Unlockables

Unlock Axel
Go in the Freeway level, try and look for the repair station. In that area, look around and you’ll find two cranes. One of the cranes holds a pipe, the other, a cage like item. The cage crane has a yellow cage like box on the left side. Destroy the yellow box to get Axel, Aim for the box on the hill with a fire missle. Move around. If you don’t make it in one place, aim for the box in another place on the hill. This is tough, aiming for the box is hard, and with cars pounding you from all sides, it’s even tougher. So good luck to you all. -
Unlock Manslaughter
Go to the ”Prison Passage” stage (Stage 5 in Story Mode) Drive down to the lowest level of the stage until you reach a dock area where you can see the hull of the boat. Find a health power-up located on the side of the boat above some crates. Shoot the crates until they explode, and a ramp will be revealed. Go straight up the ramp, and shoot straight ahead at the boat. Eventually a square section of the ship will open to reveal a passage. Drive through the passage and come to a room with a corner enclosed by a sort of fence, with a control panel just outside the ”fence”. Shoot the control panel until it is destroyed, and Manslaughter will be lowered from a platform, and a message that says ”Manslaughter Unlocked” will flash on screen. -
Unlock Prison Passage
Go to the ferris wheel area of the suburbs. Find the gas tank at the entrance to the area. Run into it and keep driving onto the top of the building where you get Warthog. Then jump to the left building, then use your turbo and jump to the right building. Blow up the structure and get the black cube. -
Unlock Warhawk’s Roof
On level one of story mode (The Junkyard) destroy the Bob’s Big Boy lookin’ structure. Doing so is most easily accomplished by getting on the small section of elevated freeway directly adjacent to him. This will leave a small bump on the ground which you use to get on top of the crusher. I recommend using a car with average speed like Junkyard Dog for this since you don’t want to overshoot the crusher. As soon as you take off, smash the brake and when you land don’t move. The pick-up will be floating right in front of you when the crusher reaches the top (as long as you didn’t move). It’s a grey sphere with a pink swirling atomic symbol. Drive off when the crusher hits the top and you’ll hit it. -
