There are many new features, some exclusive to the DS version, so lets get started! Oh, and to find a section, hold Control (Ctrl) or Command (Apple) and press F. Type in the three letters to the Right of the section you wish to find (for example, type in RTS for Race Types) -----+++++==========+++++----------+++++==========+++++----- RACE TYPES [RTS] -----+++++==========+++++----------+++++==========+++++----- -------------------- Circuit This is just your normal street race. Be first across the line on that last lap to win. -------------------- Drag Flat out speed in a straight line. Shift at the right point (when the top part of the left bar is green) and youll be shakin in no time! -------------------- Own The Zone Dont screw up (like me)! You have got to get the fastest time in most of the zones to win! To check that you do own a zone, look at the map. If that section is green, its yours! But it wont be if somebody else gets a better time than you. -------------------- Lap Knockout There is no last place. Cause if you are coming last, and the rest cross the line, you are history. And DONT think this only matters on the last lap, cause it matters on EVERY lap. -------------------- Time Trial No opponents. No traffic (unless you choose to have traffic). The only rival that means something to you is that irritating ticking tocking spinning contraption of klap-trap we call time. Beat the clock to win the race! -------------------- Free Run Ahh, nothins much better than a Sunday Drive (unless its Saturday). Just sit (or stand) back and relax (or concentrate So hard your face goes red) so you can drive peacefully (or recklessly). -------------------- -----+++++==========+++++----------+++++==========+++++----- CARS [CAR] -----+++++==========+++++----------+++++==========+++++----- NOTE: The statistics below are for when you first get the car.
