Of the twelve cars found in High Stakes , the Jaguar XKR, Corvette, Ferrari 550 Maranello, Lamborghini Diablo SV, and Mercedes CLK GTR are all holdovers from the predecessor. If anything, we should complain that cars we enjoyed in Hot Pursuit were left out of High Stakes . EA added career mode to make an intoxicating game even more addictive. Career mode allows players to advance through circuits earning money and cars along the way. Each tour consists of three or four races.
Races take the form of one of three types.
Normal races place you on the track against other cars through three to five race courses. You earn points for finishing the higher the finish, the more points you earn. At the end of the race series, the driver with the most points wins first place and a load of cash, with the losers each taking progressively less dinars. Players keep racing until they get knocked out or win it all. I found a few problems with this mode.
