Hint:
Blacklist milestones: Blacklist milestones are things you need to do to rack up your
bounty so you can challenge the next person on the Blacklist. Check out
these so you know what you need to do to rack up the points. Once the
milestones are completed, you must work on racking up the points. The best
way to do this is to cause as much major damage as possible by taking out
police cars, traffic, and crashing through shops (for example the donut
shop and others you will notice in the later levels). Try to rack up as
much bounty and escape before your status has reached level 4. If your
status is already level 4, then choose a different car for awhile until
the status goes down before returning to your favorite car. Once your
status hits level 4, it is harder to get into cool down mode to find
somewhere to hide. Avoid getting caught, as you will lose the bounty you
have racked up during the chase.
If you are having difficulty
achieving some milestones, start a milestone event and go to the docks.
Race around in that area by the boat, and if you are fast enough, the cops
cannot touch you, no matter what level of police attention you have. Also,
they will not make roadblocks or lay down spike strips. This makes it very
easy to draw out a pursuit or completely evade them at any time. Just stay
in that area, and if you want to lose them, make some tight turns and go
down behind the boat to a covered tunnel. If you are fast enough, they
will completely lose you and you can sit there until the Cooldown bar is
full.
When you are on lower heat
levels, try to get as much bounty as possible. This will make it easier
when you need to get over 1 million bounty to challenge the black list
rival.
Hint:
Razor's races: Once you reach Razor in the Blacklist (the very last person),
you must do five races. On the circuit, take as many shortcuts as you can
to win. If you do not do this, he will win by a minute. Also, it is
recommended that you have the best parts in your car (Junkman). Once you
win those five races, you will get your BMW back. However, in order to
keep it you must evade a very long pursuit. You will start with a wanted
level of 6. You will have large SUVs, very fast black C5s, and even
helicopters after you. Once you start the pursuit, swerve off to the left
to hit the bridge-like object, and get most of the cops off your tail.
After hitting that, keep to the right. You will go through a construction
site. Keep to the right to hit yet another bridge-like object, and lose
most of your pursuers. Ahead you will soon see a gas station. Try to hit
the gas tanks. Keep hitting things until about five minutes into the
pursuit. Then, Mia will call and tell you where to go. Get there as fast
as possible.
Hint:
Challenge series: After completing career mode there will still be some cars that
are locked. In order to unlock them you must go to the main menu and
select the "Challenge Series" option. After winning all the
challenges, those cars will be unlocked. Note: At first there will be two
or three challenges unlocked from 69 challenge. In order to access the
locked challenges you must win the available challenges.
Hint:
Quick start: Pay close attention to your tachometer when launching from the
start line. Grab a perfect launch to gain a few precious seconds. When the
needle turns blue drop the clutch and hold on.
If you are using a two wheel
drive vehicle, starting out can be difficult because of your burnout. To
get off the line faster, just as you start press Nitrous until you
are no longer burning out. Your tires will gain traction and get going a
lot faster.
Hint:
Nitrous and grip: Hitting nitrous torques the chassis back, giving the rear tires
immensely more weight under the new acceleration. The end effect is that
you will go straight. If you find your tail sliding out or are about to
spin out of control, hit your nitrous. You will be surprised at how fast
you will get straight again. This is a great trick in combination with
Speedbreaker. With the correct timing, there is no corner you cannot take
at any speed.
Hint:
Nitrous boosting: It is critical when you get past Blacklist Member #6 to use
your nitrous wisely and strategically. Instead of just holding Nitrous
in desperation to get ahead, press and release it when the tachometer is
about to shift to the next gear. Upon the next gear shift, continue
pressing Nitrous until the next upcoming gear shift. This is the
way precious milliseconds are spared.
Hint:
Longer lasting nitrous: When you are racing and want to use boost or nitrous, press it
as fast as you can to have more or have it last longer.
Hint:
Timebreaker: The Timebreaker can be used to improve handling at difficult
turns. It can also be used to blast cars from a roadblock. The Timebreaker
adds mass to the vehicle, thus blasting cop cars easier. Hit cop cars like
this, and if you are lucky you can send them spinning in the air; often
hitting the level boundary in the sky.
Hint:
Pursuit Breakers: If you are driving toward a Pursuit Breaker and there is a
spike strip immediately after it, do not hit the Pursuit Breaker. During
the intermission sequence, the CPU will take control of your car and will
drive through the spike strip, ending the pursuit.
Hint:
Sharp turns: When there is a sharp turn coming up, use your Speed Breaker
when you are a little farther away from the turn. Turn your wheel to the
direction that you are turning, then turn your wheel to the opposite side.
Try to use Speed Breaker only half of while you are taking the turn. If
you use it for the entire turn, you will likely turn around. Once you have
turned, quickly use nitrous. If done correctly, you will turn three times
faster than the CPU cars.
Hint:
Easy money: If you are low on cash, just defeat one of the opponents on the
black-list. You will get two marks to use on several different things. Do
not use them on the Uniques early in the game. Instead, use them on the
middle or the left "Random" choices. They should always come out
to either be a big cash bonus or the opponent's pink slip.
Because you can repeat
Blacklist races you have completed and still earn money for it, do any of
Kaze's tollbooth races. You will get $10,000 for winning. By this point in
the game you should have hopefully obtained the Porsche Cayenne from
Baron. If not, your fastest car should do fine.
Press Down to access
the Blacklist viewer. Then, select a race where you can win a lot of money
(about $8,000 should be enough). After the race is over, press Down
again and select the same race. Note: Tollbooth races are the best choice
to win money.
When you get to about the
tenth Blacklist racer, go to your Blacklist screen. You can move to racers
you have already defeated. You can now race any event you have not raced
yet or race the ones you have defeated again.
Race the same easy race
repeatedly. For example, if you are on Ming or past Ming, go back to him
and race the first sprint on the race list repeatedly. It is worth $12,000
each time you win it, and is very easy if your car is fast.
Hint:
Getting the most money from selling your car: When in your safe house and you sell a car, you will only get
half of its list value. However, there is a loophole that works well for
pink slips that you have won and no longer want. Take your car to the
shop. Go to the parts area. Go into the body kit, spoiler, hood, rims, and
roof air areas and set everything to stock. When you check out, you will
see anywhere from $1,000 to $18,000, depending on what pink slip car you
are stripping. Do not try this with performance parts. The shop charges
you money for downgrading. Once you have stripped your car of all
accessories, leave. Press Start, then go to your safe house. Sell
the car, and you will have made a lot of money on the side. Do this every
time you intend to sell any car.
Hint:
Free maxed out car in career mode: Enable the "Burger King challenge" and "One Stop
Shop marker" codes. Win the Burger King challenge. Buy the Fiat as
your first car. Defeat the Bosses and win their cars. Each time, sell
their car to make a large amount of money. When you get the Lamborghini
Gallardo, go to the One Stop parts shop. You should have a lot of Junkman
Markers and a few Boss Markers (optional) by now. Put the Junkman parts on
the Lamborghini. IT should have almost maxed out acceleration and top
speed with over maximum handling.
Hint:
Easy wins: Pay attention to the destructible objects such as the donut
stands, movie screens, or anything else that you can use to distract or
total a cop. During a race, you can hit those objects and they will they
fall and scatter all over the ground. This causes all the other racers
behind you to crash or slow down, giving you more breathing room and make
it easier to win the race. It works better if they are not on your rear
end.
Use a car that is low
powered, such as a Cobalt or Golf, and only use nitrous power-ups. Do the
races as they come. You will see that the CPU cars are only as tuned as
your car, making it easier to win.
When on a race and are
desperate to be first, use Speedbreaker until the meter goes halfway.
Nothing may happen at first, but you will learn that Speedbreaker makes
the CPU cars go slower, thus making you advance.
Hint:
Easy bounty: Get some cops after you then go to the bus stop. Go on top of
the buses. Make sure that the front of the car is at the edge of the last
bus so that the cops can see you and do not lose you. Keep looking behind
you because the cops will sometimes find a way on top of the buses. When
they do that, just reverse as soon as you see them coming and push them
off. Only one cop car will come on top of the bus. Do this for as long as
desired. When you want to lose them, just reverse, park in the middle of
the buses, and wait until your cool down bar fills. The cops will also
drive crazy and crash into themselves, giving you extra bounty and bring
up your rap sheet rankings on police vehicles immobilized and police
vehicles involved.
When you get to third place
on the Blacklist, more Bounty is required before you challenge the next
racer. The best strategy is to go to number 11 on the Bounty selection
screen. Build up your Bounty by knocking into the side of police cars. Do
not go too fast and keep "lightly" hitting into the sides of the
cops until you reach level 3 or level 4 heat. Notice how quickly your
bounty points mount up and milestones should be unlocked faster by taking
your time. If roadblocks appear, use your nitrous and blast through the
cops. Afterward, slow down and keep "lightly" hitting into the
sides of the cop cars. Accumulating bounty points becomes easier using
this method.
When you have a bounty of
four or five heat, use the following trick to get lots of bounty and/or
some milestones (like the time bounty). First. select
"Blacklist" then "Bounty" and choose the first bounty
location. Quickly bust out of the police station and take a right, making
sure that the police that started the pursuit are still behind you. Keep
going straight past the gas station until you reach the bus station. Enter
the bus station and do a 180 up the right ramp. Drive with a little speed
and jump on top of the buses. Make sure you do not fall off the buses and
try to go to the front-most bus as much forward as possible. The police
will go crazy, smashing into the buses and each other. This is an
excellent way to rack up bounty and some milestones. Occasionally some
cops will get smart and be able to get up the ramp to the buses. When this
happens you can do one of two things. The first is to go in reverse and
smash the cop off the buses. The second, and easier option, is to wait
until the cop gets a little close to you and jump of the bus. As soon as
you hit the ground, press Back to respawn on top of the buses and
the cop will have fallen off. When you want to escape, try hiding in the
middle of the buses. You can then reach cooldown and remain stay hiding in
the middle until it is done.
Get into a chase with the
police and drive towards the bus station. Instead of sitting on top of the
buses, go straight up the ramp on the right and drive towards the end. The
police will not be able to reach you there and you will begin to rack up a
large bounty. When you need to lose them, go backwards and forwards a few
times. They will slowly begin to leave. Once there are only one or two
police cars remaining, reverse into the station just out of sight and wait
for evasion bar to reach the maximum. Then, drive away with as much bounty
as desired. Also, do not worry about looking behind you, as the police
will not go up there if you are at the very end.
In any car in free roam mode,
you will notice a lot of huge eighteen wheelers about. These are a great
opportunity to earn lots of bounty points. When you speed under these
correctly in a chase, they will stop. Any cops chasing you will smash into
them and explode. This is a great method, but requires a lot of practice.
During a pursuit, access the
map. Close to the middle of the map (if you have all the regions
unlocked), there is a space that is very big with A Pursuit Breaker above
it. This is the bus station. Set your GPS for that Pursuit Breaker. When
entering the station, if you are facing the ramps, take the one on the
right and go all the way down. The cops will not come up the ramp with
you. When your bounty reaches the desired amount, back up, but do not fall
off. Use your nitrous and drive towards the gas station on your right.
From there, turn right and hit the doughnut shop, and later the water
tower. There is a very small chance all the cops will survive all three
Pursuit Breakers.
Go to the bus station. Go
through the glass, and driv eup to the ramp to the left or the right. When
you go up the ramp on the left, there will be buses lined up. Stay as
close as you can to the end of the buses. You can do this on both sides.
If you are notified that you have evaded the police, off the buses then go
back on them. They will not go on the buses.
To gain bounty without
getting heat, get into as many pursuits as possible before defeating
Blacklist Rival #13. Your heat level will not go above heat level 2.
Hint:
Easy upgrades: Before you can do anything, you must win the Burger King
Challenge. When you win it, you will unlock all unique parts (also called
Junkman parts). Get any car and put all the parts except performance. Once
you have your car the way you desire, go to the performance shop. Max out
your car by pressing X. Then, put the Junkman parts on. Max out
your car again. Then put on the Junkman parts again. Your car should be
fully upgraded.
Hint:
Junkman parts: If you try to put Junkman parts on you car in career mode, it
will not work. You can only do this at the main menu.
When you can race Taz, try
him. Lose or win, you probably will get the Junkman engine upgrade in
performance.
Hint:
Avoid police: When completing a race, if the police radio in your car you are
driving and you do not want to run from them, press Down and choose
another race. Alternately, you may also jump to your safe house (must be
done before you are seen or pursuit begins). If not, you must drive to it
yourself in cool down mode. To jump to the safe house press Start
and press Right until seen.
Upon reaching level 4 (Most
Wanted) there will be an overwhelming amount of police officers coming
after you. At this level, cops are excellent at boxing you in. If you
cannot move forward, use reverse for two seconds to get away from the
block. Spin your car around and get out of there.
The best way to escape the
cops is to evade long enough to get into cool down mode, than find a
hiding spot. By sticking to the cities you will find lots of cool down
spots to sit and hide your car until the heat is off. This is also a good
way to avoid helicopters which appear if your reach level 4 on your map.
Another good method is to run into the triangles on your map, which mark
places where you can ram into shops and other roadside items to disable
the cops. Highways are good places to get blockades and strike strips
which are challenges for milestones.
For an easy way to get away
from cops at high wanted levels, find the baseball field. Look on the map
for a small triangle towards the top left. Use highways in a circle around
the field to achieve your missions. Once you have gained enough bounty,
city damage, roadblocks, etc., drive through an entrance to the baseball
field, hitting the pursuit breaker on the way in. Make sure that you slow
down some before hitting the breaker so that it does not send you through
the other side of the field. Once you make it in the field, stay there and
wait out the cool down period. The cops should be off of you, and cannot
find you. This works almost all the time to get rid of the cops. Just
driving through random blockers rarely works when you are at wanted levels
4 and 5.
Never respawn your car in a
pursuit, as the police will always catch you.
Once you complete Razor's
(Blacklist #1) five challenge races, an intermission sequence featuring
you, Mia, Razor, and the other Blacklist members will start. Once you get
your car back (BMW M3 GTR), you will go to a heat level 6. Every cop in
all cities will try to bust you. You must evade them for five minutes,
then you will get a call for Mia. Try getting to the golf course. There is
a little building that you can crash into to get rid of the cops. Then,
try to wait it out until you get Mia's call. An icon will then appear on
your map. Quickly get there as soon as possible. Get to the spot, jump the
bridge, and you will be home free.
When heading for a roadblock,
make sure to hit the trunk of a car instead of when the engine is located.
When at level 6, cops and
feds are everywhere. There is a blind spot where the cops cannot get you
at the bus terminal. Normally you would go left or right to take the jump
or drive up the middle to take the shortcut. Instead of using the ramps to
jump, stop at the apex of the ramp, then turn and drive in the middle of
the walkway. Stop there and wait. The cops will not come up the ramp after
you if you are in the middle of the walkway. No matter what the heat
level, the cops will not get you and they will eventually drive away.
Use the following trick to
evade all the police, even at level 5. In the first part of the world
where you start out, just around main street is the bus station. Notice in
cruise mode that there is a second floor part of it, near the edge. In any
chase, just drive to that and go on the second floor. Drive back and forth
until you get the green evading bar to start to get to the cool down bar.
This does take slightly longer to cool down, but it is definitely easier
that driving all over trying to find a place. This is especially useful in
Challenge 40 with the Mclaren, where you have to evade for at least ten
minutes.
When the police try to box
you in after you hit something, turn 90 degrees away from them. Then, use
your nitrous to turn the other 90 degrees, otherwise you might spin out.
By doing this, you will get a head start and will not get busted.
The easiest way to shake off
the police is to exact a PIT maneuver on them. With a lot of speed, aim
for the police car's back left or back right area, near the rear right
wheel or the rear left wheel. Sometimes on Heat levels 1 and 2, this
maneuver (when over 120 mph) will disable their pursuit car immediately.
Spinning the level 5 police cars out of control is a good way to evade
them. As for the "Rhinos", getting to a high speed (over 150
mph), and drive head on at the Rhino. Swerve out of the way at the last
moment. If the helicopter tries to push you over, just keep swerving and
crossing lanes quickly. This should prevent it from knocking you over.
When approaching a roadblock
which you cannot escape, press Speedbraker and ram into the
lightest of the vehicles. When the Speedbraker is activated, your car does
not jump as high and has more maneuverability. If you do not have your
Speedbraker enabled when ramming into police vehicles, you will sometimes
jump on top of the police car and get busted. If you have it on, it
prevents your car from jumping and allows an easy getaway.
When trying to evade the
cops, go to the bus station in Rosewood. Go up the ramp and make sure none
of the cops follow you up. Go to the very end of the buses and watch your
bounty go up as the cops destroy themselves. Watch behind you for any cop
smart enough to find their way up. For a better way to do this and avoid
getting busted, put the front end of the car facing the ramp at the end of
the buses. This trick is useful for making milestone for time and is also
good for racking up bounty. To get through the cooldown and more fun, go
to the walkway beside the ramp and sit there. Watch the cops as they fly
off the ramps and go crazy running into the wall and destroying each other
till the cooldown is over.
Draw the cops to the
surrounding highways of Rosewood (the town you start at) and keep circling
the highways until you have completed your milestones or wish to end the
pursuit. When you pass the baseball stadium, which on the map has two
Pursuit Breakers on it, drive through the first Pursuit Breaker so that
you are in the stadium and the cops have stopped on the other side of the
rubble. You can then drive past the Pursuit Breaker on the other side
(making sure you do not hit it). Make a U-turn and drive straight through
the Pursuit Breaker and cops will not find you. Note: This only works if
you are under a level 4 heat; otherwise the helicopter can see you.
Use the following trick when
you are in a race and become involved in a police pursuit, but do not want
to be after the race. At the end of the race, restart it, then quit to
free roam mode, The cops will not be looking for you, and you will still
get everything you did for the win (bounty, money, and credit).
When you are in a police
chase and they start putting roadblocks down, you can get through them
easier by ramming the police cars near the rear section of the car. The
back is lighter and this will make the car fly easier out of your way.
To hide from cops, and still
get bounty and heat, go to the bus depot and drive up the ramp. Go to the
side where the buses are not found. Go all the way to the end. You should
be facing a gas station. Stay up there, but pay attention to your
evade-busted meter, as you can accidentally evade the pursuit. If the
cool-down meter appears, drive off and look for cops. After you find them,
drive back up there. It is important that you drive all the way to the end
or else the cops will hit you. The cops normally drive off of the side of
the elevated platform.
When in a pursuit, use the
Pursuit Breaker at the gas station. After you have immobilized all the
policemen around you, make a U-turn with the Speed Breaker and go behind
the gas station where the hiding spot is located.
Sit on the very edge of the
hospital or jail and let the cops drive past you. Your heat will go up,
but they cannot catch you. Also, if you want to lose the cops, just fall
off and let your car reset (do not reset it yourself). You will lose them
instantly.
Find a circle or a small
square made up of roads. Keep going around it for about five laps. You can
do it more and make sure the cops see you once in awhile to get a huge
time bounty (over half an hour long). You will never be stopped by a
roadblock or a spike strip, because they will place them on the outside
roads, and not in the circle. To get away, wait until the cops say
"We've lost em", then turn out of the circle and drive away.
Make sure the cops do not see you trying to get away or it will not work
and you will have to return to the circle and repeat the trick.
When you are cruising and
hear the cops on the radio, drive at least to the speed limit. If you see
the cop, pretend to be a normal driver and do not break the law or he will
chase you.
When entering a milestone,
use the map and go to the stadium in the far left corner of the map. Go
through the right side entrance and knock down the sign for the stadium.
The cops cannot follow you because it blocks almost the entire entrance.
Exit out the other side and go under the small parking garage. As soon as
cool down mode, starts there is a hiding location nearby.
When the police are chasing
you, go in to the bus station. Get on top of the buses and turn your car
180 degrees so that you are facing the terminal. When the police chase
after you, hit reverse and fall off the buses. Choose to respawn. You
should now be back on top of the buses with no police. When doing this,
watch the bar at the bottom of the screen. If you respawn while near
busted, you will get busted.
Hint:
Levels of police action: The various levels of police action are as follows.
Level 1: Marked patrol cars
and cruisers. They mostly chase and try to run you off the road. If you
have a quick car you will get away from these easily.
Level 2: Unmarked patrol
cars and cruisers, roadblocks. They mainly try to ram you off the road
and setup roadblocks. Avoid roadblocks by doing an emergency brake lock
U-turn or go through them. You can get through by ramming the cars on
either end of the roadblock or by going through a weak point like the
sawhorse or a gap between the cars. Use Speedbreaker to see the weak
point in the roadblocks and use nitrous to ram straight through. Some
road blocks will not extend all the way across the road -- you can go
through where they haven not placed a car.
Level 3: Marked GTO (Monaro)
police cars, marked 4WDs (Rhinos), rolling road blocks, roadblocks.
These are quicker and you need to use objects to knock down in front of
them to disable them. Lead the chase with these vehicles through the
cities to use knock down points (for example, the giant donut sign,
etc.) to disable the vehicles and end the chase. Then, find somewhere to
hide when you hit cool down mode. "Rhinos" will ram you from
the front. Listen for the call over the police radio. You can usually
see these coming on your map or on the road ahead. Depending on which
car you have, you can get away with ramming them head on. Otherwise,
just use Speedbreaker again to change lanes before they ram you.
Level 4: Unmarked GTO (Monaro)
police cars, helicopters, spike strips. The unmarked GTOs (Monaros)
usually chase in packs and are very difficult to avoid. They will try to
box you in by surrounding the car from the front and back and slamming
the brakes to not give you any room to escape. Avoid this by staying
ahead and using the same tactics used in level 3. For the helicopters,
use tunnels and underground parking lots to escape from-them. Once they
spot you, they can radio the police to your location. Spike strips are
set up usually on main roads and highways. You can see them on the map,
when you see only one vehicle over to left of the road not driving
(i.e., pulled over). Aim for the police car and use nitrous to ram it
and get away. If you hit the spike strip you will get caught.
Level 5: You will not have
to worry about this until you are at Blacklist #3. By then if you are
still running and the level reaches 5, all the best and toughest police
come out. The helicopters get more aggressive, there are more spikes,
and more belts are called in on you. You must also deal with
"cross" cop Corvettes. Cross and his team will apprehend you
at all cost. Like in level 4. the unmarked GTO cars will surround and
box you in and hit the brakes. Corvettes will also try to use rolling
road blocks. If you run into the level 5, make sure you are in your
fastest vehicle. You will need the nitrous.
Hint:
Police radio codes: These codes are commonly used by the police. You should be
aware of them of their meaning to know what to expect.

Hint:
Achieving higher Heat levels: You will start campaign mode only being able to only achieve
Heat levels 1 and 2 (City Police). By defeating certain Blacklist Rivals,
you can then achieve the higher Heat Levels.
Heat level 3 (State
Police): Defeat the Blacklist #13 rival.
Heat level 4 (Undercover
State Troopers): Defeat the Blacklist #9 rival.
Heat level 5 (Federal
Authorities): Defeat the Blacklist #5 rival. After you beat the
Rockport's Most Wanted level, Heat level 5 will then consist of both the
Federal Authorities and Cross' Street Racin' Unit.
Heat level 6 (Undercover
Federal Authorities): On the final challenge (Challenge Series mode) and
on the final level of Campaign Mode. Sgt. Cross joins in the pursuit in
the final level.
Hint:
Lowering Heal levels: To lower the Heat from your car, go to a Stop Shop and go in.
Then, change the color of your car. Leave and do not move. Press Up
to go back in and change the car back to its original color. Your Heat
will be lower by 1. Do this multiple times to reach condition 1 again.
Hint:
Avoid and remove strikes: After getting busted and taking a strike, turn off the system
the next time you get pulled over. Resume the game and you will have no
strikes again.
Hint:
Get strikes off your car: If you get busted in a pursuit, turn off the game before saving
it. When the game is played again the strike will be gone. Note: This will
not work if you can only get one more strike.

Hint:
Recommended car: The best start car is the Cobalt SS. Use that car until you get
the Eclipse. When you win Blacklist races, try for the three "?"
markers. You can get cash or the pink slip car. If you get their car, go
to the safe house and sell it. You can get good money by doing this, and
get unique upgrades after you start getting into the visuals (after you
switch from the Cobalt).
After you defeat Ming, if you
get his Lamborghini it should make progressing further in the game easier.
When you get his Lamborghini, go to the tuner shop and add in any upgrades
needed for performance.
After beating Blacklist #8,
you will have a choice to buy the Lotus Elise, You should by now have
enough money to buy it. If not, you may want sell it to make enough. Once
you have the money, buy that car. It is great at road handling, and is
very fast. This is after you have maxed out its performance to the best it
will let you. Note: The stock top speed and the handling do not look high
at first.
Take the Volkswagen Golf from
Sonny and keep getting unique performance parts. Put them on that car to
max it out before Blacklist #3 or #4. Note: You will still have to buy
ultimate upgrades from the performance shop.
In career mode, the best car
to have is the Clio Sport. If you get this car early enough you should be
able to max it out. If you put a few unique performance parts in there, it
will be the best car to have. Also, if you just go to "My Cars"
and max the Clio, you will be able to compare it to other cars.
Start out with a Lexus and as
time goes on, use the Supra. Drive the Supra winning the Aston Martin DB9.
You should get as much bounty as possible in the beginning. You need 10
million to go against Razor.
After defeating Izzy, get her
Mazda RX-8 and tune it out further, as much as possible. And after awhile
you can make it as fast as it can go. Note: Use Junkman parts -- they work
great.
Hint:
Recommended car tuning: If you are performance tuning your car, try to raise "Top
Speed", "Acceleration", and "Handling" at the
same time, and keep them even as much as possible.
Try these settings for high
speed tracks: Steering +2, Handling +2, Brakes +3, Aerodynamics 0
(middle), Ride Height -3, Turbo +3. Try setting Aerodynamics to -3 for
even more speed but less control. For tighter tracks, set Aerodynamics to
+3 and Turbo to -3. For even better results during a race, pause game play
switch between high speed and tighter track settings on the tuning screen
to maximize performance.
Use the following trick when
trying to defeata Blacklist member past #5. All you need is a fully
modified Corvette (Webster's will do). Go to the tuning section at the
start menu and set the following options: Steering -2, Handling middle,
Brakes +3, Ride Height -3, Aerodynamics +2, Nitrous -1, and Supercharger
+2 or 3. After you have completed this, take it to the highway and test it
out. It is possible to reach 365 km/h. Note: You can change the steering,
brakes, and handling to suit your driving style.
Hint:
Blacklist cars: If you win the pinkslips to a Blacklist car, you may want to
use the Blacklist car as your own and make the necessary upgrades to
performance, as most of the upgrades will have been already made by the
Blacklist owner. You do not need to spend too much money to increase the
performance, handling, etc. Sometimes these cars will have upgrades that
have not been unlocked yet, but most of these are usually visual. Only do
this if the vehicle you have won has better attributes than the one you
are currently driving in its standard mode. You can check this out in the
car shop. Keep about three to five good quick cars in your safehouse.
Hint:
Accelerate faster: Press A + Right Analog-stick Forward to
accelerate even faster than normal.
Hint:
Car test: If you are unsure which car is the best to use when upgraded,
you can upgrade all the cars that are unlocked for free in the main
menu.-Go to "My Cars", choose a car that is available, and
upgrade it with the parts that are available. By doing this, you will not
waste all your money in career mode.
Hint:
Better car performance: After getting your car upgraded with engines, suspension,
brakes, etc., press Start and go to "Performance Tuning".
For better handling for the Lamborghini, Porsche, Corvette, and Viper, set
the "Height" of you car to "-1". If you need more
gripping power either take the "Height" to "-2" or set
the "Aerodynamics" to "+1". If you go overboard with
the performance tuning options (anything past "+3" or
"-3"), the car will actually handle worse.
Go to "My Cars".
Choose one of your cars and go to "Performance". Set
"Ultimate Parts" on. If you won the Extra Race, put in Junkman
Parts.
Hint:
Regaining control: When approaching a corner at top speed, quickly assess whether
or not you can get through it cleanly as fast as possible and without
touching the inside or outside barriers. If you find yourself drifting (or
worse, careening out of control) toward a barrier, turn on your
Speedbreaker in order to regain control via increased handling and
traction. During this period of slowed time, straighten out your car and
put it back into an ideal racing line. Once you are straight and driving
in the correct direction, quickly turn off Speedbreaker and hit the
Nitrous hard to rip out of the remainder of the corner.
Hint:
Respawning: If you crash your car do not force it to respawn. Instead, let
the game reset your car. You will then be invulnerable and able to get
away from the cops if you are in a very tight spot.
Hint:
Avoiding SUVs: Have a good car and a good Nitro booster. Whenever you see an
SUV coming at you, hit your nitrous and ram him head on. He should fly
backward and explode, giving you $10,000.
