Need for Speed Trivia

1. In "Need for Speed: Underground", what is the objective in most of the missions?

From Quiz Need for Speed: Underground

Answer: Finishing first, regardless of civilian traffic

Even if you never played the game, you could well have guessed that "Need for Speed: Underground" involves racing. But even then, several ways of playing could be imagined. In "Underground", the player will take on a number of opponents (usually three) and race as fast as possible, whilst evading civilian traffic. Other instalments of "Need for Speed" involve the classical "cops and robbers theme", where the player tries to evade police vehicles or can choose a role as police officer to chase speeding individuals. The coin collecting is a theme quite abundant in "Super Mario" games for Nintendo systems. One of the typical race games is "Mario Kart 7", where coins and some power-ups appear en route to the finish line. "Carmageddon" was the disputed game in which the object was to physically eliminate your opponents (by pushing them over the cliff, for example), with bonus points for the most stylish way of killing pedestrians and/or crossing animals.

From Quiz Need For Speed: World

Answer: It is a freemium MMO

"Need For Speed: World" is the only game of the "Need For Speed" series to be available for freemium. That means that most aspects of the game are provided for free, but for better cars and parts players will have to pay. In the game, there are two payment functions. One is with SpeedBoost. SpeedBoost has to be purchased using real money. Most cars, card packs, and some parts are available exclusively for SpeedBoost. The other form of currency in the game is IGC, or In-Game Cash. Players gain IGC by racing. Cars, the lowest level of Performance Parts and Skill Mods, and other modifications can be bought with IGC. Every few weeks, cars are released for IGC and others are either removed from the game or returned to being an exclusive SpeedBoost purchase. While all the "Need For Speed" games have a certain amount of online gameplay, they also have a single player campaign. "Need For Speed: World" alone does not have a single player option. Instead, it is a MMORG, or a Massively Multiplayer Online Racing Game.

From Quiz Need For Speed: World

Answer: Six

There are six car classes (E, D, C, B, A, and S) with E composed of the lowest level of cars, and S consisting of the highest level. All cars have a stock rating based on their handling, acceleration, and top speed. Based on that rating, they are classified into the classes. E Class: cars with 249 and below rating D Class: 250 - 399 C Class: 400 - 499 B Class: 500 - 599 A Class: 600 - 749 S Class: cars with 750 and above rating All cars can be tuned into higher classes through the addition of Performance Parts such as engines, transmissions, and brakes. However, no car can be tuned lower than its stock class.

From Quiz Racing Through "Need for Speed: Most Wanted" [1]

Answer: four & 4

Once you reach heat level 4, a helicopter will, more often than not, start to follow you for a few minutes, then it will run out of gas. Once you reach heat level 5, the helicopter will sometimes dive at you and try to force you off the road. All things considered, the helicopter should be the least of your worries unless you're ready to evade the pursuit.

From Quiz Let's Play "Need For Speed Shift" Edition

Answer: drag

From Quiz Need For Speed: Carbon

Answer: Fortuna

Wolf's territory is Fortuna, Angie's territory is Kempton and Kenji's territory is Downtown. The territory you start in depends on the car you start with. You start in Fortuna if you choose the exotic car, in Kempton if you choose the muscle car or Downtown if you choose the tuner. Silverton is Darrius's turf and you can only race there after you beat the first three bosses.

From Quiz "Need For Speed Most Wanted" PC

Answer: Baron

Baron is one of the first people you race on the Blacklist and is pretty arrogant. He is actually one of the few people you never talk to through your mobile.

From Quiz Need For Speed: World

Answer: Safehouse

The Safehouse is comprised of several parts. Players can go to the Safehouse to access their garage and change and repair their cars. Car Customization takes players to the workshops where they can buy Skill Mods, Performance Parts, and Aftermarket Parts and modify their cars. Also part of car customization are the Vinyl and Paint Shops for decorating the vehicles. The Car Dealer, where cars are bought and sold, is also accessed in the Safehouse. Players can also change to other drivers on the same account, buy card packs for car modifications, and edit their Powerup Console for use in events. Prior to 2013, detailed driver statistics could also be found in the Safehouse, but that capability was removed on April 10, 2013 as win-loss ratios would no longer be available due to the addition of Achievements.

From Quiz Need For Speed: Most Wanted

Answer: Five

If you reach the maximum heat level, number 5, Cross, the second villain in the game, joins the chase. In level 3, roadblocks start to form. In level 4, spike strips and helicopters join the chase. Nothing really happens in level 2 except for the change in police vehicles.

From Quiz Racing Through "Need for Speed: Most Wanted" [2]

Answer: Derek Hamilton

Derek Hamilton portrays "Razor" to perfection in this game and has made several appearances on TV shows such as "Psych" and "Traveler." He starred in the 2006 made-for-TV movie "To Have and to Hold" with Justine Bateman and has also appeared in movies such as "Disturbing Behavior" and "Out Cold." The other three choices also appear in this game. Paul Dzenkiw plays Ronald "Ronnie" McCrea, Kevan Ohtsji plays Toru "Bull" Sato, and Dean McKenzie plays Sergeant Cross.

From Quiz Racing Through "Need for Speed: Most Wanted" [1]

Answer: eight & 8

The rap sheet record is 7, so you can tie it or get all 8 to become number one. The infractions are as follows: driving off the roadway, ramming a police vehicle, damage to property, hit and run, resisting arrest, speeding, excessive speeding, and reckless driving. The officer must see the infraction for it to count. Sometimes you have to hit a car more than once for the hit and run infraction to actually count.

From Quiz Need For Speed: World

Answer: Treasure Hunt

Treasure Hunt is a daily event where players collect 15 jewels randomly scattered over a certain area of the map. At the end, players get a certain amount of cash and reputation, and an unknown reward. The reward could be any level of Performance Part or Skill Mod. If Treasure Hunt is done daily (each day changes and a new Treasure Hunt appears at 12:00 AM GMT time), players get a continuous streak. Theoretically, the longer the streak the better the reward at the end.

From Quiz Need For Speed: Most Wanted

Answer: Corvette C6

If you manage to get the pink slip for Webster's car, it should set you up for the rest of the game. Note that the C6 is also one of the fastest cars in the game, so it is worth restarting the entire game just to gain this car. Another reason why this is a great car is because Sergeant Cross drives it and he runs the police department.

From Quiz Racing Through "Need for Speed: Most Wanted" [2]

Answer: "Nice pinstripe."

Sergeant Cross, portrayed by Dean McKenzie, is only doing his job, but he's portrayed as the secondary villain in the game, next to "Razor." He loves to antagonize you and sometimes even takes part in the pursuits against you when your heat level gets too high. Throughout the game, he will call you and leave some, quite frankly, comical messages. He also appears in "Need for Speed: Carbon" as a bounty hunter.

From Quiz Racing Through "Need for Speed: Most Wanted" [1]

Answer: bus

The pickup truck is used in Challenge Number 42 and you must dodge six roadblocks (not fun to do with the truck). The minivan is used in Challenge Number 43 and you must go through the tollbooths in under 4:30. The cement mixer is used in Challenge Number 50 and you must obtain a bounty of 100,000. There are buses in the game, but none that you can drive. Just imagine how unstoppable you'd be if you were allowed to drive a bus. It would be just like the movie "Speed."

From Quiz Let's Play "Need For Speed Shift" Edition

Answer: England

Donington Park is located in Leicestershire, England. This picturesque racetrack is located in a rural countryside in central England. This track has long straight-aways with just a few sharp turns. Very high speeds can be attained on this track. In reality, economic concerns have closed this racetrack down after being open for eighty years.

From Quiz "Need For Speed Most Wanted" PC

Answer: Josie Maran

Josie Maran is a highly paid, very good looking actress/model. Brooke Burke acted in "Need for Speed Underground 2", Anna Kournikova is a tennis player, and Carmen Electra was just randomly thrown in.

From Quiz Need For Speed: World

Answer: Powerups

Powerups add to the cars abilities in an event. They can be activated by a player selecting the powerup they want in their Powerup Console. The Powerup Console can be modified in the Safehouse. A console has a maximum of four different kinds of Powerups. Some Powerups are tailored to enhance performance in a certain event. For example, "Run Flats" fix your tires instantly if you go over a spike strip in Team Escape or Pursuit. Powerups can be crucial to a race, as they include Nitrous, which gives the car a powerful boost, Juggernaut that increases weight until police and other players can be tossed in the air, and many others. Performance Parts, Skill Mods, and Aftermarket Parts also increase cars' performance, but they only affect a car's overall performance. Once in an event, the parts cannot be used to add an additional boost. However, Skill Mods may enhance the effects of Powerups.

From Quiz Need For Speed: Most Wanted

Answer: Ladies Man

The only ladies man on the entire list, Big Lou is a tough racer if you don't have a good car. He drives a Mitsubishi Eclipse and is a good driver, but not professional.

From Quiz Racing Through "Need for Speed: Most Wanted" [2]

Answer: Rog

Rog, which I can only assume is short for Roger, meets you near the beginning of the game and says the underground let you loose (in reference to the "Need for Speed: Underground" games). You then race him and two others and after you win, he says he'll see you around. Later, he hooks you up with some buddies that you can buy new cars from or get performance and visual upgrades from. Neville is a character in "Need for Speed: Carbon," played by Chris Gauthier.

From Quiz Racing Through "Need for Speed: Most Wanted" [1]

Answer: Lamborghini Gallardo

Although you don't have the opportunity to choose your own car for this or any other challenge in the Challenge Series, the Gallardo is a great car to have for this 30-minute pursuit. What it lacks in handling it makes up for with pure speed and acceleration. This can be a tough pursuit and it really doesn't feel good when you have about two minutes to go and get busted (trust me, I know).

From Quiz Let's Play "Need For Speed Shift" Edition

Answer: blurring of the screen

When you crash the screen will get blurry as if someone put saran-wrap over your screen. Your vehicle will slow down but usually not come to a complete stop. Wrecking your car may cause you to lose your bumper or other body parts but you cannot damage out in this game.
