  • Cut corners in the windy sections of track to drive the fastest line.
  • Don't hit the smoking barrels dropped by the helicopter or they'll explode and send you flying.
  • Different directions of a track offer a completely different experience. Try all 4 variations.
  • Drive unlocked tracks in Free Run to find all of the shortcuts to help you in more difficult events.
  • Earn medals in the Hot Pursuit or Championship event trees to earn bonus NFS points.
  • Hone your driving skills in single player modes, then try some human competition over the internet.
  • If you want to quickly get back into the race after wiping out, reset your car to get back into the center of the road.
  • In Be the Cop mode, if you hit a speeder hard enough, you can bust him with one hit.
  • In Be the Cop mode, learn the track to find the best places to use your available backup.
  • In Be the Cop mode, the look back camera is a great way to quickly find a speeder you've passed.
  • In multiplayer games, sometimes it's better to observe for a race or two to check out the competition before jumping in.
  • Not all alternate paths are shortcuts, but they can be useful in trying to lose the cops.
  • Save your NFS points to buy the cars and tracks that appeal to you most.
  • The fastest car isn't always the best. Pick a car that has handling to suit the track you're racing.
  • The harder the difficulty setting, the more NFS points are earned in a race.
  • Try to run the cops into oncoming traffic to get away.
  • Try to spin out aggressive cops by slamming into their back side panels.
  • Use the hand brake to throw the back end of your car around a tight turn.
  • Using a manual transmission is more difficult, but can yield better results if done properly.
  • Working your way through the event trees is a great way to try out locked cars and tracks.

Driving Tips

PC/GC/XBox

  • Driving manual, pay attention to your road speed when timing shifts, rather than engine speed. Most cars keep accelerating in most gears even after the tachometer is full scale.
  • You can cut corners in some parts of the tracks, as grass, dirt etc doesn't affect the car's speed. It is slightly slipperier though, so watch out.
