Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 - Strategy Guide (Page 03)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 - Strategy Guide (Page 03).

Take control of the Porsche Carrera GT and take it for a spin around
Fall Winds. To win record a lap of under three minutes and thrity
seconds. You should be familair with the car and course by now. All
you need to watch out for are the other drivers! Try drifting for a
quick lap here!

-----------------------
25. Muscle Car Knockout
-----------------------

Take the Dodge Viper for a six round race knockout. Finishing first
will unlock event 28 and the Desert Heat 2 course. The saying 'American
Muscle' is true. The Viper is a fast car but it handles awfully. To get
around this try using the handbrake and other road users to go around
corners quicker.

---------------------------
26. Point-To-Point Knockout
---------------------------

This Point-To-Point course is set at Scenic Drive where you will be
driving the fastest cars around. You will unlock event 29 and the
Porsche Carrera if you win. Winning this nets you the Carrera GT one
of my favourite cars the game has to offer.

-------------------------------
27. Lamborghini Past vs Present
-------------------------------

You will be racing in the Lamborghini Murcielago. Your opponents will
be seven Lamborghini Diablo's. A win here will unlock event 29 and the
Rocky Canyons. Performance wise you have a slight advantage but you
don't notice it at all really. Use your knowledge to help you here and
smoke the competiton!

--------------------------------------
28. McLaren F1 Invitational Tournament
--------------------------------------

A seven race tournament versus seven McLaren F1 drivers. Sounds like
a recipe for disaster.....but it isn't. By winning here you will unlock
event 30 and the Tropical Circuit 2 course. I enjoyed this one,the
pure sense of speed this game has to offer really shines when you're
racing in the MacLaren F1!

--------------------------------------
29. Mercedes CLK GTR Invitational Race
--------------------------------------

This six lap race at Island Outskirts is one of the hardest in the
game. You will be racing against six other Mercedes CLK GTR's. If you
win here you'll unlock event 30 and the Tropical Circuit course. These
cars handle well so you should try not to crash that much, if you
make six clean laps you should win.

------------------------
30. McLaren F1 Endurance
------------------------

Ten laps at Palm City Island using the McLaren F1. If you win you will
unlock the bonus event (31) and will be crowned World Champion! I
absolutely HATED this one! Ten laps was just to much and memories of
those endurance races from GT3 came flooding back. Still, the McLaren is
an enjoyable car to race!

-----------------------------------
31. Ferrari F50 Endurance Challenge
-----------------------------------
You are evenly matched in this race so be careful. Take the high route
each time the highway splits because its slightly quicker. Not much
more to say here. Might take you a few tries but in general this
shouldn't cause to many problems!

|- Information -|
+---------------+

If you press the square button when a track or car is selected you will
hear a voice which will give you some helpful information and hints
about the car/track. If you do this to a car you can get a 3D view of
it by moving the analog stick.

+-------------------------+
|- Making Of Documentary -|
+-------------------------+

In the 'credits' section under the options menu there is a 'making of
Need For Speed' documentary which is quite interesting.

+---------------+
|- Easy Points -|
+---------------+

To obtain lots of points really easily all you have to do is press the
L2 button (3D rotation) when the back wheels of your car are on the
start/finish line. This does not work on the last lap. Your front
wheels must be over the line and you must be travelling quite fast.
This trick will get you 150,000+ points each time. Travelling at 100MPH
or more usually works, the faster you go the more points you get.

+---------------+
|- Plane Trick -|
+---------------+

Another way of accumulating NFS Points quick is by doing this trick:
Balance yourself over the edge of the plane so your car has both front
and back wheels off the ground. Wait as long as you like and then tap
the accelerator to get back to the ground. When all wheels of the car
are off the ground it will count as a jump so you will get points. The
only problem with this trick is that you don't know when you are getting
points. You could be waiting there an hour and get nothing. Use the
360 view cam to make sure all wheels are off the ground. It is possible
to get over 1,000,000 Points by doing this. The plane can be found on
the Outback course.
