The Fast and the Furious Hints and Glitches (PS2)

The Fast and the Furious is a video game that was developed by Eutechnyx Limited and was published by Namco Bandai Games America Inc.

As the name implies, the game is created using the concepts already seen in the movie series with the same name and the action takes place in the familiar streets of Tokyo, at night.

The player starts off as a rather unknown first time street driver and must prove his worth in a series of events before he is able to take on the most well-known racers of his time, some of them seen in the movie.

All the cars can be upgraded and customized to increase their abilities.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Racer and car references

Look for famous names and cars throughout the game, such as cars and actors from the three Fast And The Furious movies, cars from D1GP and Formula D, and drivers from D1GP. There are places such as Torreto's Muscle shop, which refers to Dominic Torreto from The Fast And The Furious, Hans Tuning shop from Tokyo Drift, and many others.

Easy Grip Battles

When doing Grip Battles in the mountains, it’s easier to win if you treat it like a drift match. You will take corners faster and finish quicker.

Strange finish

Try backing into the finish line. Your car will have a difficult time finishing, but you will remain in first place if you hold that position.

Easy drift races

Use transmission Level 3 while drifting. It helps keep drifts going longer without stooping which leads to more points for the player.

GLITCHES

Easy money

Buy an '05 NISMO R34 GT-R Z-tune for $168,000. Without driving the car, you can immediately sell it back for $170,300. Keep buying and selling them back to make a $2,300 profit each time.
