I beat no 1! I have a Golf (my first car), Mustang, Gallardo, Corvette, Viper, Aston Martin and the M3, all maxed out! I used the method of resetting the game when I've been busted, so I have no wanted strikes. I've been doing the challenge mode now, and have done about 45 of the races.

Is it me or is the game easy?

I am #8 and it's been easy getting there, I hope it gets harder. I only have 6 cars because that's all I need. Bought two and won the rest.

Mustang was the best buy, I love it!!

Man the cop chases are just so hard now. The SUVs that ram you ruin it. They just clip me and then I'm sitting on top of them and cant move and get busted. Hard to avoid them.
I'm trying to get the milestones to beat #2 but I cant do it the cops are just soooooooo friggen hard.
I've got a top level Corvette C6 with all ultimate stuff on it and most of the backroom parts too but it gets slammed big time by the SUVs.
At least the game is taking its time and not being a 5 minute game like Underground 1 and 2.

I need one more Milestone and about 5 more races before i get to Challenge Number 1 guy. I can make it as far as 12 minutes before getting nailed by the coppers. I have 4 cars. GT40, Gallardo, Elise and the SLR. To challenge number 2 took me quite sometime. Its getting harder

yeah, the black list people are easy but im having a bit of trouble with the cops...well more so the spike strips. my bounty gets up and ive destroyed heaps of cars i just need to get away. i dodge a spike strip, then a road block, then all of a sudden anoth spike strip pops up with no warning on the radio. usualy im sideways goin over it before i even see it.

I finally finished it last night, #1 is easy as... its just the Milestones that are the headache. And I thought the ending was predictable.

Hi, I'm Josie Maran and I play Mia in Need For Speed Most Wanted.

Make sure you do ALL your racing in the game, and on the streets drive safely and responsibly, and wear your seatbelt.

so i got the game today, and after mucking around with the graphics, (which i shouldnt have too :angryfacesmileything: ) it now runs fairly smoothly. my only gripe is that i cant figure out to turn out that image blur crap that happens when you go fast. it took me forever to figure it out in underground 2. does anyone know how to turn it off?

and aside from that, the game isnt particularly difficult as of yet. just tedious.

One thing about this game I'm quite dissapointed with is that you can't be the cop. Most of the others you could be.

Someone here said you could :

Finally finished the game. It unlocked 2 more cars and a couple more tracks it says. If you make it to number 1 on all the cops lists then there is something else unlocked too.

That BMW M3 GTR is rather slow compared to my Cayman S.

You obviously didn't get the Carrera GT then, wooooooooweeeeeeeeeee, now thats what i call fast the quickest I seen was about 360 something and it still had legs lol but no road, maybe need to do a NT version haha.

It took me a little over a week in between work and sleep and some other boring stuff and to top it off I actually beat Razor in reverse, YES I WON IN REVERSE HAHAHAHAHA. You know the last bend of the sprint race well i even slowed to stay on the raod and not crash into the barrier but it still took me up and spun me to the right into the barrier, I had just enough of a gap to reverse the car oiver the lineand our front bumbers were in line lol.

I have the IS300, Mustang GT, CLK 500, Viper SRT10, Cayman S, Aston Martin DB9 racer all won and then for the last race wanted the Carrera so i spent some extra time building up cash to build it FULL SPEC. Dont you just wish everytime you walked into your garage you had you had your pick for real, I know I do mmmmmmmmmm CarreraAaAaAaA

However, after the final race you have to outrun the cops, ALL OF THEM FFS, has anyone done it and what are the tricks?????? coz right now Im gettin done big time.I usually manage to get away for a while then they just full on blitz me with everything.

Suggestions PLEASE

Dude! Same! I only got as far as the safehouse twice but they managed to nick me before I could reach the safehouse. It gets just too bloody hard, and I can only get two or three tries in before it frustrates the hell out of me and I just shut the game down.

I've only started on the Challenge series recently.

As for the Carrera GT, how sweet it is! I just sold a few cars I didn't need, bought the Carrera GT, changed the rims and did all the peformance upgrades and beat Razor in every single race by a massive margin, but the game's programmed that way anyway.

I wish I could use the Carrera for the last pursuit though. I can't handle the M3's handling...

In the last stage where you have all the cops after you, head for the docks and only 1 car follows you in. Just drive around there chewing up time and after 5 mins MIA calls and tells you about a bridge you have to jump. Make your way to the bridge and nitro over it.

I got the black edition and I cant mod the M3 GTR either. Only customise the look. Horrid car.

Yep yep, although its fun wrecking the cops cars and evading the blocks, finally did it this morning and your right after about 5 minutes she tells you about the bridge.

As for the safehouses dude their aren't any lol Mia tells you this in her message, i think thats why you don't quite get their lol. I had a bounty in the last pursuit of $2.45 mill.

Oh and to let you know I got the Carrera up to 374, then another corner came along lol.

YES!!! Done!

Ok, the last pursuit. The best way to do it is to head towards the old bridge and once you get to the area, waste a bit of time and keep running away from the cops. It's on the other side of the city so it'll take you a good 3 mins just to get there. I can attach a map of the city with the location marked because you can't use your map in the last pursuit and it's pretty hard trying to evade level 6/7 cops and figure out which way to go.

Now I can go back and finish all the other races, which should be a breeze in the Carrera!

As for top speed, I got a Murcielago up to about 396 but I need a long stretch of road to do it. The Carrera tops out at 388-389 with all the ultimate upgrades and all Junkman parts.

Hey guys I'm still on blacklist #3, man the milestone challenges are getting tough as hell.
My Corvette and Viper are fully maxed out though but too much wheelspin when taking off makes it hard to get out of sticky situations with the pigs.

im up to blacklist number 8 now....

ive bought:

a Golf GTi,
an eclipse,
a Mustang
and a Monaro.

ive pink slipped a:
Golf GTi,
RX8
Eclipse
and the Cayman S.

the Monaro, stang and cayman are all at similar spec levels. the pursuits are getting pretty tedious though.

i started on the challenge series and did the first 5. then i scrolled to the end. and you attempt the last challenge.

you are in a Camaro and have to get 500 000 bounty points and escape from all the SUV things. after about 14 or 15 attempts, i finally got it but smashing though a servo ditching the last suv and hiding in the hiding spot behind it. the adrenalin was pumping.

one problem i have found though is, the massive amounts of wheelspin you get in highly modded cars. it makes it hard to escape from situations where the cops have surrounded you and stuff. its all good. im on track to get the DB9, Murcielago and the Carrera.
