From the makers of the hit Need for Speed Underground series, Need for Speed Most Wanted challenges players to become the most notorious and elusive street racer. Combining illicit street racing and tuner customization with the intensity of strategic police pursuit that surpasses any Hollywood-style chase scene, Need for Speed Most Wanted will be on every gamer's 'must-have' list this holiday season. Out-race rivals, evade cops and exploit hundreds of miles of open road as gamers make their way up the Blacklist." This game was made using the PC-version of the game. Don't worry, the game is the same on other consoles. The only difference between you and me might be that I'm using the Black Edition of the game, which features some extra stuff. Next to that, this game would be hard to describe step-by-step. Police actions are random, traffic is random, what the opponents do is random etc. etc. Just keep trying, and you'll get there. ============================================================================== Race Types [MW.03.01] ============================================================================== Alright, I'm not just discussing race types here, but also some objectives you get for the milestone-challenges. Bounty: During a pursuit, get your bounty up high. Destroy things, immobilize police cars etc. etc. The longer the pursuit takes place, the faster your bounty will race, but the more aggressive the police will react. The easiest way to gain bounty is to gain a level in heat, save your game, get another level etc., until you reached heat level 5. Then save and go out to get a bounty of 2 million in 5 minutes or so. Circuit: Several laps of racing. Try to be first. Cost to State: During a pursuit, make as much damage as you can. Drag: Yes, the Need for Speed: Underground dragging is still around. I never liked it, but that's not the point. You need to shift manually for this. You start by accelerating. Try to make the pointer go green, that's for the perfect start. When a green (or blue) arrows appears on your screen, shift up. I suggest using turbo right at the start to get ahead, and then just shift and look ahead. Infractions: Be a bad guy. Get infractions by doing stuff that aren't allowed (crashing into cops, destroying stuff etc.) and then evade the police. You can get infractions for: Speeding - Just drive too hard. Excessive Speeding - And keep that up. Reckless Driving - And going even faster than above. Note that for all these three things, it depends on your car. For example, in the beginning the speeding infraction can be "achieved" by going 110 MPH, but later on it's 150 MPH. Ramming a Police Vehicle - Easy to do when the pursuit starts. Hit & Run - Hit a vehicle and evade the police. Damage to Property - See that tree? Vroom! Resisting Arrest - When they try to bust you, avoid it. Driving off Roadway - Parks, shortcuts... they all count. Lap Knockout: You play this against 3 other racers. You race 3 laps, and you need to make sure you're not last. The one that finishes a lap last, is knocked out. The one that remains after 3 laps is the winner. Photo Ticket: Get yourself a photo ticket, but driving too fast. Pursuit Time Challenge: Get into a pursuit and make it last a certain amount of time. Start with a low heat, and move your way up. Starting with a high heat is suicide, especially with objectives like 9 minutes. Pursuit Evasion: Shake of the cops in a certain amount of time. This is very easy in career. Get a car with a heat of 1, in the Blacklist select "Bounty" and select the very first location. Straight ahead of you is a Pursuit Breaker. Drive into that and it's all done in 12 seconds ;) Roadblock: The police will set up roadblocks. You need to crash/pass through them, and then evade the police. Speedtrap: A spin-off of the photo ticket. You race against 3 others, and you need to go from A to B. You'll pass photo boots, and the one that passed those with the highest speed wins. When the first racer finishes, the score of the others will go down until they finish. Spike Strip: The same as the Roadblock challenge, but with spike strips. Slowing down time will help a lot here. Sprint: Go from A to B, and be the first. Tollbooth Challenge: Much like a sprint, but without any opponents. You just pass through tollbooths to gain time, and the police often bugs you. Trade Paint: Ram the car of the opponent. ============================================================================== Career Mode [MW.04.01] ============================================================================== * Once again, I can't possible make a walkthrough out of this - you just need skills. Just imagine it - "turn left, turn right, straight ahead". * The question markers are RANDOM! I just listed them like this. It doesn't mean the first marker is always the pink slip. * YES! THEY ARE RANDOM! * The note above is just to make sure you got that ;) * To build up a huge rapsheet, all you need to do is work on it as fast as you can. Before you even beat Blacklist Rival #15, just enter a pursuit that lasts over 30 minutes. The heat will never get too high, and it'll make life so much easier when you're aiming for 100%. Obviously, not all records can be broken yet (avoiding helicopters etc.), but it's a start. Especially the record of having a pursuit that lasts longer than 30 minutes is almost too easy with a maximum heat of 1. * Another way to beat a lot of records, is by hiding into a spot the police will never reach; - Bus stop: Somewhere on the map is a bus stop. It's a building that has glasses on every side, and you can drive into it. You can ride up to another platform, and the police will never bust you. At higher heat levels they will see you, though. - Baseball field: For some reason, they'll see you - but not trace you here sometimes. - College campus: Campus is pretty much a giant circle with a cross in the center. One part of that cross is the parking lot, where there is a hiding spot. But the important part is te campus 'walkway' The road starts at the main entrance with the statue in front. Behind that the road forks into two parallel parts, the left of which is the longest, running through the campus dorms or something. Nothing new there. Police cars rarely follow you through the dorms, and when they spawn again, they will spawn at the road running underneath it. - College campus 2: Same as above - there is also a jump here. Drive up to it, with the cops close behind. When you are about to make the jump, reset your car. The cops will take the jump, but you'll stay there. Just make sure the police makes the jump, or you'll be busted instantly. When the police is using choppers, this is even more perfect - as long as you don't move, the chopper will stay above you and not lose any fuel. The police cars will never get to you. * Choppers can crash into pursuit breakers too (like a donut), causing even more damage than it would cause already. * When your car hits some spike strip, you'll get busted 99% of the time. Reset your car, and the tires will be brand new. If the cops weren't behind you too close, you can start driving again and not get busted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Prologue [MW.04.02] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Present Day... Challenging Blacklist Rival #15 You are going to ride against Razor, blacklist rival #15. If you lose, you'll lose your car. Better not lose eh? The computer will race the first part, but you'll have to do the last part yourself. Well... not really. Your car is leaking oil, and the game switches back into time. Six days ago... Entering Rockport City You are entering the city, and race against another person. The police stops you, and is planning to take your car. Lucky for you, they have to go. Sergeant Cross leaves a tiny little scratch on your car to remind you of him. How nice. 4 days ago... Cruising the streets... Looking for a race You're racing against Ronnie. All of this to find yourself a nice gang to hang out with. Winning isn't hard, because Ronnie is a terrible driver. Reward: 10,000 Once you find a gang, it turns out they don't like you. You're allowed to race and stuff. And you meet Razor... You also meet Mia, who's hot. Anyway, time to race, for quite a lot of money. And it's not just money that makes it exciting, they'll also call the cops. But anyway, you'll race Toru. Win while you're at it. Reward: 10,000 2 days ago.. Building reputation, winning races... Another race, but this time against 3 others, not just one. Reward: 10,000 Present Day... Challenging Blacklist Rival #15 So it's time to race against Razor. Again. This time you start from the beginning, on your own. Good luck. It doesn't even matter though, your car is broken and it stops working after a while. Guess who's behind that. Well mister sergeant takes you with him. Things look bad, don't they? Some time later... Mia picks you up from the police station. There's not enough evidence against you. Time to get your car back from Razor. You'll have to rank up through the list and beat him. But first, we need a new car. You only have 30,000, so you'll have to pick a Lexus IS 300 (best handling, costs 27,000), a Fiat Punto (best acceleration, costs 27,000) or a Chevrolet Cobalt SS (best top speed, costs 26,000). Whatever you like. I suggest picking the Cobalt SS, because it's the fastest. If you happened to have Need for Speed: Underground 2 installed, you can also buy the fourth car. I assume you don't have it installed (or on your memory card, for that matter). So, drive there ;p Mia will explain how the blacklist works, and some other things. Mobile Messages ============================================================================== ***Voice (After you got your own car) From: Mia Subject: I'll meet you there. Hey, it's me.

Unique Performance Upgrades: Brake Mobile Messages ============================================================================== ***Text (After the first race) From: Rog Subject: Working your way up the Blacklist. Get to the top of the Blacklist & take Razor down. The Blacklist is reached from your Safe house & your in-game engage system. It keeps track of your progress & what's needed to challenge a rival. How? RACES - 2 ways: enter by driving to the flag icons on the map and use the engage mechanic OR bring up the Blacklist, enter the Races page & select a race. Either way, you're good to go. MILESTONES - Reach Blacklist rival will make you prove you can handle the heat before they race you. View the milestones by brining up the Blacklist & entering the Milestones page. BOUNTY - Your bounty level indicates how wanted you are by the police, and affects your notoriety with Blacklist members. It increases by completing milestones, for every second you are in a pursuit - higher heat levels increase it more quickly - and if you happen to immobilize any police vehicle during a pursuit. Your bounty only increases if you get away from the police. You can start a pursuit by accessing the Bounty page on the Blacklist.*** ***Text (After the first pursuit) From: Mia Subject: Basic rules for evading the police. The Rockport police are always looking for street racers. Here's some advice: DISTANCE - to escape, get some distance between you & the police. Until you're out of their sight, you can't get away. Take a route where you can make some quick moves & use traffic to your advantages to lose the police. Don't assume you can outrun them on the highways. HIDING - once you're out of sight, the police will be looking for you. Find a hiding spot or watch your radar & stay away from the police for a while. Hiding spots appear as blue circles on your minimap. PURSUIT BREAKERS - if the police are hot on your tail, look for the pursuit breakers that can quickly lose the police. Pursuit breakers appear as triangles on your minimap. BACKUP - whenever the cops following you are getting low on numbers, they'll call for backup. Make sure you get out of sight before the backup arrives or you'll have more police to deal with. You can see the backup timer on the pursuit bar.*** ***Text From: Rog Subject: The regs for racing the Blacklist members. Listen closely 'cause I'm only goin' over this once. Whenever you go up against a ranked racer, the pink slips go up for grabs. Now if you win, you get to choose 2 markers. Those markers represent anything from parts to favors to get you outta trouble with the cops. Included somewhere in those markers in the pink slip. You just gotta get lucky and pick the right one. Simple, right? We'll see.*** ***Voice (When finished all objectives) From: Rog Subject: Sonny's lookin' for a run. Hey man, that chump Sonny is lookin' for a run. He's still pretty fresh on the Blacklist, so now's your chance. Don't blow it.*** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Blacklist Rival #14: Vince Kilic 'Taz' [MW.04.04] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ride: Lexus IS 300 Strength: Sprint Races Bio: This crazy fool is a major heat score. Blacklist gave him the name "Taz". He hates cops and they hate him. Watch yourself around this guy. He prowls the streets of Rosewood looking for newbies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Race Wins: 4 Milestones Completed: 3 Bounty: 50,000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you got lucky enough to get the car of Sonny, I suggest using that one, and selling your old car. If you didn't win that, you better buy some upgrades for your car.

Now that you've beat Sonny, the local shops are gonna help you out with parts and upgrades to your ride. There'll be new cars to buy too, if you're interested. Remember to choose smart 'cause cash ain't always easy to earn. Plan out which cars you want and what upgrades you're gonna make. Don't assume you can buy everything or that drivin' a stock car will get you to the top.*** ***Text From: Rog Subject: Taz put out the challenge. Taz just sent me a list of the races and milestones that you need to beat to get a shot at his Blacklist position. Taz isn't new to this game so you're gonna have to prove you're ready to race him by winning races, beating the milestones challenges and racking up more bounty with the police.*** ***Text From: Rog Subject: If you need parts... Yo, it's Rog. If you need any parts or think you got enough for a new ride, head over to one of the shops. I told hem you're a friend, so they should be cool. They're on your map. Check it out.*** After first race ***Voice (After the second race) From: Rog Subject: Pursuit breakers. Hey. When you're being chased by the 5-0, take a look at your map, you'll see a bunch of icons. These are structures you can use to shake the cops off your back. You just smash into them - instant Pursuit Breaker moment. If the cops aren't damaged, they'll probably stop to provide assistance. Trust me, they work.*** ***Voice (After a few milestones) From: Mia Subject: About Razor... Hey, what's up? It's Mia. Looks like Razor's keepin' tabs on you. I guess he never figured he'd see you again. I like the idea that he'll be lookin' over his shoulder from now on. Keep layin' it down out there. I'll call later.*** ***Voice From: Rog Subject: Some info you might need. Nice run. Alright, here's the deal. Razor's left the borough. He's racin' in Rockport. To get to him, you've gotta to through the ranks of the Blacklist and clean out each area. There's three areas known as boroughs. This here is Rosewood. Camden Beach is on the coast and Rockport is right after it. Unless you have enough rep', you can't get into the next level of racin'. To do that, you've got to win. There's no second place here. Just keep plowin' through your objectives until you can challenge a Blacklist racer. I'll feed you more info as I dig it up. Later.*** ***Voice (When you finished the objectives) From: Rog Subject: You're buildin' hype. Your wins have generated some hype and got the attention of Taz. He's the next Blacklist racer. Guy's nuts and a major heat score, so watch yourself. He's waitin' for your call. Later.*** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Blacklist Rival #13: Victor Vasquez 'Vic' [MW.04.05] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ride: Toyota Supra Strength: Pursuit Length Bio: This dude's been holding it down in the #13 slot for a while now. He can't break out of his rut and no one can run him out. He's slach and dangerous but knows how to handle his ride. He'll smoke you if he gets the chance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Race Wins: 4 Milestones Completed: 3 Bounty: 100,000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Got the car of Taz? Sell it, because the car of Sonny is better. Note how there's new stuff in the shop to pimp up your ride. I'd suggest until you beat Vic, since a whole lot of fast cars are unlocked. If you simply can't manage to beat this part, you'll need to pimp your ride up anyway. Mia got a nice gadget for you. It allows you to check your rap sheet. The main goal is to get the most wanted, obviously. Anyway, some new stuff to do, and a higher bounty to get. Go gadget go!

Get, it's Rog! Here's the deal. The next Blacklist racer holds the key to Camden Beach. Smoke 'm and the next borough is yours. I'll see if I can dig something up on him. We'll talk later.*** ***Voice (After a few races) From: Mia Subject: Straight Up. Hey, it's me. Look, I'll be straight. I'm all for helpin' someone who's been cheated, but I gotta get somethin' outta this deal. You flush out the Blacklist and I'll provide you with safe houses. In return, you turn a blind eye to any side bets I put down on ya'. It's a perfect deal, you'll see. Get that Rog guy to help you out. Just don't let him figure out what's goin' on. Later.*** ***Text From: Rog Subject: Pursuit milestone info. Hey, I've got some news about those pursuit milestones. Apparently, these things are thrown out there by Blacklist racers. They're challenges to anyone who thinks they got what it takes to beat their records. If you wanna get your name out there, this is the way to do it. The more pursuit milestones you beat, the more notorious you'll become in the Blacklist.*** ***Voice From: Mia Subject: Inside scoop on the cops. It's Mia. I got some inside info on the cops that might help out. You can lose the cops by ducking out in hiding spots. You just gotta make sure you're outta their line of sight. They're scattered throughout the world. Cruise around and scout 'em out. Later.*** ***Voice From: Vic Subject: Stay out of my way and we're cool. Yeah, it's Vic here. Keep your mouth shut and listen up. It don't matter to me what you got goin' on with the other guys. You just make sure you stay outta my way. These are my streets, you got that? You just bow out when you're told and everything will be cool.*** ***Voice From: Mia Subject: Camden Beach. Hey, you're really holdin' it down out there. I can't believe how deep this thing goes. I can't wait to see what the set up is in Camden Beach. I heard the odds might be better. We'll see. Keep smokin' these guys out. Razor's out there, it's just a matter of time. I'll see ya'.*** ***Voice From: Rog Subject: Vic's ready to race. Alright, Vic's up. He's the meathead I was tellin' you about - Razor's knock around guy. He's callin' you out. Run 'm off the Blacklist. That should send a message to Razor and his crew. I'll watch your back until you get this done.*** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Blacklist Rival #12: Isabel Diaz 'Izzy' [MW.04.06] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ride: Mazda RX-8 Strength: Lap Knockout Races Bio: Izzy is definitely a chick you don't want to mess with. She knows everything there is about cars, on and off the road. She's got her ride wired tight. She comes from a long line of race fanatics. Everybody she runs with is either a cousin, friend or uncle. They all stick close do don't get on her bad side. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Race Wins: 4 Milestones Completed: 3 Bounty: 180,000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Congrats, you unlocked the next borough. If you got Vic's car, you may call yourself a lucky man too. The car is pretty damn fast, and it beats about half of the stock cars.

Unique Performance Upgrades: Supercharger Mobile Messages ============================================================================== ***Voice (In the beginning) From: Mia Subject: Nice job. Hey, it's me. I heard you got into Camden Beach. Good work. Looks like that Rog guy is pullin' his weight. I hooked you up with another Safe House closer to the coast. It saves you from havin' to drive back to Rosewood. Long way to go if the cops are on your tail. Stay alert. You don't want to get caught off guard. Later.*** ***Voice From: Rog Subject: Mia's making some cash. Hey, I've been diggin' around and it looks like that Mia chick is layin' a lot of cash on you. I don't like her. I also found out that she has a real long record. That means the cops are probably watchin' her. I'd stay away if I was you.*** ***Voice From: Rog Subject: Get more than one car. The police track your car. To make it to the top of the Blacklist you gotta have a bunch of cars to drive. When the hear on one car is gettin' high, park it. As you win races and evade the cops with another ride, the parked car will lose heat. Backup cars are also cool to have in case your favorite ride gets impounded. If you don't have a car to drive -- it's game over. You need to plan what cars you want and which cars you're gonna upgrade, or else you'll run out of money. Remember, if you're really tight for cash you can always sell one of your cars.*** ***Voice From: Razor Subject: Thanks for the wheels! It's your pal Razor. Heard you're back in; I hope you enjoyed your vacation. Maybe I should call you sweetheart now, huh? Glad to see you're a sucker for punishment though. And by the way... thanks for the ride. Be seein' ya.*** ***Voice From: Mia Subject: Stay on target. Hey. I heard you were rollin' the streets. If Rockport is anything like this, you're gonna have a lot of worked rides to take out. I hear Razor's been rattlin' a lot of people out there. I wouldn't worry about it though. He's just tryin' to throw you off your game. Stay on target. He'll pay soon enough. See ya' later.*** ***Voice From: Rog Subject: Izzy wants to go for it. It's me. Looks like that Izzy chick wants to take you on. She's tellin' everybody she's gonna kick you back to Rosewood. I wouldn't let that stand for too long. Don't underestimate her just 'cause she's a chick. That girl can drive. I'll call you after you take her out.*** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Blacklist Rival #11: Lou Park 'Big Lou' [MW.04.07] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ride: Mitsubishi Eclipse Strength: Tollbooth Time Trials Bio: This slab of Korean muscle considers himself a real ladies man. He's all show. Rumor has it; he panics around the cops and bails on races the first chance he gets. Along with that they say he has problems working the clutch so he's slow off the line. I wouldn't count on it if I was you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Race Wins: 4 Milestones Completed: 3 Bounty: 300,000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Got the car of Izzy? If you did, you're lucky again. Use it, and then head to the shop and upgrade the engine and stuff. Because you beat Izzy, you got quite some goodies unlocked. If you also got the car of Vic, keep that, and sell any other car for hard cash.

Unique Performance Upgrades: Tire Mobile Messages ============================================================================== ***Voice From: Rog Subject: Nice job finishing Izzy. Guess Izzy's racin' days are over. Keep burnin' 'em up. I'll catch you later.*** ***Voice From: Mia Subject: Cross has your file. Hey, it's me. I heard that cop, Cross, is takin' a strong interest in you. He drives a Corvette C6, so watch for it. His Street Racin' Unit's on the look for you. If you see those guys, don't let them surround you. They travel in packs of three and always try to box you in. Trust me, that's how they took me out. I'll let you know if anything else comes up.*** ***Text From: Rog Subject: Use pursuit breakers wisely. By now I'm thinkin' you're using the Pursuit Breakers to ditch the cops. Here's the deal on gettin' the most outta the Pursuit Breakers. Don't use 'em if you don't need to. You might get a few laughs by makin' the donut fall down, but save it for when the cops are on your tail and you need some breathing room, or when you're tryin' to lose the last one before backup arrives. Learn where the police are in the world and plan your route so that you drive by as many of 'em as possible. When you get to the Pursuit Breaker make sure you got a lot of cops close by you. Makes no sense if they're way behind or in front of you. If you time it right you can get 'em all with one Pursuit Breaker.*** ***Text From: Rog Subject: Speedtrap race pointers. Speedtrap racing is a little different than other types of races, gettin' across the finish line first doesn't determine the winner. The goal is to get the highest total speed recorded through a series of speedtraps. You need to plan your routes to make sure you're at maximum speed when you drive past 'em. Some of the traps are gonna be at the end of a corner -- slow down so you don't hit the walls and then hit the gas quickly. Your radar detector will warn you about any upcoming speedtraps. Wen it goes off, it's usually a good time to use your nitrous for that extra boost of speed.*** ***Voice From: Rog Subject: Big Lou wants to lock a race. Alright, Big Lou wants to lock in a race. He's waitin' for you to make a move.*** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Blacklist Rival #10: Karl Smit 'Baron' [MW.04.08] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ride: Porsche Cayman S Strength: Infractions Bio: This flake calls himself "Baron". He's a rich guy from the coast. He thinks garage custom is an excuse for being broke. As far as he's concerned, "if it's not name brand, it's nothing." Go show 'm what home grown rides can do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Race Wins: 5 Milestones Completed: 4 Bounty: 500,000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The shops now have more performance upgrades, so boost your car. I suggest to wait with a new car, because Baron has a very fast Porsche. If you're not lucky enough to win it, you can always but it. But that's for later.
