STEP 1: Complete the Game + Earn All Misc Trophies

Pick any vehicle you want for your initial playthrough. I recommend that you set the difficulty to easy in the “options” menu after you’ve picked your vehicle. You need to complete all 6 levels and a boss fight. There’s a few misc trophies that you need to be aware of. Besides the level specific trophies listed below, you need to defeat one opponent with collision damage, one with machine guns and one with a special weapon – they will most likely unlock without even trying.

Misc Trophies:

• LEVEL 1: Arena Duel – Can’t Hide from Me
• LEVEL 2: Warehouse District Warfare – You Shouldn’t Have Parked There
• LEVEL 3: Freeway Free for All – You Thought a Barrier Would Stop Me?
• LEVEL 4: River Park Rumble – Strategic Break
• LEVEL 5: Assault on Cyburbia – Can I Ban the Van?
• LEVEL 6: Rooftop Combat – Freefalling & Pyramid Secret

General gameplay tips:

• Abuse Health Stations – these stations are marked with a white X on the map. If you get low on health, drive around until the refresh.
• Abuse Rewind – it’s possible to pause the game at any time and rewind the gameplay to earlier in the level. You can rewind to moments just before you took damage or lost a life. This makes the game almost laughable easy.
• Go for Weapons – new and more powerful Weapons are mandatory for defeating the enemies efficiently. They spawn all around every level and are often hid behind destructibles like crates or vents.

STEP 2: Defeat the Final Boss with the Other 11 Vehicles

This is easier and quicker than it might seem at first. You start at the final boss if you use a password after selecting your vehicle. This will reduce each “playthrough” with more than 30 minutes! It will take you around 5-6 minutes per vehicle using the code method – see Captain’s Lament for more.

After completing the final level: Rooftop Combat, you’ll get a screen with the boss named Minion spawning on the same map.

The best strategy for defeating the boss is to destroy the pyramid (see Pyramid Secret), drop down in the new area, destroy all the plants for additional weapon spawn, and most importantly – use the health station (flashing white X on the map).

When you get low on health, leave the area and drive around until the health station refreshes.

Finally, you can pause the game and then scroll back in time to before you lost a life or took damage! This is basically cheating, but will save you a lot of time. This feature was not present in the PS1 version.

There is a super easy and quick method to complete the game and earn the trophy for a specific vehicle. Using the method below, it’ll take you around 5-6 minutes for each vehicle.

Remember that you can pause the game during the final boss to rewind and recover lost health or lifes.

• CHEAT CODE METHOD:
• Pick your desired vehicle
• Go to options > Password
• Input the code: , , , , > Press start to confirm
• Optional: set difficulty to Easy
• Begin Battle & defeat the boss and get your trophy
• Repeat with all other vehicles

LEVEL 6: ROOFTOP COMBAT

Simply drive over the edge and die. Pause the game and rewind to keep your life – simple.

All vehicles have machine guns as their standard weapon. Hold to fire them at enemies. You might want to bring your opponents health down using other weapons – machine guns don’t damage that much, and they overheat quickly.

Super simple, ram any opponent with low health to defeat them with collision damage.

Each vehicle has a “special weapon.” Use to switch weapons, then use to fire it. Defeat any opponent using the weapon. You can see which weapon you have equipped in the lower right corner.

This can be done on any map and will most likely unlock during your first playthrough or during the final boss. Weapon pickups are purple/red looking orbs, they spawn around every map. Some weapons spawn after you destroy a crate or other type of destructible

LEVEL 1: Arena Duel

There are crates located around the 1st map with the text “Calypso.” Destroy all of them to unlock the trophy.

LEVEL 2: Warehouse District Warfare

This is another simple trophy. There are cars parked all around the map, destroy one of them to unlock the trophy.

LEVEL 3: Freeway for All

You’ll find the road work site near the middle of the map. You can access the area from small tunnels near the center.

LEVEL 4: River Park Rumble

The alleys in Level 4 can be quite hard to spot because of the pixels. The alleys are located near the starting spawn. The alleys are narrow and placed so that it leads through a building, instead of inbetween two buildings.

LEVEL 5: Assault on Cyburbia

Another quick and easy trophy. You’ll see vans parked all around the houses and buildings near the center portion of the map. Destroy it in any way you please in order to unlock the trophy.

LEVEL 6: Rooftop Combat

This is done on the last level. You can shoot and destroy the big pyramid near the center of the map. It’s highly recommended that you destroy it as it reveals a health station and additional weapons.
