GAME MODES
Take on the underground in a variety of Quick Race mode races, 2 player split-screen, or Career mode.
CAREER MODE
Rise to the top of the underground in Career mode.
To start a game in Career mode, select CAREER in the Main menu then either create a new profile or load an existing profile.
EXPLORING
Want to make a name for yourself in the underground? You're going to have to find it first. In Career mode, the city is yours to discover.
Explore it by driving around to get a feel for the lay of the land. As you cruise you'll encounter rival racers who you can challenge to an Outrun race. Keep your eyes and ears open for hints pointing you to the areas where you can find the hottest races or the coolest upgrades.
•
If you perform a cool move while you cruise, such as impressive slides, you earn points. These fill up your Race Breaker meter if you have Nitrous Oxide installed. Do something uncool, like hit another driver, and points are deducted from your Race Breaker meter.
SHOWCASE MODE
As you win races and upgrade your car, you will receive messages telling you to proceed to locations where a photographer is waiting to take a picture of your suped-up ride. To set up the best shot you can pop your hood, trunk, or doors to better show off the goods.
•
