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:

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 trophy Captain’s Lament for more.

Automatic story-related trophy, cannot be missed.

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: :triangle:, :x:, :circle:, :square:, :triangle: > Press start to confirm
  • Optional: set difficulty to Easy
  • Begin Battle & defeat the boss and get your trophy
  • Repeat with all other vehicles

Freefalling
Cause either yourself or your opponent to fall off the rooftop in the Rooftop Combat level.

LEVEL 6: ROOFTOP COMBAT

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

Pump ’em Full of Lead
Defeat an opponent with the machine gun.

All vehicles have machine guns as their standard weapon. Hold :r2: 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.

If You Can’t Beat Them, Ram Them
Defeat an opponent with collision damage.

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

I Have a Special Power
Defeat an opponent with a special weapon.

Each vehicle has a “special weapon.” Use :l1: to switch weapons, then use :l2: to fire it. Defeat any opponent using the weapon. You can see which weapon you have equipped in the lower right corner.

Resourceful Driver
Collect 5 weapons in any level.

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

Can’t Hide from Me
Destroy all Calypso crates in the Arena Duel level.

LEVEL 1: Arena Duel

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

You Shouldn’t Have Parked There
Eliminate a car in the Warehouse District Warfare level.

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.

You Thought a Barrier Would Stop Me?
Blast through a road work site on the Freeway Free for All level.

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.

Strategic Break
Drive through an alley in the River Park Rumble level.

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.

Can I Ban the Van?
Eliminate a van in the Assault on Cyburbia level.

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.

Pyramid Secret
Destroy the pyramid on the Rooftop Combat level.

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.
