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

It's time to get yourself a new car. If you got the Porsche from Baron that's
great, otherwise pick yourself a nice shiny car, and buy all the upgrades you
can. That helps, doesn't it? ;)

Hey, you're really makin' a mark out there.

I got some info' on that police chopper. If they're on you, just duck out
under some cover. They may be fast, but they can't see through objects. Just
make sure they don't see you drivin' into the spot or they'll call in ground
units.

He's the only guy stoppin' you from gettin' into Rockport.

Let's get this done.***

Blacklist Rival #8: Jade Barrett 'Jewels'                           [MW.04.10]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ride: Ford Mustang GT
Strength: Drag Races
Bio: This sweet thing goes by the name Jewels. She's all about big block and
muscle. She's got a lot of mileage under her wheels do don't be tempted to do
anything stupid. She's got some serious power under the hood.

The last part is unlocked; Rockport. Now it's time to get really serious and
get your car back. If you got the car of Earl, I suggest not using it. The
Porsche Cayman S is about as good, and it's a bit of a waste of your money to
tune Earl's ride again. Better wait a bit.

Way to go. You're officially #9 on the Blacklist. Take a good look around...
Rockport City. I hooked up another Safe House for you. It's nearby. Get 
familiar with the location. You might have to get there in a hurry.

Can you believe this? I never knew that Rockport set up was so tight. These
racers have everything planned out. I rolled these streets for a long time and
never knew this was going on. Get out there and see how far this goes.

I'll catch up with you later.***

you guys met in jail.

speed. Don't let her sweet looks fool ya. She'll trash anything she sees,
including you. She's not afraid to ding her ride to put out of commission.

Demolishes with speed? Then they may explain why she uses her brakes. Anyway,
the Porsche is still the car you should use for this one.

***Text

From: Rog
Subject: Tip on roadblocks.

Once your heat gets high enough the police starts blocking the roads to try
and stop you. Each roadblock will have its weak point. Some of the roadblocks
won't cover the entire road, so the best way to go around the car. For the
roadblocks that have the road covered, look for the sawhorses, they're usually
a weak spot.

If you come 'round a corner and find a roadblock, don't forget to use 
Speedbreaker to get a little extra time to maneuver before hittin' the block.
Aim for the cars in the back half, they're lighter weight and provide a better
chance of escape.

At the higher heat levels watch out for spike strips. If it looks like there's
no car blocking part of the road take a close look. You might be getting
tricked into driving over a spike strip which generally ends with you getting
busted. The cops call out the location of the spike strips to make sure the
other cops don't hit 'em, so keep your eyes and ears open.***

***Voice

From: Razor
Subject: It really is you against the world.

Hey sweetheart, it's Razor.

In your push to get to me, you've smoked a lot of drivers that had nothin' to
do with what happened to ya.

Now I know you want me, but hey, I'm gonna tell ya somethin', most of 'em are
willing to do anything it takes to make you pay. You should remember that when
you're rollin' in Rockport***

***Voice

From: Mia
Subject: People aren't taking Razor's bribes.

Hey, it's Mia.

I heard about Razor's bribes. No one's buyin' it. People are startin' to back
off. On top of that, I got a contact with the city that just dropped your
heat. as far as the cops are concerned, you're off their list for now - it
should give you some breathing room.

Get back out there and smoke out that Blacklist. Later.***

***Text

From: Rog
Subject: Earning extra cash.

If you're running a little low on cash, you can always go back to races you
didn't complete when you were working your way up the Blacklist. Bring up the
Blacklist, select on of the defeated rivals, go to the Races page and finish
off any races you haven't completed. You can also re-enter races that you've
already won to earn more money.

Your other option is to sell one of your cars. It's a quick way to get some
money, but remember, those local car dealers are only gonna give you half the
original stock price for your car. Any money you spent tuning it will be gone.
If you decide to sell one of your cars, go to the Safe House car select '
screen, select the car and you can sell it there.***

***Voice

From: Rog
Subject: Kaze's a nut job.

I heard Kaze's puttin' the word out that she wants a run. That girl's a nut
job.

Get on her and take her out.***

Blacklist Rival #6: Hector Domingo 'Ming'                           [MW.04.12]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ride: Lamborghini Gallardo
Strength: Photo Tickets
Bio: This here is Ming. He prides himself on keeping his ride looking stock.
He's fast and shreds radar traps everywhere he can. He's the straight goods.
Word is the goy his ride from some rich cat who talked when he should have 
been listening. Don't take 'm on until you're ready.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Race Wins: 7
Milestones Completed: 4
Bounty: 2,300,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The car of Kaze is a bit better than your Porsche, so if you got that, you
should use it. Otherwise it's best to wait until you beat Ming, and then buy
yourself a Dodge Viper and upgrade that one.
