cone 
gates-moves like these are a requirement, not a luxury, when you take on the 
Style Challenge.

Win a silver or gold medal in all parts of kudos challenge mode for a city. 
Select time attack mode and a "Free Roam" option will be unlocked for that

Custom music:
You can hear your own Xbox ripped music while driving. Note: You must have 
already downloaded music to your Xbox hard drive. Before you start driving, 
enter the option menu and select "Music Management". Select "Add", then 
press Left or Right until your music appears. Then, add it to the music 
list. Begin game play, go to CD mode and scroll through the music list below 
that, on the station.

Hint: Sliding for more points:
Use the hand brake when going around a turn.

Hint: Do a 360:
Start on a wide street (four lanes or more) and get some speed (80 to 
100mph). Next, get on one of the side lanes and hold A (Hand Brake) while 
turning into the road to do a 180. Immediately as you pull off the 180 
release A and hold X (Reverse) or shift down into reverse, and turn the 
opposite direction. When you pull around to the direction you were going, 
release X and go. This requires some practice. Try this trick in time attack 
mode at Financial District, Federal Reserve, just around the first corner 
with the Ferorce, Ferrari F50, or the Ferrari 355 FI.

Hint: Pacific Heights: Big air:
Enable the "Cheat mode" code. Go to time attack and select Pacific Heights 
and free roam mode. Select either the Tuscan or the Feroce. During game 
play, reverse all the way to the wall behind you. Turn down the hill, making 
sure that it is a brick road. Drive as fast as possible down this set of 
hills to get major air and possibly hit a power line.

Begin the game in free roam mode with the Porsche 911. Go down the hill with 
the bricks at the top to get big air and do a 720.

Glitch: Indestructible cone:
In time attack in free roam mode, there are cones and a cone count in the 
upper left corner of the screen. If you hit these cones they will go flying. 
However, if they get hit when you are going less than two miles per hour you 
will get credit for hitting the cone but it wont fall over. The cone is now 
indestructible.
