Debug Displays

Codes next to O are for the Original version, and codes next to the R are for the Remix version.

One of the displays on PS2 has two pages - CPU, GPU usage, framerate and the like. They can be switched between each other by changing the xx in the codes below with either 01 or 02. The Xbox version only has a cut down variant of the 1st page present, and the same codes apply to both regions.

The other display shows a few performance graphs on the screen. This is only present in the PS2 version.

Cut Content

Cut Vehicles

Two BMWs, namely the 328i (E46) and the Z3 were found in the files, however, Rockstar never obtained a BMW license to use their cars in the actual game itself.

Also, the Mini Cooper S is found in the game files, which would have been a D Class Tuner.

Other vehicles referenced in the files include a Toyota Celica, a Mercedes-Benz Maybach, a Honda CBR, a "novagp" which may refer to a Chevy Nova, a "grandprix" which may refer to a Pontiac GXP, and ATVs/dirt bikes.

Unused Songs

Certain songs were listed in the game files but were cut, but did not make it due to licensing issues with either the artist(s) themselves.

Some songs were considered as loading screen music, but ended up being unused. One being Authority Zero's Revolution, which was also featured in MX VS ATV: Unleashed.

Opponent-only parts

Many motorcycle riders are exclusive to NPCs. A body kit for the 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS (Gen VII) and an unused aftermarket hood can also be seen on random tuners.

Platform differences

Loading screen music is only played in the PlayStation 2 version. The Xbox's loading screen is the same as the PlayStation 2, however, no music plays while the game loads.

The Xbox version supports 16:9 widescreen alongside 480p.

The PSP has a simplified loading screen likely due to hardware limitations.

The PSP version lacks damage models for every vehicle.

Also, in the PSP version, several vehicle prices were changed, such as the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR AMG (W297)'s price being increased from $725,000 to $1,400,000.

Likewise, the Cadillac Cien and Dodge Viper GTS-R Concept's prices were reduced to $100,000, and the Chrysler Me Four Twelve's price was reduced to $140,000.

The PSP version also has five exclusive songs:

• Calyx - The Things You Mean To Me
• Dom & Roland - Paradrenasite (Combined By Hive)
• Dom & Roland - Dance All Night
• Omni Trio - Renegade Snares (Foul Play Remix)
• The Martian - Tobacco Ties

Loading screen differences

The left side arrows were replaced by a wave of squares in the REMIX edition.

UI differences

The menu UI was changed from mostly blue and gold, to red and black wave of squares. Some notable changes include, the highlighter being changed from orange to white, the menu text being changed to from light blue to orange.

City Differences

In the original version, going into the City Transport in the career will send the player near the new city's City Transport Movers area, in the Remix version, the player is instead sent nearer to the city's garage.

Garage Changes

Each vehicle's proper engine sound now plays in-game when the car leaves the garage, combined with the class-specific garage engine sound.

However, the PS2 version glitches the sound if a different vehicle is highlighted/loaded.

Also, two Ducati motorcycles' prices were changed, with the SS1000's price being reduced from $12,200 to $10,995, while the Ducati 999R's price was increased from $29,995 to $31,495
