I can't recall if I used the SUV or Supercar. I do know that I was 4* in driving, I believe, when I got it.
Thanks for the tip. Can't believe I hadn't tried that yet. Got the achievement last night by finding a nice place to set the ramp truck and then jumping off it at full speed with the 4* SUV.

If the person throwing you is 4* on strength and agility, you should flip every time they throw you. Make sure they're aiming out and throwing you at the top of a jump. Oh, and that they're actually throwing you with the R-trigger instead of just dropping you with the b button.

Oh. That could be it. Thanks.

I helped a friend get that achivement. I just picked up the SUV, looked straight up, pressed right trigger to throw the SUV. He flipped in the car and landed on the wheels giving a 1x barrel roll. Repeat 5 more times until achievement unlocks.

I found the supercar didn't always land on the wheels. The SUV worked perfect. 6 throws...6 rolls...achievement.

For those still needing the repo man achievement, there's a new update for the game. According to MajorNelson, the update includes some online tweaks as well as an increase in gang controlled cars throughout the city.

Cool. I wandered around for a half hour the other day and only managed to jack 3 cars before I gave up. That is fucked up.

Got the 6 stunts in 60 seconds finally. Hit the beach. Helped my brother get it by tossing him in the SUV.

I have 8 Agility Orbs left and 3 Hidden ones. I've wandered everywhere and it is driving me nuts. With that many Agility ones left, there has to be a cluster of buildings somewhere I missed. That's how I found the 5-6 previous to those. Any tips from people that got them all on where their last few were?

So I was in EB yesterday, picking up some DS accessories, and another customer is making a purchase and trying to trade in this game. The clerk tells him that it's on the exclusions list.
The guy trading is was shocked..."already?"
I have a feeling this game was hyped a bit too much, or people just bought it for the Halo beta and traded it in immediately, but regardless, the shelf there was full of used copies.

Wow.. Hyped up to much? I don't think it was hyped enough IMO. This has been one of my favorite games of the 360 yet!

Do you have to physically remove the gang members out of the car and then drive for a few seconds?? You can't just wait until they drive up and get out and then take their car?

From what I read and the way I did it to get the achievement. You have to carjack them when the car is flashing red, then drive until you get the music selection pop-up. Once you get that, you can exit the car and try again.

It took me a while to get it, but I finally did one day.

I love this game for the 360, but I wish there was more replay in the game. If you have no desire to get everything, theres really only so much you can do after beating the game.

i wish they would have added some type of death match option. I love killing my co-op partner with rockets, and jumping around like a nut.

Those are rumors for the DLC coming. There will be more things to do in co-op.

I'm with you. Crackdown has been amazing.


I do hope something like my tranq gun idea is in the DLC.

I wish they would update and fix the targeting. I know the developer said they intentionally let you target dead bodies because "tests" show that's what people liked. But I find it a pain in the ass during a firefight.

Crackdown is amazing. It hasn't really been hyped that much, IMO. They've had one commercial and print ads in magazines. Pretty low-key.

That is one of my big issues with the game. In a fight with many gang members, I found myself auto-targeting dead bodies far more often then the ones shooting at me. I had to manually target them.

I really hope that a new gang, or at least some new bosses, are added in the DLC. It would also be bad ass if they added another level or two to each ability. I'm in the 499 club on agility orbs and can't get too excited about searching every possible rooftop looking for that last one. If I were also leveling up the whole time, I think I'd have it in me to spend some more time looking.

I've only recently found the 500th orb, wasn't even looking for it and there it was on top of a building in the Los Muertos area. I'm pissed about that since I must have passed that area more than enough times not bothering to look up once. What's worst is that when I found agility orb 499 a few weeks earlier, it was two blocks away from 500, right above the entrance to a building.

Just have to be observant whereever you go i guess. Also, if you haven't completed all the foot races yet, I would give that a try. There were numerous times where during a race an orb would come into view due to that race's path.

Muertos is the only island I haven't gone through with a fine comb yet, so maybe I'll get lucky.

I did the foot races long ago, and I did find a few off the beaten path that way. The only race I have left is 'the Den' car race. I think I posted above that I beat it, but I was mistaken.

I've rented it through gameznflix. It's very fun. Strange thing, though : I was hunting the sub-boss Mikhalov and when I found him at the docks, he immediately plummeted to his death. I don't think I even took a shot at him. I think it's the first time in my gaming experience that a boss committed suicide. I had thought that must be a story element, but checking gamefaqs, I guess it isn't. Anyways, it was weird.

Anyone else think the game gets too easy after you pick up a firefly or a hothead? After that the non-suicidal bosses are sitting ducks.

There is a TON of new DLC coming for Crackdown, including 350 new achievement points. Some free content and some premium content.

Read more about it.

The Street Race achievement will be one I doubt many will get. Worth 150 for winning EVERY race with EVERY car.
