Can anybody tell me how to buy/use different cars in Career mode? Me and my roommate are both already past 40% completion and we're still using the starter cars given to us. We've got lots of money but can't figure out how to buy new cars!

I looked up some FAQs on the internet but nothing that helped me.

how is this for wii ? worth it ? could probably go in the wii thread as well

game's pretty cool. You use the nunchuck as the steering wheel. Takes a while to get used to, but once you do its very incremental.

worth 50$?

Well, its my roommate's. Personally I prefer realistic racing simulations (with the exception of Mario Kart) and wouldn't buy it myself.

Not sure what that means to you, but I'm tired and can't explain further

Have you tried going to the Car Lots on the World Map? That's how you buy new cars on the 360 version.

when have you seen the same game for a console on different platforms have a different set up?

(wondering mostly as everyone i've seen is 99% the same)

^^&^ I have no idea where this world map is. I'll look for it later after work.

i don't have the 360 version but assuming there's not much difference, you have to have at least 1 car at all times. once you have enough $ to buy a new car (from the various car lots listed on the world map) or once you've won a car from one of the bosses you beat in a race, you can then sell any of your cars (as long as you have 1 car left)... ( you go to your "safe house" then "car select" - pick which car of yours you want to sell & then press "y" for "career controls", then "x" for "sell car".
get enough $ to buy that mercedes mclaren!

this is for normal x-box though........

^I don't have a world map to look at. I've already beaten two bosses, and have unlocked at least 6-7 cars. In my safe house, under car select it doesn't let me look at anything other than my car.

you can't press "y" for "career controls", then "x" for "sell car"?

^^I forgot that the name of the map is "world map". I figured it out. I couldn't access the car lots b/c I hadn't won any drift events. (drift events are hard as shit with the Wii controller, at least imo). After several attempts I won a drifting event and unlocked the car lots.

Then bought and modded to my full ability a Porsche Cayman S

you can get to 40% game completion without upgrading your cars or even getting to the car lots? wtf is that?

1/5/2007 12:17:18 AM

ohhhhh don't get me started on the gd drift crap - it's not necessary to advance in the game but i sure could use the $ from them

1/5/2007 2:08:38 AM

I have 1 race left to conquer the whole city.......and my 360 just bit the dust........shipping back to microsoft as soon as that dang box gets here...

1/5/2007 2:16:25 AM

i can't beat that nigga darius

1/5/2007 2:18:17 AM

cayman is a waste, any of the 911 carrera models are faster

1/5/2007 10:20:59 AM

wtf, there are 911s in this game?! I haven't seen or read that anywhere

Does anyone else have problems with their crew member in games? These assholes are always slamming on their brakes in the middle of turns resulting in me nailing them. I swear they do more bad than good.
