Man, I loved Crackdown. I need to go find a cheap copy somewhere again, so I can finish these achievements. Good video too.

I gotta say, achievements were fun to do in this game, but some were tedious. I still have to go through all the races with each vehicle to get my 1250/1250.

Great video Xav.

w00t! Good video, good times. There are a lot of fun ones in this game. tEh Ch33v0z!

PGR4 also had some fun cheevos, you guys could take a look at that one too.

How ironic I just picked up Crackdown from the bargin bin. This video will help me get an achievement or two.

Thanks for another great Points>Life Xav.

thanks for the video, though too bad you can't help me with the fact I have 299 hidden and 499 agility orbs :( sucks to be me.

JAKEJAX @ Apr 15th 2008 2:16PM

Here is a map for you.

thanks jakejax, unfortunately those don't show me the one spot where I am missing an orb, so I would have to go to all 800 locations to get 2 orbs. maybe someday I'll try...

JAKEJAX @ Apr 15th 2008 7:47PM

This is a link on that page that will give you a more detailed picture of each location. Of course like you said you would have to start from the beginning and look at each location and that would be VERY time consuming for two orbs...Question is: How bad do you want the cheevo's

i got my 500 and when the new content came out i didnt have it yet and played online with my friend and my profile got corrupted and got all 500 again. it takes time you will get it eventually

xFenixKnightx @ Apr 15th 2008 1:27PM

Damn maybe I need to rent this one eh? :)

CharleyTony @ Apr 15th 2008 1:50PM

at the price it is now, ince the halo 3 beta is kinda over (LOL) you should probably buy it used instead of just renting it !

dylan @ Apr 15th 2008 2:08PM

unfortunately your video is incorrect when it says that any fast car will do, none but the dune buggy and agency suv will drive over that lip at the edge of the building, and I can't get the agency SUV to do more than 2 1/2 flips.

Xav de Matos @ Apr 15th 2008 2:11PM

There's a YouTube or GVideo link with someone pulling it off in another vehicle.

I'll try to grab the link to show you.

j8675309 @ Apr 15th 2008 2:25PM

^Exactly what I was going to say, I have tried in this same spot, and could not for the life of me get 3 flips out of the SUV.

I knew it was possible with the Dune Buggy, hell, that makes it easy.

I also tried using keys to the city, to put a ramp truck on top the other building where the final boss is and driving an SUV off the top of that building, and always, barely not 3 flips.

I want to see this done WITHOUT the Dune Buggy X3F, since you say it can be done.
