Hint:
Wining an outrun: Once you have found an opponent to outrun with, get in front of
the opponent and get in the lead. Get as far as possible until the distance
meter has reached its limit. If the distance meter starts to drop, it
indicates that the opponent is catching up. When this happens, do a
handbrake skid and turn the car around. Go back the way that you came from.
The opponent will follow you as you are the one in lead, but he will take
time to catch up, giving you an advantage to win the outrun.
If you are in front of an
opponent but cannot seem to lose him, head toward the center of the city (
the area that has the five fountains ). Once there, weave through the
fountains. Your opponent will most likely crash into one of the fountains,
giving you an easy win. Note: Practice going through the fountains first
before you attempt an outrun so you do not lose your money. It is easier to
do this in an SUV because it will not reach a high speed before you reach
the fountains.
Find an outrun opponent then
get right behind him. Draft him or her so that you can get a full tank of
NOS, if desired. Then, start to spin out your opponent. You can do this by
getting directly next to the car and turning into its back corner. While it
is sideways or backwards, you can hit press Up to start the outrun.
You will have a large head start because your opponent needs to turn around.
You can win in under 15 seconds by doing this.
This trick requires that most
of the city is unlocked. Get your car and get on the highway that leads
around in a oval-like way. Challenge people on the highway for a much better
chance of winning, since top speeds are better and there are less turns than
the normal roads (so you do not slow down as much).
This trick requires a fast
accelerating car. Drive to the airport where you first start the game, Next,
find an opponent to race. While racing the opponent, make sure you get into
the lead then go onto a little ramp the leads to a road just alongside the
airport. After going down that road, you should be at an intersection where
you can go left or straight. Take a left turn, then go straight down that
road, which should be a parking lot. Once your opponent tries to catch up to
you and gets close to the intersection, he will go straight instead of
turning. This will give you a large lead and an easy win.
Start race with a full bar of
nitrous. Come up from behind your opponent and draft until the nitrous is
full, then do a tailspin maneuver. Do this by clipping the back bumper of
your opponent, which sends them into the wall or in reverse. They will end
up facing the wrong direction, giving you the advantage.
Find an opponent and draft
behind them until you have full NOS (for backup, if you have at least a
dryshot installed). When it is full, pull up next to them. Wait until you
can challenge them, then start it. Then, ram your opponent at the rear tire.
Keep pushing and to cause them to wipe out and stop, or crash into a wall.
Then just drive off on a long straight road and use your saved up NOS. If
you do not win it, you will at least have a very nice lead.
Drive up behind a car that is
better than yours and hit it from the back . Then, challenge it and start to
drive away. If the car is better than yours, it has better handling and will
not take as long to get turned around and chase after you. This will
encourage you to go at higher speeds and use more of your nitrous. Do not
panic if you are going fast and are not very skilled. Just trust yourself
and the car.
Hint:
Winning Street X: In order to win Street X, you must take the turns wide at first
then sharpen up your turns. This will help you add to your lead, and most
likely you will win.
Hint:
Original Need For Speed Underground drift races: Win all Street X races to unlock the drift races from the
original Need For Speed Underground.
Hint:
Easy wins: When racing for magazine covers, unique performance or visual
parts, it helps if you have both NOS bottles filled. This can let you scab
that tenth of a second that you have always missed. It also helps,
especially in the more difficult and longer stages, with small time limits,
to immediately activate the GPS as soon as you have accepted the challenge.
Tap NOS to go faster and
conserve NOS. Always put your NOS at little more on power than duration when
in dyno testing and tweaking your car. This will make it easier to win
races.
Hint:
Easy drag race wins: Instead of using nitrous by holding it down and wasting it all at
once, just keep tapping NOS as fast as you can. You will gain 1 to 3
mph with every tap, which is actually increases your speed faster than if
you were to hold it down. Also, you will run out of it about one third as
fast. Try this under the hardest difficulty setting.
In section 3 when you go to a
drag race, take off the stability control. Note: You will be going so fast
that you can get totaled.
Hint:
Easy Street X wins: When you are in Street X, change your car's transmission to
manual and use a low gear through most of the race. It will help you cut
your speed for better turns.
Hint:
Easier turns in URL races: Notice that before the sharp turns during the URL races, there
are a set of numbers that countdown to 1. Follow those numbers to perfect
your sharp turn into a groove to speed through faster. Keep accelerating
until you reach "1", then slam on the brakes and turn. Once
perfected, this can help you get through the turns with more speed.
In URL races, the CPU will try
to spin you a lot. Whenever your car slides to an 30 to 60 degree angle, use
your NOS and turn.
Some turns in URL races do not
require brakes. Notice that the angles of some of the turns are kind of
rounded. If you have the speed, you could go right into the wall and make
the turn. As long as you are going about 130 mph and hit these certain
corners, you will only go down to 100 mph or so. You have to experiment with
the turns. Sometimes you will go too fast and flip, and other times you will
fly through the turns going 100 mph while the CPU cars slow down, giving you
some cushion time. Remember, you must get up against the wall for this trick
to work.
In the first few laps, you will
most likely be behind someone. When you are going on a turn, they will
probably slow down. This is where you can turn the tables on the entire
race. Do not slow down. Instead, keep going and use him as a wall to get the
inside of the turn without applying the brake. As a bonus you may also get
him to stop in an attempt to shake you, but this will only result in getting
you a good lead. Note: You must make sure he does not ram you into the wall.
In the Underground Racing
League, when you get to a corner, do not go in at full speed. If the turn is
at 45 degrees or under, you have a chance of going in and just clipping the
outside wall. However when you start the race, stay in the back and do not
try to get to first place immediately. Make sure you stay fairly close to
the cars in front. When you reach the corner, floor the accelerator and put
in full throttle. If done quick enough, you should see the cars about to
turn the corner. At this point you should just be close enough to clip the
rear left or right bumper. Because the CPU cars slow down on the corner, you
do not necessarily need to. When you go into it, the car in front will act
as a guide around the corner. Go round the apex of the corner and slowly
release the Analog-stick, and keep on the accelerator out of the
corner to get into third, second, or first place.
If your using a very fast car
with manual transmission, you do not need to brake when you get to a 90
degree corner. For example, if you are in fourth gear and are doing about
200 kph, just shift down to second gear. This will lower the speed to about
100 kph, then turn. Note: Tune your suspension so that your car does not
slide easily, which will lower your speed even more unnecessarily.
Hint:
Finding hidden shops: Look at road signs around the city. They often have colored
shapes (yellow triangles, etc.) to guide the way to the shops. Also, look
for street-lights casting a colored glow. This indicates that there is a
shop very close.
Hint:
Finding more races: If you cannot find any more races on your map, then you need to
find all the hidden shops in the city. After you find all the shops, you
will be asked to be on another DVD cover. Follow the star to get to the next
level. Note: Use the shops map featured below.
If you cannot find any more
races on the map, make your visual rating on your car at least six stars or
more. After you are done with the rating , Rachel will tell you about a
photograph to take. Then after the picture you must do the URL. More races
will appear. You will also unlock level 3 parts if you find the shops.
Hint:
Easy NOS recovery: To get lots of NOS easily, when you are standing still hold hand
brake (R). Next, hold the gas then hold Left or Right.
You should spin around and create smoke. This should give you 300 points
instantly to recover turbo boost
Get on the highway and drive in
reverse. After a few seconds you should begin racking up points on the right
side of your screen. These points will give you extra NOS. Note: Crashing
into traffic at high speeds will reduce your NOS.
When you are on the ground,
activate hydros and keep flicking the Analog-stickLeft
repeatedly to get lots of points for filling your NOS bar. You can also do
about three donuts, then wait and do another three donuts.
Use the following trick to get
extra NOS at the beginning of a race. When the girls are up front waving
their hands, tap NOS to perform a "spray show". This should
give you a little extra NOS.
If you run out of NOS in free
roam mode, press Start and select "Jump To Garage". As soon
as you can, exit garage mode and you should have full NOS. Note: This only
fills up the first tank.
Go to any shop. Enter the shop,
then leave it. You will have a full tank of NOS.
Get on a road and keep doing
360 degree turns using the handbrake. This will give you 400 points and will
add to your NOS. You can repeat this another two times.
By driving your car backwards
(without hitting any cars or walls) you can fully refuel both of your NOS
tanks.
If you are going really fast or
in slow motion, press A repeatedly and move the Analog-stick Up
and Down. When you come out of slow motion you will have the maximum
NOS, with two full bottles.
Enter the freeway and keep
driving in reverse until the score reaches about 3000.
You can recover NOS by doing
one of the following things.
Sprayshow: Purge your nitrous
Traffic Hit: Penalty from hitting traffic.
Lead Lap: Lead a lap in the race.
Clean Section: Make it through an entire race section without hitting
anything.
Clean Lap: Make it through an entire lap without hitting anything.
Shortcut: Take a shortcut.
Avoid Accident: Almost get in a wreck with another car.
360: Perform a 360 or a doughnut while driving.
Best Lap: Score a best lap during a race.
Head Start: Get off the starting line the quickest.
J Turn: Drive in reverse and swing the car around to drive away forwards.
Burnout: Spin the tires.
Leap Frog: Jump your car over a traffic accident.
Hydro Bounce: Bounce your car using level 3 hydraulics.
Hint:
NOS purge and hydraulic use while driving: Go to any shop. Drive under the entrance projector and bring up
all sides of car or bounce any desired side. Then, purge your NOS and while
still holding NOS, press Up to enter the shop. When it shows
your car entering the shop, you will be purging and bouncing while driving.
Hint:
Easy money: Collecting the little information logos around the city gives you
money. You will receive $25 for each one.
As soon as you start the game,
ignore Rachel's request to go to the car lot. Instead, try to collect as
many information icons as possible. This will give you that little extra
money to start modding your car, and will save time as you do not have to
look for them in your initially slow car. Also, enter the two races shown on
your GPS (circuit and sprint races). Going in these two races will give you
at least 500 points in the bank. You should receive a message to get to the
car lot now. Do so, and continue playing the game.
Listen to the other racers that
periodically talk to you. They will say a general location in the city where
you can find hidden races not shown on the map that are worth $850 instead
of the usual $300.
In the career mode menu, go to
the world map. Select any race that has not been completed in any stage.
Once the race has started, pause game play and restart. After you have won
the race, a screen will appear showing you how many reputation points and
how much bank you have won. You will then go to the menu that asks if you
want to return to explore mode, restart, etc. When this appears choose
"Return To Main Menu". You do not have to save the game. Then,
just go back into the career menu and select the "World Map"
option again. Choose another race that has not been completed and start it.
If done correctly, all of the races in the world map will be against three
Toyota Corollas or a mixture of Hummers, Escalades and Navigators. If you
restart these races, you will always get money if you win.
When you start with Rachel's
car, do not take it back immediately. Instead, do some outruns and races to
get money. You will then have a boost of money when you get your own car.
In career mode, eventually you
will get sponsored and there will be purple crosses on the map. If you go to
them, they are usually a sponsored circuit race. If you win them, you will
get $900.
Enter career mode and go down
to the Burger King and Best Buy area. Drive around and look for a stone wall
and alley by the town shops. Go into the alley and turn sharply to the
right. There will be a parking lot where an opponent will be sitting. He
will not be appear on your navigation map, nor will you. You can challenge
this opponent to an easy outrun. He will always drive towards the stadium.
After you beat him, return to the parking lot where two red info messages
will appear. Get them for $25 each. After you collect them, go into a
garage, shop, etc., and save the game. Then, go back to the parking lot.
Five green money bags will be there. Collect them, jump to the garage (on
the main menu screen) and return for five more. This will get you money much
easier than racing.
You can earn big money in stage
5. Go to garage in any stage of career mode and go to the world map. You can
participate in races from previous stages. If you race one, pause game play
and restart the race. You will get a bigger bank than if you had waited
until you were done with all the stages (up to $31,00 in stage 5).
Once you have completed the
game and are taking a long time to get money, go to your garage and access
the world map. Find events that you have not completed. The races that are
not completed may have money waiting once you win the race.
Use the following trick to get
more money for winning a race. Watch for races that are not marked on the
map. They give you more money for winning than a regular race.
Hint:
Taking a nice photo shoot: Once you are in the photo shoot area, press X, hold your
hand brake (R), then rev the engine and press either Left or Right.
The car should do donuts. While it is doing this, take the photo. This will
give a smoky look on your wheels in the picture.
Hint:
Drift mode: In drift mode, set your car up using the following this basic
structure. Tune the ECU to have as much torque as you can get in the early
gears. Make all of the suspension settings as hard as possible to eliminate
shock travel. This will help get the back end out. Turn the tire grip to
weak. Also, make the cars acceleration as quick as possible. For the toe
settings, lower it all the way. Make the aero settings as weak as possible.
Set the brake bias towards rear. By doing this, you will greatly increase
your score, especially on the downhill. On the straight-aways you can do
Choku-Doris (go from side to side) to rack up big points. You can then link
them to power over-steer drifts, which is when you will use the torque and
acceleration to lose traction in the back tires, then use carefully timed
throttle control to get around the corner as sideways as possible. This will
help your drifts scores get as high as possible. Throttle control is very
important -- do not get discouraged if you spin out a lot. Note: This has
not been attempted on FF or AWD cars. FF and AWD cars will most likely have
a softer suspension setting but everything else would probably remain the
same. FF and AWD cars also need the hand brake to initiate drifts more than
a FR car would.
Hint:
Easy style points: Driving in reverse will give you style points. The longer you
drive in reverse, the more points you will receive.
To do this, you will need at
least level 1 hydraulics. Drive up against a wall and activate your
hydraulics. Then, press the gas and stay up against the wall. You may need
to turn sometimes to keep it straight. You should start to get points on the
right side of your screen.
Get a set of hydraulics (level
2 recommended). Come to a complete stop then hold the hand brake. Keep on
pressing Analog-stickLeft and Right or Up and Down
and your points should keep on increasing.
Hint:
Easy drift points: Some of the downhill drift races have houses with looping drive
ways that you can drive in. Drifting in these driveways gets a lot more
points than on the street because you are so far off the road and are not
hitting a wall.
Go into Quick Race mode and
select the Subaru Impreza with all Extreme or Level 3 performance parts. You
may style the visual as desired, Then, choose Drift Track 6 and 10 laps with
easy opponents. Drive through the middle of the track. When you are just
before a corner, press the handbrake. Release it after you have slightly
slid. Your car will soon almost spin and will drift through easily. Continue
through the rest of the track by swerving on the straights and using the
handbrake properly on the corners. You can get about 50,000 to 500,000 drift
points at the end of the race.
Hint:
Final race: The final race is against Caleb (the man that tells Nikki to win,
then she loses and joins your team) on a 4.5 mile track and 5 laps. However,
he only gets up to about 130 mph.
Hint:
Get bank for races: There are five stages, and as you complete each of them you can
go back and repeat the races again. You may even find that there are some
races you missed. These are the ones that you want to race. When you go to
these, you are not supposed to get anything for them but you can change
that. To access these races, go to your garage, then your world map, and
select a race. When the race begins, pause game play and restart the race.
Notice that there is an option to return to world map, however after you
restart it will not be there. You can now race and get bank for it.
Hint:
Hydraulics: After you buy level 1, 2, or 3 hydraulics, come to a complete
stop and hold R. Use the Analog stick to move up, down, left,
or right. The longer you move back and forth, the more points you will get.
To activate your hydraulics,
you hold the gas, the brake, and the hand brake. While holding those down,
move the Analog-stick in the direction which you want the car to
move.
Hint:
Jumping: Install hydraulics level 2. Kiss the wall, then use your
hydraulics (move the Analog-stick Up and Down quickly). Sooner
or later, the car will jump, even making flips and 360s.
Hint:
Rear wheel drive wheelie: This trick requires a real wheel drive car with level 3
hydraulics. Start with your car in neutral. Double tap then hold the R
to engage the hydraulics. Hold Analog-stick Up to begin bouncing the
front end of the car. In mid-bounce, release R, but keep holding the Analog-stick
Up. The car will keep bouncing. Press the C-stickForward
to rev up the engine, then shift into first gear, while still holding Forward
on both of the Analog-stick and C-stick. Your next hydraulic
bounce will be delayed in the air while the car does a rolling burnout,
causing your car to do a wheelie. This is great for showing off for the
cover shoots of magazines.
This trick requires level 3
hydraulics. Tap A(2), then hold A. Press Analog-stick
Forward while still holding A. Release A while holding Analog-stick
Forward. Release the Analog-stick and the car should still be
bouncing on its front wheels. If so, hold the R to accelerate and the
car should pop a wheelie for about 10 to 15 feet.
Hint:
Lift tire off ground: To get a left rear tire off the ground, go to "Customize
Car" and put hydraulics on the Pontiac GTO. Go to free ride mode and
put the rear of the car off the ground with the hydraulics. Then, push the
gas and hit the brakes. The left rear of the car will comes off the ground.
Note: You must have the level 2 brakes.
Get any car with level 2 or 3
hydraulics. Lift any side and the front. Start doing donuts in the opposite
direction. For example, if the left side tires are lifted, then do an donut
to the right, and vice versa. You should see the left or right rear tire
lift off the ground. It will be like that for the entire time that you are
doing the donut.
Hint:
Get car on either side of the wheels: This trick requires all of the level 2 upgrades, and hydraulics
upgrade level 2. Get the hydraulics to either side of the car, and only that
one side. Then, do a donut to the right if the left side of the car is
lifted and vice versa. This only happens for a moment.
Hint:
Catwalk: To catwalk a car, you must have stage three hydraulics and have
stage 3 performance parts. Try using a Mazda RX-8 or a Ford Mustang. To
start your catwalk, bounce the front of your car then release the emergency
brake but continue to hold Forward. Then hit the gas at the top of
the bounce. You car should catwalk. Note: This will now work with AWD and
FWD cars.
Hint:
Endo: Get any car and put level 3 hydraulics on it. Put on level 3
brakes. You can also use all level 3 engine parts to make it go higher.
First, put the rear end up. Then, bounce the back. Next, go about 17 mph (or
faster) and hit the brake. If done correctly, you could have the entire back
end of the car straight up.
Hint:
Two wheel donut: Use an RX-7 with level 3 hydraulics. Put the right side up all
the way, but keep the left side down. Get the left side bouncing. Then,
steer left the entire time. At first you need to get the speed in the turn
up to 20 mph for about three seconds. When on two wheels, keep it at 15 mph
to stay in a nice donut on two wheels. It can also be done the other way--
just put the left up instead of the right.
Hint:
Front end donut: Install level 3 hydraulics and bounce the back end of your car.
Then, begin to do a donut. After you do about three donuts you will start to
do them on your front two tires.
Hint:
Mustang GT: Avoid spins: In career mode when you unlock The Mustang GT, be careful when
you put in the top engine with the top ECU. When going fast, watch out for
sharp turns. You might spin out in a race; try to work on your handling.
Hint:
Driving move: Get on a highway of some kind at about 110 mph. When traffic is
clear, hold R + Left until your car is spun at a 90 degree
angle. Then, release the buttons (make sure your car is still spinning) then
hold B. You will be driving in reverse. When you are driving, do a
J-Turn (turn back around to the front when in reverse). Then, accelerate to
finish the move.

Hint:
Fast career car: Use the following trick to create an extremely fast and high
starred car quickly. When you start career mode, choose a Peugeot 106. Try
not to get any upgrades unless you need them. Keep winning races and playing
through the game until you unlock the Toyota Celica This can be made into
the fastest car in the game. Get it immediately when it is unlocked. This
should be sometime in level 2. Play through the game, making sure to take
the opportunity to do of any outruns. This will unlock unique upgrades. When
you unlock the unique part, you will have to go to a star on the map first.
The game will tell you to go to a certain shop, depending on what the unique
is. The first one is a unique hood. You must win four outruns for it. Then
in stage 3, you need will need three outrun wins for a unique engine,
transmission, or tire set. Choose the engine. For unique rims , get six wins
in stage 3. The spoilers require four wins on stage 4. The vinyls require
six wins on stage 4. The ECU, turbo or brakes require nine wins on stage 4.
Select the ECU. The NOS, weight or suspension uniques require six wins on
stage 5. Select NOS for an extra long boost. Finally, the wide body kits
uniques require eleven wins on stage 5. Put all of these on your Celica, and
it will be the fastest car in the game. Note: Do not forget to install the
performance upgrades up to level 3.
Hint:
Recommended cars: The best car is the Toyota Celica. When you unlock everything.
put all the parts on it.
One of the best cars in the
game is the Toyota Corolla. Once you obtain all level three performance
upgrades, you can go online and sup it up . Add whatever desired, including
all level three upgrades then go to tuning and set it to drag so that it can
take off the line quicker. Then, lower the suspension to the lowest setting.
You should now have a car that can beat Celicas and Skylines, and will take
off the line faster.
After unlocking all level three
performance parts, get a Nissan 240SX and put all of the performance parts
on it. If you go online with this car (with performance parts on the car)
and get mostly perfect shifts during a drag, you should be able to beat all
other car (excluding other 240SX's). If you want to go even faster, you will
have to edit the settings of your car on the dyno run.
To get a fast Nissan Skyline
that goes up to 227 to -228 on the airport freeway drag race, install all
performance parts except for the six speed transmission. If you install the
six speed transmission, you will get better acceleration but less top speed.
The fastest car in the game is
the Acura Rsx with level three upgrades. The top speed is 240 mph; with
unique you can it up tp 247 mph. When you go to the dyno, it will not say
that, but it will be that fast on the road.
At the beginning of your
career, pick the Mazda Miata but do not get any upgrades. When you can get
the Hyundai Tiburon, trade it in. It can be the fastest car in the game.
Upgrade it. When you can get an SUV, get the Cadillac Escalade.
The fastest career car is the
Hyundai Tiburon, if you put all level 3s and uniques and fine tune it.
The recommended car for an
entire career is the Nissan 240SX. Unlock all level 3 performance add them
to it. Then, go to the dyno and tune it as follows. First. go to the
suspension and tune everything its highest. Then, go to the drive train and
also put everything at the highest. Next, go to aerodynamics and do the
same. Next, go to tires and brakes and also put everything to the highest.
Go to ECU and do the first dot. Make it the highest, then with the next,
also make that the highest. Then, do the same to the rest. However, you
cannot do it twice. Go to turbo and do the same to turbo that you did to the
ECU. Finally, go to nitrous and set it at its maximum. Your car will be
unstoppable as long as you start with a perfect shift and do the same with
the rest. Do the dyno test again. You should see much improvement.
Hint:
More horsepower and torque: To add more horsepower and torque, go to "Customize",
then tune a car up to level 3 parts. Then, go to "Performance
Tune/Dyno". Choose for example, "Drag", then go to "Tune
Settings". Go to "ECU" and set it so that from 5 rpm to 9 rpm
or whatever is the most the maximum amount of torque you can add. Do the
same for "Turbo". Then. go to "Nitrous" and set the
duration to 4 seconds. This will add both torque and horsepower to your
ride.
Hint:
Carbon fiber the entire car: Carbon your body kit, then put a wide body kit on it. The entire
wide body will be carbon fiber. This will also give you a wider wheel base
and should result in a lighter car.
Hint:
Get to top speed faster: To get to your top speed faster, go into your garage then go to
"Tune up/Dyno". After that, go to "Circuit" and select
the ECU. Make levels 3, 4, and 5 as low as possible; with 3 the lowest. Do a
dyno run and look at your speed. Compare this to the first time you did it.
It should increase a lot, helping in all your races.
Hint:
Jump off a car : To jump off a car's hood, you must first jump off an uphill road
the other way that the car is traveling. Use your NOS, get some air, and
when the car approaches, get on its hood, off its windshield, then into the
air.
Hint:
Pimpmobile: Take a Nissan Skyline, Ford Mustang or anything else with the
same body shape. Put on any desired body parts, apart from "CF"
items. Then, set everything that can have its color changed to a light gold.
Leave it like that with no vinyls or decals and cruise the city.
Glitch:
Car jump: Buy hydraulics, then go up to a wall. Note: This will not work on
all walls. Stop and use the hydraulics. Keep doing it until your car flies
into the air.
Glitch:
Drive through wall: On one of the races in Jackson Heights, where part of it is near
the entrance, if you are near the finish line and the red walls are on your
left, drive against the wall. If you hold the Analog-stickRight
enough, you should be able to go through the wall and drive anywhere.
Glitch:
Drive in magazine: Once you do very good in a race or get far in the game, you can
take a picture for a magazine. When you are at the screen to take the
picture, go to "Control Car". Once there, press A + B
until the camera angle is at the back of your car. Then, press B and
take the picture. It will show your car in the magazine. When you are there,
you can drive around inside the magazine.
Glitch:
Jump on parking lot: When you have hydraulics in story mode, go to the City Core
Airport. Once there, go to the airport parking lot entrance. The entrance
and exit are blocked off by a metal gate. Push against it as much as
possible. Press X and move Analog-stick Up and Down.
This will activate the hydraulics, which will cause your car to jump high
enough to land on top of the first or second floor of parking lot. Note:
Your story mode car must be light (for example, a Mazda Miata).
Glitch:
Hydraulic points: Land on the roof of your car during an accident. When it enters
slow motion, activate your hydraulics and watch the points rack up. It is
possible to get 2,000 points by doing this.
Glitch:
Map error: Drive in Beacon Hill at the area where it is a big out of the way
loop, where there is a small circle that is connected to the road. This
circle has a big monument in the middle. The map shows that the small circle
is on one section of the offset area, but it is actually on the other end of
the area.
Glitch:
SUV race: When you are racing with an SUV, one SUV race is in the middle of
the ocean and you cannot get to it.
