1) Introduction
---------------
This is a FAQ for the Playstation 2 and Dreamcast game, Rez.  It was 
released on 11/22/2001, in Japan.  It will be released in North America early 
in 2002.

This FAQ will only deal with unlocking the secrets in the game.  Furthermore,
it will only cover the Japanese versions.  I will not have access to any other
version, so do not email me about it.


2) Frequently Asked Questions
-----------------------------
Q) Can I play it without much knowledge of Japanese?
A) Yes.  The game is completely in English.  It detects the language setting
   of your system and displays the language accordingly.  

Q) What is the Transvibrator?
A) The Transvibrator is an external rumble pack that connects in the PS2's USB
   port.  There is no Transvibrator for the Dreamcast.  However, it is not
   required to play the game; it only enhances play.  There were two PS2 
   versions made for the PS2: A Transvibrator included special version, and 
   one without.  The Transvibrator was made by ASCII, not Sega.  It was also 
   sold separately by ASCII themselves.  It may not be released for the PS2 
   version in America.

Q) Where are the extra songs(music tracks) in the game?
A) Lost Area and Trancemission


3) Unlocking Secrets
--------------------
There are many secrets to be unlocked over time.  Most of them require that you
complete a certain task.  However, some of them are unlocked over time.  

3.1) Completing the game
------------------------
There are five areas in the basic game.  Only four areas are selectable at the
start.  You must unlock the fifth area.  After completing the first four areas,
you will unlock Score Attack for each area.  After completing the fifth area, 
you will unlock Beyond Mode (Lost Area), Beyond Mode (Direct Assault) and Score 
Attack Area 5.
