Walkthrough * ****************** This walkthrough will be more indepth as I take the time to explain it better when I play through game again. Game modes: Circuit: Just like any other racing game. You go around in a loop and have laps. Sprint: First one to the finish line wins. Drift: Slide around corners and the winner is the one with most drift points. Drag: Test your shifting skills in this 1mil stretch. Lap Knockout: Last person across each lap gets knocked out. Tournament: Can be any of the above mentioned game modes. There are multiple races and the winner is one with most points. 1st* 8points 2nd* 6points 3rd* 4points 4th* 2points ***************** *Initiation race* ***************** Once the game starts you have to race against 3 opponents to prove you are worthy of the illegal street racing faction. Game mode: Circuit Track: Olympic Square Laps: 2 Opponents: Lola : Celica Brian: Eclipse Brett: Supra Shortcuts: There are shortcuts in many of the turns. There is also one when you go through the subway tunnel. After the fork in the road, there is a shortcut right before the turn under the bridge, it is right before a big sign. Tips: Just all out race on this one. No real strategy. If you don't win on this I suggest you get a new game =) Aftermath: Once you beat this you will be able to select the car of your choice. I suggest the miata since it has excellent handling. Any one of the cars is fine. I have beaten the underground mode several times using a different starter each time, and they are equally good. **************************** *1/111 Jose's got your back* **************************** Game mode: Circuit Track: Olympic Square Laps: 2 Opponents: Jose : Golf GTI Wart : 206 Nesto: Neon Shortcuts: Same as above Tips: Same as above Aftermath: No rewards, but you can customize that stock car you picked.

Try and be ahead of the pack but still near them a bit. The AI has the ability to catch up to you at 400mph (or so it seems). Once they get near you, ram them or fish tail them into the walls or traffic. On the last bit of stretch use nitro if you really have to. It is best to just keep nitro at stock. The other cars will not have nitro if you do not have it equipped. On the harder levels around level 90 and especially 103, downgrade everything to level 2 and put nitro to stock. This makes it so they can not use nitro either since they try and keep it fair. Just don't forget to put them back on for the last 2 races, 111 and 112. Sprint: Just try and stay in front entire time. I suggest going as fast as possible and using nitro at the very end. Same strategy of ramming into walls. Drag: If you really can't get it to perfect shift in the beginning, just rev until you redline. You will get a headstart if your car is good enough. Try and use NOS between 3*4th gears so you can switch gears sooner. This insures you do not blow out your engine at the last gear using nitro. Drift: Just try and get your back tires on the dashed lines on the outside. This gives you bonus points and will help you win. Lap Knockout: Try and see which car is the fastest opponent. Try and knock that car out first. Then knock out the 2nd fastest and therefore you only have to beat the slowest car in the end. Ramming into traffic and walls is the best way to make them delayed. Tournament: Even though you may lose one race or so, that does not mean you lose the tournament. Just try and have the most points and make sure to restart a certain race if you don't think you will win the tournament. Always take shortcuts unless of course the shortcut is longer or makes you crash into walls often. Be agressive and push into traffic and walls. Detuning your cars will make the A.I. detune also and therefore make the race easier. Faster you go, the harder your going to crash when you hit something. ******************************************************************************* *IX.
