2. FAQ Information
This is an FAQ created by me to help you get through EA's,
"Need For Speed: Most Wanted 5-1-0". This should help you get
through the main Career Mode of the game whilst also helping
you on each of the designated tracks and courses. Also be
advised that this guide contains spoilers. So stop reading
immediately so you don't put yourself at risk.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3. Game Information
Title: Need for Speed: Most Wanted 5-1-0
Platform: PSP
My Rating: 7.9/10
Number of Players: 1-4 Simultaneous
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4. Version History
Version 0.5 – Format is established in all sections. Should
meet GameFAQS standards. However, there are many areas with
information yet to be filled in. Career Mode only covers the
first Boss in some detail as of now. Preceeding bosses will be
covered in further detail in an alternate version. Will definitely
add a "Track" section in the very next version.
Version 0.6 - Tracks section added but only format has been
established as of yet. Chapter 2 in Career Mode has more
detailed information now.
Version 0.62 - Added a little bit more information to the Tracks
section but no strategies as of yet.
Version 0.625 - Edited Thank You section; added closing notes;
added 1UP to list of sites eligible to host my guide.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5. Quick Play
This mode chosen at the Main Menu allows you to choose from
three seperate games: Instant Race, Custom Race, Outrun and
Tuner Takedown. In this section, Instant Race and Custom Race
will be considered.
******** Instant Race ********
Choose this game, and a random track will be selected, along with a
random direction, as well as a random car. Everything in
this mode will be selected at random. Select this race if
you just feel like racing against computers or setting
new track records.
******** Custom Race ********
Choose this game, and you will be able to choose the track
you will race on. As well, the car you race with will be the
current car you are driving in Career Mode that show up on
the right of the Main Menu. Again, select this race if
you feel like racing against computerized cars and/or setting
new track records.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
6. Outrun
In this mode, you get to choose one of the game's 10 tracks and
you wil be able to race on it. Sounds easy enough, right? Wrong!
Why do you think the race is called "Outrun"?! As soon as
you begin, a police patrol car will be waiting for you to pass
it. After which point, you must try to elude the car using
shortcuts to your advantage. However, as time progresses,
more patrol cars will appear, in an attempt to get you busted!
How far can you travel throughout the track without getting
busted?!
I've only played this mode once 'cause I find it quite boring,
but my best time is "01:21.66" on the "Hillside" Track.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
7. Tuner Takedown
In this mode, you get to be the cop! The point of this game is to
bust all speeding cars to get bonus time on the clock. The more arrests
you do, the more points you will recieve. If you reach the goal
on time, try to go for a bonus by arresting as many extra cars as
possible for extra points.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8. Career
The Main Mode. This is where you try to get your way up to the top
of the "Black List" to gain respect as well as a good rep.
However, 16 different racers stand in your way. You must clear
each chapter of racers, making sure to clear all challenges
within a chapter, as well, defeating the boss at the end of
the chapter after all challenges have been completed. Upgrade
your car on a regular basis to make sure you keep up with the
competition. Let's look at each chapter, shall we?

*** DETAILED INFORMATION ON ALL CHAPTERS COMING SOON. ***
Hopefully, you'll be able to clear all the chapters! Then again,
this could be an unfortunate thing to do as the replay value left
in the game will be extremely low. Nevertheless, still try tour
best to complete all chapters to make it to the top of the
Black List!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
9. Multiplayer
Select this mode and you'll be able to play wirelessly
utilizing on of two connection modes: the common, AD HOC, or
Infrastructure.
Just in case you were unaware, AD HOC simply means that you
will play a game without a specified connection or access
point whilst Infrastructure will allow you to specify an
access point and you'll be able to play wirelessly from there.
Pretty neat, huh? I have yet to participate in a race using
this mode so there's not much really I can say about this mode,
except try challenging your friends by setting up a date and
time when you all can be connected onto the Internet simultaneously.
If I am right, up to 4 (or 2; not sure about the specifics)
can get into the action and try to have some fun, will you're at it!
See where you rank up in comparison to your friends and other
gamers online!

11. Extra Tips and FAQs
These are all tips and FAQS from the EA Extras section
found on the Main Menu. Here they are:
******** What's New ********
Infrastructure Mode
Take your tricked-out car online and test your driving skills
with the best players around.
Leaderboards:
Keep tabs on your opponents with the online ranking boards.
Try to get in the Top 100 or compete for the fastest lap
times.
Career Mode
Earn enough respect on the street to become the most wanted street
racer. to get there, you'll have to race against the best players in
the street racing scene and increase your "heat" level if you want to
get respect. If you build up enough respect you may just make
it to the top of the "Black List".
Heat Level
When you drive aggressively, your "Heat Level" starts to
increase and the cops will be more aggressive towards you.
Win Carreer Mode events with high heat and spawn a Double Down
challenge, where you can increase your cash and respect, but lose
it all if you get busted.
Speedbreaker
When you need to get out of a tight spot, activate Speedbreaker to
trigger a slow-motion state where your driving skills become heightened.
You will be able to make precision turns and weave around obstacles.
Speedbreaker only lasts for a short period of time, so use it wisely.
Tuner Takedown
Now it's your turn to be the cop! Take out all the speeding tuner
cars to get bonus time added to the clock. The more arrests you
do the more points you get.
Once you've reached the goal, try to arrest as many extra cars as
you can before the time runs out, for an added bonus.
******** Controls ********
Simply shows the control configuration. The default controls are:
Accelerate - X

******** Hints & Tips ********

oncoming traffic.
-Use Speedbreaker on difficult shortcuts to consistently shave
seconds off your lap time.
