Circa. May-Early June#
Earlier Post-E3 Build#
The following screenshots are from the source code leak of the manual images, where some don't make an appearance. According to the manual draft from the PR Disc, they are dated June 12, 2003, suggesting they were taken in mid-late May or early June. They all have the finalized minimap design, but with light-green roads than dark-green, and neon-green for interiors.

- The purchase screen had a completely different background; it can be found in the final unused.
- The price was displayed on a "price tag" graphic.
- Note: The currency numbers are less "spaced" on the console versions of the game shown in the prerelease image, than the PC version used in the final image. This is not a difference with the build shown in the screenshot

Early June Build#
This image appears in the Hit & Run User Manual.doc, date June 12, 2003, suggesting it was taken around that time. It's different from the prior screenshots due to having a near-finalized minimap design.

Manual Build#

To do: |
Present in the manual for the GameCube, PlayStation 2 (and the Xbox, to some extent) releases are a few not-quite-final screenshots displaying more of the 3D rendered character portraits, except with a near-finalized HUD. Please note that the second to last picture only appears in the former, as the latter uses an updated picture with the actual 2D mugshot.
A date saying "June 16, 2003" on the Load Game menu detailed on one of the first pages suggests that these pictures might be from Mid-June. The July 3, 2003 prototype uses the finalized lowercase "Hit & Run!" font.
A few of the images were already covered earlier in the article so they will be omitted in this section.
