IGNITION
™
You’re about to enter a world of no-holds-barred auto racing - life in the really fast lane. Across exotic countries
and around some of the most punishing race tracks ever devised you’ll have to conquer a variety of other
vehicles in a nitrous sprint for the finishing line.
But if you think that racing lines, pit stops and aerodynamic car design is the way to win one of these races,
then you’re in for a serious surprise. Out on these race tracks you must use all means at your disposal to win -
if that means ramming someone off a 200ft cliff then so be it - they shouldn’t have got in your way. The brave
survive and the weak - well, they end up as jam on the Tarmac. Which is kind of poetic if you think about it.
How you approach each of the races in Ignition is entirely up to you, but remember - if you decide to play fair
you’re sure to get nudged into the nearest river. Learn the tracks, pick your vehicle wisely and drive in the most
devious manner you can and you might, just might, win.
Introduction
Welcome to Ignition, the foremost action racing game on the PC. Shortly you’ll get to race a wide variety of
vehicles, ranging from buses to sports cars around race tracks in places as diverse as Moosejaw Falls and
Cape Thor.
The game can be played in single player mode, against five computer controlled opponents, in a split screen
mode against a friend or over a network against up to five players.
Ignition has been carefully designed to get the most out of your hardware. It features a smooth overhead
viewpoint enabling you to see the action and forthcoming hazards at the same time. However it’s only over
time that you’ll learn how to take each of the corners, where the shortcuts are and where it’s best to nudge
your opponent into a cliff wall. The moral of this story is: if you keep getting iced, then you’re not playing dirty
enough.
