- Yo listen up little shrimps.......I wrote this FAQ, that means it's
  all me. So I don't want none of you little punk asses taking what I
  did and putting it up on your sites taking my credit. Just do us all
  a favor and e-mail me to get my permission to put it up on your site
  or whatever and it'll all be smooth sailing.

- Well I'm gonna do this FAQ for all the millions and millions of
  street racers out there. This game is rated T for langauge and some
  violence so with that I figured I'll go along with the game and use
  just a few cuss words. Just giving you guys the heads up. Welp lets
  get down to the basics little shrimps.

- Just to let people know....even though this walkthrough was also posted
  into the X-Box version (which I didn't realise til like 5 people e-mailed me
  about fixing the controls to the X-Box style controller) this is where it all
  began for MC2. I was the first to put up a walkthrough for MC2 when it
  first came out for the PS2, and now I've finally sat down and finished this
  thing up for all my loyal fans. You people wanted it to end, well here's the
  finale of it. I thank all of you for your patience.

- Personal Note -

- To be honest after I finally beat this game, despite the fact that it pissed
  me off constantly, I have to admit it's still an exrtemely fun game. This is
  by far the pinnacle of all racing games out there. No NASCAR game could
  compare to this game. Hell NASCAR doesn't have crap on this game. I'd
  like to see Dale Earnhardt Jr. or Jeff Gordon (don't give me any looks.....the
  only reason I know about these NASCAR racers is because I live in a very
  redneck area, and that's all they talk about around here. They call me city
  boy too much too and give me these really eery looks) try this stuff
  instead of turning left all the time. This is what racing is really meant to be
  and it what it truely is. I'll leave the NASCAR to the rednecks......gimme
  some illegal street racing any day.

1) Controls

- Can't get around if you don't know how to move your car little shrimp
  so here's Joker to tell you the basics of getting around.

The left analog stick is your means of putting you in the direction you
want to go.
The X button is your gas. Don't get crazy using it. Sometimes you'll
need to let off of it to make a turn or to avoid that truck that's
pulling out in front of you.
Square is your brake. Naturally this is what stops you. Square also
lets you move in reverse.
The circle button or the R1 button is your hand brake. This makes you
come to a stop alot faster, or make tight turns.
The Up button on the D-Pad brings up the overhead map
The Left button on the D-Pad moves to the previous song on the song
list
The Right button on the D-Pad moves to the next song on the song list
The Down button puts up the minimap.
The L2 button gives you a look behind you. Use this to see if any punk
racers are trying to sneak up on you. (correction on this control was
submitted by the all knowing Amit! Bow before his might!!!!!)
L3 or pushing the left analog stick in brings up the high beams. Use
this to challenge other racers when driving around.

- There you have it. All the basic controls you'll need to climb your
  way to the top.


2) Unlocked Controls

- As time goes by in Career Mode you'll unlock new controls to use.
  Here's the lowdown on all the controls.

- Nitros - This is your big boost here. Use this to blow by the other
           racers like nothing. Earned in Los Angeles

- Weight Transfer - The weight transfer is way to keep your car stable
                    in the air. Use the L1 button and the left analog
                    stick to keep your car nice and stable for landing.
                    When you have a motorcycle this becomes your nitros
                    system. By pressing down and L1 at the same time 
                    you can do a wheelie to give a big boost of speed.
                    By pressing up and L1 you can crouch down on the
                    bike and catch some extra decent speed. Pressing
                    L1, Square, and Up at the same time you can do an
                    endo on your bike. Earned in Los Angeles

- Slip-Stream Turbo - This is very useful, a free turbo boost. To use
                      this get behind another racer and tail them until
                      your meter gets red. Once it turns red hit the
                      R2 button to use this short burst of speed.
                      Earned in Los Angeles

- Two Wheeling - This little trick pops your car on two wheels for
                 tight spots. By pressing the L1 button and left or
                 right you'll pop your car onto two wheels for a moment
                 to ride by people. Earned in Los Angeles

- Burnout - By holding down the brake and punching the gas you'll
            notice your meter start to rise. When it hits the top let
            go of the brake and send your ass flying by using this
            technique.

***Here's a badass tip from the one and only [email protected].
   He sends in the max speed for every vehicle in the game. A truely
   note worthy tip and something to you guys the edge. Even I must bow
   with respect to him for this one. I'm leaving the entire tip in his
   original e-mail format, so if there are any spelling errors then
   it's not my fault. I'll get around to correcting them later if you
   guys have trouble with the spelling.***

I had the code: rimbuk enabled when i did these tests. I don't know if
that makes a difference. Also the (*) means that the speedometer was
flickering the indicated number. Thank You for your time. ***




4) Los Angeles

- Ok little shrimp.....here's where you'll start off to build your
  legend. Don't get nervous now. I'll give you the lowdown of what to
  expect from all the racers in Los Angeles.

- To race in this you must go through each marker as they appear until
  you can goto the finishing line marker.


- Moses -

- First race is too easy. It's just a straight shot to the finish line
  with minimal curves.

- The second race has a few sharp turns to watch out for. This race is
  not hard at all. When you're coming off the highway move to the alley
  way just to the left of the street markers not allowing you to take
  the road they're blocking. You can't crash through these markers so
  don't try.

- Maria -

- The first race is a bit difficult if you're still learning the game.
  You have heavy traffic to watch out for and cops in the skies looking
  all around for you. A note to watch out for, if you're in the lead
  when getting off the highway for the first time a semi-truck will
  get in your way to block off your way to get back on the highway.
  Swerve around it or try going under the truck's cargo to keep on
  cruising right along.

- Ok this race has a bit of a twist to it. You have only Maria to deal
  with so no worries there. The only thing you have to worry about is
  the time limit. Each time you pass through a checkpoint you get a
  new time limit to get to the next one. They don't accumulate on this
  race so move your butt. This race is fairly easy if you can keep up
  the pace to reach each checkpoint in time.

- Gina -

- This race is pretty simple, just keep your eyes out for the check-
  points since they are spaced pretty far apart. Basically just beat
  out the other racers and you're off to the next race. Like I said,
  this isn't too hard. All you have to do is keep up the pressure.

- Another simple race, the only part to look out for is the snake part.
  You'll eventually reach a checkpoint that you should of gone down an
  alley to get to, and then the rest are behind each other causing you
  to snake around to get them. Just get through this part asap and make
  your back the way you came to finish the race. This race isn't
  exactly the easiest since you're racing against motorcycles. Don't be
  fooled now, those things can haul some major ass. Just do what you
  can to beat them out and you'll have a motorcycle of your own to tote
  around.

***Here's another tip from Kevin L. that he e-mailed me. I'm posting
   this one in the format he gave me as well. Thank the dude for the
   tip.

***hey    i found out in the first race against gina that bfore the
   race starts and they are showing you the motorcycles going and stuff
   you should start spinning your tires and then before they say go you
   press triange and the race will begin and catch the racers alittle
   off gaurd and you can get a early lead just as soon as you press
   triangle let go of your hand break and you well fly past the
   oppinits this gave  me a pretty big led in the beggining and helped
   me win this race. as soon as u press tria. the race starts so.
   kevin L.

***Here's a tip from Kevin Rice that he e-mailed me. It's posted in the
   exact form he e-mailed me, so thank him if his tip is useful for
   you.***

** During the race for the motorcycle (where you're racing against
   motorcycles), it's much easier to get through the slalom (you
   called it the snake part) by either directly colliding with the
   motorcycle racers (half will go one way through the slalom and half
   go the other way) or forcing them to make extremely wide turns by
   turning into them.  It took me a few tries to figure that out, but
   once it's done, the race is easy.  Save your nitrous for the ride 
   back.  Once you're through the hard right-angle turn, it's a mostly
   straight ride through the remaining checkpoints and through the
   finish line.  It's here that you kick in the nitrous.  I beat the
   second place motorcycles by just over eight seconds doing this. **

- This time they put you on a motorcycle to race against Gina and her
  racers for her car. There are some sharp turns, major traffic, and
  dumb people that want to pull out of their parking spots to get in
  your way at the very last moment just to wreck you. So all in all you
  better pay good attention to the road and keep the speed up if you
  want to win this race because it's not easy. A turn to watch out for
  is when you're coming off the highway. This turn will take you to the
  airport and that's where the cars will turn out on you. Keep an eye
  out for that.

- Steven -

- The first race is a race against time. Each time you clear a
  checkpoint you'll add more time to your current time. If the clock
  hits zero then you lose, so move that car of yours and reach the
  finish line already. There's just a few sharp turns to look out for
  and a cop or two to will be out to annoy you. Shake the cops and
  tackle the turns to win this race. Also take the short cut through
  the construction yard to reach the finish line faster when it shows
  up that for you to reach it.

- The last race with him is a very confusing one because you don't know
  who's winning or losing. There are three checkpoints that you have
  to clear in any order that you wish to go through them before heading
  out to the finish line. Forget trying to figure out if you're first
  or last, just finish the race as quickly as possible. You'll win your
  self a brand spanking new car if you win this one.

- Angel -

- Just like in Steven's last race you can go through the checkpoints in
  any order. The only problem is is that there are way more than in
  Steven's. Just like in the last one go through as many checkpoints as
  fast as you can and don't worry about first or last place. Try and
  get the checkpoints in a straight shot so that you don't have to turn
  so much to get them. In otherwords avoid driving around to each one
  individually and get them all in a single go.

- You race Angel's old man in this one. He drives a pretty decent car
  that can floorboard it like nothing. This race has alot of tight
  turns and other various obstacles to get in your way. Just be aware
  of your surroundings and watch Angel's dad. This is a one on one race
  so don't worry about anybody else but him. Just keep the speed up
  and you'll win.


*** Got an e-mail with a tip from MCS Silby for this race with Angel's
    dad. ***

*** Right before the finish line while you're in the dam, you should be
    lined up with the finish line with the exception of a building.
    Use nitro on the lip of the dam and you should fly up over the
    building onto the finish.  Because of this I won the race and that
    hot car.  ***


- This last race is somewhat long. The checkpoints are spaced far apart
  and you have to deal with some traffic and cops. Also you're racing
  against a group of racers instead of just one on one. Not much I can
  suggest here but to find your own way that you're confortable with
  and keep the speed flowing on this race. You win this race, you win
  yourself a new car and Angel's anger.

- Hector -

- This isn't really a race, more like a challenge. Before you can reach
  the finish line you must lose all cops on your tail. You can't goto
  the finish line with cops on your butt so do what you can to lose
  them and then get to the finish line as fast as possible without
  attracting more cops.

- Yet again another race where you can go through the checkpoints in
  any order that you wish. The checkpoints in this race are like
  triangles in that there are three in one spot that resemble triangles
  There are also a few that are just out of the way. Find a groove that
  suits you and get this race over with as fast as you can. Like before
  don't worry about if you're first or last, just finish the race as
  fast as you can.

- This race is gonna be one to the finish. It's long, has, some tight
  turns, heavy traffic, the occasional cops, you name it. Just race as
  fast as you can on this one and keep an eye out on the traffic since
  this is what will give you the most problems in my opinion. If you
  keep up the pressure and master your controls then you should have
  this race over with in no time.

- Dice -

- This is the champ and he's gonna show you why he's the champ. -

- Alright........this level by far will be one of the hardest that
  you'd of encountered so far. The race is long with and extreme amount
  of traffic, and some of the sharpest turns to watch out for. Cops
  will try to get in your way in this one, but they're really no threat
  to you in my opinion. One sharp turn to look out for is the turn onto
  the highway just after the weaving through the trees. You have to get
  on the highway and the only way on is a very sharp turn on a check
  point. This race will test all of your skills to win. Dice drives
  one of the best cars in the game, with speed that can just equal the
  motorcycle. Dice will not play around with you for long so do what
  you can to get the lead and keep it. Finish this race off the best
  way you can. Also another sharp turn to look out for is the turn to
  go to the finish line. There's a small opening just to the right of
  the last checkpoint that will take you right to the finish line. I
  myself have missed this opening alot before I hit just right, so I'm
  giving all of you the heads up. Race strong on this one.

- More annoying than the first stage with Dice this one gives you more
  traffic with all the checkpoints spaced extremely far apart. It's
  going to take everything you have to win this race. There are many
  tight turns and plenty of surprises to watch out for on this stage
  along with Dice and the other racers using some pretty fast cars. You
  will just have to deal with it. At the end when it's time to go to
  the finish line crash through the glass that's in front of you if
  hit the checkpoint just right and take that shortcut to the finish.
  You'll win Dice's sweet ride if you win at this stage so don't screw
  up. Remember now......keep an eye out for all the tight turns and
  find your own way of defeating this stage since you can goto each and
  every checkpoint any way you wish.

- With that all said and done you are now the champ of Los Angeles.
  Time to move on to Paris.......



5) Paris


- Blog -

- The first race is race with some tight tight turning. You have to
  race against not only Blog but a few others as well. This race
  shouldn't be much of a prob for anyone, if you can dodge through alot
  of traffic that is. Just watch out for the traffic and you'll have
  the race in no time.

- The last race is a bit long. It has some pretty heavy traffic to
  watch out for and some very sharp turns. There are a few spots that
  will throw you off like the big jumps and turns offs to go up a ramp
  and down a ramp to get to checkpoints, but if you watch out for these
  then you'll have the race. You are racing against multiple racers, so
  be careful of that. When you see a light blue circle surrounded by
  a white circle on your radar screen, then be ready to take the first
  off ramp to go up to get it. It is a bit hard to miss so watch out.
  The ramp is on your right. Keep up the pressure little shrimp and
  you'll take home a new car when you win.

- Jewel & Julie -

- The first race is where you can go through the checkpoints in any
  order, but I mean c'mon. If you notice they circle around perfectly
  almost so just pick a side and go that way around back to the finish.
  I took the right side first and won it on my first try on this stage.
  There's really not much traffic to worry about. Just watch out for
  other racers that will come at you head on from taking another route.
  This race is really simple so if you lose at it the first time, then
  you better win the second. It doesn't take much to win at this one.

- Ok on this one you don't have to worry about traffic too much, it's
  actually light for once. What you do have to worry about is the
  narrow roads that must be taken to win this race. The other racers
  will be so close to you in most of the roads that they will try to
  slam you into the wall, especially at the the start point. This stage
  has alot of sharp turns and few checkpoints to confuse the hell out
  of you since they put them various different places, but as long as
  you watch yourself around the other racers you should win. Remember
  now.......you're playing for pink slips on this one. One checkpoint
  to look out for is the one where you'll have to go down onto the
  highway and back up into an off ramp. If you're in first like I was
  and got confused a bit to where this one was, let another racer in
  front of you show you the way to it. That's what I did and then I
  punched the nitros to leave his sorry tail behind.

- Primo -

- Ok......this is yet another race where you can through the
  checkpoints in any order. They do circle around nicely, but there are
  a few stray ones. On this you have heavy traffic in narrow spaces.
  Yep you heard me......you'll be mainly on little streets trying to
  swerve through heavy traffic and other racers to get to the check
  points. Now on this one there seems to be many ways you can go to get
  the checkpoints and finish, so I'm gonna let you decide which route
  you want to take. Just be prepared for all the traffic and narrow
  space though.

*** Here's a tip from Seppo that he e-mailed me...I'm not sure which
    race it's for, as he didn't quite make that clear, but maybe you
    can figure it out and use the tip. ***

** Hey - was just looking at your FAQ for MC2 (nice job, by the way),
   and I had a tip for the last race with Primo, which I beat last
   night (just got the game for xbox). Just before the second-to-last
   checkpoint, there's a shortcut off to the right of the main street,
   that leads to a ramp that'll jump you halfway over the river, onto a
   little island. You'll hit the second-to-last checkpoint, despite
   being like, three stories above it, and if you're racing against
   someone who stays on the ground, and takes the bridge to the finish,
   you'll beat them by 3-5 seconds, easy. That, and it's freakin'
   spectacular. **

- This race is a tough one, so don't take it lightly. You'll be
  spending alot of time going on and off the highway to get checkpoints
  so be ready to dodge traffic. Also it seems when you're not on the
  highway you'll be going through some narrow spaces to get to
  checkpoints, so watch out. There's alot to worry about on this race,
  so you'll have to be very alert to win this one. When you're going
  to the second checkpoint, you can crash through the gates to get to
  it. Make sure you land on the far side of the highway though or you
  will miss it. Also after the second checkpoint has been cleared, you
  will soon run into a place on the highway that you will have to
  swerve back and forth through arcs in order to get at the
  checkpoints. Just watch out for all the oncoming and out of view
  traffic on this one.

- Ian -

- This race is long, full of traffic, has lots of tight turns, plenty
  of narrow spaces, and all in all a general annoyance to beat. You
  are racing against other racers in this one so you'll have to watch
  out for others as well as Ian. You'll be going back and forth through
  narrow spaces to get to the checkpoints. A note on winning the race,
  when you have to go to the finish line you'll notice a glass pyramid
  in front of you when you clear the last checkpoint. Use a nitros just
  before you get to it and fly over to buildings right to the finish
  line. This could save your butt should someone be on your tail to the
  finish line as well.

*** Here's a tip from Chris "Coolboarder" Blue. I left his tip in the
    original e-mail format. ***

*** Hey! I liked your Strategy guide for MC2. You did a good job on it.
    I found 1 thing, though. This is for the first race with Ian in
    Paris. I just beat it a couple of minutes ago, so leme say this
    before I forget. After you hit the third to last checkpoint, get on
    the highway (if your in last, don't restart just yet). Just before
    you go in the tunnel, there is a turnoff to the right. This might
    be why when you get off the highway at the end of the tunnel, youre
    in first, and then it seems like out of nowhwere, a racer appears
    infront of you, and beats you. after you turn off the highway, make
    a quick left to get up into the city. Now you just go to the last
    checkpoint and fly over the buildings, and you should win with the
    use off maybe one boost. I was in last, and i did this, and beat
    the second place guy by a full 7 seconds. ***

- In this race you're not only racing against Ian, but motorcycles as
  well. There are only 4 checkpoints to clear before reaching the
  finish line, but they're all spread out so far apart. Use as many
  shortcuts as you can to win this one. This race isn't that hard if
  do use shortcuts. You end up avoiding the traffic and you get a nice
  lead on the other racers. You get yourself a new car if you win, so
  get this one over with.

- Heavy traffic galore on this one with all motorcycle racers to boot.
  The heavy traffic should slow them down enough though to stop them,
  and if the traffic doesn't knock them off their rides, I know you
  can! Just be careful of the traffic yourself and some of the tight
  turns as well. You when you reach the highway part of this stage, you
  will have to swerve through the arcs to get at a few checkpoints.
  A note on the finish line, if you go to the street on the right side
  of the finish line indicator on the radar, you'll find the offramp to
  it. You'll win yourself a new bike should you win this race.

- Stephane -

- Here's another race where you can go through the checkpoints in any
  order. The checkpoints are bunched up in twos or threes in certain
  areas of the stage. You'll have to go out for the next bunch when you
  clear the amount at one spot. I can't give you any clear cut
  direction on how to win at this stage since you can take any
  direction you want. Just watch out for the heavy traffic and the
  other racers trying to close in on your tail.

- This race make take a few tries to win at. You have heavy traffic and
  narrow spaces. At one checkpoint there will be a gate right next to
  it. You must crash through this gate to get to the rest of the check
  points. When you've gone through this gate be ready for some fun to
  begin as you will not only have to deal with traffic and racers, but
  at some points you'll have to deal with dodging pipes. You're going
  through the underground so yeah watch out for that stuff. This race
  is fairly long so get ready to get comfy for this one. You'll get the
  hang of this race if you have to redo it over and over, but we all
  know we want to get it over with immedieately, so learn this stage
  as fast as possible. Also you'll come to the glass pyramid at one
  point. Save a nitro for it to go flying over the buildings to the
  checkpoint. To do that use the nitrous just as you're reaching the
  glass pyramid. Once that's done just control yourself to the top of
  it and watch yourself catch some major air.

- Farid -

- In this race he says he's trying to keep a low profile (gee I wonder
  why.....) so the race takes place in the catacombs. Meaning....you'll
  be racing in the underground mainly throughout the stage. Watch out
  for pipes and pillars that are in the middle of the passages when
  going through the underground. You can break through the small pipes
  and walls on the sides of the pipes and pillars so no worries there.
  Other than worrying about the tight spaces you'll be in for the most
  part, there's really nothing to worry about. You're just racing
  against Farid on this one. This race is fairly easy if you ask me, so
  like I said.......you shouldn't have much trouble.

- Ok.......this stage was way too easy for me. You have to lose the
  cops on this one before you can cross the finish line. I just went
  straight to the finish line and lost them on the way. It may not
  happen like that for you, but this stage is easy. You get his car
  for winning this one.

- Now in this race you seem to be racing some british spy dude or
  something that wants some documents from Farid's car that you earned.
  Smoke his ass like ain't no thing. This race is fairly easy. Watch
  out for some heavy traffic and a few tight spaces. The dude named
  Owen drives a pretty good car so keep an eye on him in your rear view
  mirror. Win this race......win his car. Also when going to the finish
  line, goto the left side of the finish line indicator on the radar
  and you'll find a small opening to enter to clear the finish line.

- Parfait -

- Here's the champ of Paris.....show her how to catch an all american
  smackdown....

- This race is long and drawn out. You'll have heavy traffic to deal
  with along with plenty of racers on your tail. This race might and
  probably could take you a few tries to win, these guys don't fool
  around. Take as many shortcuts that you know to get to the
  checkpoints. All the checkpoints are spaced far apart from each other
  so take note of that. There's alot of pressure riding on this race,
  so keep your cool and be prepared for those nitro boosts because you
  will need them.

- The girl's got some jokes now along with a vengeful attitude. She's
  done playing around and is now going all out on you. Think you're
  ready for this one? This race is long and full of traffic. You'll be
  going through some tight spots so be ready for them when they show
  up. There are many ways you can take to win this one, so if you know
  of many shortcuts to get to the checkpoints then by all means take
  them. Parfait and her other racers will not play around with you on
  this race so pull out all the stops that you can to win. You'll get
  her sweet ride should you win this one.


6) Tokyo

- After a small cutscene with Gina getting all happy that she landed a dj gig
  in Tokyo, so there's your next destination.


- Ricky -

- Seems Gina's gotten herself into some trouble with Ricky and the Yakuza,
  so she's relieved since you're around. It's time to dish out Gina's revenge
  through you. This race seems like it may be simple and fast since all the
  checkpoints are relatively close, but extreme heavy traffic, cops, and the
  fact that those checkpoints go back and forth from one side to another
  makes this race longer than expected. When going to third chekcpoint
  you'll notice that it's in a place where there are tons of off ramps.
  Remember this place because you can use this as a place of shortcuts
  throughout this race by passing underneath them to get to other check
  points. At one point you'll be on a straightaway going to a checkpoint,
  and you'll see a row of buses in front of you. To the right of the row there
  should be on bus that's not looking at you and facing the other buses at
  an angle. There's just enough room for you to squeeze through the
  opening with just you scratching the sides of your car. I used the Modo
  Prego for this race, so the bus shortcut might not work with other cars,
  I'm not sure. Use your nitros if you're falling behind, or on straight shots
  to checkpoints and you'll blow the comp away in this race and piss off
  Ricky.

- Alright....you wanted a race that would piss you off instead of just boss
  races? Well wish granted.......this race is a time race with just 2 minutes
  and 30 seconds to win it in. This is no easy thing as all the chekcpoints
  are spaced nicely far apart and there's nothing but cops, cops, and more
  fricken cops to run into and block off roads if you're in first. Ricky will
  cheat at the beginning of the race by not waiting for the countdown to
  finish to start, so you will have to make up for that jump start of his. Going
  to the 4th checkpoint you can take an off ramp up it, then back down the
  other side to save you some time. When I finally won this race I had just
  10 seconds to reach the finish line from the straight away shot on it's
  road. I saved all 3 of my nitros boosts for this exact moment. I won the
  race with just under a second to spare. The straight shot that I took to the
  finish line is covered with buses and cops. Just as I reached the finish line
  I had to crash through cop blockade to get to the finish line. Also during
  this race it's not the heavy traffic that's gonna screw you over, but the
  massive amount of buses and construction vehicles that are all over the
  roads of this race. Unlike the cars that you crash into and they barely slow
  you down or just fish tail you somewhat, the buses and con. vehicles will
  stop you in your tracks and at times depending on how you hit them,
  flip you over onto your side or roof. There are alot of small to big
  shortcuts you can go on during this race, and if this is your first Tokyo
  race like mine then this is the greatest time to learn of those shortcuts to
  take on future races. This race probably will take a few tries to get right,
  but remember that it's really the time that'll screw you over and not the 
  competition. Alot of the time I never even finished the race due to the time
  limit. Good luck to you on this one. Win it and you got yourself a brand
  new car and a world of pain in Ricky's words.

- Shing -

- Ok this race is gonna piss you off over and over again. God only knows
  how many tries this took me. This is yet another time race, with barely any
  time time to talk about. I used the Vortex 5 for this race, but you use the
  car you want if you don't like the Vortex 5. To start off the race go on the
  very first road to your right and watch out for all the buses and trucks
  on this road. At the end of the road hang a left and watch out for the cop
  waiting for you here. At times there was a bus just as a I turned left onto
  this road right before the cop. Keep an eye on the right side of the road,
  because there's an alley way and a ramp right beside it that'll take you
  directly to the first checkpoint. After you've cleared it turn right around
  and head up the ramp, or back on the rampway if you took it to the first
  checkpoint, and get on to the subway tracks. It took me many tries before
  I figured this out. Stay on the tracks as they will take you directly to the
  second checkpoint. The first fork in the subway tracks take the right path.
  Stay on that path until you see the light of the checkpoint to fall off onto.
  From that checkpoint use your nitros to make your way to the final
  checkpoint, because you're gonna use at least one or two on this one.
  When you've finally got this race out of the way then you've earned the
  right to race against Shing.

- Ok to start things off for this race let me say that as far as checkpoints are
  concerned they're all in a basic line that rarely requires any shortcuts to
  get to. What you do have to deal with Shing's relentless speed, one too
  many damn buses, and cops that just don't know the meaning of give up.
  As I said the shortcuts are rare, the only one I had to take is after you
  get the one of the bridge look to the left for a breakable gate in between
  the concrete walls to fall off of the bridge and onto an immediate straight
  shot to the next checkpoint. Now onto the bad points of this race. First
  lets talk about Shing.......Shing's got speed on his side and skills to match.
  The heavy traffic will screw him over from time to time allowing you to
  take the lead. Second bad point is the heavy bus traffic. I've never seen
  a city or been to a city that has had as many buses on it's roads as this
  place. Everytime you take a turn it seems there's a bus there to greet you
  and slam into you. This is one of the factors that will cause you to lose.
  The third and final bad point being the police is the other main factor that
  will cause you to lose. Granted they do go after Shing also, but it just
  doesn't seem as much as when they go after you. The buses hurt Shing
  more than the cops. The cops and buses combined though will prevent
  you from winning this race the first few tries until you finally get the hang
  of this course. When you finally win this course you'll win yourself a new
  car to show off.

- Turns out you just defeated Shing's friend Ichiro, so now he's extremely
  pissed with you. He brings the gang and a new car to earn on this race
  to defeat you. The race begins with you going through the river to snag
  a few checkpoints. When you have to get out of the river for the second
  time and turn off to the left to go after another checkpoint, be ready for
  the cops to start showing up. The first shows up just as you finish this
  turn. The checkpoints are in a nice order to get with some turning through
  heavy traffic to worry about, but when you have to go up to the high
  grounds to get the next one (it'll be the checkpoint surrounded by white
  on the radar) will fool you to get to the first time trying, unless you're
  reading this. Ok after you snag the checkpoint this one turn left onto the
  back road and head towards it. Stay on this road, and you should see an
  off ramp to the left soon. Do not take this ramp, but rather go under it.
  After you've gone under this ramp keep your eyes on the right side of the
  road for a small rampway to the subway tracks. Go that way to get the
  checkpoint. Now from there on the checkpoints become relatively easy
  to go after again. When you're going towards one checkpoint you'll
  notice a huge ramp that'll give you a big shortcut to it. To hit the shortcut
  right, you have to have a nitro saved for this jump. Use it when you're
  about halfway up the ramp. When you're going towards the finish line,
  instead of going on the roads, cut through the garage yard. You'll crash
  through glass or a breakable gate or something if you keep going towrads
  the finish line through the garage yard, and when you do you'll see
  another ramp just in front of you. You'll need another nitro saved for this
  to make it to the other side. It's worth it because when you land you'll hit
  the finish line. Winning at this race requires you to keep the pressure on
  Shing and his crew. Police aren't as bad on this race since there aren't as
  many, but buses will cause you problems from time to time on this race.
  They're not there that often, but they're there. Shing's crew is what you're
  main prob will be. Keep the speed going on this one and really use that
  one nitro when you need it since the other two are saved for the ramps.
  It'll take alot skill to win at this race, but least wise this race is nowhere
  near as bad as the first two you had to do for Shing, so you shouldn't
  have many problems winning this one if you did well on the first two.
  Win it and get yourself another car from Shing.

-  Haley -

- This girl really seems outta place here in Tokyo, plus she's really feminist
  to boot. Her trash talk during the race will really get under your skin if you
  are a guy playing the game. This first race with her is yet another your
  choice race, where you go through the checkpoints in any order you
  want. From the first batch that's in front of you I suggest you go towards
  the 4-batch that's to the right. One of the checkpoints in this batch is
  inside some walls. To get in there there are two ways. The first is that
  there are a few breakable gates to get at the checkpoint. The second is
  from the highway checkpoint in this batch that you have to go up to get.
  From that checkpoint you can drop down to the inside of the walls. Also
  another checkpoint to watch out for is one that's underground. To get to
  it, the entrance to the underground is right next to the stadium. You
  should see the stadium from that 4-batch I just mentioned when you go
  towards the batch that contains the underground checkpoint. Other than
  those two checkpoints the others are very simple to get at. Just do things
  fast and use your nitros. Haley's a fast little girl with some mad skills in
  this race and don't be surprised if she beats you the first few times. Find
  your groove for this race and get to know where each checkpoint is and
  how to get to them effectively and you will win this race without a prob.
  The traffic's not that much to worry about, there's no cops that I ran into
  on this race, and the buses are at a minimum to none depending on the
  routes you take.

- This is actually a turn for the better race. After going through some pretty
  tough races so far this race is a nice straight forward race. The
  checkpoints go on and off the highways, but not that often or for long.
  You will need to take the occasional shortcut on this race to win it, where
  you take them is up to you. The competition takes some shortcuts, but
  not all. So with the comp not trying too hard to win it's all up to you how
  many shortcuts you want to take to win. The bad thing of this race is that
  the majority of all the checkpoints are in incoming traffic to get to. So get
  those reflexes in shape cuz for this race you will need them. Other than
  that there's the occasional cop to watch out for and the few buses and
  big vehicles to watch for, but not that much for both. This race may, just
  may, take you a try or two to win, but you shouldn't have much trouble
  winning at this one in no time. Win the race and you get to hear Haley
  make excuses for poor ass driving skills and her car the Saikou.

- Zen -

- For once in this entire game I actually meet an honorable person to race
  against. Zen spends his time giving out quotes and such like Confusious
  during the race. Now this race is a time limit race where you go through
  the points and gain more time. This isn't the bad part. The checkpoints
  are nicely spaced to where you can finish this race with time to spare.
  The probs with this race is that Zen is a motorcycle racer and the heavy
  heavy traffic and buses. It took me 4 tries in total to win this race. The first
  two times I got used to the traffic and locations of the buses. The third
  time around I found better shortcuts and got used to how the crotch
  rocket racers raced. So the 4th time around I used the shortcuts I thought
  were better, was able to dodge through traffic and past buses, and I
  was able to knock off the cyclists off there bikes when they came around.
  There are plenty of shortcuts to take on this race to each checkpoint, so
  really it's up to you how you want to race this one in terms of shortcuts.
  I will say this though.....for the checkpoint that you have to go
  underground to get, stay on the sidewalk inside the tunnel. You'll avoid
  the traffic, and there's nothing on the sidewalk that will slow you down.
  Also when you come out of the tunnel, you'll see the ravine to your left.
  The next checkpoint that you're going towards go onto the side of the
  ravine til you have to jump out to go for the checkpoint. By doing this
  you'll avoid the heavy traffic yet again. This race isn't that easy, but after
  a try or two you should get used to how things work and be able to win
  at it.

- Ok this race will take you quite a few tries to win at. Consider this a mini
  boss race. Zen and his crew, through honorable, will take out all the tricks
  they can do to win. Take advantage of the fact that none of the bikers can
  take a hit and try to cause them to wreck when you can. You'll get a few
  seconds to get ahead of them. Now the checkpoints aren't that hard to get
  to, but a few them are tricky to land right. Just a little over half of the
  checkpoints on this race are in incoming traffic, so your reflexes have to
  be at their best if you want to stay with this group or even keep the lead
  if you get it. Also you remember that huge ramp jump back in Shing's race
  that I suggested you take, well you have to take it in this race. This is the
  only spot where a nitro needs to be saved for, so you really have only 2
  free nitros to use in this race. There's really only one checkpoint that you
  have to watch out for, and it's the one just as you're getting off the
  highway. When you're coming to the end of the highway you'll jump off
  it to the ground. During that jump you'll see the checkpoint as soon as
  you jump. Try and aim your car towards the left side of the highway to hit
  it correctly, else you might as well restart the race if everyone's right on
  top of you. If you have a lead on people then find an up ramp nearby
  quickly and get to that checkpoint to try to either keep the lead, or have
  about one or two racers with you. Win this race and you get the fastest
  motorcycle in the game.

- Nikko -

- Alright.....Nikko and his bunch don't have much skill to talk of in this race
  but they have what it takes to win the race. Now you shouldn't have much
  probs with them in this race, but you will have a hell of a time with the
  weather conditions. It's raining so much that your car will fishtail alot
  during this race, plus braking is complete bitch to do. This is a race that
  takes some patience and driving skills to pull off the win. There are cops
  in this race, but because of the weather it will affect them as well. If you
  can get by all the racer and keep a nice lead over all of them the cops will
  worry about the other racers instead of you. Also save one nitro for the
  end of the race. When you're driving towards the finish line through the
  back alleys and what not, you'll see a ramp that allows to jump to the
  finish line. You have to use a nitro here to reach it, otherwise you'll come
  up short everytime. This race may take you a try or two to win at because
  of weather conditions, but other than the weather there shouldn't be too
  much of anything else that can affect you to lose.

- This race beyond annoying. You have the ultimate time limit race from
  this one. Each checkpoint only brings your timer back to 15 to 20 seconds
  of time. Each checkpoint is relatively close to each other, but the heavy
  traffic and the now very competitive Nikko crew will make this one a very
  irritating race. Cops show up every now and then to try to screw you over
  also. There's really no shortcuts to get to each checkpoint so this is a
  straight shot race. All you have to do is avoid heavy traffic while keeping
  up the pressure with Nikko and his racers and you'll win. Trust me when I
  say that that's easier said than done. This race will take you alot of tries
  to nail it down right. Just avoid screwing anything up and you'll win.
  When you do finally win at this race you'll get the Knight.

- Ken'ichi

- Alright....I hate this race as much as I hate seeing a white guy try too hard
  to be black. It took me friggen forever to finally win at this race. Ken'ichi
  is no joke and neither are his associates that race with him. So in order to
  win at this race you're gonna have to dig deep within yourself to bring out
  a level of skill you never thought you had to win. The checkpoints aren't
  that hard to get to, but one in particular is. You'll see the ramp jump from
  Nikko's first race to hit the checkpoint on the other side. So save one nitro
  for this jump, because if you go the long way to get to that checkpoint
  will ulitmately land you in last place, because all of the other drivers will
  hit the jump. It does require some aiming to hit it just right, so if you miss
  the first few times you will have to restart the race. Try hitting the nitro
  with yourself aimed forward without drifting left or right in the middle of
  the ramp. Other than that one jump there's really nothing I can say about
  the race except worrying about keeping up with Ken'ichi. Bust out all the
  skills you have on him and do what you can to win this one. It does
  surprise me that Ken'ichi is not a champion.........makes you wonder who
  the champ is and what they'll bust out on you when you race them.

- This is how you can repay Gina's debt by taking out the racers with the
  cop car. To do so just slam into them and they're out of commision. The
  cop car is extremely fast so you shouldn't have much trouble taking out
  the cars. In fact the traffic was taking them out left and right so much for
  me that all I had to do was crash into them. I beat this one in just under a
  minute on my first try, so you can either call that dumb luck, an easy task,
  or I got those exrtemely mad skills. You decide.

- Now that you've paid off Gina's debt Ken'ichi only has a problem with
  you. Seems you hurt his pride when you beat him in that first race. So now
  he's out for blood. Time to show him why you possess the greatest skills
  around. This race is carried out in the rain, but don't let that stop you
  since Ken'ichi doesn't seem to care. He's still got those asskicking skills
  needed to win this one even if his associates doesn't. The checkpoints
  don't really have that many shortcuts to them and they're all in pretty
  straight order. Just worry about the heavy traffic and the rain. Alot of the
  cars in this race are completely F***ING STUPID!!!!!!!!! I counted 7 cars
  that deliberately turned into me causing me to spin off and crash. They
  move fine if any of the other drivers pass them, but as soon as you get
  close to them they swerve right into you. Watch out for this as it seems
  it's a random thing. It took me a few tries to win at it, but not as many as
  the first race with Ken'ichi. If you handled yourself well in the bad weather
  race with Nikko, then you shouldn't have much probs with this one if you
  can keep up with Ken'ichi and put pressure on him. You'll win the Saikou
  XS for this race.

- Makoto -

- The All District No. 1 Racer and Champion......but the guy looks like he's
  damn near 60! He's been around the block long since we were born, and
  he's not about to lose to some young punk looking to make a name for
  himself......time to show him what the youth is all about.

- Ok this first race is gonna take alot of what you got. You can't use any
  nitro because they're all saved for making ramp jumps. That's right....there
  are three ramp jumps in this race. This is a time limit race where you have
  to make it through all the checkpoints in under 3 minutes and 30 seconds.
  The first two checkpoints are ramp jumps so be ready for them. The final
  checkpoint also is a ramp jump, the big one that you hit on Nikko's first
  run and Ken'ichi's first run as well. This race will take you quite a few tries
  as it did me, but since all you're doing is racing against the time, then that
  is all you need to worry about. There are alot of cops on this race so
  beware of that. There are quite a few trucks and buses that you will run
  into here, but the cops are what you will have to watch out for more. This
  is tough, but not that tough. With the right car that you can use extremely
  well and you should have this race in the bag.

- Let me say right off the bat that I don't know how I did it, but I beat him
  on the first try. I came out with everything I had, and it was an extremely
  close race, but in the end I came out on top. I think it was because
  everyone had used up all the nitros throughout the race. You will have to
  save up one nitro for a ramp jump. So that leaves you and everyone else
  with just 2 nitros to use. It seems we all used them on straightaway shots
  and to get ahead of each other at certain points in the race. I used every
  shortcut and trick I knew of to win this one, not to mention all the skill I 
  possibly have to win. This race is extremely tough to win at, and it's even
  more difficult since it's in the rain. The traffic's not that bad, and didn't
  run into any cops in this race, so it's basically a race between you and the
  other racers. Since you've only got to worry about the weather in this
  race put all your focus into the other drivers. It's time that you let
  everything you have out in order to win this thing. It's not going to be
  easy, but put all the pressure you can on all the drivers and you'll win it.
  Once you've beat this guy you win yourself a brand new car and the
  Tokyo Championship.


7) The World Champion

- Savo -

- This is it.......whatever brought you this far in this game, you're gonna
  have to use that to win. This is the Street Racing World Champion that
  you're about to go up against......this is no joking matter now. Time to
  dethrone the champ to make way for a new champion. The car of choice
  for this one is the Torque JX. I'm not telling you to use a car that you're
  comfortable with, I'm telling you that this is the only car that'll stand up
  against Savo. I don't care if you're great with another car, you have to use
  this one to even stand a chance against him. With that out of the way I
  wish you good luck and bust out those extreme skills of yours. You have
  Gina's support throughout all the Savo races, as she will chime in every
  now and then through Savo's rants and trash talking to give you words
  of encouragement. Also if you've made it this far then you have my
  respect and support as well. I know if you've made to Savo then you do
  have what it takes to become the true champion.

- Alright........this is a loooong race. You race all over the city of Tokyo on
  this one. Savo and his crew aren't the greatest for nothing. The heavy
  traffic on this stage will hurt all of you though, but a good point is that
  there's no cops. Save nitro for the only jump you have to take in this race,
  which is to make it to the finish line. You have to worry about heavy
  traffic like crazy in this stage, and at one point subway cars. Take that into
  effect along with the best of best you're racing and this makes for a race
  with tons of tries in order to finally win. I really have nothing more that I
  can tell you. You can rarely use shortcuts effectively in this stage, so do
  what you can with the alleys and streets. Using SST and your 3 extra
  Nitros will ensure a victory, along with all the other techs you've earned,
  but to really beat you're gonna have to come out with skills that you've
  never thought possible. Savo's one tough son of a bitch, but he is
  beatable. Defeat him to move on to the next round of punishment.

- This race took me hours to finally win at. The race itself is a time limit race.
  You have exactly 5 minutes and 30 seconds to reach the finish line. This
  isn't easy at all. You're driving all over Tokyo as well again with heavy
  traffic all over the place and buses and other heavy trucks galore. Use the
  same tactics you used on Savo and his crew in the first race, but make
  sure you keep an eye on the clock on this race. You can freely use all the
  nitros that you want in this race, and take any and all shortcuts that you
  know about or find out in this race to reach checkpoints. This race is
  much more difficult than the first one, so numerous tries will give you the
  exprience needed to finally win at this race. Keep the skills flying and
  the pressure turned all the up to come out on top.

- Savo moves things to Paris now. The first race here is an in any order
  checkpoint race, with 4 checkpoints at the farthest reaches of the city.
  I can't tell you which way to go on this one, just find a route that you
  know with tons of shortcuts you can hit and you'll win this one. The
  traffic is heavy on this one with no cops. Shortcuts are the key to winning
  this race so cut every corner on this one. This one didn't take me as long
  to win at as the second one did, but it still took me tons of tries and time.
  I started off going towards the one to the left from the direction you face
  at the start so you can try that way if you want and ten go wherever like
  me, but I leave this race up to you since there's no clear cut way to going
  about this race except to know where all the shortcuts are.

- Maybe the pressure's finally getting to Savo and his crew, or either that
  my skills have improved greatly. In either case this is the first legit race
  that you have with Savo. The checkpoints are positioned to where you
  race everybody without much traffic. Granted you're gonna go through
  some areas that have heavy traffic, but you don't stay in them long. That
  means that you're squarely racing Savo and his crew. This will be a race
  to determine who's got the best skills. There's no checkpoints that are
  tricky to get to and it's all pretty straightforward so show Savo those
  skills first hand that he's had trouble stopping so far.

- The traffic actually lightens up in this race. You're back in Los Angeles,
  thank god........if you're like me then you know the shortcuts all over this
  place, and they're going to come in handy for this race. This race is yet
  another any direction race. Start off by heading towards the checkpoint
  batch with the white circles. To get to them first keep heading forward
  on the road you start on until you see the first off ramp on your right.
  The first checkpoint here will be on that can be hit from both sides. The
  second one will be to your right and have an off ramp to go on. Take the
  off ramp until you come across the third and final checkpoint for this
  batch. Now immedieately after you clear it hit the brakes and turn around
  to see an off ramp just to your left. Take it and it'll take you into oncoming
  traffic. When you come across the first off ramp on your left take it and
  it'll put you out onto the streets and into another batch of three check
  points. After you've cleared this three it's up to you where you go from
  there. This place is the only race that has rain on it so yo uhave to deal
  with poor traction. Just remember how you dealt with it on the previous
  tracks on you'll be fine. I've started you off on the fastest and greatest
  direction I found, now go to the rest and then finish this race to go to the
  final race with Savo. It's time to show him that's he's truely nothing at all.

- This is it.........the final race.......can you handle it? I've got the confidence
  that you can. You've made it this far so finish the job. This is the longest
  race in the game with you driving all over Los Angeles. It's a straight
  forward race with heavy traffic, but no cops or rain. All you have to worry
  about is the traffic and Savo and his crew at there full 100%. All I can say
  is you have to have the skills to win this one. Use any and all shortcuts.
  Time to become one of the few that have truely beaten this game. Win this
  race and you'd of defeated the hardest racing game around. Don't
  disappoint me now. Take Savo down.

- You finally did it and have become the new champion. You got yourself
  Savo's sweet ass ride and the respect that you well deserve. Only thing
  is.......you notice that your game still isn't complete. You're missing some
  few percent to become a total 100% complete. What did you do wrong?
  Nothing.........to finish this game off once and for all it's time to enter the
  Arcade Mode.


8) Arcade Mode

- You've beat Career Mode and are now pretty happy about yourself. I'll
  bet you look in the mirror alot now and think "Damn I'm good!". Well
  you finally notice you're just at 84.6% completed. What did I do wrong?
  Did I miss something? Hey no worries alright.......like I said......you've
  earned my respect by now by defeating Savo and becoming a fellow
  World Champion. You're no longer the little shrimp that I once knew at the
  beginning of this guide. To get your well deserved 100% you have to
  enter Circuit Mode in Arcade Mode and get first place on each track
  there. That's the only way to finally get 100% completion. Luckily after all
  that exprience of becoming the World Champion and a new sweet ride the
  Veloci, things are looking your way. This should be cake walk for you.
  Also just to let everyone know.......THERE'S NO TRAFFIC, COPS, BAD
  WEATHER.....NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's all between you and the other
  racers in Circuit Mode.

- Los Angeles -

- Gotta start somewhere, and what better place than here?


- LA Turismo -

- Ok......now I'm guessing you're using the Veloci.......I know I am. This race
  is simple. Just go through the checkpoints as they appear just like any
  other race you've been through. Now the only difference is that there's
  laps. Yep, you're starting lap races. Now there are only 2 laps for this race.
  If you are using the Veloci then this gonna be an embarassment. I finished
  the whole race before any of the other cars finished one lap. I'm expecting
  the same from you. No worries on this race.

- River Raid -

- Me and the Veloci......we make a great pair........as well you and the Veloci
  too. Another easy race. Don't you wish it was like this during Career
  Mode? 3 Laps on this one. No worries on this race.

- Runoff -

- 3 Laps of easyness. No worries here. Just get it over with to raise your
  percentage.

- Arrivals & Departures -

- All I really did was just make sure my favorite song was playing while I
  gave the computer a spanking. 2 Laps of no competition on this one. I do
  have to say that the computer is trying to get better. They at least learned
  the burnout technique now. No worries here.

- Beverly Thrasher -

- Maybe I should go easy on the computer? Nah. 2 Laps of laughter on
  this one. After you've won this one you get the LA Cop car. No worries
  for this race.


- Paris -

- Maybe some competition will rise up? I don't think so........nothing can
  handle my Veloci , or your Veloci either.


- Freefall -

- 3 Laps on this one. I'll be damned if they didn't keep with me in the
  beginning. Maybe they actually want to start winning? No worries on this
  race.

- Louvre Launch -

- I wonder if I'll ever have to use the Nitros to catch up with people. 4 Laps
  that go by real fast. No worries on this race.

- Tourist Trap -

- Remember the time when you had to use a Nitro Boost to clear a big 
  jump? That's why I love the Veloci......no boost needed to clear them.
  3 Laps to deal with on this one. No worries on this race.

- Arc De Trioumph -

- Sometimes you have to slow down in order to get checkpoints. 3 Laps
  of never ending fun with this one. No worries on this race.

- Necro Modellista -

- What the hell???? I said there'd be no damn rain!!!!!! .........Ah what does
  it matter? With this car they still can't keep up with me or you! 3 Laps of
  splashtasic mayhem. No worries on this race.

- Evening Mass -

- Too bad the rain doesn't affect me underground since that's where you'll
  be racing alot of the time. You'll earn the Paris Cop Car on this race since
  it's the last one. No worries on this race.


- Tokyo -

- It's coming down to the end now..........soon you'll have your 100%
  completion of the game.


- Shinjuki Speedway -

- Enough of the rain already......it's not like it's gonna stop me from winning!
  3 Laps of wide spaces to nitro boost in if you want. No worries on this
  race.

- Ouroboros -

- A race in the river.......least wise it stopped raining. 3 Laps of smooth
  sailing on this one. No worries on this race.

- Sonic Waves -

- Was it meant to be this easy, or is it just me? Oh well.....3 Laps of no
  probs. No worries on this race.

- Tribulation -

- *yawns* 3 Laps of long stretches. No worries on this race.

- Hangtime -

- *watches Cartoon Network while letting you finish off the race* 3 Laps
  of high jumping, may need to boost on the first jump. No worries on this
  race.

- Clouded Vision -

- *changes the channel to the Playboy channel. :D Closes the door while
   you finish this race* 2 Laps........no worries........

- Bullet Train II -

- ZZzzzZZZZZzzzzzzzZZZZzzzz. You've finally unlocked the Tokyo Cop
  Car, got 100% completion, and above all else...........the fastest car in the

  mastered this game now. Go forth and brag to your hearts content.
