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.

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...

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

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.

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.

^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.

I think I may have done three flips in the SUV by driving up wangs tower and falling off backwards.

nah, this is cool. I just wanted to see it done with a game included car.
