Easiest game for achievements

[~Lightning~]

I have to say that it's 'Viva Pinata'. In the 3 days I have had it I've also managed to get 660 out of 1000 achievement points with ease. Other than that I believe that Oblivion is easy to get the achievements on, it takes a while but it's pretty damn easy to actually get the points.

Your opinions?

[The Professional]

I've heard that King Kong's achievements are pretty easy to get. But the easiest of the games I have is Oblivion, it just takes a lot of time.

[Singin Hobo]

King Kong's achievements are pretty easy... the only problem is that to get them you have to PLAY KING KONG :shake: So it's hard to say whether or not it's worth it.

This is the final word on the easiest achievements possible: TMNT
It's the shortest, easiest game, there are no surprises. You get 935 points for merely beating the game, and you get the other 65 by going back and playing the first level without being killed. And it's enough fun to say that it's not as much of a punishment as playing King Kong was... but you'll have the full 1,000 in about 4-6 hours.

[Just Andrew]

The early sports games, there were only at most 8 achievements and most of them were worth over 100 GP each.

[Pumpkin Escobar]

College Hoops 2K6.

I got all 5 achievements in one game, that lasted 45 minutes. I agree that all early sports games were the easiest, no contention.

TMNT is close behind.

[Singin Hobo]

Yeah, I suck at sports games... I never could get the full 1,000 on any of those games

[Pumpkin Escobar]

That reminds me that I gotta finish Viva Pinata... I got 400 points in it quickly, then got sidetracked with something else. I've been putting it off and off and off, and I think I'll start to finish it.

I'm finishing Madden 07 right now. I got 910 in that game in 4-5 days, and then put it down for 5 months. It took me like 4 hours to get 3 achievements in it yesterday. 2 more to go and this crap is done.

[~Lightning~]

I noticed that, My brother was trying to get me to beat your achievement score on it.

[Crazy Jamie]

NBA 2K6 without a shadow of a doubt. I have rarely ever played any basketball games before, and don't follow the sport. I only bought it due to me wanting to try a few genres that I don't normally play and to expand my horizons (which is when I also bought NFS Most Wanted). It took me half an hour to get all 1000. Incredibly pointless. I did enjoy the game, though.

[360kid]

nba live 06...you get 20 GP for creating a player!

[JRatt82]

Fight Night Round 3
Took me couple hours
only game i got 1000 in besides Oblivion which took me couple months

[The_Game_Master]

Aegis (something) it was that free game from the arcade game (at least for us in america) and so far I got alot of them already :).

[nom3nc1atur4]

College Hoops 2K6.

I got all 5 achievements in one game, that lasted 45 minutes. I agree that all early sports games were the easiest, no contention.

TMNT is close behind.

No kidding, you can simulate the games and you still get the achievements.

[Corax]

Fusion Frenzy's achievements are pretty easy. But yeah, sports games and TMNT are really easy to get.

[.Killswitch.]

Fight Night Round 3 for me. Once you actually get used to it, the achievements are hella-easy to get.

[gookyd]

Viva Pinata has mostly easy achievements, with a few being harder to get. I played it for about a total of 15hrs in a 3 day period and got 720 achievements points.

[Singin Hobo]

Yeah, Viva Pinata's achievements are easily attained, but they're very time consuming... and I unfortunately had played for about 43 or 44 hours when I got my 49th achievement :shake:... the game wears pretty thin after that 49th achievement (the 50th is 'play for 50 hours', BTW)

[~Lightning~]

Ok, I've changed my mind. It has to be Samurai Warriors 2: Empires, 4 hours in and I have 650 gamerpoints from it, You basically get 100 for unlocking a scenario and another 50 for performing the title battle along with another 50 if you find a rare horse/get consultations

[Crazy Jamie]

It's true, some of those are ridiculously easy. Still not as easy as NBA 2K6, but easy nonetheless.

[dak293]

GRAW is easy to get achievments inb

[DivadMermizle]

Harry Potter Ootp 5hours-900/1000 XD only missing the hardest difficulty I thought I had it on hard but i over clicked it.....I thought it seemed to easy lol. Also Viva Piniata is simple 3days and i got all but the 50hour achivment which i couldnt do because i managed 99%completion and had nothing left lol. 3rd would be oblivion with a proper guide and class u can speed through this in a good day or so depending on ur loot and skill and if u can focus i have 1000/1000 and plan on another 250 as soon as i get 30$. Shadowrun has some decently easy achivments that can be gotten by playing it enough. With luck u can get most of them in one day aside from the play 100games as "insert race here" and unless ur really good the 100 of "insert weapon here" achivments

yes NBA 2K6 and College Hoops 2K6 are easy for sports games...the kids games such as CARS and OPEN SEASON have very easy achievments...

you should try them as well.

[Hwang]

fusion frenzy 2 is the easiest i've played

[The_Game_Master]

Aegis Wing... Just about most of it's achievments are easy to unlock...

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/790/790496p1.html

[Pumpkin Escobar]

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/790/790496p1.html

That's the stupidest article I've ever seen.

They have Call of Duty 2 as their third easiest game to get achievements in.

[Crazy Jamie]

That article is ridiculous. Call of Duty 2 shouldn't even be there. It probably wouldn't make a top 20 at the moment. The mere suggestion that getting 1000/1000 on CoD2 is easier than NBA2K6 is just unbelievable.

[Silent Kayos]

Yeah, Viva Pinata's achievements are easily attained, but they're very time consuming... and I unfortunately had played for about 43 or 44 hours when I got my 49th achievement :shake:... the game wears pretty thin after that 49th achievement (the 50th is 'play for 50 hours', BTW)
Pass Time Without Prompts or Delays
Simply press 'X' and choose the Tower of Sour (Up-Right). You can remain here for as long as you like without ever having to worry about a prompt coming up asking you about a pinata request or anything else. Note that your garden will still be in play, and your pinata are likely to get eaten, so this works best on gardens without valuables. This makes getting the 50 hour real-time achievement much easier and faster. Link (http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox360/code/932328.html)



Anyway, TMNT has the easiest game achievements. You can get them all in 3 hours.

[Pumpkin Escobar]

TMNT is NOT the easiest game.

NBA 2K6 and College Hoops 2K6 are tied for the easiest. They both take less than an hour.

[Crazy Jamie]

NBA 2K6 took me 20 minutes.

[Silent Kayos]

Wtf... Is the achievements like 750 points for holding a basket ball and 250 for dribbling?

[Crazy Jamie]

Might as well be. Either way, it's possible to get them all in one exhibition game.

[ps2maniac]

Get a Triple-Double (250 points): Get a triple-double.
Grab 20 Rebounds (250 points): Get 20 rebounds the same player.
Make 15 3-Pointers in One Game (150 points): Make fifteen 3-pointers in the same game.
Score 140 Points (200 points): Score 140 total points with any team.
Score 50 Points (150 points): Score 50 points with a single playe

[wetTBAG]

Gears of War is the easiest..NOT..NBA LIVE 06 is tho..i never play it so i only have 1 achievement...i have too many games

[The_Game_Master]

Gears of War is the easiest...
I can very well agree there... however I don't know how people get there seriously achievment...

All you really have to do to get the achievments in that game are just to play alot...

[Neo Matrix]

Phantasy Star Universe was pretty easy to get all 1000, even if it does take a while to get through the game.

[Pumpkin Escobar]

I can very well agree there... however I don't know how people get there seriously achievment...

All you really have to do to get the achievments in that game are just to play alot...

I hope you aren't being serious about that...

[Cardinal]

I can very well agree there... however I don't know how people get there seriously achievment...

All you really have to do to get the achievments in that game are just to play alot...Oh, yeah. I mean, all you have to do is spend 7 or 8 hours playing it on Hardcore to unlock those achievements and then unlock Insane. Then only another 8 or 9 hours to beat Insane.

Then, pfft, only 100 kills with each weapon? No problem!

20 wins on all Hidden Fronts maps? Easy!

100 Annex games with 3 captures in each? Ha!

10,000 kills you say? This won't take long at all!

[Darth-gamer]

For me, I thought that Tomb Raider:Legend was an easy game to get all of the achievements in.

[Pumpkin Escobar]

Tomb Raider got annoying though, because you need to play through the game three times. The time trials are easy though, as they give you way too much time to beat them.

[The_Game_Master]

Oh, yeah. I mean, all you have to do is spend 7 or 8 hours playing it on Hardcore to unlock those achievements and then unlock Insane. Then only another 8 or 9 hours to beat Insane.

actually if you were playing insane you'll get the hardcore achievment too :P.

[Cardinal]

...

You have to play through Hardcore to unlock Insane...

[Silent Kayos]

...

You have to play through Hardcore to unlock Insane...


I'm pretty sure I unlocked insane after I beat casual. I then beat it on insane and unlocked the achievements to both hardcore and insane.

[Phoenix]

According to your achievements, you completed insane over a week after hardcore.

[Silent Kayos]

According to your achievements, you completed insane over a week after hardcore.
According to my achievements I've completed both Act 4 and 5 on hardcore and insane on the same day.

http://usera.imagecave.com/Kayos/achievements.JPG

[Phoenix]

I looked for when you got Solider and Commando, not every single act.

Soldier*

anyways, what does it matter? To get all of the campaign achievements takes a good while, then multiplayer takes ages. There are tons of other games that are way easier.

It doesn't matter. I was just correcting Cardinal.

[Phoenix]

So, you didn't really want to contribute saying a game was easy for achievements or say that one game mentioned is actually hard. You just wanted to make a correction that didn't really help us find a game that's easy for achievements or anything else?

Gotcha :^:

So false information about how you can acquire achievements should just be ignored? Especially if the information could save you hours and help you complete most of the achievements in the game even quicker?

[im just 2 good]

Call of Duty 2 is super easy and you get tons of points for one achivement. You get 50 points for beating the 3 Soviet missions on EASY. I've beaten it on Veteran and I got a boatload of points.

[Phoenix]

So false information about how you can acquire achievements should just be ignored? Especially if the information could save you hours and help you complete most of the achievements in the game even quicker?

If they were extremely easy then go ahead and let us all know. Getting the majority of the achievements for GoW has taken me months.

Plain and simple, it's not an achievement game.

[Silent Kayos]

Never said it was extremely easy not did I suggest the game was an "achievement game". But if you are going to do the achievements and do not want to spend 10 to 15 extra hours completing the game on difficulty setting that you could skip then go straight to insane. It's as simple at that.

[Phoenix]

You could just play it on hardcore, which prepares you for Insane better than Casual.

[Silent Kayos]

You could just play it on hardcore, which prepares you for Insane better than Casual.

You could, but it also would take more time in the long run. Since casual is quite a bit easier than hardcore you could actually zoom through the game rather fast.

I obviously wouldn't suggest a casual gamer to jump straight into insane but for someone who is an achievement whore it would be right up there alley.


Hell, even doing the campaign in co-op with a friend would be efficient if done on the highest difficulty. It might even be easier in the long run since. The only bad parts are when you split up.

[Phoenix]

I zoomed right through Hardcore, it's not that hard. Insane was a little tough though.

[coolgamer2000]

Madden 08 has easy achievements. Did a quick "Play Now" game between the Falcons and the Buccaners and got 170 points for one game.

[Silent Kayos]

Madden 08 has easy achievements. Did a quick "Play Now" game between the Falcons and the Buccaners and got 170 points for one game.

I got 19 achievements unlocked after three "Play Now" games. I played them to half-time and then I simulated the the rest of the game. I lost two games and won 1 but I still got mad achievements for them.

[Pumpkin Escobar]

Wait a minute, you can simulate the games and still get the achievements?

[Silent Kayos]

Wait a minute, you can simulate the games and still get the achievements?

Yeah. It's neat.

You also get them in 2 player games.

[Spiner202]

But that can only be done if you super sim them...to those who don't know super sim was introduced in the 06 game and it has 2 uses I guess. Rather than simming a game, you can super sim it and call each play and your team will respond (if you are losing or something you can go in and play the game). And if you are in the middle of a game you can super sim the rest of it.

As easy as the achievements are...I only have 8 so far. There's no doubt I'll get the 1000 quickly, but I'm finding the game much harder than last year's. And my passing game gets nowhere, and my running game gets even less, and Steven Jackson is my running back! I still haven't hit 100 yards with him!

[L3prakon]

I think def jam icon is pretty easy u just play build a label on hard and u got most of them.

[Cardinal]

So false information about how you can acquire achievements should just be ignored? Especially if the information could save you hours and help you complete most of the achievements in the game even quicker? It wasn't false information. I know you can unlock Insane from beating Casual, but by beating it on Hardcore first, you would unlock the Hardcore achievements, the Casual achievements, and Insane.

[~*SUB-ZERO*~]

Ok quick question...

Do you have to get the 360 online before you can start getting achievements?

[Pumpkin Escobar]

No. Achievements can be unlocked offline. The only drawback is that when you're offline, the date the achievement was unlocked will not be logged in your profile.

[The_Game_Master]

I would say a couple from Bioshock...

Beating Ryan is the easiest, All you have to do is listen to him for 2 minutes he tells you to kill him then our guy becomes a NPC for a bit and kills him... then...
Achievment Unlocked!

Fountain wasn't that hard either... Just KO him 3 times and then the little sisters come and Pwn him... and that's worth... 100 GS...

Just about half the achievments can be done in 1 run of the game.

[~*SUB-ZERO*~]

No. Achievements can be unlocked offline. The only drawback is that when you're offline, the date the achievement was unlocked will not be logged in your profile.


So even if I never get it online I still get achievements? Also if I unlock them, will it show the date that I recieved the achievements the next time I log online with it?

[~Lightning~]

Achievements collected offline show no date EVER

[Cardinal]

Yes, you still unlock them. However, if you don't connect to the internet, there's no way to display them (such as in a gamercard in my signature) anywhere (duh).

And no, if you unlock the Achievements while playing offline, it'll NEVER say the date unlocked.

NIMRODDED

[~*SUB-ZERO*~]

Cool. I finally got a 360 so I may add a couple of you next time Im online with it.

[im just 2 good]

Fight Night Round 3 is pretty easy too.

[Cardinal]

Madden 08 is really easy. Not the easiest, of couse, but 2 games in Franchise saw me unlock 1/2 the achievements and 485 gamerscore...

[Spiner202]

you must play on rookie! I got a lot of them in my first two games, but not that many!

[Singin Hobo]

LOL... okay, I think the Simpsons game wins for easiest single achievement FOREVER...
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/achievements.php?gameID=299

[Spiner202]

Yeah that's pretty easy, along with the pwned achievement. Has anyone played the demo? I downloaded it but I haven't played it yet.

[Singin Hobo]

Yeah, I just played the demo this morning. it's definitely a classic platformer-style. I fought the giant Lard Lad... he has three hatches on his butt, back, and back-of-the-head. You knock them open with Bart's slingshot, then jump up and start pulling wires and you have to use the character's individual little skills to get high enough to pull the wires. If the other levels are much like this the 'dying ten times' achievement might actually be something of a challenge :)

It won't be the greatest game ever, but as a Simpsons fan I'm certainly going to pick it up.

[Pike]

Those look easy. I havent played the demo but I will be picking the game up close to launch. Eragon acheivments are easier than those. I think.

[The_Game_Master]

have you guys played halo 3? I got 960/1000 GS from it already... most of them were from me barely even trying...

[Singin Hobo]

It can't be said that those achievements are easy... most of them you got 'without even trying' were likely 5 each. Legendary is generally challenging and quite a few of those free-for-all achievements can be a pain in the ass.

Far from the easiest game for achievements.

[Spiner202]

Especially taking the time to find all the skulls. I only have one but I haven't been looking for them.

[Pumpkin Escobar]

Especially taking the time to find all the skulls. I only have one but I haven't been looking for them.

Well, a couple of the skulls are pretty easy, but the majority are in the weirdest, most hidden away places. Like the one on the Ark, it's on one of the beams of a bridge that you go under, and is nearly impossible to see because it's in a shadow.

[Fool's Requiem]

Tomb Raider Legends with the Strategy Guide was really easy to unlock all achievements.

If your good at Halo 3, you can get a sh*tload of achievement points. Just beating Legendary gets you 775 points.

[Dubber Rucky]

I think the easiest game for achievements to me is probably Need For Speed Most Wanted. You get all of the achievement points just by finishing the main story,

[~Lightning~]

Apparently the new CSI is amazingly easy, 5 achievements with 200 points each. All can be earned in a day or so

[Pumpkin Escobar]

CSI is VERY easy, but I find the game to be alot of fun.

Spider-Man: Friend or Foe is also really easy. Again, it can be finished in one day.

[Big]

With 4 player co-op and a few guides, I got 800 points on Halo 3. That's the most for me, so that's going to be my easiest game. Gun was also easy for some. Neither of these games are simple for getting all 1000.

I find the same, I can get into the high hundreds but then my Achievement waterfall ceases to exist. My gamertag has scores of games in the high hundreds that I can't do anything else with
