Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games

Photosensitive seizures

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these "photosensitive epileptic seizures" while watching video games.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room; do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

ESRB Game Ratings

The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings are designed to provide consumers, especially parents, with concise, impartial guidance about the age-appropriateness and content of computer and video games. This information can help consumers make informed purchase decisions about which games they deem suitable for their children and families.

ESRB ratings have two equal parts:

• Rating Symbols suggest age appropriateness for the game. These symbols appear on the front of virtually every game box available for retail sale or rental in the United States and Canada.
• Content Descriptors indicate elements in a game that may have triggered a particular rating and/or may be of interest or concern. The descriptors appear on the back of the box next to the rating symbol.

• STORY •

• Xbox LIVE • • INTRODUCTION •

Favored by the gods since ancient times, this world is one of miracles and magic. It is a world teaming with life, not only human, but elven and all manner of beasts and monsters of legend.

Many a nation has ruled over the rich, fertile land of the central plains, only to fall to ruin and vanish from the world. It seemed the cycle of peace and chaos might never end.

Then one day, the Lord of the Night appeared.

The great nations fell one after the other to the mighty force led by Lord of the Night. His path of destruction was like a massive wave that swept across the land. In a mere three months, the entire central plains was reduced to smoldering ruins.

Only then did the Lord of the Night set his sights upon his final destination: the holy land to the north.

Ninety-two days had passed since the Lord of the Night first appeared. The Army of Night had nearly surrounded the holy land of Orphea, when suddenly, a great flash of light and a might roar tore a fraction of that great host asunder. From amid the great explosion emerged a mighty knight. This great hero is now single-handedly routing the Army of Night, as he makes his way to Orphea Castle across the desolate plains.
