Arcade Mode

[Hailogon]

Does anyone know if completing all the races in arcade mode contribute to completing the game 100%. I know that u unlock the ending movies when u do but is there anything else?

 

[the_cobbinator]

Yes it does. An easy way to test this is to do a race in Arcade mode that you haven't completed and see if your percent rose.

 

[azndrifter318]

yeah it does, what does the ending movies look like?

 

[Cap'n Jack]

The ending movie looks good but the music is real bad!

 

[the_cobbinator]

The ending movie shows a bunch of movies and replays to music. The movies go through time so it starts with the Model T and progresses. In both ending movies the credits roll.

 

[Hailogon]

how many ending movies r there?

 

[Dave A]

Two of them.

The other movie has a Castrol Supra racing around a track. It has nice piano music to listen to.

wot happens wen u complete all the races in hard mode?
P.S i've just completed all the races on normal and i am wordering where are the cars that i've got in the bonus items?

 

[Pupik]

Unlocking the bonus items/releasing tracks/percentage is done best by selecting "Hard" for all the races. They are just 5-lap events or 4-lap rally courses, nothing too difficult.

Your percentage also goes up quicker, I've noticed. It's like racing 3 races in one, to the percentage counter. So if you're looking for an easy wasy to cross the 50% and 75% threshold, then Arcade Races are the way to go.

The only car that you win in arcade mode is the Panoz Esperante. That is won from placing first in all the Time Trials.

Completing all the single races in Normal mode just opens the arcade tracks. You'll have to compelte them on Hard to gain any percentage towards 100%.

Your question is a bit vague and I'm a tad bit confused. Can you clarify "bonus items"?

if you beat a race in hard mod it counts it as a win in easy and normal, i think u did all those normal races for nothing.hailogen u may want to kick yourself now.

 

[Hailogon]

Nooooooooo!
Oh well i've started doing the Hard races but they r all sooo easy with my polyphony 001

In arcade mode, if I select cars from my garage, what does the AI make its car selection from?

Can it just choose whatever car it wants?

So use an arcade car ...

Essentially, yes. It tries to use something comparable in horsepower (??) to what you are using.

Except the F1:s

 

[LoudMusic]

Yeah, the arcade AIs don't get the F1 race cars. Not even if you set it to 'Professional' if I remember correctly.

I think he is talking about the extra cars you unlock that you are able to pick from if you use the arcade cars.

In arcade mode when u select bonus items and it shows u all the races that u have completed there are car symbols at the bottom of every area. When u complete that area in normal or hard mode the symbol of a car starts flashing and i assume that this means that i have unlocked that car.

Yes, when you complete a line in the bonus races, you unlock cars in the Arcade Mode only. Cars like JGTC Race cars, and super cars.

 

[Hailogon]

How do u use these cars then?

 

[Famine]

They just... appear, ready for selection in the Arcade Car, C-, B-, A- and S-class garages. And the Rally class one too.
