| 2. About me 2AME |
--------------------------------------------------------
Ok, guys and girls my name is Buica Laurentiu, 18 years
old, from a small town in Romania, called Dragasani.
I'm a huge PC fan so I'm going to write only about the
PC version of Need For Speed Most Wanted. This is my first
ever FAQ created so I wish this is going to be a bang on
any FAQs sites. I wish to state that I'm not going to answer
any stupid questions about this game on consoles because
I don't ow a console, they're expensive, plus the consoles
have poorer graphics than the PC. I also wish to state
that I'm a fan of driving,sports,FPS,strategy and action
games but I hate RPG's.
So I wish you the best and let's go on with this FAQ.
So, that's me.
Oh, by the way at the time I'm writing this FAQ I'll be still
in school, being overcrowded with homeworks, playing computer
games(because I don't just play NFS MW, which is my favourite,
but I also play a couple more games, I can't wait for POP 3 to
come out but NFS MW is a bang all over the world, but I can't
do races for because I still have to write this FAQ, have a
social life and study for my end of semesters exam, plus I only
have 2 weeks of holiday on Christmas/New Years so I'll spend them
wisely not studying(Because my exams will be over by the holiday), but
I'll play these games and write my NFS MW FAQ.
What's good for me, is that I don't owe any consoles and I'll not
be in the position of starting my console, playing the game, then turning
it off and writing the FAQ in Notepad on the PC. Thanks, God that I'm so
lucky.

| 5. Introduction in NFS World 5NFS |
--------------------------------------------------------
Ok, guys EA Games surprised us every year with their NFS games. Since
2003 they've released the Underground series which featured "illegal"
street racing that took place at the cover of the night and these
2 games featured mean tuner imports ranging from European pussy cats
to Asian and American wild tigers and muscle cars, because the whole
purpose of these 2 games was to tune up your ride with the best&
fastest parts to become the Ultimate Street Racer. These 2 games where
just a little something to add to the fame of the recent movie releases
in that period, "The FAST and The Furious" and "2FAST - 2FURIOUS" that
featured also pimped out japanese import tuners with highly turbo-charged
engines and NOS systems.
Back in 2002 they released NFS HOT PURSUIT 2, the sequel of NFS 3, which
featured an awesome collection of cars ranging from street cars to famous
expensive exotics with no customization features.
But now in the fall of 2005 we will be blessed with the new NFS. This
16th November release will be a bang in this year game production. Action-
thrilling illicit street racing + Hollywood-style high speed police chases
will be the order of the day, because this game will take place between
sun shine and sunset, for you to become no.1 again.
And yes, your not seeing things. YA, high speed police chases are back from
NFS HOT PURSUIT 2, now with highly improved arsenal and tricked-out rides and
lots more.

| 6. About the game 6AGM |
--------------------------------------------------------
********************************************************
* 6A. Game knowledge 6AGK *
********************************************************
To understand this year new game you'll have to understand some
things about it. And I quote:
racing permeates the air. 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.
To become the most wanted racer, players must build up their street cred and
Rap Sheet with gripping, white knuckle, head-to-head races with the top
drivers on the streets, as well as pull daring, evasive moves to out-run and
out-fox the cops that patrol the open road. Players can manage their heat or
utilize a number of strategic tactics to keep the cops off their tails as they
leave their rivals behind to suck their exhaust fumes.
Need for Speed Most Wanted also features a variety of the hottest cars that
range from tuners to super cars. You can customize your ride to race against
any class of vehicles. The streets will be your playground this Fall.>
End of the quote. So that you succed in NEED FOR SPEED MOST WANTED you'll
have to know some of it's new key features that EA implemented this year.
Key Features:
+ New cinematics sequnces,characters look like reality all filmed with
high speeds cameras that directors use in Hollywood movie sets combined
with new tecniques researched by EA that are edited on computers make
game characters look like in their real life.
If you don't thrust me just go to www.gamespot.com and enter the
NFS Most Wanted screenshots section and see the female character
interpreted by Josie Maran and tell me your opinions.
+ An all brand new feature that gives you the ability to slo-mo time
to out-wit the cops and avoid all kinds of crashes.
It is called "Speed Breaker" and makes your car heavier but more
controllable in thight situations. It's something like the slow motion
power in POP series.
+ Open Road, Open World: Rule the streets as the most notorious street
racer in various regions that include edgy industrial and urban
environments. In the game, the environment can be a friend for a foe.
Players will master short-cuts as well as use the traffic and destructible
environments to their advantage.
+ All-New Gameplay: Need for Speed Most Wanted features new and exciting
gameplay that incorporates strategic cop pursuit and skill-based evasion
techniques with illicit street racing.
+ Visual Customization: Whether gamers are trying to lose the cops or they
just want to pimp their ride, Need for Speed Most Wanted offers extensive
visual customizations.
+ Blacklist: As players enter the world of illicit street racing, they must
go up against the best street racers on the scene to earn respect and rise
to the top of the Blacklist.
+ Rap Sheet: Players will build up their Rap Sheet with record breaking
times, street challenges and out-foxing an escalation of police vehicles,
tactics and technology.
+ Performance Tuning: Can't compete against a sports car? Head to the
safehouse and tune up your ride to race against any class of vehicles.
+ Next-Gen Graphical Features: Need for Speed Most Wanted for the next
generation console delivers the next level of graphical excellence in video
games. Utilizing graphical techniques including normal mapping and real-time
lighting, the graphical experience is incomparable to any racing game
on the market.
The basic keyboard controls required to play the game are:
In Game Controls:
Steer Left Left Arrow
Steer Right Right Arrow
Throttle Up Arrow
Reverse Down Arrow
Shift Up Shift
Shift Down Left Ctrl
E-brake Space
Speedbreaker Right Ctrl
Nitrous Alt
Camera C
Look Back L
Enter Race / Shop Enter
World Map M
Read SMS Tab
Blacklist B
Reset Car R
Pause Esc
Menu Controls
Highlight Menu Items Up, Down, Left and Right Arrows
Cycle Choices / Move sliders Up, Down, Left and Right Arrows
Select / Go to next Screen ENTER or left mouse click on selection
Return to previous screen ESC
Take Screenshot F12
(Screenshots are saved to My Pictures in the My Documents directory)
But I have done some modifications on the controls because the default
ones give me a little headaches and because when I first played UG 2 I
disliked using Left Alt to shoot the nitrous and Shift to shift up in
drag races so then and now I'm using these controls: shift up - V,
Nitrous - N and Speedbreaker - Right Alt. It's much more easy to use
these controls cause it's painful to use LAlt for nitrous and Right Ctrl
for Speedbreaker having to change from one another and the other way round,
but when I played UG 2 I remapped the shift up key with B but now I can't
do it anymore cause B stands for Blacklist.
After the last 2 games had some of the coolest characters this new game is
set to bring out new characters played by different stars.
So here's the character list:
I.
1. Mia Townsend(interpreted by Josie Maran)
- All Mia will tell you about herself is that she loves to win and hates
to lose. Find out more about her when you make eye contact with her at 180
MPH.Mia is a drop dead gorgeous woman who has, against the better judgment
of her father, joined into the "Family Business" where she’s proven herself
to be hard working, determined and assertive.
Mia is the first women in her family to actually join the business and
in doing so has struggled both at work and at home to prove she can do the
job just as good as her father and cousin’s.
What is this family business?
2. Sgt. Cross
- one mean male(black) police officer that want's to put out
illicit street racing in the city of Rockport.
3. Unknowed Character
- a female officer escorting sgt. Cross is seen in the cinematics
and by the looks of it shes's pretty tough.
II. "BLACKLIST" Characters
Blacklist No.1 - Clarence Callahan "Razor"
Ride: BMW M3 GT-R
Strength: Everything
Bio: Razor rocketed to the top of the Blacklist using your ride. Now he's
he's holding it down and rolling the streets like he owns them. He'll do
anything he can to give himself an edge. That includes messin' with your
head. Remember you can't trust anything he says.
Blacklist No.2 - Toru Sato "Bull"
Ride: Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
Strength: Sprint Races
Bio: If it weren't for Razor, Toru would still be hanging down at the docks
dreamin' of the Blacklist. This fool thinks he's got a sleeper, calls it
reverse psychology. The only thing stock on his ride is the paint. Toru
likes to keep his car mint so give him a bump when you can.
Blacklist No.3 - Ronald McCrea "Ronnie"
Ride: Aston Martin DB9
Strength: Immobilizing Police Vehicles
Bio: You know Ronnie. He's one of those rich freaks that thinks he's ghetto.
He definitely ain't from around the way. Got his car as a graduation gift
from his parents. Don't be fooled though, the guy knows how to drive. He's
been to every race school you can think of.
Blacklist No.4 - Joe Vega "JV"
Ride: Dodge Viper SRT-10
Strength: Speedtrap Races
Bio: I don't know how JV does it, man. His nights are spent in the clubs
and days on the streets. This guy's got a lot of street rep. Cops hate him
and racers want to be like him. His flash green Dodge Viper has cops
swarming around it all the time
Blacklist No.5 - Wes Allen "Webster"
Ride: Corvette C6
Strength: Escaping Pursuits
Bio: Webster's always talking about rides, performance, racers, blah, blah,
blah. Won't shut up. He's got some crazy idea that he's gonna make it big.
When he ain't street racing, he's hanging out at shops. His ride is tuned to
the max. Apparently the interior is stripped of everything that isn't
related to speed.
Blacklist No.6 - Hector Domingo "MING"
Ride: Lamborghini Gallardo
Strength: Photo Tickets
Bio: This here is Ming. He prides himself on keeping his ride looking stock.
He's fast and shreds radar traps everywhere he can. He's the straight goods.

been listening. Don't take 'm on until you're ready.
Blacklist No.7 - Kira Nakazato "Kaze"
Ride: Mercedes-Benz CLK 500
Strength: Cost To State
Bio: Kaze is crazy. What she can't conquer with skills, she demolishes
with speed. Don't let her sweet looks fool ya. She'll trash anything
she sees, including you. She's not afraid to ding her ride to put you
out of commission.
Blacklist No.8 - Jade Barrett "Jewels"
Ride: Ford Mustang GT
Strength: Drag Races

the big blocks.
Blacklist No.10 - Karl Smit "Baron"
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 a name brand, it's nothing." Go show'm what home
grown rides can do.
Blacklist No. 11 - Lou Park "Big Lou"
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 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.
Blacklist No.12 - Isabel Diaz "Izzy"
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 so
don't get on her bad side.
Blacklist No.13 - Victor Vasquez "Vic"
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 slack and
dangerous but knows how to handle his ride. He'll smoke you if he gets the
chance.
Blacklist No.14 - Vince Kilic "Taz"
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 lookin for newbies.
Blacklist No.15 - Ho Seun "Sonny"
Ride: Volkswagen Golf GTi
Strength: Circuit Races
Bio: This here is Sonny. He's dumped a whole lot of cash into his car. That
ride is worked so don't be fooled, it's a rocket. He does anything he can to
get a hold of parts before they hit the streets.
********************************************************
* 6D. Car list 6DLS *
********************************************************
Since the game was announce back in this year spring everyone
was highly enthusiastic about what cars EA will bring in Need For
Speed Most Wanted and somehow on the EA boards late this summer someone
released a shockwave about the car list. That person stated that
were announced to be over 100 cars in the game and I saw a pretty huge list,
about 174 different types of cars but I somehow knew I couldn't be true cause
it's a too big difference from 30 cars in UG2 to 174.
But after a lot of research, day by day surfing the web I found out that
yesterday, 21/10/2005 EA Games released the official NFS Car list which
featured 36+ at least a few bonus cars of the hottest cars in the world.
The only flaw I consider that EA did was the excluding of a range of
pretty good cars like the Nissan's, Honda's or not putting into the game
Ferrari's.
But this flaw it will pass cause the variety of cars in NFS Most Wanted
ranges from usual cars - tuner cars - and exotics and that's a very good
deal that EA got the licenses from a large number of Supercars.
Both European,American and Asian imports will have at least one model
on this game and also new models of cars that are released or are due to
be released are in this game.
This car list will not cover the cars that aren't in the PC version but
they are in the PSP edition cause.
I don't own a Sony PSP cause it's expensive.
Bonus cars are either pre-modified versions of stock cars, or special cars
not available during Career mode. Bonus cars can only be used in Challenge
Series, Quick Race and Online modes, with the exception of the Blacklist
member autos, which can be won from the Blacklist during Career mode.
You should try to win the pink slip of each Blacklist member's car--even if
you don't need the car, you can sell it for cash. Select one of the three
bonus markers, and, if it's not the pink slip, select another bonus marker.
You should be able to collect a lot of tuned cars this way. Some of the
higher Blacklist members (especially Webster, JV and Ronnie) have very nice
cars that can finish the game for you without any upgrades.
********************************************************
* 6E. Main Menu 6GMM *
********************************************************
The main menu of Need For Speed Most Wanted is composed from 8
sections which will have a large/small part of this section.
- Career mode: composed from 3 sections;
* Resume career
* Start new career
* Load career
This sections will be debated at the career mode walkthrough section.
- Challenge series
Challenge series is a game mode(compared with Hot Pursuit[NFSHP2]) which
consists from 69 defined challenges with the purpose of out-running the cops
and escape from them:
This game mode is made up from different races:
* Tollbooth Time Trials - Snag a ticket from a tolbooth and get to the
finish in the allowed time.
* Roadblock - Crash/pass to all roadblocks that the police will set up
then to pass this(challenge) you have to evade the cops.
* Trade Paint - Ram the cop cars then evade to pass.
* Spike Strip - Same as roadblock but now you have to pass threw spike
strips to win.
* Photo Ticket - Get some speed and bust that damn radar by reaching
a high top speed.
* Pursuit - You need to get away from the cops in a certain time.
* Bounty - During a pursuit you need to get your bounty high(destroy
things to do that).
* Cost to State - During a pursuit make as much damage as you can.
* Infractions: Be a bad guy. Get infractions by doing stuff that aren't
allowed.

********************************************************
* 6F. City overview 6FCO *
********************************************************
The following districts will be available in Need for Speed Most Wanted and
contain very characteristic streets.
- Coastal
- Rosewood
- Downtown
*********
*Coastal*
*********
1.Gray Point
In the old days this place was known for world-class fishing.
But when the fishing dried up, things went downhill fast … until
the tuners came to town. Now the hottest drivers show up to prove
they have what it takes to handle the Point.
2.Ocean Hills
If you’re looking for roller coasters and cotton candy, turn around
right now and go home. Did you hear me, clown? The park has been closed
for years, but if you bring the sickest car to the race you might have
the ride of your life.
3.Point Camden
With all the new construction around here, there are tons of obstacles
to get in your way … or to put in front of anyone on your tail. Play it
right and you can use the building boom to lower the boom on the cops,
or to blow away some fool who doesn’t know what’s up.
**********
*Rosewood*
**********
1.Rosewood Center
If you want to get noticed in a hurry, take off down Main Street …
at 100 MPH. But don’t spend too much time checking out white picket
fences ‘cause The Man’s going to be on your tail faster than you can
say "Hello, Officer."
2.Campus
There’s a lot of crazy driving around the school, so use your skills
to prove you aren’t some joyriding Frat Boy. If you’re good, you can
teach the competition some things they never learned in the classroom.
That’s right, who’s the teacher now?
3.Golf Course
This ain’t the place for a quiet round of 18. Nope, this is where you
come to rip up the fairways and tear up the greens, tuner-style. And if
the regulars start chasing you with 9-irons, put the pedal to the metal
and shout out "it’s all good."
**********
*Downtown*
**********
1.Westside
It’s all about big money on the Westside, and the cars are no exception.
Those jokers in the financial district think they rule the Universe.
Well, they’re living in a dream world, baby. Wake ‘em up with the roar
of your engine and the screech of burning asphalt.
2.City Center
Some folks think culture is all about fancy museums and restaurants.
Nah, culture is two tricked-out rides going head-to-head with the
beats blasting through the ozone layer. And if someone doesn’t like it,
give ‘em some earplugs and a one-way ticket home to mama.
3.Eastside
You don’t want to break down here … ever. Don’t even think about hitting
the Eastside until you trick out your ride like never before. Crazy stuff
happens here, but you’ll be alright as long as you keep blowing the doors
off anyone in your way.
You really don't need a monster PC to play this awesome game
so, here are the requirements taken of from the game's readme
file:

So here we go with the questions section. Since the the summer when all
of us wandered what NFS MW will look like now we know that cause at the time
of writing thei Q&A section the game has finally been released.
1. Q: When it's the game being released?
A: The game was released in US stores in 17th November and
will be released in Europe on 25th November.
2. Q: What it's the game like?
A: The game tends to continue the Underground seriers saga but this
time you'll play on different weather and other conditions.
It features 36 of the hottest cars new or old with cars ranging from
the old VW Golf to the new Dodge Viper. Also other NFS car are
making their appearence here and also cars that haven't been
before in NFS games.
3. Q: Could be a rival on PC for NFS MW?
A: The only game which "can be" a rival with all the NFS Franchise
from Underground to Most Wanted is Juiced but NFS MW has all
the attributes to be a great game: one heal of a good storyline,
non-boring music that doesn't make you asleep during races, way
better gameplay than Juiced, I think slightly better graphics and
a fantastic steering system way better than that in Juiced were
you couldn't take a turn very good than your car fish-tailed.
Come on people Juiced sucked at steering and can't be no match
for Need For Speed Most Wanted: Juiced sucks.
4. Q: What is "Speedbreaker"?
A: "Speedbreaker" is an all new feature introduced in the world of
driving games. "Speedbreaker" is a new effect compared with the
"Bullet Time" in MAX PAYNE and "Slowdown" in Prince of Persia
games, and I wish to state that I'm a fan of those game.
"Speedbreaker" is actually the slowmotion from POP: WW which
in NFS MW slows down time giving you the all necessary help
you'll need in taking a 90 degree turn without crashing in a wall.
Actually "Speedbreaker" slows the time so your car will be much
heavier and you'll have time to make some adjustments cornering
while in "Speedbreaker" and also is a good feature in trying to
lose the cops when you have to pass a roadblock you can use
"Speedbreaker" to see where can you dodge the roadblock.
5. Q: What is "Pursuit Breakers"?
A: It's another cool feature that allows you to use the environment
to immobilize police vehicles. In other terms you crash threw
red floating icons represented on the map with triangles and
some objects or places will break: ex. a gas station.
6. Q: What is "Cooldown"?
A: "Cooldown" mode is the mode where you'll have to seek hiding
spots which are visible on the map looking like dotted circles
where you can hide after evading the cops and you'll have to
stay still while the blue bar indicating how much the cops lost
attention in you is filled up otherwise you'll be back in a chase.
7. Q: How can I beat racer?
A: Just win more races, tune up your ride to max, win respect from
other Blacklist members by fillin your RAP-SHEET with so many
evaded pursuits and lots of bounty.
8. Q: What is that "flame" looking thing on the edge of the in-game
map?
A: That means how much "HEAT" you've got on your tail. First it
will be 1X then on the quest to be the "Most Wanted" you'll
have until 7X which means that police level 7 is after you.
Oh, and by the way if you have awesome things to show me regarding
the game, anything your savegame to see some special pimp-out rides, or
photos made from the game with interesting things like how long did took
to evade cops cause somebody sent me a picture were he had 654000 in bounty
in about 20 min when the fuzz busted him and he was so pissed that he sold
his cars. Anyway you can do that by writing to mafia2laur@gmail.com,
putting "NFS" in the subject, and by the way don't even ask me to finish
a race for you cause I'm already busy with school, writing this FAQ, playing
NFS MW and also a couple more games that right know occupies my whole
free time.
So unless you have something interesting to show me on your game, don't
bother sending me the savegame to pass a race for you.

********************************************************
* 8A. Coming to Rockport 8CTR *
********************************************************
Ok, dudes this really the big city so as always your just trying to earn
again your rep on the streets this time East coast style. Beating Eddie an
scoring Melinda wasn't enough so, what did you thought: let's give it a go
again and scoring again first places till someday a guy called Caleb with
a yucky Mustang decided to mess up with your precious Skyline and taking
it away from you. That time you seeked revenge in Bayview a large city
on the West coast earning your rep at the time of night with the help
of Rachel&Nikki to get even with Caleb. You did that to. What more do you
want?
Just kiddind. Enough with this awful chat. Let's get down to bussiness.
Since this walkthrough will cover what you have to do to beat every
racer on the Blacklist I'll tell what ride you should use to
beat that and this. If your really lucky and get the pink slip from the rival
you'll just need to put a few upgrades on those rides if not keep hold
of your money and spend them wisely cause cash ain't coming from the
sky. I also wish to state that the markers order(those with the "?") are
not always the same and may differ from one gamer to another.
Anyway Listen up closely cause I ain't gonna' say this twice:
At each blacklist members if you get their rides keep them.(Thrust me!
it will worth to do that.)
Your day has been worse since you came here.
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(Bull).
Reward: 10,000
2 days ago.. Building reputation, winning races...
Another race, but this time a circuit.
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, and 4 cars available: Lexus IS 300, Fiat Punto,
Chevrolet Cobalt SS and VW Golf GTI but having only 30,000, you can't pick
the VW Golf GTI, so 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. So just drive there,
at the safehouse; Mia will explain how the blacklist works, and some other
things.
You'll also receive several SMS messages on your engage system but I'll not
explain them them here because you'll hear/view them on each stage of
the game between one rival to another.

Blacklist 14-Vince Kilic 'Taz' [8TAZ]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
If you got lucky to get the car of Sonny, I suggest using that one, and
Keep your old car. If you didn't win that, you better buy some upgrades for
your car.
You'll see why to keep your starter car after some rivals are done.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
Got Taz's car? Keep it and do the milestones with it, because the car of Sonny
is better. Note that there's new stuff in the shop to improve your ride.
I'd suggest until you beat Vic, to put some affordable upgrades on your
Golf.
**** Movie/Cutscene****
Mia got a PDA for you. It allows you to check your rap sheet. The main

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.
Congratulations, you unlocked the next borough(Camden Beach). If you got Vic's
car, your lucky again. The car is pretty damn fast, and it beats about half
of the stock cars. Store the other cars that you have, do bounty with them
but don't sell them(you'll see why when we get to Baron).

Blacklist 11-Lou Park 'Big Lou' [8BIL]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
Got Izzy's car(I did)? If you did, you're lucky again. Use it,
and then head to the shop and upgrade the engine. Because you beat Izzy,
you've unlocked some valuable goodies. If you also got the car of Vic, keep it,
Izzy's it's better.

Blacklist 10-Karl Smit 'Baron' [8BAR]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
Got Big Lou's? If you do store it(Izzy's it's way better). Because I suppose
you made some hard cash upgrade with what you can afford Izzy's ride cause
this ride it can beat the crap out of Baron's Cayman.

Ride: Mitsubishi Lancer EVOLUATION VIII
Strength: Sprint Races
Bio: This guy hails from the lower eastside of Rockport but not rides on the
coast. He's a big fan of imports and goes out of his way to take on the big
blocks.
If you got the Porsche from Baron that's really great, cause it can beat any
other cars you've got unlocked. Keep the other cars and pick one and do
the neccesary bounty with it you'll see why when we beat Earl.

Bio: This sweet thing goes by the name Jewels. She's all about big block and
muscle. She's got a lot of mileage under her wheels do don't be tempted to do
anything stupid. She's got some serious power under the hood.
The last part is unlocked; Rockport. Now it's time to get really serious and
get your car back. If you got the car of Earl, I suggest not using it. The
Porsche Cayman S is about as good, and it's a bit of a waste of your money to
tune Earl's ride again. Just store it cause the Cayman S can Kick ass. You'll
see why I insisted to keep those cars cause after we beat Jewels you'll have a
surprise.

Blacklist 07-Kira Nakazoto 'Kaze' [8KAZ]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ride: Mercedes Benz CLK 500
Strength: Cost to State
Bio: Kaze is crazy. What she can't conquer with skills, she demolishes with
speed. Don't let her sweet looks fool ya. She'll trash anything she sees,
including you. She's not afraid to ding her ride to put out of commission.
You beat Jewels and got the Mustang? Store it and take Izzy's ride and do
all the bounty before doing the races.(You'll see way in a minute.) Anyway,
the Porsche is still the car you should use for trashing Kaze, but know
that you probably have about 300 000 in the bank it's time to upgrade
the Cayman with what you have unlocked if you didn't do it already.

Blacklist 06-Hector Domingo 'Ming' [8MIN]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ride: Lamborghini Gallardo
Strength: Photo Tickets
Bio: This here is Ming. He prides himself on keeping his ride looking stock.
He's fast and shreds radar traps everywhere he can. He's the straight goods.
Word is the goy his ride from some rich cat who talked when he should have
been listening. Don't take 'm on until you're ready.
The moment of thruth! I know you've got Kaze's car now do the bounty again and
pay attention of what I'm saying: Now that you've got some cars unlocked take
every car in your garage strip it from it's body parts(Spoilers, rims etc) then
sell it to your safehouse and then go and buy the Aston Martin DB9. It's a
beauty isn't she? Ok serious from each of the cars that I sugessted you to
stash you'll get some money ranging from 4000 - 6500(for each car) for striping
their body parts plus half of the money of the stock car car when you sell it.
That will make you lets say about 50000 from striping their parts if you've
got all the cars(don't touch the Porsche Cayman S)+ some hard cash cause selling
all the rival's car including Kaze's and excluding Baron's plus selling your
starter car will net you 188 500.(Quite some cash).
Now it's time to buy Aston Martin DB9, cause by now probably you'll have a mere
500000 and upgrading the car will quite lose you that hard earned cash but
u can recover it quite quickly cause Ming request bang you a lot of cash and
u can kick Ming's as with your suped-up DB9.

Blacklist 05- Wes Allen 'Webster' [8WEB]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ride: Corvette C6
Strength: Escaping Pursuits
Bio: Webster's always talking about rides, performance, racers, blah, blah,
blah. Won't shut up. He's got some crazy idea that he's gonna make it big.
When he ain't street racing, he's hanging out at shops. His ride is tuned to
the max. Apparently the interior is stripped of everything that isn't related
to speed.
Wow, got this far? Then we'we got to continue. Webster is your next target
and you can do him easily with Ming's Lamborghini Gallardo, but do the
bounty's with Your bought ASTON Martin.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ride: Dodge Viper SRT10
Strength: Speedtrap Races
Bio: I don't know how JV does it, man. His nights are spent in the clubs and
days on the streets. This guy's got a lot of street rep. Cops hate him and
racers want to be like him. His flash green Dodge Viper has cops swarming
around it all the time.
If you just won the car of Webster, you are incredible lucky. It has
parts you can't get before you beat Ronnie! Store it cause The Gallardo is
your best bet again. You'll see why.

Becoming The Most Wanted [8BMW]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Razor is finally defeated. How's that? You finally got your ride back. Razor
doesn't want to give the keys, but Mia takes them. And what a surprise!
She's a cop!
But that was obvious cause, Cross said he got your number from someone
who needed his car out of impound, Mia told you he has something in mind
for Razor and Razor kept bugging you that your a snitch and everybody
else goes to jail cause of you.
Razor gets busted, but Mia throws you the keys and you drive off. It's time
for the final showdown. You can't evade the police, so just keep the pedal to
the metal and make use of thos Pursuit Breakers it gives you a few moments
of silennce against all police cars from all levels. Anyway, Cross calls you
after a few seconds and tells you he put every Blacklist member in jail with
your help and you'll have to surrender.(Be serious). Go, BMW, Go cause you'll
need all the luck you can get to get by those nasty spike strips and
get away from those undercover Corvette's.
After 5 minutes Mia will call, and tell you the only way to escape is by
jumping over the old bridge. Get on the highway, and find the path leading
there. Then use nitro, and make the final jump.
You escaped and won! You're the most wanted in Rockport. You'll unlock a car
or two, and the game tells you you can still do the Challenge mode or get
higher on the Rap sheet list.
After the credits Cross will log in, and raise your "most wanted" status, so
the whole country knows about it. Need for Speed: Most Wanted 2? I'm pretty
sure you'll see that soon enough.
Good job, you've passed another NFS game. And don't forget to save manually,
or you'll have to do the pursuit over again.

| 9. EA TRAX(music) 9MUS |
--------------------------------------------------------
OK, music! A gret addition of the EA Games/EA Sports since 2002. Since then
EA delighted us with any quality music but hey Unless you have to listen
Juiced music or play like a dumb-ass Street Racing Syndicate, which by the
way it's a pritty good game, but the steering blows it away you'd better
NFS Most Wanted music.
Unlike most games, the music in Need for Speed Most Wanted is fully
interactive. Custom-designed to adapt to the players' every move,
the music highlights the intensity of the chase, telling you when
you're about to get away... or about to get busted.
The complete licensed song list includes:
Avenged Sevenfold - "Blinded In Chains"
Bullet For My Valentine - "Hand Of Blood"
Celldweller feat. Styles Of Beyond - "Shapeshifter"
Celldweller - "One Good Reason"
Dieselboy + Kaos - "Barrier Break"
Disturbed - "Decadence"
DJ Spooky And Dave Lombardo - "B-Side Wins Again feat. Chuck D"
Evol Intent, Mayhem & Thinktank - "Broken Sword"
Hush - "Fired Up"
Hyper - "We Control"
Ils - "Feed The Addiction"
Jamiroquai - "Feels Just Like It Should (Timo Maas Remix)"
Juvenile - "Sets Go Up"
Lupe Fiasco - "Tilted"
Mastodon - "Blood And Thunder"
Rock - "I Am Rock"
Static-X - "Skinnyman"
Stratus - "You Must Follow (Evol Intent VIP)"
Styles Of Beyond - "Nine Thou (Superstars Remix)"
Suni Clay - "In A Hood Near You"
T.I. Presents The P$C - "Do Ya Thang"
The Perceptionists - "Let’s Move"
The Prodigy - "You’ll Be Under My Wheels"
The Roots And BT -"Tao Of The Machine (Scott Humphrey’s Remix)"
So what better way to start a new day playing your favourite game
with this 25 good or bad tracks could be?
The only cheats that are available and are knowned are:
- burger king - unlocks a new challenge in "Challenge Series" menu
where you'll have to beat it if you want to tune up stock cars with
the Junkman parts to play in quick race.
- castrol - unlocks a custom Ford GT with Castrol decals in "Bonus cars"
section.

Hints & Tips................... 10HT
Our favourite part has came to life: tips about beeing the most wanted.
1. Never/ever get on the highway in a police chase unless you're aware of
your driving skills.
2. Try to use traffic to your advantage in a police chase. You'll get away
faster this way. "I once hit a minivan with my Cayman S in a police chase
at about 270 KM/H and that minivan hit the roadblock in front of me and I
was able to pass freely".
3. When in a race try to keep the speedometer pointer in the blue area for
a " Perfect Launch".
4. In a drag race try to do all perfect shifts and use your N20 safely plus
when you think you'll hit something use that almighty "Speedbreaker".
5. In a police pursuit try to make use of the Pursuit Breaker icons. Not
only they help you clear out the police but you receive additional bounty
for taking out the cops but don't waste the icons when just one squad car
is near you waste them when there are a lot of cars and secondly waste them
when you have one car on your tail and backup is nearly arriving.
6. Keep a NFS UNDERGROUND 2 savegame on your PC cause it's going to be handy
after you'll lose your BMW.(with this trick you can buy the 4th starter
car).
7. Before selling a car you got bored to play with strip all body patrs out
of it for some extra cash before selling the car.
8. Keep at least 2 or more cars in the garage (one for bounty and the other
for races) this way you can keep tracking your progress safely plus you can
switch the cars when one is to heated and also if you lose one you'll have
the other cars. You can safely own 14 stock(tuned) cars + the BMW from the
start.
9. When beeing chased make sure to know how to pass roadblocks/spike strips.
Avoid frontal collisions with the engine part of a police car and hit it
in the back plus listen to the police scanner and keep in mind wher the
spike strips are placed and when you're near them hit the Speedbreaker for
maximum accuracy in not blowing your tires to pieces plus when you
encounter a roadblock you can safely pass it by hitting the sawhorse with
the stop sign on it but make sure no other car is waiting in the back of
the sawhorse.
10. In police chases you can do all the infractions, but you have to be
caucios where and when you do them cause you don't know what's on the
corner. Anyway after beating the game if you have left something in
the Rap sheet and your not no. 1, like lifetime infractions try doing
the bounty with a car and stopping the pursuit when you've got all
infractions. Repeat this as many times as you need to get 100% in the
Rap sheet. Reckless driving infraction could be done also but you have
to be in a chase with a car that goes over 330 KM/H.

| 11. Links to NFS sites 11LS |
--------------------------------------------------------
For all the trouble that I was put writing this FAQ I wish to thanks
all NFS addicts which created quite a few Nfs fan sites:
So NFS sites are spread all over the web and from the awesome number
of these sites I choose a few which I think will make you have a good feel
about the game:
- www.nfs-planet.de(which has 3 different view of it's web pages: 1 german,
2 english and 3 russian)
- www.needforspeed.com(the official EA Games NFS Most Wanted site)
- www.nfs-action.de(which unfortunately is an all based german site but it
has a feature that the pages can be translated into english)
- www.nfs-center.de(another good german NFS site but it doesn't have a
translation feature but it has pretty good pics with cars from the game
and from the garage plus lots of other pics with characters.)
- www.freewebs.com/moparformance05(another damn good NFS "exclusive"
Most Wanted site which features a lot of pics with cars and other stuff
like police radio scanner sayings, characters profiles and their photos,
the carlist, the regions of the game with maps and photos, a lot of
videos and other cool things: You'll see.)
- www.nd4spdworld.com(a pretty mediocre nfs site)
For all the words putten in this FAQ I need it a lot of research docs,
because I couldn't come up on my own with this kind of things, and I didn't
want to copy anybody else's work for my whole fame.
So what I did was that I had to wonder the web, finding everything that had
to be found to put them in this FAQ.
- car list is the official one launched by EA at the alpha testing in
Netherlands on 18/10/2005 when EA revealed all the cars for the standard
and Black Edition games.
- the features of the cars are taken from different websites and different
automobiles magazines which features the cars top speed and acceleration.
- cheats, hints and unlockables are taken either from the game or from
different websites.
- all other aspects of the game are taken from in-game photos taken by
different websites and also from info available at certain sites.
- career mode FAQ, Challenge series game mode, and other aspects of the
game are taken from the actual game which is my actual property because
I bought the game and all things that are related with the game itself
are all property of the author of this FAQ, which in no case is a member
affiliated to EA Games or any of it's colaboratories.
I thank to all who supported me, and let me in peace to play this game,
The EA production team which did a great job( Most Wanted 2 will be next?),
I thanks again to all of you who played this game, to all those who found
cheats and various things about the game and Finally I give a warm thanks
to cheathappens and gamefaqs for posting my FAQ.
--------------------------------------------------------
| 14. THE END 14TE |
--------------------------------------------------------
Well this is the end to my wonderfull FAQ for my favourite game, Need For
Speed Most Wanted, but I hope this isn't my first and last FAQ for a game.
There will be many games that will have a FAQ but year 2006, doesn't seem
to be a very rich year in very good games, Maybe someone will think of doing
the last part of Max Payne(3) or EA will release Most Wanted 2.
Anyway I say goodbye to all of you, to all FAQs Authors and readers, to
any game completist and to all of you who love NFS MW.
But before I leave you I would to do a review of the game, cause of course
anybody will be anxious what do I think about this game, which may look
similar with NFS Underground 2 but it's not. So let's start:
NFS Most Wanted PC Review:
Gameplay: 10/10
Graphics: 9.5/10
Audio: 9/10
Story: 10/10
Buy/Rent: I would suggest you go get yourself the game;"it's awesome".
Overall: 9.6/10
