(19,3KB) ============================================================================== Introduction [FO.02.01] ============================================================================== Taken from the official game: "Driving this reckless is no accident! But you might want to cause a few. In these high-speed races, the more damage you inflict, the better. The ultimate in turbo-charged cars and the craziest of tracks wait for your best in destructiveness. Responsible drivers need not apply." This game is a mix between Burnout (on speed), Crashday (on crack) and Destruction Derby (on LSD). ============================================================================== Career Mode [FO.03.01] ============================================================================== Participate in the grand tournament and begin a career! ============================================================================== "Welcome to the car shop. Here you can purchase your first car! You can only afford Derby cars, but after you earn a bit more money, you can buy cars from Race and Street classes and participate in cups within those classes." When you start the career mode you have 5000 CR (it's the currency in the game) and three cars to pick. Chili (3000 CR), Malice (4000 CR) or Roamer (5000 CR). It's easy to make money, so I suggest you pick the Roamer and get the best car you can for now. "Welcome to the Career menu! Here you can check the cars you have in the Garage, buy new cars from the Car Shop, upgrade existing ones in the Upgrade Shop and Go Race against your opponents and earn more money while you progress." For now, as mentioned earlier, you can only do the Derby races. So let's start the fun! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Derby [FO.03.02] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Good place to start your career, cheap, durable cars and destruction derby challenges. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Level 1 [FO.03.2A] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cup: Derby Initiation Cup Prices: 1st - 900 CR, 2nd - 700 CR, 3rd - 400 CR Track 1: Pinegrove 1 Description: Starting near the BMX stunt track, the road takes you through a narrow gorge - which can prove interesting if you are in the middle with a large bunch of cars. Laps: 3 Note: A very easy track (hey, did you expect the hardest track in the game instead?). The corners are easy to take and you shouldn't have any problems winning this one. Track 2: Farmlands 2 Description: This route takes you into the rural areas, cutting through a homey farm yard and amongst the peaceful scenery. Laps: 3 Note: Still easy, but at least a bit more serious. After a few corners you'll note a barn ahead. There are two routes here. When you take the path on the left side of the barn, you'll take a small jump. Going through the barn will allow you to do a big jump, gaining nitro, but also making it possible for you to mess up. Near the end of the track you'll be back on some concrete road again. You can take two routes here once again. The first one is by driving off the concrete again, while the other allows you to do a jump if you follow the concrete. Take the second route since it involves no risks whatsoever, but gives you some nitro. Unlocked: * Event: High Jump Event: High Jump Prices: 1st - 900 CR, 2nd - 700 CR, 3rd - 400 CR Note: Try to avoid the barrels with gentle turns and try to launch the driver as late as possible, with an angle around 50 degrees. Cup: Sunday Smash Derby Prices: 1st - 1100 CR, 2nd - 900 CR, 3rd - 600 CR Track 1: Water Canal 1 Description: Neighborhood of small apartments situated near the canals. Alternative routes take you over rooftops and through narrow tunnels. Laps: 3 Note: A fun track. Lots of jumps in the beginning, giving you a nice nitro collection. When you see a tunnel ahead it's best to just go left and drive through the fences. It's shorter and doesn't slow you down as much as the tunnel does. After you passed the basketball field and drove over a long straight road you can go left or right. If you go right you'll just stay on the ground. Going left allows you to still stay on the ground, but also allows you to drive on a rooftop. It's up to you, no route is really all that much faster than the other. At the end of a lap you can take two routes again. If you don't care for nitro and want a short shortcut, slow down and enter the tunnels on your left. Otherwise just drive straight ahead in the other tunnel and take a jump. Track 2: Farmlands 1 Description: Speeding around a great lake, this race takes you into wide open farmlands and recreation areas suffering from flash floods. Laps: 3 Note: Nothing special to mention here. Near the end of the track you'll take a wide corner. On the inside of this corner are stones. Avoid them or you'll end up flipping over or going off-track. Track 3: Pinegrove 3 Description: Old gas stations, heavily banked roads, racing along cliffsides and a nice downhill run to the local water supply yard. Laps: 3 Note: Nothing special to mention here. Unlocked: * Event: Gas Station Derby * Car: Shaker * Car: Blaster XL * Car: Banger Event: Gas Station Derby Prices: 1st - 1100 CR, 2nd - 900 CR, 3rd - 600 CR Note: This will probably take a few tries. Try to smash cars into their side and back off again. Don't chicken out though, since you get points for the amount of crashes you make. ============================================================================== Cars [FO.04.01] ============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cars [FO.04.02] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Derby [FO.04.2A] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chili Price: 3000 CR Top Speed: 1.0 Acceleration: 4.1 Handling: 7.1 Strength: 6.9 Weight: 1.1 Nitro: 1.0 Drive: FWD Malice Price: 4000 CR Top Speed: 1.6 Acceleration: 2.6 Handling: 7.8 Strength: 7.8 Weight: 2.2 Nitro: 1.5 Drive: RWD Roamer Price: 5000 CR Top Speed: 1.3 Acceleration: 3.6 Handling: 8.8 Strength: 8.5 Weight: 4.6 Nitro: 1.3 Drive: 4WD Blaster XL Price: 7000 CR Top Speed: 1.5 Acceleration: 4.8 Handling: 8.8 Strength: 8.2 Weight: 8.2 Nitro: 1.5 Drive: 4WD Banger Price: 6000 CR Top Speed: 1.6 Acceleration: 5.0 Handling: 7.8 Strength: 8.2 Weight: 3.0 Nitro: 1.4 Drive: RWD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Parts [FO.04.03] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Derby [FO.04.3A] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Engine - Engine upgrades improve power output, strength and engine responsiveness in race conditions.

Here they are, listed just for you. * If you flip your car, crash, come off the track, or your drive crashes through the windshield, press the RESET button to reset your position back on the track with a rolling start. * Use other cars as impact absorbers when crashing into obstacles. Slam into other cars to take corners at higher speeds. * After passing a barrel row start turning to avoid the next set as soon as possible - this way you can use gentler turns and so keep your speed high through the slalom course. (High Jump event) * Smash into a car and toss it into its roof to get the Super Flip bonus. Subsequent flips in the crash are not rewarded. * Gain nitro by crashing into roadside objects. The more objects you hit, the more nitro rewarded. * Deal out the hardest hits and get the most Blast-Out bonuses to show that you are the ultimate Blast Master! * Get maximum velocity relative to your target before you hit. The higher your speed, the more damage inflicted.
