Ten Tips For You To Get Started in Need for Speed Most Wanted

#1: Put nitrous on your car as soon as you can (after beating Sonny-- Blacklist #15). Nitrous is the best performance upgrade you can have as it allows you to more quickly recover from clipping a wall or hitting another car.

#2: If you hit a civvies’ car or truck (excluding tractor-trailers), 19 times out of 20 the vehicle will spin out right. The other 1 time the vehicle will spin out left and then come back right. So, when you hit a civvies, Always dodge left.

#3: Learn when to take a hit. Sometimes dodging traffic will hurt worse than hitting the other car. This is especially true on narrow bridges or exit ramps, where dodging may cause you to clip a wall and spin out. Turn down "World Detail" in your advanced video options to get rid of lots of extraneous junk on the roads and minimize the hits you do have to take.

#4: Don't try to complete every pursuit milestone as you play. Do the photo tickets and one or two other milestones (such as Pursuit Evasion, which is easy to earn) as needed to advance. Later in the game, when you're running long pursuits for Blacklists one, two and three, you'll earn the earlier milestones as you earn the current milestones. For example, while you're earning 850,000 Bounty for Razor's milestone, you'll also earn all the other Bounty milestones from previous racers. While you're running roadblocks and spike strips for Bull, you'll complete all previous Roadblock and Spike Strip milestones.

#5: Learn your engine's sweet spot and get perfect launches on every race. Perfect launches are especially important in drags, so stick with one or two cars as your primary racers and learn how to get perfect launches. Follow a perfect launch with some nitrous to get an early lead.

#6: If you are in a 2x2 starting position for a race, you will always be in back. If you get a perfect launch in this situation, immediately aim for the gap between the front two cars. Otherwise you'll waste your perfect launch by bumping the car in front of you.

#7: Handling is more important than Acceleration and Acceleration is more important than Top Speed. Keep that in mind when choosing a car. Most courses won't allow you to race at top speed because of all the curves and turns, so keeping your car off the wall is more important than flying through at 200+ mph.


#8: Learn how to use N2O properly. You don't want to hoard nitrous, because it recharges quickly, so there's no use in "saving" it until later. On the other hand, you don't want to use it all up and keep it empty--you should always have some reserve to help you out of a tight spot and you'll want a full meter when approaching a speedtrap or the end of a race. Overuse of nitrous also leads to out-of-control driving, which ultimately slows your average speed. Use your nitrous wisely and it will serve you well.

#9: Practice "driving with the map". Racing by following the barriers isn't enough. You don't want to be surprised by a sudden 135-degree turn or a 180 loop. Glance at the mini-map every few seconds so you'll know what's ahead. The mini-map will also show you upcoming Speedtraps and tollbooths in those races.

#10: Always be sure to have some cash on hand or a Get out of Jail Free marker in case you get busted. Get two cars in your garage as quickly as possible, so you can keep racing if one gets impounded. Â
