[edit] World Racing

• Quick Race

Quick Race & Challenge are the same except Hot Pursuit involves the Police. Ultimate Racer & Championship both consist of an event tree of 30 races, with 2 bonus races that can be unlocked after beating the 30 other races. Be the Cop means you become the cop, the differences are in the Xbox/PC/NGC version you only need to ram the offender, in the PS2 version they must be stopped while your car is nearby.
