MULTIPLAYER
MSR has a comprehensive multiplayer mode, which allows
up to 8 players to log in and compete in a whole range of
different competition types.
The first thing to do is to log in the players, which is done
by selecting Set Up from the main Multiplayer Menu, and
then adding in the details of each player. All players have
the option to input their data from single-player VMU
saves, which places all cars from their showroom into the multi-player showroom,
and all circuits unlocked into the multi-player circuit ‘pool’.
When you have set up the game to your satisfaction, you have a choice of the
following options:
Single races A whole variety of single race modes including head-to-head,
ghost attack, first-to-split, matchplay, and pursuit.
Series This is a series of head-to-head races, with a number of
rounds.
Championship The game will pick players in turn to compete in a team
Championship.
Quick race If you want a quick head-to-head race without setting up your
players or options, this allows you to go straight into the
action!
