Hint:
Extra points: If you see a police car ahead, ram it to get him to chase
you. Lose the police car and you will get extra points for a hit-and-run.
Look for the dirt road shortcuts to lose the police and get ahead of other
drivers.
Choose be the police in Hot
Pursuit mode. You will get 25,000 points each time you complete one
mini-mission.
Start You're The Cop mode in
single player under the beginner difficulty setting. Select either the Crown
Victoria or the BMW M5 (the opponents are easier to catch). Then, go to
National Forest and catch the fourth and third cars. On the last two, hit
the third one to make him lose control, then arrest the first place car.
Immediately catch the second player that you forced to lose control to
minimize the time to around 138, if done quickly enough. The procedure is
quick but easy, giving you over 25,000 points if you throw in a couple of
jumps. Then, restart and do it again.
Go to challenge mode, pick the
Pursuit Crown Victoria, then choose Outback II and set it for two, four, or
eight laps. When you start the race, get your top speed points then slow
down to about 75 mph. Then, step on the gas and get your top speed points
again. You can keep doing this as long as desired. You can also do this on
any other track, but Outback II is the easiest.
In Hot Pursuit or Championship
mode, it is possible to get a great amount of points. When racing, get the
minimum position needed to proceed (for example, third, second, and first
place). Race and get third place. When you get third place and collect your
points, restart the race. Only this time, get second place. Collect your
points, restart the race, and get first place. You now have the points of
all three places and more than if you had just gotten first place the first
time.
Go to You're The Cop mode. When
you start, put your sirens on first then call for a roadblock. They will put
out a spike strip. All four speeders will run over them. You can then arrest
them. Immediately afterwards, you will get the points.
Hint:
360 powerslide: This trick is tough to pull off and will require some
practice before using it in a race. Get to at least 80 mph. Press the Analog-stick
backwards at an angle in the direction that you want to turn, so it
is inverting your slide. As soon as you begin to turn, slam and hold the
brakes. Force the Analog-stick sequentially around in an
extreme circle. Release your brakes when you are about 75% through your
turn. Slam your accelerator, and power yourself through the rest of the
turn. At the end, it is recommended that you bank the car for a moment,
because you do not want the it to fly out of control.
Hint:
Police check: If you have the Rear Mirror option on, you should see a
meter (radar detection meter) at the bottom of it. If you do not see this
meter, it indicates that there are no police in the current race. If you
happen to see that meter at the bottom of your rear view mirror, be aware as
there are law enforcers on that course.
Hint:
Yellow stars: On the upper-right corner of the screen are four star
shadows. Each time you break a law or do something bad, you will get a
yellow star. For example, a hit-and-run is two stars. If you get four yellow
stars, you should beware of roadblocks, including the choppers.
Hint:
Get the police off your tail: If you have one or two police chasing you, swerve around
things such as incoming traffic, trees, poles, or any other immobilized
objects. The police may not see it and crash into it. This gives you an
advantage to lose them. If you are way ahead of the pack and do not feel
like having a police on your tail, if your radar detector detects an
incoming radar (or police), zoom on the road in front of you. See where the
police are parked, and slam into the back of their car. It will be a hit and
run, but the police car will be dead. You will not even get a yellow star.
When you want to get rid of the
cop chasing you at a close distance, get just behind him so that your front
tire is touching his back tire. Then, turn your car slightly in the
direction of the cop car. The officer will get turned around and end up
facing in the wrong direction. This should give you enough time to get away.
If you are really lucky, he may hit the other racers and cause a big
accident.
If you are cornered, press Reset
Car to start back on the road and lose the cops.
Use the following trick to
easily escape from police radar. When you get close to a cop, stay on the
correct side of the road and drive 80 mph at the most.
When you have a cop on your
tail, wait for it to come to your side. When it is trying to ram you from
the side, brake as fast as possible. The best area to do this is at Coastal
Parkland. The best car to use to make you crack up at the cop is the McLaren
F1 LM or the McLaren F1. If done correctly, you will see the cop ram into
the wall.
In Hot Pursuit mode, whenever a
police cruiser attempts to push you off the road try to push it towards the
other side of the road. Eventually the cruiser will spin out of control and
crash.
If you are getting chased by
the cops, let the cop get a bit ahead of you and then do a California Stop
to the officer. It should spin him out and you should only swerve slightly.
This will give you plenty of time to get away from the cops. Note: A
California Stop is when you hit the back left/right wheel with your front
wheel. This will spin the car out.
Hint:
Get rid of police helicopters: Find a dividing road. Shortcuts work perfectly. When the
helicopter is in front of you, it will follow the main road. It will not
switch roads after it is on one. Go on the other road, and the helicopter
will be gone.
Hint:
Predict police actions: Turn the "Speech" option on high in the
"Audio" screen when the police are on your tail, especially when
police may be present on the race course. Be aware that the police may say
something about roadblocks and where they are, as well as what they may try
to do to end your speeding frenzy.
To do this, you must wait for
the police to choose the road block button. If you are going over 100 mph,
they will choose a spike strip, but if you are going 100 mph or less, they
will choose a barricade. Note: This only works if they call for a road
block. If they call for a spike/barricade, then you cannot change that.
Hint:
Police detection: When you are driving, be aware of the shadowed bar below the
rearview mirror. It will start to climb with green and then red as you close
in on a cop. If a cop is already chasing you and has issued a roadblock,
watch the bar. If the strip started with yellow, it indicates that a road
block is approaching.
Hint:
No police: If you drive backwards on any track you will not see any
police.
Hint:
Easy arrests in be-the-cop mode: Do not turn on your sirens right away. Sneak up on them.
When you are on them, turn on your sirens, spin them out, turn around, and
hit them head on. This will result in a one hit bust every time.
When you are a cop, get into an
area were you have some bit of room to swerve. Next do a California stop of
the car you are chasing. This will make the car spin viciously out. Next,
turn around as fast as you can and hit the front of the car. This will total
the car and it will be a bust. Note: A California Stop is when you hit the
back left/right wheel with your front wheel. This will spin the car out.
Hint:
Get another racer stopped by the cops: When a car is being chased by the cops, get a short distance
behind it and do a California Stop to it. It will spin him out and most of
the time he will get stopped by the officer that is chasing him. Note: A
California Stop is when you hit the back left/right wheel with your front
wheel. This will spin the car out.
Hint:
Easy wins in single event: When you are directly next to someone in a race and they are
getting chased by a cop, if they are in front of you slow down to where you
are directly behind them on either the left or the right. Slowly speed up to
where the hood of your car is on the side next to their trunk. Very quickly
slam into their car to make them spin out of control. If they are too slow,
they will be caught by the cop. After this happens, continue to do this
until you are the only one remaining.
Hint:
Easy money: Go to challenge mode, set the difficulty on advanced, and
use only one opponent and give him a M5. Then just choose your car and a
short track. Make sure to set it to one lap. By doing this you will get
either $2,100 or $1,500.
Go to "Single
Challenge" and set the number of players to "1". Then, turn
on the cops, turn off the traffic, set opponents to "1", and make
the opponent an "Elise" car. Choose a short track (Coastal
Parkland recommended), and make the race two laps. Race it with a fast car,
such as the Ferrari 360 Spider. If you get in first place on both laps, win
the race, and outrun the police two or three times, you should get a total
of $3,500 to $4,200.
Hint:
Single player race with no opponents: Select two players, and in the options menu, change
"Opponents" to "None". Back out and select one player.
Go race and there should be no opponents, allowing easy wins and unlimited
time to play on jumps.
Hint:
Desert Heat: Big air: Go to the shortcut by the gas station in two player mode.
You will see a lot of cactuses and trees. Go toward them and jump up. Try to
get stuck on the roof of the gas station. If you get on the gas station's
roof, stay there. You will still be in the air. You can have the other
player knock you off of the roof.
Hint:
Ferrari 360 Challenge: You must complete all events in Ultimate Racer and World
Championship modes. Complete Bonus Event 31 for both to unlock Super Bonus
Event 32. Either Event 32 in Ultimate Racer or World Championship modes will
unlock the same car. Complete Event 32 successfully and the Ferrari 360
Challenge is yours.
Hint:
Clean race: There will be two objectives you will have to do to unlock
two kinds of cars. These two involve clean racing. For a clean race, avoid
hitting any object that inflicts damage on your car, such as hitting another
car, a wall, etc. Hitting road signs, going offroad, or landing very hard on
big jumps are excluded since those do not do any damage.
Hint:
Slow opponents down: All of your opponents can be scared. If your opponents are
directly besides you, suddenly steer towards them, as if you were trying to
ram their car off the road. They will panic and veer away from your sudden
move. If you are lucky, they may veer away too much, thus causing them to
crash into an object, slowing them down. You can also do this to police that
are on your tail.
Another way to slow down
opponents is to get behind their car and ram it 180 degrees from the bottom
left or right of it. Note: This can also be done to cops.
Hint:
Race in single race without opponents: Note: This trick requires two controllers. First, go to
World Racing with two players. Choose a car and race. When race begins,
exit. Go back into World Racing Challenge, then switch the two players
option to one player. Choose the same car that appears. This is best done
with the Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR. It is similar to free run, but you can win
cars and get points.
Hint:
Traffic pulls over for you: Choose a cop car in challenge mode. In the race, turn the
sirens on. The cars will pull over.
Hint:
License plate number: Go into race or go to the showcase. In the race, switch to
the near view; in the showcase zoom into the car from behind. The license
plate will read "ND 4 SPD" (Need For Speed).
Glitch:
German Showdown Tournament: Go past barrier: At the very bottom left side of Hot Pursuit mode is the
German Showdown Tournament. In race 3/4, as soon as the start timer counts
down, go backwards to the cement barrer. Go to the right side of the
barricade (at the bottom), then press the car reset button ( Z ).
If you were close enough, you should end up on the other side of the
barrier. Turn around and go the other way. After you cross the gap on the
map, your status will change to first place. Keep driving and you should
find a huge unfinished "mountain". Stay at the dead end and you
will see your opponents flying through. Some how they have gotten through
the blocked off bridge that appears later in the stage. To get out, go to
the opposite part of the barrier and press Z . Note: this
may require a few attempts.
Glitch:
Disappearing car: Choose single player mode, select two people, no cops, and
traffic on. Go to the second level that is available from the start. You
will find a tunnel. Go out of it. Make sure there is a van near you. Go
straight out and you will see a hill-like object. Get player two to ram the
van into the hill. When touching the hill, ram the van numerous times. The
car will eventually disapear into the "hill". To find it, have the
second player ram you into the hill multiple times. You will eventually fade
in there as well. You will both end up back in the tunnel.
Glitch:
Floating car: Get any car and choose a course with a big jump. When you
are about in mid-air, press the car reset button ( Z ).
This will reset the car, but it will still look as if you are jumping;
making the car look as if it floated down from the sky.
Glitch:
Cheaper car: Enter the car selection screen and go to any expensive car.
Scroll around to the left then check the price. It should have dropped. If
not, scroll around again.
