GENERAL HINTS AND PLAYING TIPS
See the Titanic: Select the Aquatica track and disable night driving and weather. Stop on the big turn after you hear a horn to see the Titanic pass by.
Stacked police cars: Enable the "All cars, all standard tracks" code. Select hot pursuit mode and the pick the El Nino. Go into the hometown and try to outrun the police until they go back to create a road block. When they do, try to get close to roadblock. If done correctly, there will be police car on top of a other one.
Easy wins with a police car: Choose any track and set it to eight laps. Do not chase after the cars. Instead, go backwards until you find a good narrow road and set a spike strip on one side of the road. Then, turn sideways on the other side and wait until someone appears. If they crash into you, turn on your siren; if they go over the spike strip, get as close to him as possible to arrest them. Repeat this until all of them are arrested. Note: If the road is not narrow enough, they can get around you.
High beam headlights: While driving at night, press Up to turn on the high beam headlights.
