The Fast and the Furious Hints III (PS2)

The Fast and the Furious is aimed at racing fans that are interested in besting their rivals using supercars on the brightly lit streets of Tokyo.

The game is based on the movie series with which it shares a name and, although there's little connection between the two, the sense of danger is always present and there's a shared focus on the idea of upgrading and customizing the cars.

The player starts of as a rookie and must progress through a variety of events before becoming a respected driver.

The game was developed by Eutechnyx Limited and was published by Namco Bandai Games America Inc.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Easy money

Purchase the $35,000 '02 350Z Fairlady Nismo S-tune. Immediately turn around and sell it back to the dealership for $37,300. The car is nice, but is fully tuned as it comes, so its potential is limited. You can purchase it, drive it, and sell it back for a profit.

Once you have a fast car, win quick money by defeating rivals in roll-up races on the Wangan.

Recommended car

The fastest car is the Toyota Supra. Put all level 5 parts on it and it can reach 250 mph.

The Corvette Z06 is one of the fastest cars in the game. Tune as follows and it will be able to reach over 270 mph. Set everything to level 5 except Gearbox (level 3) and Differential (level 4). Note: This car is fast but has too much hp for drifting. To get a good drift car, it would be best if it were between 400 and 500 hp and with Drift Tires level 4. Gearbox for drift cars should always go to level 3 and Turbo/Supercharger to level 2 or 3.

Only use FR/MR/AWD cars in this game. All the FF cars are slow even when fully tuned.
