Need for Speed Unbound: Quick beginner's guide

  1. Never spend all your money - remember that most races require a fee without which you cannot participate.
  2. The storyline does not affect the multiplayer mode - when you start a multiplayer game, you create a new character and start the game from scratch, without story quests.
  3. You don't have to win every race - the way the game is designed will make it difficult for you to win at the beginning. Don't worry - even if you don't get the first place, you still get money to develop and upgrade your vehicle.
  4. Don't buy front-wheel drive cars - they are very difficult to drive for beginners and aren't great for drifting either, which is required in some races and generates a boost bonus in every race and when moving around the city.
  5. You can repeat races - if you have already made significant mistakes at the beginning of the race, you can repeat the race a limited number of times. It's better to try again than to face opponents for less money in other races.
  6. Appearance does not affect performance - in some editions of NFS or other games, you may have encountered the possibility of modifying the body and its elements, such as a spoiler or side steps, to improve aerodynamics and speed or vehicle's downforce. This does not appear in Need for Speed Unbound.
