Chapter 5...hard or impossible?!
Post by Ryan Jenning on Aug 31st, 2003, 5:31pm

Hey, I'm on a quest to beat all of the story mode missions on very hard, and I can't beat chpater 5 no matter how much I try. On the hard difficulty, my best time is 39"495, but on the very hard difficulty, I believe it would be somewhere around 40"100. I can't seem to get there in time, and I got all of the energy refills and went through the cracks in the gates fine, but I still get screwed over and lose. Can someone please help me because I have been playing this track since 10:00 in the morning and it is now 6:15 in the afternoon!!!

Thanks,
Ryan E. Jenning

Very Hard, but not impossible
You CAN'T miss (don't hit the doors!), you need boost your machine regularly and get ALL capsules
In other words: a perfect run
My time is 0'39'325 (Maybe I spent 4 consecutive hours!)

Funny. Chapter 5 is one of the only very hard story chapters I've done. Just don't hit any walls, always boost, and get all the health icons. Took me a straight hour with the track to finally do it.

I also beat chapter 2 and 6 on very hard. I don't think I'll bother with the others for a while since I have all the tracks now.

Here's something funny:

My time for Chapter 5 Very Hard is 40"625 or somewhere there.. and yet I cleared. LoLx. The funny thing is that the door was actually shut, but somehow the machine, after crashing, went right through the gap.

My problem with it is as soon as I hit the ramp, the door closes. I wish my game would glitch up like yours did. Make my life a hell of a lot easier...

boost the whole time till the last 1/3 of the track, you will not have enough energy to constantly boost to the, so you can drive carufully through the last doors, boost between and then again drive carufully, especially the last three cost me many tries. i think this one is really not the hardest. i hate chapter 4 and 7.

Heh, Chapter 4 is incredibly easy on Very Hard ... if you have no problem with the dakou that is..

Just snake past all the gang members and ignore them completely.. then keep snaking behind Michael Chain who seems to have magic boost and will always be in front.
However, about 5000 meters before the finish he'll suddenly start going very slowly and now you can just drive next to him and take him out with about 2 X-attacks.
