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.
Information in this section was contributed by Sage.
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.
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.
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.
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: 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: Scared opponents
----------------------
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.
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.
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.
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.
Car performance vs. cost
------------------------
The McFarland F1 LM is not as fast as the regular McFarland F1.
Also, the NFS versions of the cars are not faster than their
regular versions, but cost more.
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.
