Earning Kudos & Credits - Microsoft game studios PROJECT GOTHAM-RACING 3 Manual

EARNING KUDOS
Kudos measure the style, speed, skill, and daring you demonstrate
when racing.
How Do You Earn Kudos?
When you perform a stylish maneuver during a race, you earn
a certain number of Kudos that are added to your Kudos Stash.
After about two seconds, the Stash moves into your Kudos Bank.
However, if you pull off another maneuver before your Stash moves
to the Bank, you can earn a Combo Bonus. The more moves you
can string together before your Stash moves to your Bank, the
more Kudos you earn for your Combo Bonus.
There's just one catch—if you collide with an object before the
Stash moves to your Bank, you will lose any Combo Bonus you
might have been building. If you don't have a Combo Bonus, you'll
lose your Stash.
Maximizing Your Kudos
In PGR 3 , the more you challenge yourself, the more Kudos
you can earn. For example, if you overtake an opponent while
competing in a Steel medal event, you'll earn some Kudos,
but you'll earn more if you execute the same maneuver while
competing in a Platinum medal event.
What Do You Do with Kudos?
When you earn a certain number of Kudos, your Kudos rank
increases. Your Kudos rank is like your report card—it's how you
prove your worth to all of the other racers out there.
Each time your rank increases, you earn credits that can be used
to purchase cars. You also unlock concept cars as you progress
through the PGR 3 ranks. For more information about earning
credits, see page 11.

Xbox Live Kudos
You earn Kudos when racing on Xbox Live in exactly the same way
you do in Single Player racing.
Maximizing Your Xbox Live Kudos
Obviously, racing with style and coming in first are going to earn
you Kudos. But if you really want to rack up Ks, you should race
against more opponents, race against cars that are better than
yours, race against players with higher Xbox Live Kudos rankings,
and finish with a faster time than your opponents.
Xbox 360 Achievements
In addition to Kudos, Xbox 360™ Achievements give you another
way to track and recognize your progress in playing PGR 3 .
You earn Xbox 360 Achievement badges when you reach key
milestones, such as earning all Platinum medals while using
manual transmission or buying every Lamborghini in the game.
You can view both the available Xbox 360 Achievement badges
and the ones you've earned by choosing Achievements from the
Main Menu, and then choosing Xbox 360 Achievements.
You can also earn Badges of Honor when playing PGR 3 . For more
information, see page 11.
