OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast

Published by SEGA Eurpoe Ltd.
Developed by Sumo Digital Ltd.
Released 2006
Genre Racing

Description :

Like its predecessors, OutRun 2006 is an old-school arcade racer, which means that your cars don't have realistic physics, don't get damaged and have insanely fast speed.

Since this title is officially licensed by Ferrari, you drive with 15 original models from the DINO 246 GTS over the F430 to the all-new Enzo Ferrari. The heart of the game is the Coast 2 Coast mode in which you on race against up to 5 AI players on 15 US themed tracks. In addition you have to impress different girlfriends. She tells you what she wants to see (a hard slide around a curve or a close take-over for example) and you have to perform it to win her heart.

There are 3 other game modes available in singleplayer: OutRun, Time Attack and OutRun2SP. In OutRun2SP you get access to 15 arcade tracks from the original OutRun 2. In OutRun however you need to drive your girlfriend through various checkpoints to the goal before the timer hits zero. In Time Attack you just have to beat the highscore of the current track. You can either race against the clock or against ghost cars.

In every mode you get OutRun miles after the race. These are the currency of the game and are needed to unlock new cars, upgrades and additional music-stations.

If you feel alone, even with your virtual girlfriend in the car, you can race online against 5 other players.

Xpand Rally

Published by Zeta Multimedia S.A
Developed by Techland
Released 2004
Genre Racing

Description :

Xpand Rally puts you behind the wheel of a tuned-up WRC machine in over seventy races in five sceneries, using a modified version of the Chrome engine with fully movable obstacles, dynamic day time and weather changes, full collisions simulation and a complex car damage system. The driver can even sustain leg injuries and concussions. There is much more freedom than in other rally games. In the freestyle mode, for example, there are no invisible borders, you can compete off-road with no restrictions to tracks.

Aside from the traditional race, you can build-up a rally career, similar to NFS Underground where you work your way up as a rookie. You need to spend your money wisely to take care off repairs and tune your car with over 800 parts. Xpand Rally does not have an official rally license, but includes 35 sports cars over 8 divisions, with some funky models such as tiny coopers or terrain vehicles. There are two driving modes: arcade and simulation with different damage systems and steering models.

ChromEd, a full game editor loaded with tutorial and templates, has been attached to the game. You can edit existing tracks or create new ones and even import your own car designs straight from 3D Studio MAX.

Trivia :

• For a rather low-budget title, the game uses extensive copy protection: an installation serial, an activation code and additional protection with StarForce 3.04.049.001.

• On November 26, 2004, a set of custom tracks was released. They were designed by game modders and approved by the Techland compatibility test. The set includes a dirty track and two destruction derby style tracks.

• On December 22, 2004, a complete ChromEd user guide was published. It contains complete information on level creation philosophy and specific editor tools. The tutorial is supplemented with a video material that shows the subsequent steps of track creation with comments from one of the Xpand Rally tracks developer.

Need For Speed : Carbon

Published by EA
Developed by EA Black Box
Released 2006
Genre Racing

Description :

The 2006 game in the Need for Speed series is an evolution of the gameplay introduced in the previous games. The career mode offers complete freedom in a city through a story mode supported by FMV cutscenes, as featured in NFS Most Wanted, but now also set in the Carbon Canyon, where racers duel for territory in the city below. There still are many police pursuits. At the same time, the focus on tuning and sculpting you car remains, as introduced in NFS Underground. As you win money with races, you can visit garages and car lots to make improvements to your vehicle.

Enhancements are still unlocked gradually, but the cars have now been divided over different tiers. There are about 40 cars to unlock. Many of them have featured in previous installments, but there is a new selection and this year's edition introduces powerful muscle cars such as the Ford Mustang and Dodge Charger. Other features include the possibility to build your own crew, more detailed sculpting features, drifting races (introduced in NFS:U and replaced by drag races in NFS:MW) and the new car classes. The PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 versions offer online multiplayer, missing from the PS2, GC and Xbox releases. Up to eight players can race together, in the Pursuit Tag or Pursuit Knockout modes, with a few variations. Pursuit Tag is a race of one civilian car against cop cars. To become the civilian car, you have to tag it and then try to fend off the cops as long as possible until you are tagged again by other players. In Pursuit Knockout everyone starts as a civilian car, but the last one at the end of the first lap becomes a cop and needs to cause as much damage as possible to the other speeders. Another mode allows you to drive cooperatively (up to four players) in a single race.

The city and the surroundings in the career mode have been divided into different territories, controlled by gangs. You are either invited or challenged to race in the sections and claim them as your own. To do so, you have to impress the gang leader by winning races until he challenges you for a duel - first in the city, then over the narrow roads of Carbon Canyon. Scores are based on proximity. You need to follow the boss in the first race, and he is in pursuit in the second one. There are 4 boss duels in total.

The crew feature, with room for up to 6 cars, allows you to assign three roles to racers: drafters, scouts and blockers. These are supporting characters you can hire to help you win races. Drafters leave behind a coloured trail that makes it easier to find the way, scouts discover hidden shortcuts, and blockers try to cause mayhem to slow your opponents down. If you hire a scout, you get access to the new AutoSculpt feature. It enables you to modify the height of every part of your car through sliders, solely visual effect. You can also buy full body kits.

Extra money:
Have a saved game file from Need for Speed: Most Wanted on your hard drive for a $10,000 bonus when you start career mode.

Hint: Easier Speedtrap races:
Activate your Blocker/Brawler before the race. While racing and you are coming up to a speed trap, stop your Blocker/Brawler. This will crash the other car(s), and drastically slow down their time. Remember that the peak Blocker/Brawler moment is just before the speed trap.

Hint: Easy wins:
In races where crew members are used, used a scout (Yumi if possible). If you do not win the race, your scout will.

When in Career mode, choose the Exotic class. When you get to the Stacked Deck level, get a Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Once this happens, Neville, Colin, and Nikki will still have exotic cars. Choose one of them and do any race where you can use your wingman. You should have easy win.

Hint: Easy money:
Once you have completed career mode, set Samson as your wingman with Neville also in your crew. You can repeat any races you have already completed in which a wingman is used and recieve $750 for each race completed instead of the $500 without. This can also be used on first time races for maximum cash output.

Hint: Collectors edition cars:
Complete the following events in the Challenge Series to unlock the corresponding car.

Aston Martin DB9 (Exotic): Defeat Wolf in Boss Battle mode.

Dodge Charger RT Classic (Muscle): Defeat the 21st Muscle Car Gang.

Jaguar XK 2007 (Exotic): Complete all three Turf War races.

Mazda RX7 (Tuner): Defeat Kenji in Boss Battle mode.

Nissan 240SX (Tuner): Complete all three Checkpoint challenges.

Hint: Eleanor (Gone In 60 Seconds) custom car:
This is the exact car from Gone In 60 Seconds. Start a Muscle Car Career mode. After you conquer the first three territories (Kempton, Downtown, and Fortuna), a new territory is unlocked. In this territory, win two races in the area to the far left (Silverton) to unlock the "67' Shelby GT 500". After you obtain the car for $108,000, return to your safe house and select "Customization". Then, choose "Aftermarket".

The easiest way to break 1 million in Career mode is to start a Muscle career. Race two races in order to unlock the car lot. Then, go to your challenge series and unlock the Nissan 240 (last set of checkpoint challenges). Buy the car in your career. It is possible to complete the entire game with this car. It is important to start as a muscle career so that you unlock Sampson first. Race the entire game with Sampson set as active and Neville in your crew. You can break 1 million with about ten races left over.

Hint: Avoid flipping:
When you are about to flip, hit the nitrous. It will stabilize your car and you will not flip.

Hint: Free performance parts:
Go into "My Crew" then choose a crew member. Select the "View Car" option. Then, customize it. You can paint it whatever color desired, and because your crew members cars are not tuned you can buy them performance parts for free.

Need For Speed : Most Wanted

Published by EA, Inc.
Developed by EA Canada
Released 2005
Genre Racing

Description :

Need for Speed Most Wanted is in fact a cross between the Underground and the Hot Pursuit spin-offs. The player must gain notoriety by racing in the streets and attracting the attention of the cops in order to ascend in the Black List of illegal racers. In the end he must face no.1, Razor who tricked him out of his own car and used it to get to the top.

Many racing modes are carried on from NFSU2 with the addition of "Milestones", special events where the driver must evade capture and/or disable police cars by bringing down Pursuit Breakers, specially marked buildings such as gas stations and water towers. For each one of the 15 Blacklisted opponents, the player must win a specific number of events from each of the two main types and gain enough notoriety in the process. The player can invest bet money to buy new cars or improve his existing one's looks and performance so that he remains competitive.

In Most Wanted, Josie Maran replaces Brooke Burke as the racer girl. The plot is furthered through use of FMV video with live actors and digital sets, which has been heavily enhanced so that it looks quite real.

Trivia :

• When an issue with stuttering sound in the Windows version was reported on the EA forums, the official statement was that EA had no time and resources to work on a patch for it. This was less than 5 months after the release.
• There is an unofficial patch on various fansites that enables all cars and races which are normally available only in NFS: Most Wanted Black Edition.
• The EA Belgium office planned a little stunt on 24th November 2005, the launch day. They intended to give away free copies in the morning's traffic bottlenecks, but that didn't go through eventually.

All upgrades:
After completing the game, start a new file. Load the new file after the introduction sequence. Save the game. Without shutting down the game, load the file that you won the game with and go into the car selection screen. Select a car as usual, then save the game. Again, without shutting down the game, load the new file. All Performance, Visual and Parts upgrades will be unlocked in that game. All the Blacklist racers in the new file will have the stamp across them that reads "Defeated". You can still race them and get through the game normally, but you must drive to the Blacklist challenge location to race Sonny, Taz, Vic, etc. You can no longer initiate the blacklist races from the menu.

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: Better times:
On Heritage and Omega, to get through the curves do no use the shortcuts. It will only slow you down. Just take the turns and it will save you some time. It can help you build up some speed for the rest of the track.

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: 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. 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: 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. 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: 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: 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: 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., 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.

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.

Hint: Listen to radio stations at any time:
If you have sufficient hard drive space, you can listen to the radio stations at any desired time. Insert the "Play" disc then click on "My Computer" and click on your CD drive. Enter the "Audio" folder to access a group of .WAV and .MP3 files. You can listen to any mission, radio station, or event. Copy them to your hard drive for smoother playback. You can hear everything (pedestrians, crashes, horns, etc) with a file on your hard drive in the "audio" folder in the game directory. There is a file called "sfx.raw" that can be opened in a .WAV file editor. Change the sampling rate to a lower setting and there will be a very long audio clip of everything there is to be heard in the game.

Hint: Custom music:
Copy some of your favorite MP3 files into the "mp3" folder in the game folder. Start the game and you will have a new radio station titled "mp3 player". Choose it to hear your own selections.

Hint: Police bribe in hideout:
Get into any police vehicle and enter vigilante mode. After killing enough criminals (about ten to fifteen), your beeper will tell you that you have a police bribe in your hideout. Note: This works best if you use the police truck behind the police station on Staunton Island.

Hint: Unlimited ammunition:
Hold the pistol and enable the gunsgunsguns repeatedly. You will eventually have unlimited ammunition for any gun that you have to reload. If you are wasted or busted, the code must be repeated.

Hint: Easy Hidden Packages:
Drive into the water and keep enabling the gesundheit code to stay alive. Keep repeating this until your beeper stops displaying information. You will now have 100 Hidden Packages.

Hint: Free car repair:
Park your car in a garage and watch the doors go up and down. You can save the game if desired, but is not necessary for the free repair. Note: This only works when you are not in a mission.

Hint: Stop car from exploding from damage:
When in a vehicle that has been hit many times, the car will smoke, eventually catches fire, and explodes. If you enable the gesundheit code while in the car, it will repair the engine damage. The body work will still look damaged. You can even repair the car once it is on fire as long as you are quick enough. To do this quicker, pause the game before inputting the code. This trick is especially useful on the Bait mission, as the police will never be able to destroy you.

Hint: Fly the Dodo:
While on the runway of the airport in Shoreside Vale, you can get a dodo in one of the hangars. The easiest one is near the helicopter pad in the back of the airport. Bring it on the runway. Once there, back it up all the way to the end so that it is facing Staunton Island. Hold [Down] + X. Note: Look toward the side view of the plane to get a better view before it scratches the ground and crashes. While accelerating, immediately before the plane's nose sparks the ground is going its full speed, release every thing and the plane it will take off on its own. Once in the air, you are now able to use the cursor keys to steer the plane. Tap the keys and do not hold them for a safer flight. Keep the plane closer to the ground as it keeps trying to go up. However, every once in a while let it climb then do a nose dive to get more speed.

Hint: S.A.M. mission: Easy completion:
Once the plane is down, the Columbian Cartel arrives and starts shooting you. Leave the boat and kill the first man. No others can see you. Then, move over to the ramp. Move up slowly until you see the first man's head. Shoot him with the sniper rifle, and continue up the ramp slowly. Soon, only your head will peek over the side. Do not go any further. You can snipe out everybody without them attacking. Note: There may be someone behind the car. Get the packages then get into the speeder and go back to the place where you got the first boat. Do not get out. Somewhere ahead of you is a grass hill leading to a wall. Most of this hill is not solid and you can drive through it. You will fall into blue hell and land in the middle of an intersection. By doing this, you do not have to risk drowning.

Hint: Turismo mission: Easy completion:
As soon as the race starts, get out of your car, and enable the "Destroy all cars" code. This should destroy every car, including the opposing racers. Run around and wait for a car, steal it, then run through the checkpoints to win.

Hint: Fast taxi customer:
After car jacking any taxi, press [Caps Lock] to become a cab driver. At this point the person driving the cab that was just jacked will become a pedestrian looking to catch a cab. This will make your first passenger the old taxi driver.

Police suicides:
At any island, get a car and drive as close as you can to a cliff. Get out and get behind the car. Run it into the water. Jump on top of the car after it explodes and get your wanted level up to any desired level. The cops will jump into the water in an attempt to get to you. Cars will also fly off the cliff and kill themselves.

Midnight Club II

Published by Rockstar Games, Inc.
Developed by Angel Studios
Released 2003
Genre Action, Racing

Description :

On the streets at night, anything can happen. And if you have a car that can race the distance, there's money involved too.

This is the premise behind Midnight Club II, in which you must work your way up the ranks of illegal street racing by challenging and defeating the best over three cities.

Each race occurs in a different area of the city, and all you have to do to get started is flash your lights at the person you wish to drag. Then follow the map for the track route and go hell for leather. Further along, shortcuts will also come into play, giving you an advantage in getting to the finish first.

Each race you win racks up cash, which goes towards new and much faster cars for the more difficult challenges. You'll also get the chance to go two wheels with a selection of highly mobile bikes.

Multiplayer modes include the usual all-on-all race mode, and capture the flag, in which you must race to the opposing flag somewhere in the city and return it to your destination.

Hint: Losing the police:
When side by side with a police car, find a tree or pole ahead that is on the side nearest to the police car. Push the police car into the tree or pole.

When a police car is directly behind you, find a tree or pole ahead. Drive directly toward it and when near, take a sharp turn away from it. The police car will smash into the tree or pole.

Hint: Two-wheel driving:
This move is much more effective if you pop up on the wheels early, then hold the position (hold [Weight Transfer]) and steer your car. If you wait until you are about to hit someone, it will not be as easy to see where you should go.

Hint: Burnouts:
With some of the cars, you can charge up the burnout faster by revving up the engine, then pressing [Handbrake]. It depends on the car, but some will work better this way.

Hint: Spin-out competitors:
As you approach another car from behind, try to line up the front half of your car with the back end of the other car. As you touch the back end, turn sharply toward the other car. If done correctly, you can make them swerve into a wall or even do a 180 and be left behind in the dust.

Hint: Motorcycle turns:
If you are making a sharp turn, try to make your wheels hit the wall/building. If you use the handbrake or regular brake, you can turn the bike sideways and let your wheels hit instead of hitting it head-on. This allows you to stay on the bike and keep going. You can also still steer while popping a wheelie. After you pull back, keep holding [Weight Transfer] (but stop pulling back) and use the steering to move while gaining speed. The view is a little difficult, but you can get a lot of speed this way.

Hint: Tokyo: Big jump:
Select cruise mode and follow your way through the glass rectangle about 50 meters in front of you. Drive straight until you get to the road up to the freeway. Go up onto the freeway and stay on the right-hand side. Take the first turnoff on the right. Follow that until it goes back down on the street. You should be next to a large river. Follow that river road until you reach a massive jump. You can use it and land on the other side of the river. Note: It is best to get a run up from down that small street with one of the best cars with some nitro.

Hint: Easy wins in Capture The Flag mode:
Get the item, stop, and allow one of your opponents to get the flag. Then, go all the way to the finish line and stay there. When your opponent is racing down to the finish line, quickly use stop on his or her car. While stuck there, ram into their car, get the flag, and bring it to the finish line. Note: This trick may not work if not executed properly. Also. to avoid your opponent's attacks, get a shield or stealth.

Hint: Easy wins in Circuit races:
Enable the "Nitrous" and "Guns and rockets" codes. Use a motorcycle of your choice. At the beginning of the race, use the "Burnout" strategy and face a car in front of you. You can either use the machine gun to blow it up or use the rockets to move them out of your way. If they get past you in any part of the race, fire the machine gun and steer and accelerate and fire rockets to knock them off course.

Hint: Last Man Standing, The Final Race:
After you have completed the game and have become the Tokyo champion, another message appears. It reads "The World Champion Of Illegal Street Racing". However, you are not really the champion until you defeta Shave. He has all Velocis and they have five nitros. The best way to defeat him is to enable the "All cars" code. Red and yellow Velocis will attempt to run you off the road.

Hint: Repair damage and restore nitro:
When cruising in in career mode with damage and no nitro, find a racer and flash your lights at him. Do not follow him. Instead, either stay where you are or drive in the opposite direction. Ignore the countdown. Once out of time, your damage and nitro will be as if you just started the level.

Genre Racing/Driving

Description :

The Need for Speed series returns, this time reverting back to the 'chase' arcade experience instead of a racing simulation. Top speed racing is the name of the game, where you must outchase not just the opposing drivers, but the cops.

Choose from a selection of today's (and yesterday's) top sports cars, including the Ferrari F50, Porsche 911 and a range from the likes of Ford, Corvette, BMW, Lotus, Mercedes, Aston Martin, the McLaren F1 and a lot more.

The competitive race mode allows you to take on other drivers and beat them to the line. A selection of tracks allows you to not only dodge incoming traffic, but perform deadly jumps and stunts to receive points. These points, combined with the points recieved from your finishing position, can unlock new cars and tracks.

The Hot Pursuit mode combines all the major elements of the competitive mode with the chance to out run the cops. They will throw everything at you to try and stop you, including running you off the road, setting up road blocks and unleashing an attack helicopter equiped with missiles. Three busts by the cops ends the race.

Grand Theft Auto : Vice City

Published by Rockstar Games, Inc.
Developed by Rockstar North Ltd.
Released 2003
Genre Action, Racing/Driving

Description :

You play as Tommy Vercetti,a gangster who just got off a fifteen year prison sentence for not squealing on your friends. Because you didn't rat out your "family", you're sent to work with Sonny Forelli, your previous boss. Sonny gives you an easy drug job, but everything goes wrong, and Tommy loses everything. Upon returning to Sonny, he gets mad and wants his money back. Unfortunately, everybody in ViceCity, from gangsters and Cubans to bikers and politicians are in his way, and it's up to Tommy to clear a path.

GTA:VC takes everything from GTAIII and builds upon it. There are new cars in the game, reminiscent of cars from the 80s. Some cars are earlier versions of the vehicles you drove in GTAIII. New to VC is the ability to drive motorcycles. You can drive a variety of two-wheeled vehicles, from huge Harley-esque bikes to dirt bikes to your standard motorcycle.

Flying is also a bigger part of VC. You can now fly helicopters, traveling from area to area, landing on helipads on top of towering skyscrapers.

Weapons are, more or less, the same as in GTAIII, but the addition of melee weapons spices it up a little. You can use riot batons, crowbars, and a few others.
