Keep in mind that I did not play the other NFS games. Any E-Mails concerning them will be instantly deleted. I made this FAQ because there was only one other FAQ for this game at GameFAQs (http://www.gamefaqs.com/). And what do you know I already got a hollow blue circle :). Anyway let's get to the guide. -------------------------==========================--------------------------- Table of Contents -------------------------==========================--------------------------- I.

Author's Note -------------------------==========================--------------------------- Version History -------------------------==========================--------------------------- .1 - First Release Adding everything but gameshark codes. .2 - Updated Added GS codes and a trick/tip .3 - Updated Tested gameshark codes and all work! Also Neoseeker wants my FAQ. .4 - Updated Removed bad code. Still wondering if Gamewinners wants this. .5 - Updated Put the points for the tournament in(I was so dumb, forgetting those...). .6 - Updated Psxcodez wanted this FAQ. .7 - Updated Added a "Top Speed" section for those of you who want to know the top speed for all the cars. Major formating correction. Final - Added Track Records section. This will be the last version. Don't E-Mail me anymore. Added ASCII Art. Changed font size. Best viewed in Courier New 10. Final - I let IGN post my FAQs from now on. Final - I changed the format to look better. 1.3 - From now on, I will NEVER mark another guide final. Too many things are always wrong. Well, I basically reformatted the enitire guide from scratch. It took many hours, so I hope this format looks better than the previous ones. -------------------------==========================--------------------------- Controls -------------------------==========================--------------------------- Menu - Up & Down on D-Pad : Move Highlight Left & Right on D-Pad: Change Selection Triangle : Previous Screen X Button : Choose Selection Circle : Bring up Menu Control screen Start Button : Advance to next screen Racing - Start Button: Pause X Button : Accelerate Square : Brake; Reverse Triangle : Change Views Circle : Handbrake L1 : Regenerate Car L2 : Look behind R1 : Shift Up R2 : Shift Down D-Pad : Steer D-Pad Up : Horn; Highbeams -------------------------==========================--------------------------- Game Type -------------------------==========================--------------------------- One Player ---------- It lets you race in any race mode. Two Players ----------- It lets you race against a friend on Single Race, Hot Pursuit, Tournament, or Knockout. -------------------------==========================--------------------------- Race Modes -------------------------==========================--------------------------- Single Race ----------- It lets you race on any track that you've unlocked. You can choose how many laps you want, direction forward or backward, mirrored on or off, night on or off, and weather. Hot Pursuit ----------- It lets you race against the CPU plus there are cops. Depending how long you run from the cops you can get a warning, fined, or arrested. Cops will try anything to try to stop you with pulling you over, making roadblocks, or laying spikestrips! NOTE: The Ferrari 355 F1 & the Ferrari Marranello aren't available in this mode :(. Tournament ---------- Unlock all tracks (Except Empire City) by completing this mode. These are the points you get for finishing the race: 1st :8 2nd :7 3rd :6 4th :5 5th :4 6th :3 7th :2 8th :1 Come in first after completing the whole tournament to get these cars: Begginer: Jaguar XJR-15 Expert : Mercedes CLK-GTR You must place in the top 3 to proceed with the tournament. If you place 4th or lower you lose the tournament. NOTE: The restart button is not available during tournament mode. Knockout -------- Unlock Empire City and El Nino. As long as you don't come in last for every race you'll do just fine. Beat all opponents during this mode to unlock: Beginner: Empire City Expert : El Nino After each race the last player will be eliminated from Knockout. NOTE: You cannot use the restart button in this mode. Practice -------- Just made for you to practice on tracks you've unlocked. You have the option of: Ghost car - An invisible car to show the exact same route of you're best lap. Also shows your speed that you raced that lap with. Braking Assist -The PS2 automatically slows you down around corners. Traction Assist - Won't make tire marks from burnouts. Best Line - Shows you the fastest way to beat a course when following these (They don't go into shortcuts). Tutor - A man tells you when turns are coming up plus an arrow that will tell you how sharp a turn is. -------------------------==========================--------------------------- Style -------------------------==========================--------------------------- Arcade ------ Easier of the two. Lets you have better control over the road than in Simulation. When you hit cars or other obstacles you just spring back up on the road again. Simulation ---------- Harder of the two. You'll have to set up your car to suit its needs on certain courses. -------------------------==========================--------------------------- Skill Level -------------------------==========================--------------------------- Beginner -------- CPU players are slower than in expert mode. I use this mode to train when I play it. This is usually the first mode you will play in Tournament, Knockout, or Hot Pursuit. Expert ------ CPU players are tough. This mode is basically used for earning cars and tracks or just having fun. CPU players also drive more aggressive and with better driving skills. -------------------------==========================--------------------------- Tracks -------------------------==========================--------------------------- Hometown -------- Length - 3.6 Miles The easiest course in the game. The only hard part of it is the 90 degree turn a little past halfway of the track. Besides that, it's a fast course that I love :). NOTE: Going backwards on this track near the end is a jump that will send you flying. Redrock Ridge ------------- Length - 5.4 Miles Easy once you know what it's like. After the first two main turns,in the beginning is a long curvy straightaway with rocks in the middle. Be careful, if you hit these rocks it could cost you. After that there's a 180 degree turn. After that go ahead for a little bit and you'll come across a place where police hide in Hot Pursuit mode. Then the rest is open desert, then a tunnel, then you go under a train track. Atlantica --------- Length - 4.9 Miles This is a fast course. About half of it is slightly curved. At about halfway through you make a sudden 180 degree turn then another down the way. It's an easy course once you know it. Rocky Pass ---------- Length - 5.5 Miles The name says it all. This course goes up, down, and through mountains. Near the end you'll come to an S-curved road. Power sliding works here to keep an extra 10 secs. or so. At the end you'll come near a town. Country Woods ------------- Length - 5.2 Miles There are about seven 180 degree turns which makes this course very hard. At first it's nothing until you meet your first two very wide curves. After that watch out for a jump that sends you flying into a wall. Then there's five 90 degree turns. Then another four wide 180 degree curves. After that there's a 90 degree turn. Finally, after that, there's just a speedy, curvy road to the finish. Lost Canyons ------------ Length - 6.3 Miles This course IS one of the hardest in this game. There is NO straight away in this course. The easiest parts are the ones found in Redrock Ridge. Other than that everything else is curves, curves, and even more curves! Near the end is a three lane. The best I can help you with that is pick the middle lane. Aquatica -------- Length - 5.3 Miles Easy in the beginning and end, hard in the middle. That's what I have to say about this course. At the beginning you'll come across a 270 degree turn, which isn't hard. Then comes the hard part, going through a series of curves. Throughout the whole middle you'll be going through series of curves. At the end it's a long, easy, slightly curved straight-a-way to the finish. The Summit ---------- Length - 6.4 Miles Once again, the name says it all. This course is at the top of a mountain. This course is slightly hard in the beginning. As the course goes on though it gets tougher. Near halfway you'll come to a long, curvy straight-a-way. After that there's two tight 180 degree turns then two wide 180 degree turns. After that, it's just crazy. Empire City ----------- Length - 4.6 Miles This is my favorite course, and it's a bonus course:). At the beginning are two 180 degree turns then a 270 degree turn. After that you go up a hill then into a two lane straight-a-way. During this straight-a-way, there are pillars that can cost you the race. After that there are three 90 degree turns. Finally, after that there's another one of those long straight-a-ways with pillars. Shortly after, you're done. -------------------------==========================--------------------------- Opponents -------------------------==========================--------------------------- There are 7 opponents which you race against in Tournament, Knockout, Single Race, and Hot Pursuit.

Empire City Enter MCITYZ as a name. -------------------------==========================--------------------------- Tricks/Tips -------------------------==========================--------------------------- Hometown -------- The only trick I know is when you get to the 90 degree turn you can powerslide and still be going well over a 100 MPH. Redrock Ridge ------------- Right before the 180 degree turn, to the right is a plain go on it and curve left and go through the opening onto the road to lose cops and beat opponents. Atlantica --------- Shortly after the race there is a wide turn with two roads. Take the higher one. Follow that road and go off the jump. That wasn't really a shortcut but it's fun to go off of :). The real shortcut is past the Atlantica Civic Center. After that there's a two lane road. Take the right lane. Down the road to the right you should a gap in the wall. Go in there to get ahead of other players. Rocky Pass ---------- I found it helpful to powerslide at the S-curve right before the town and the S-curve near the end of the race. Country Woods ------------- After the five 90 degree turns, to the right is a shortcut that can save you valuable time. Lost Canyons ------------ Right before the three lane highway is a jump that can save time if you don't land into the pillars. Aquatica -------- After you come out of the first tunnel there is a shortcut to the right. Right after you come out there are two possibilities either take a left or right. For me taking the right is better. At the next intersection either way is good. The Summit ---------- (No real shortcuts) Empire City ----------- Almost right at the start to the left is a shortcut. As you come out of the shortcut to the left is another one. Right after the statue is a downhill road. Instead look to the right to see a little ledge. Go on the ledge and follow it. Eventually you will come across a jump. Go off it to land on another ledge then, jump off the second ledge (Extremely useful for losing cops). Finally, at the end of the second group of pillars, to the right is an opening. Go in the opening to go off a jump. -------------------------==========================--------------------------- Gameshark Codes -------------------------==========================--------------------------- All codes were obtained from Gameshark.com Ferrari 550 and Diablo - 800439300101 Jaguar XJR-15 and Mercedes CLK-GTR - 800439320101 Version 2.0 for Diablo - 800439300100 Start on Lap 2 (Knockout) - D011DD300000 8011DD300001 Start on Lap 4 (Tournament) - D011DD300000 8011DD300003 All Regular Levels and Cars - 80125F10FFFF Nazda C2 - 8004392E0101 Empire City and El Nino - 800FA9E0003D -------------------------==========================--------------------------- Copyright -------------------------==========================--------------------------- THIS DOCUMENT COPYRIGHT © CHRIS WASNETSKY 2002-2003.
