Need for Speed II/Tracks

The game has 7 tracks. Each has its own requirements, challenges, and obstacles. The oncoming traffic can be turned off on the tracks where it is present.

Proving Grounds

 * Country: Norway
 * Length: 3.2 miles
 * Difficulty: Very easy
 * Recommended car: McLaren F1
 * Notes: Nothing to worry about here, just keep in a straight line on the straights and stay in the outside lane on the bends to carry as much speed as possible through the two corners. No traffic here.

Outback

 * Country: Australia
 * Length: 4.7 Miles
 * Difficulty: Easy
 * Recommended Car: McLaren F1
 * Notes: First time off the track and onto the road. Here you'll face Land Rovers, Jeeps, and camper vans driving at you and getting in your way. The track starts in the city before moving into the desert land. Slow down slightly for the jumps or you'll lose control on landing. Watch out near the end when you're surrounded by cliff edges—the road splits into two, with a large rock in the middle of the road. Choose left or right early, and there's a chance to cross over sides in the middle.

North Country

 * Country: North Europe
 * Length: 4.7 Miles
 * Difficulty: Medium
 * Recommended Car: Ferrari F50
 * Notes: Little bit harder this one, although not as hard as the map looks. The four horrible looking bends are actually quite easy provided you don't cut the corner. Elsewhere you'll have trucks, Volvos, and Citroen 2CVs as traffic. Watch out about 40 seconds into the lap, the track narrows suddenly as you reach a bridge. Also right at the very end of the track the track splits into two with a pillar in the middle.

Pacific Spirit

 * Country: Canada
 * Length: 5.0 Miles
 * Difficulty: Medium
 * Recommended Car: Ford Indigo
 * Notes: Not that much to comment on this one. A very twisty track, so handling is important here. Traffic includes school buses, trucks, and Mercedes-Benzs.

Mediterrano

 * Country: Greece
 * Length: 4.0 Miles
 * Difficulty: Hard
 * Recommended Car: Ford Indigo
 * Notes: Watch out for the very steep hill at the start. Take it too fast and you'll be rolling sideways down. The other main danger comes at the end where you take the wooden bridge. Part of the barrier is missing and it's a long drop down. Land Rovers, Volvos, and Volkwagen Beetles will all get in the way.

Mystic Peaks

 * Country: Nepal
 * Length: 4.7 Miles
 * Difficulty: Very Hard
 * Recommended Car: Ford Indigo
 * Notes: This one is as hard as it looks on the map. Driving through this track is made more difficult by sloping roads making it harder to turn. Early on watch your speed over crests. Keep to the road surface especially in the snow. While also dodging Jeeps, pickup trucks, and camper vans take care through the middle of the snow section for boxes left by a crashed plane. Be careful at the end of the big wooden bridge. There is a huge drop if you're traveling too fast. Right at the end of the lap there's another middle of the road split, so be careful.

Monolithic Studios

 * Country: USA
 * Length: 4.5 Miles
 * Difficulty: Medium
 * Recommended Car: Lotus Elise GT1
 * Notes: This track is not available at the beginning of the game. To unlock it type "Hollywood" at the main menu or by beating both the Knockout and Tournament modes. This drive through filmsets does have some optical illusions which look like obstacles and vice-versa (especially in the space stage). Traffic here consists of limos and tour buses. Watch out for a steep hill in stage 4, a near vertical drop at the end of stage 6, a dinosaur on track in stage 9, and a small jump at the end of the lap.

Special Edition Track
This track is only available in the Special Edition of the game.
 * Last Resort - Based on Central and South American themes, including a coast, a rain forest, a volcano, and step pyramids.
