Need For Speed: High Stakes brings EA's fourth installment of the popular racing franchise to the 
Playstation once again.  This high-action racing game offers a "High Stakes" mode for multiplayer
challenge and the "Hot Pursuit" mode allowing gamers to become police officers participating in
high speed chases.
An all- new "Tournament and Special Events" mode allows racers to raise funds by winning
races and then use their winnings to pay for repairs, upgrades and new ezotic cars - such as 
the Jaguar XKR, Lamborghini Diablo SV, Ferrari F50 and the BMW M5- into the game.

What can you say? There's no other racing game with possiblities anywhere near what this one has! I've 
got the PC version, and man, the cars you can download!Wanna wipe out a few cops? Try the McLaren 
F1 GTR Gulf Edition. If you have the PC version, here's a tip for easy money: Download the Batmobile 
off this site: http://trackstudio.btwracing.com/other_4_2.shtml (This is NOT an official EA site). Go and 
purchase this car for $100 in carreer mode. When you go to your garage, you will find it has turned into 
the Bounus Porsche 911, which is worth $100,000. Buy another Batmobile, and you can then sell one 
of the Bounus Porches. Keep doing this until you have the desired amount of money. Good luck! :)

I just gave you some codes to use on the game NFS 4.  Turns out one part of the easy money part is wrong. 
You can't gain money when you play the high stakes mode.  You can only gain cars, but then sell the extra 
cars to make tons of money.  By advancing my money to better cars I was able to save the cars to both mem. 
cards and get the new car back.  When I sold it I got more money.

Acceleration cheat: choose your car by pressing START press and immediatelyhold up + tri + x till the loading 
screen disappers.  during the race honk your horn for a turbo boost.

Heavy Car: Use this to send other cars flying but you stay your course. Choose your car by pressing START then 
immediately hold right + square + circle. Hold this till loading screen disappers.

Drunk Drive Simulation: Choose your car by pressing START. then immediately hold up + R1 + L2. Hold this till 
the loading screen is over.

Easy Money: You will need two memory cards for this.  First you need a car and enough money to buy a second
($20,000).  When you get this save this two both cards.  Then goto High Stakes mode.  Have one car forfeit intentionally. 
Now the first memorycard has two cars and 40,000 dollars.  Save this to both memory cards and then race again. 
Keep doing this as much as you want.  You can sell the cars and buy bigger better cars.

PHANTOM CAR: enter your name as FLASH.

TURBO: immediatly after selecting your car (and before the loading screen appears,)hold UP+TRIANGLE+X. (this 
may trigger the dashboard view, if so, on your next race hold the same buttons and you should get turbo.) to use 
the turbo, just press the horn when you are racing and you will go twice as fast as before.

one they will go flying.

I bought Need 4 Speed:HS 2 days ago because I needed a two player game.  I had played this before and thought it was cool.  Playing in Tournament mode and winning cash resulted in my friend and I fighting over what hot new car to buy.  We made a decision however and continued on.  Playing hot pursuit with two cops or two runaway crooks was the best thing ever.  This game gets an easy 10.0 rating from me.  Thanks Spike for convincing me to get a Playstation!!

I bought NFS4 without ever playing it before, or any other NFS for that matter, and I'll just tell you. If you like a real life racer that responds in almost every way like a real car would. You want a selection of some of the hottest cars available today, and you want a game that'll keep you busy for a while. Then buy this game!
p.s. In high stakes mode, if you put the same memory car in both slots (one then the other) when it loads them, and then win the race on player 1, then put the memory car in slot 1, you will get a duplicate of your car for free!

Great Game

The game is a wonderful example of great graphics and alot better cars and I have enjoyed this game alot and i am still enjoying this game alot! This game should be nominated as the best sony game of the year for 99'. I hope that you get to play this game if you have not already. And if you have then you should go out and buy this game. On a scale on 1-100 I give this game a 1000 and so should everyone else who has played this wonderful game. I hope that you put this review on the web because i want other people to see what I have to say. This game is really cool! It has really cool cars and it has great features on it like the hotrod cars and the helicopter and the boat! You should really play this game  ans enjoy it like millions of others. Please read this thoroughly and enjoy.

I never played a need 4 speed game,but when i touched in High Stakes i realized the big mistake i made.This car game is one of the best that money can buy,it gots lots of modes to play and awesome cars(i can´t stop thinking about that Mclaren F1).The Hot Pursuit mode will last until the last days of your life and with a friend the joy of play is multiplied by 10.The High Stakes mode  test your skills against a friend,if you loose say goodbye to your car,but if you win, CONGRATULATIONS,you´ve got a new car.The cars in this games are beautiful and you can upgrade them and if you got damage in the race you´ll pay for the repairs.There are lots of tracks to run,and you can race them forwards,backwards and mirrored.The only problem that i found in this game was the graphics,but the joy of play it will make you forget about this problem.I will give a 9 to this game(in a rate of 1 to 10).

I'm a long time fan, from the days of the original.  "High Stakes" is by far the best chapter yet.  The way you have to beat parts of the game to advance is ingenious.  Saving money gives you a feel of appreciating your machine.  The hot pursuit mode is the best!  It's our turn to play the long arm of the law!  Playstation's best game yet.

"Need for Speed 4, High Stakes" is just straight out a great game.  You are
able to race in a tournament and get better and more powerful cars.  You can
take the car to a shop and upgrade it.  The game is so precise that after
each tournament race if you damaged your car it will take away some money
for the cost of repairs.  If you don't feel much like going into a
tournament go into a single race and play against the computer or one of
your friends in a two player race.  You can play, my favorite, hot pursuit.
You can race solo for best time or race your friend or the computer while
being chased by the cops.  Unlike the hot pursuit on NS3, four allows you to
be a cop and chase speeders.  The game allows you to be a cop with your
friend or against where he'd the bad guy and you are the cop.  Also if you
and your friend want to race having there car and money on the line then you
should go to high stakes.  (NOTE: You both have to have a car on separate
memory cards.)  I will rate this game out (1-5). I'd have to give it a 5!
