Estimated achievement difficulty: 2/10

Minimum playthroughs: 1

Miss-able achievements: None!

Glitched achievements: possibly one...

 

This game is extremely easy and you should be able to get at least 800 within 5 hours easily, and should even be able to get the full 1000G in under 5 hours.

 

The game is a fairly simple story where you will get 15 gamerscore achievements for every level. The first level may take up to 20 minutes because it is basically a tutorial, but the rest should be under 10 minutes if you hurry. There are also achievements for collecting crystals. There are three crystals in each level, none of them very well hidden.

 

You can also buy some crystals in the store. After that, to finish up the achievements, there are some challenges to do, none of which being very hard. After that, you should have the full 1000G. I did encounter a glitch on mine where I got the achievement for finding all the crystals in the game, but not all the blue crystals in the game. Considering that the blue crystals are part of the ones you have to collect to get the other achievement, I have no idea how to explain this. However, I looked at guides everywhere and can't find anyone else with any glitched achievements, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Complete the Game

 

You will get all of the above achievements simply by playing through the game. None of the levels are hard at all. If you don't collect the crystals and just shoot straight through, you should be able to beat the game in about 3 hours. You can then go back to each level to collect the crystals, or you can do it while completing the game, it doesn't matter either way.

None of the crystals are very hard to find, but they may take a few minutes. If you are trying to get through quickly, you can find some great guides all over the internet. (I used the one at http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...d.php?t=157965 and I thought it was great).

This is the easiest achievement in the game. You can go to the credits through the main menu, or wait until after you beat the game to view them. Surprisingly, they are only about five minutes long, so not bad at all for an easy 10G.

You need to hit 700 again, but this is ridiculously easy. Shoot at the huge dinosaurs to rack up tons of points. You should get at least 1000 your first try.

Complete Saving Sid Challenge in under 2 minutes 50 seconds

 

This challenge is another timed one. You need to complete all three objectives in under two minutes and fifty seconds. The objectives are to kill 25 dinosaurs, kill 10 plants, and fly through ten smoke rings. Go for the smoke rings first but make sure you're shooting at the other things as you do it. Some of the plants are fairly tricky to find, so you may need to take a few tries to memorize where the plants are, but then you'll have it.
