Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 Cheats - Xbox
Hints
360 powerslide
This trick is tough to pull off and will require some
practice before using it in a race. Get to at least 80 mph. Press
the Analog-stick backwards at an angle in the direction
that you want to turn, so it is inverting your slide. As soon
as you begin to turn, slam and hold the brakes. Force the Analog-stick
sequentially around in an extreme circle. Release your brakes
when you are about 75% through your turn. Slam your accelerator,
and power yourself through the rest of the turn. At the end, it
is recommended that you bank the car for a moment, because you
do not want the it to fly out of control.

After coming out of the first tunnel, drive up the
big hill. You will see the first cop on the side of the road.
Drive the car as if you are going to take the shortcut to the
right of the cop car, but steer left at the last moment and stay
on the paved road. The cop will take the short cut and lose sight
of you for awhile. After driving across the iron-work bridge and
through the underpass, another cop will be waiting on the left.
Follow the fence line on the right very closely and take the shortcut
down the hill. This will not only shave seconds off of your lap
time, but will help you to lose the cops.
Get the police off your tail
If you have one or two police chasing you, swerve around
things such as incoming traffic, trees, poles, or any other immobilized
objects. The police may not see it and crash into it. This gives
you an advantage to lose them. If you are way ahead of the pack
and do not feel like having a police on your tail, if your radar
detector detects an incoming radar (or police), zoom on the road
in front of you. See where the police are parked, and slam into
the back of their car. It will be a hit and run, but the police
car will be dead. You will not even get a yellow star.
When you want to get rid of the cop chasing you at a close distance,
get just behind him so that your front tire is touching his back
tire. Then, turn your car slightly in the direction of the cop
car. The officer will get turned around and end up facing in the
wrong direction. This should give you enough time to get away.
If you are really lucky, he may hit the other racers and cause
a big accident.
If you are cornered, press "Reset Car" to start back on the
road and lose the cops.
Use the following trick to easily escape from police radar. When
you get close to a cop, stay on the correct side of the road and
drive 80 mph at the most.
Very lightly press [R] to go really slow when you see a cop,
then drive off when you are far enough away.
When you have a cop on your tail, wait for it to come to your
side. When it is trying to ram you from the side, brake as fast
as possible. The best area to do this is at Coastal Parkland.
The best car to use to make you crack up at the cop is the McLaren
F1 LM or the McLaren F1. If done correctly, you will see the cop
ram into the wall.
In Hot Pursuit mode, whenever a police cruiser attempts to push
you off the road try to push it towards the other side of the
road. Eventually the cruiser will spin out of control and crash.
If you are getting chased by the cops, let the cop get a bit ahead
of you and then do a California Stop to the officer. It should
spin him out and you should only swerve slightly. This will give
you plenty of time to get away from the cops. Note: A California
Stop is when you hit the back left/right wheel with your front
wheel. This will spin the car out.
Get rid of police helicopters
Find a dividing road. Shortcuts work perfectly. When
the helicopter is in front of you, it will follow the main road.
It will not switch roads after it is on one. Go on the other road,
and the helicopter will be gone.
Predict police actions
Turn the "Speech" option on high in the "Audio"
screen when the police are on your tail, especially when police
may be present on the race course. Be aware that the police may
say something about roadblocks and where they are, as well as
what they may try to do to end your speeding frenzy.
To do this, you must wait for the police to choose the road block
button. If you are going over 100 mph, they will choose a spike
strip, but if you are going 100 mph or less, they will choose
a barricade. Note: This only works if they call for a road block.
If they call for a spike/barricade, then you cannot change that.
No police
If you drive backwards on any track you will not see
any police.
Easy arrests in be-the-cop mode
Do not turn on your sirens right away. Sneak up on
them. When you are on them, turn on your sirens, spin them out,
turn around, and hit them head on. This will result in a one hit
bust every time.
When you are a cop, get into an area were you have some bit of
room to swerve. Next do a California stop of the car you are chasing.
This will make the car spin viciously out. Next, turn around as
fast as you can and hit the front of the car. This will total
the car and it will be a bust. Note: A California Stop is when
you hit the back left/right wheel with your front wheel. This
will spin the car out.
Get another racer stopped by the
cops
When a car is being chased by the cops, get a short
distance behind it and do a California Stop to it. It will spin
him out and most of the time he will get stopped by the officer
that is chasing him. Note: A California Stop is when you hit the
back left/right wheel with your front wheel. This will spin the
car out.
Easy points
Select "Single Challenge" at the main menu.
Set the single challenge options for one player, cops on, one
opponent as an Elise, and traffic on or off. Select a track for
eight laps. Select a car. This will get you 600, 700, or 800 points
per getaway, 100 points for leading a lap, and 2,000 points for
first place.
Easy wins in single event
When you are directly next to someone in a race and
they are getting chased by a cop, if they are in front of you
slow down to where you are directly behind them on either the
left or the right. Slowly speed up to where the hood of your car
is on the side next to their trunk. Very quickly slam into their
car to make them spin out of control. If they are too slow, they
will be caught by the cop. After this happens, continue to do
this until you are the only one remaining.
Easy money
Go to challenge mode, set the difficulty on advanced,
and use only one opponent and give him a M5. Then just choose
your car and a short track. Make sure to set it to one lap. By
doing this you will get either $2,100 or $1,500.
Race in a tournament eight laps eight races advanced. To get NFS
points, either hit a police car to be chased or drive by one and
do not get caught. Do not worry if you are in last place; your
goal is to get the points to buy faster cars or other tracks.
Single player race with no opponents
Select two players, and in the options menu, change
"Opponents" to "None". Back out and select
one player. Go race and there should be no opponents, allowing
easy wins and unlimited time to play on jumps.
Slow opponents down
All of your opponents can be scared. If your opponents
are directly besides you, suddenly steer towards them, as if you
were trying to ram their car off the road. They will panic and
veer away from your sudden move. If you are lucky, they may veer
away too much, thus causing them to crash into an object, slowing
them down. You can also do this to police that are on your tail.
Another way to slow down opponents is to get behind their car
and ram it 180 degrees from the bottom left or right of it. Note:
This can also be done to cops.
Race in single race without opponents
Note: This trick requires two controllers. First, go
to World Racing with two players. Choose a car and race. When
race begins, exit. Go back into World Racing Challenge, then switch
the two players option to one player. Choose the same car that
appears. This is best done with the Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR. It
is similar to free run, but you can win cars and get points.
Traffic pulls over for you
Choose a cop car in challenge mode. In the race, turn
the sirens on. The cars will pull over.
License plate number
Go into race or go to the showcase. In the race, switch
to the near view; in the showcase zoom into the car from behind.
The license plate will read "ND 4 SPD" (Need For Speed).
Glitch: Speedometer
Look closely at the speedometer of the Ford Mustang
Cobra R. The meter goes from 180 to 240 to 210 when displayed
in kph.
