Master New York in Midnight Club: Street Racing! Learn how to follow hookmen, win Waypoint races, and beat them head-to-head to unlock all the cars, including the Zender Type-S.
Alright, welcome to New York! This is where things really kick off, picking up right from the story in the manual. You play as Emilio here, and as soon as the camera starts to zoom in on your ride, floor it! Emilio doesn't wait for anyone.
Here's the lowdown on what you need to do in the Big Apple:
- Follow all three 'hookmen' until they stop.
- Beat them in a Waypoint race to snag their cell phone number.
- Call them up and race them Head to Head three times each to unlock all their cars.
Now, if you're aiming to snag every single car by the end of the game, you absolutely need to follow all the hookmen, beat them in Waypoint races, and then take them down in Head to Head races until they vanish from the map. If you skip this, you won't get the Zender Type-S later on. Seriously, don't miss out on that!
Remember, you gotta win the Waypoint race three times and the Head to Head race three times for each hookman to make them disappear. You only need to make two of them disappear to unlock the Champ, but missing even one of the three means no Zender Type-S for you at the end.
Heads up: When you're tailing a hookman for a Waypoint race, pay close attention at the turns. If they mess up their turn, they'll U-turn and try to recover. You need to anticipate where they're going. If you stop to wait for them and they blast past you, you'll have to restart. Don't follow them so close that you mess up their turning path!
Need to find these elusive hookmen? Here's where to look:
- Emilio is usually hanging out near the aircraft carrier.
- Larry is the hookman you'll find directly North of your starting position.
- Kieko likes to cruise around the park.
- Kareem, once he shows up, patrols the outskirts of the city.
