Drive
any car in any tournament: Successfully complete all the tournaments. Additionally, select
"Options" at the car select screen to choose upgraded opponents.
Dashboard
view: Press Start to load the race after selecting the game
options, then immediately hold Up + Triangle + X
before the loading screen appears. Keep the buttons held until the loading
screen disappears. A dashboard will now appear in the in-car view.
Remove
race statistics screen: Hold Triangle for a few seconds during a race to make
the statistics (time, speed, radar, etc.) disappear. To display them
again, hold Triangle.
Turbo
boost: Enable the "Dashboard view" code, then press Up
during game play.
For the turbo boost without
the dashboard view, or when in two player mode: Press Start to load
the race after selecting the game options, then immediately hold Up
+ Triangle + Square before the loading screen appears. Keep
the buttons held until the loading screen disappears. Then, press Up
during game play.
Drunk
mode: Press Start to load the race after selecting the game
options, then immediately hold Up + R1 + L2 before
the loading screen appears. Keep the buttons held until the loading screen
disappears. The screen will become blurred, with ten cars appearing in
place of one.
Heavier
car: Select single race, test drive, or high pursuit mode. Press Start
to load the race after selecting the game options, then immediately hold Left
+ Square + Circle before the loading screen appears. Keep
the buttons held until the loading screen disappears. Your car will become
heavier, allowing you to run into other cars and send them flying. This is
especially useful in the open road special events.
Slow
CPU cars: Select tournament or special events mode. Press Start to
load the race after selecting the game options, then immediately hold Left
+ Square + Circle before the loading screen appears. Keep
the buttons held until the loading screen disappears. Alternately, hold Right
+ Circle + Square.
Quick
resume: Press Select after crashing to quickly return to the
middle of the road. This is very useful after crashing into a wall that
you must back up from before continuing.
Easy
cars and money: Note: This version of the trick requires two memory cards. You
need to own at least one car and have enough money ($20,000) to buy a new
car. Once this is accomplished, copy the Need For Speed 4 file to another
memory card. While both memory cards are in the PlayStation, race in the
High Stakes mode and have player two intentionally forfeit at the
beginning of the race. Player one should now have two of the same car.
Copy the saved data to the other card again and repeat. You can then sell
all your cars for a large amount of money.
To perform this trick with
only one memory card, enter high stakes mode and the game will search port
one for a memory card before checking port two. If there is no card in
port two, the game will prompt you to retry. Simply remove the card from
port one and insert it into port two to have double the cars.
Have at least two cars or one
car and $20,000 saved to a memory card. Use the "Easy money"
hint to earn some money. Sell the cars that you have won. Buy a car, but
do not save it on your memory card. Use the "Easy money" hint.
You will be able to use the car owned when saved. After one win, you will
now have both of those cars, plus the one(s) that you bought with the
money from the first one. You now have one extra car.
Unlimited
money: Play the game in two player High Stakes mode and keep raising
money until you can buy two of each car. After this point, every time a
tournament or a single race is entered you will have three McLaren F1
GTRs. Sell one to build your total cash. After selling one of those cars,
go to a race in a single race mode. Race, then go back to the car dealer.
Three McLarens will be there.
Activate
lights: Hold L1 and press Left or Right to use the
turn signals. Hold L1 and press Up to turn on the
headlights. Hold L1 and press Down to turn on the hazard
lights.
When you drive in the dark,
you will always have your lights on. You can turn them bigger and smaller
by pressing Up. Press L1 + Up to turn them completely
off. Once they are off, press Up and you will be in the dark.
Activate
horn: Press Up to beep your horn.
To use the horn at night, use
a Dual Shock controller. Press Analog, then L3 or R3.
Change
music: Pause game play during a race. Resume the game to change the
current song.
Hint:
Easy turning: To prevent too much sliding while turning, pause game play.
When the game is resumed, your car will automatically straighten up.
Hint:
Power slide: If you are going around a tight corner, press Triangle
and you will slide into place. This is most useful in kindermak Park at
the hair pin turn.
To perform ridiculous power
slides, choose the Mercedes CLK-GTR as your car. It has 60% of its weight
at the back. Next, go to car tuning and set suspension to as soft as it
will go. Experiment with things such as turn speed, tire type, and cheats.
This car has a lot of oversteer, and is great fun to drive.
Hint:
Burn rubber: Press Square + X to burn rubber.
Hint:
Gold Diablo SV chase: Select Hot Pursuit mode under the expert skill level. Begin
game play and look for a road block with a Super Cop with gold Diablo SV
with blue and yellow lights instead of the silver Corvette with red and
blue lights.
Hint:
Special event skip: Once the BMW Z3 Special Event has been successfully completed,
you need to enter the Tournament with the Camaro and Firebirds. Forfeit
the first race when it starts, then repeat this with all the remaining
races. Once this has been completed, you can go to the special event and
win with your Camaro/Firebird.
Hint:
Extra hot pursuit time: Do not enter a name to get more time in single player hot
pursuit mode.
Hint:
Hot pursuit mode items: When playing the cop in hot pursuit mode, L1 during the
chase and a small item box will appear in the bottom right corner. Keep L1
held and press a button for backup, road blocks, etc.
Hint:
Eliminate Nemesis: Enable the "Heavier car" code (and optionally, the
"Turbo boost" code). If Nemesis is in first place, slam or spin
his car so that one of the other cars is in first, your car is in second,
and his car is in any other position. Nemesis should fall back slightly.
Regain first place without Nemesis passing you. Nemesis should fall back
into last or second to last place and will trail behind the pack. He will
remain in this position as long as he does not pass your car. If this is
done during a tournament race, he will remain in that position for the
rest of the tournament.
Hint:
Easier Hot Pursuit arrests: Press L1 + Up to turn off the sirens in your
police car in hot pursuit mode. The speeder should begin to slow down.
Turn the sirens back on after your car is in position to arrest the
driver.
Another way to make Hot
Pursuit arrest easier is to enable the "Turbo boost" and the
"Heavier car" codes. To do this, enable the "Turbo
boost" code for a single race or test drive. Then, enable the
"Heavier car" code for the Hot Pursuit. Make sure damage is set
to "on". Use the turbo to catch up with the speeder, then ram
the car. After doing this several times, if you have not caught him
already, the speeder will begin to slow down greatly.
Hint:
Saving money: Save the game before entering big competitions. When you crash
in a tournament or special event and do not want to pay, simply reset the
PlayStation.
Hint:
Program music: Choose the "CD Player" selection at the options menu.
You will be able to program the music you want to hear by pressing X
to toggle the songs.
Glitch:
Flying crashes: Choose any race type, then choose Kindiak Park as a track.
There is a glitch in the game that allows you to send your car flying
through the air, with hang times upwards of five seconds, and with great
crashes at the end. In forward driving, as you round the last right-hand
bend approaching the finish line at the railroad tracks, head for the left
side of the track. You will see an embankment on each side of the tracks
where they leave the screen. Basically, you will need to drive between the
last light pole before the tracks and the crossing signal, launching your
car off of the first embankment onto the other, jumping the tracks. Try to
barely hit the embankments -- if you travel too far up onto the hill, you
will hit an invisible "wall". If you can get the car to launch
in this way, it will sail high in the air off of the second embankment,
often rounding the first right-hand bend of the track while still
airborne.
Glitch:
Disappearing or small car in replay: This cheat works in replay mode. Select a car, then choose
Canada: Kindiak Park . Drive normally but do not go the wrong way. After
you finish the race, view the replay. The car will drive straight and then
turn right. Before it turns and passes the trees, pause the replay. Cycle
through all the camera views until reaching camera number 1 again. You
will see only trees without the car or a very small car. If this does not
happen, use camera number 3.
Glitch:
Quick Hot Pursuit time: Select the first track in France in Hot Pursuit mode. When your
police car is almost aside the car being chased, get in front of it and
intentionally crash into the wall. If done correctly, the game will
register the him as being caught with a very quick time.
Glitch:
Stop talking and moving: Select single player mode, then choose Hot Pursuit. Play as a
cop and when he is talking to headquarters, press L2. He will stop
talking and moving.
Glitch:
Pass through invisible walls: Start the race on either the Mediterraneo or the Mystic Peaks
track with the McLaren F1 in simulation mode. At any time during the race,
drive in reverse, keep your horn blaring, and hit any at moveable object
(except for signs) at about 60 mph. Then, drive over 80 mph and hit any
guard rail, bridge, etc. to fly off the track.
