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:
Gold medal on Hot Pursuit event 1 (Lotus Elise Delivery):
After coming out of the first tunnel, drive up the big hill. You will see
the first cop on the side of the road. Drive the car as if you are going to
take the shortcut to the right of the cop car, but steer left at the last
moment and stay on the paved road. The cop will take the short cut and lose
sight of you for awhile. After driving across the iron-work bridge and
through the underpass, another cop will be waiting on the left. Follow the
fence line on the right very closely and take the shortcut down the hill.
This will not only shave seconds off of your lap time, but will help you to
lose the cops.
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.
Very lightly press R to
go really slow when you see a cop, then drive off when you are far enough
away.
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:
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 points:
Select "Single Challenge" at the main menu. Set the single
challenge options for one player, cops on, one opponent as an Elise, and
traffic on or off. Select a track for eight laps. Select a car. This will
get you 600, 700, or 800 points per getaway, 100 points for leading a lap,
and 2,000 points for first place.
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:
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.
Race in a tournament eight laps
eight races advanced. To get NFS points, either hit a police car to be
chased or drive by one and do not get caught. Do not worry if you are in
last place; your goal is to get the points to buy faster cars or other
tracks.
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:
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:
Speedometer: Look closely at the speedometer of the Ford Mustang Cobra R. The
meter goes from 180 to 240 to 210 when displayed in kph.
