FrozenSpark Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 (edited) I would say I am about 1/3 of the way through this game and so far there have been 2 or 3 events that took me a good hour or or two to get. Two of them were hot pursuits and one was a preview. Should I expect events that are much harder later on in the game? If so, what are they and if you have beaten them, what do you recommend?

GODCHILD1020 Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 The toughest races/events are the Time trails and preview races/events. Having good vehicles can help make the races easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switchback Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Some of the Rapid Response events were quite frustrating. But, once you've learnt the route, where/when to use Nitrous, whether the shortcuts will aid you or hinder you, etc, you'll find them a little easier to do. I only just managed to get the gold trophy for earning a Distinction in all the police events. Now I've got to work on the Racing ones. Some are rather tough. I'm struggling with the Gauntlets, and a couple of time trials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, before the storm hp is hard, so is highway one and Ultimate Road car preview. Others i have not tried but once yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Trophy Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Same here, before the storm hp is hard, so is highway one and Ultimate Road car preview. Others i have not tried but once yet. I did the Ultimate Road Car Preview on my second go, tap to start drifting instead of braking with to start drifting, this will conserve your speed going through the turns...of course if you are already doing this just remember to try and not hit anything. Also, drive on the wrong side of the road to earn extra nos. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikari_86 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 The hardest event I encountered was Duty Calls on the Super Sports Pack DLC. It is a rapid response event that is very very fast and you have to be absolutely perfect to nail the distinction, took about a dozen tries.

Nickkahhs Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I didn't really find any of the Hot Pursuits or Races challenging, since you're only going for placement. What really irked me was the Time Trail/Preview/Rapid Response events. Since you're pressed for time, you need to learn the most efficient routes. If you keep playing these, you should get them fairly easily once you know the course. Just keep at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravioliee Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I would say the racing is much more difficult then the cop events due to the cops on some of the events taking you out. For instance on a time trial they slow you down and cost you much needed time. Fun game though if your a racing fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feanor Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 The Rapid Response event Boulder Desert: Damage Limitation was the hardest event for me to get a Distinction on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KONSTAND10 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Hey guys am i the only person who doesn't use neither the square button nor the L2 button in the turns? I release R2 just before a turn and move the left stick in the direction of the turn and hold R2. If you do it correctly you will turn very quick and not lose much speed. I don't know if anyone mentioned it before but it helped me a lot, especially in the time trials! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn I hated that dual. Anytime he got in front, he would take off. I just never let him pass me and never mess up on any turn, since he will punish you for any small crash or bump. Just try not to hit walls or go on any dirt road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that your best opportunity to win the seacrest tour is to avoid crashing at all where possible and you should make up lots and lots of time on your opponents through the long highway sections, and you'll need this towards the end. For example I went into the last 4.5km with a 30 seconds lead but that got reduced to about 12 seconds before the finish line - the AI can shoot past you in those last tricky turns if you don't make up the advantage in the highway sections. Make sure you say on the correct side of the road, you'll have a much better chance of avoiding the civilian traffic as well as gain boost from 'near misses'. Hope that helps and good luck!

I know the feeling when you are critical damage with miles and miles to go, inside your head it's like "oh shit, dear god please... MOVE OUT THE WAY!!!"

cAlllipo Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I already finished all Racer events and non of them was really hard. Seacrest tour was a joke, I won it being 25 seconds ahead of everyone. Just 5 more Cop events and it will be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xenonxyanide Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 im almost at the end of the game now and theres only been a few events that ive had to retry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P1x44r Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I'm a few events away from getting "True Blue" and so far "Protect and Swerve" and "Do Look After It" were the hardest events by far. Each I had to retry anywhere between 20-30 times. The rest weren't so bad, but, as I said, I got 2 or 3 more to go. I have barely scratched racers career though so no comment on that.

adam_prime Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 While nothing has been brutally difficult, I think by the time if I ever Platinum this game, it will be my favorite and most challenge platinum trophy yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecsw Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 The most difficult part in Cop for me is the rapid response on hwy where there is so much traffic on the road that I thought I could never get gold for it. But finally pull through and got it 2 days ago. Finally got all gold in cops and thought it shouldn't be so bad in racer since I pass lv 20 in racer a while back. boy was I wrong. Some of the time trial and previews were a lot harder than I could remember..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
