[Busted] is a simple yet addictive game where you guide a sports car or other vehicle through crowded city streets, collecting cash and power-ups while avoiding the wrath of the cops hot on your tail. You'll need to react quickly to keep your run going, or risk being pulled over - or wrecked - in the spectacular fashion.
Here are some tips to help you get the most out of [Busted].
Another useful power-up is the Nitro can. By grabbing this, you'll double your speed, which will not only help you escape the cops pursuing you, but also ram any vehicles - cops included - in your way.
The Magnet power-up allows you to collect any cash in your vicinity, even if it's above you on a ramp. It floats to your car automatically for a few seconds, so don't miss this.
Finally, the 2X cash doubler does exactly what it says, multiplying your cash value for a limited amount of time.
The first is braking. By using this, you can avoid close collisions, making it easier to change lanes and collect cash. However, don't go too slow. It'll give the opportunity for them to bust you, through a meter in the lower corner. Quickly get back up to speed.
The other is being able to ram cars off the road. However, you can't do it straightaway, as a front or mid collision with a cop car will result in a crash. Once they're close to you, though, you can ram them and earn additional points, which adds to your cash total at the end of the round.
You can also ram cops if you have a nitro activated, as you won't crash while it's in use. Keep these tactics in mind.
There are two cars you can start with, though, and the game doesn't punish you by forcing you to pay. You can earn a pretty good amount of cash on each run, so you should only drop real money if you want the better cars right away. Cash purchases vary, from $0.99 for 10,000 to $19.99 for 500,000. There's also an option to remove those annoying pop-up ads for $1.99 - but you can skip those.
