Welcome to Scrap Metal! Fans of Micro Machine on N64 and games like Twisted metal will love this throw back to classic games gone by. While there isn't much depth to the game, it's still a fun game to play through with a few frustrating parts thrown in for good measure.

 

Playthrough 1:

Just Playthrough the game. There are 61 levels in all (including Boss fights). Just beat all the levels trying to get as many gold star games as possible. Doing this will net you 8 achievements for 115 GS. Refer to the achievement guide for some info on specific boss battles.

 

Playthrough 2:

This is the hard one and the reason it is a lot longer to get the 200 GS then it looks. You must get a Gold Star in EVERY event in the game for the "Bling bling" achievement worth 25 GS. Just use the level select to pick which ones you need to do and practice until you have it done. This is also good to be left until the end of the game as you'll have unlocked all of the vehicles with better weapons for some of the more challenging derby's. Check out THIS thread for tips on some of the harder levels. Remember to check the class of your vehicle before jumping in as some races have a class limit.

 

Online:

A very easy 60 GS (3 achievements), the online can be done in about 15-20 minutes. Set up a private match and invite a friend (achievement trading thread HERE) and trade wins. See the achievement guide for specifics on each achievement.

 

Conclusion:

Not too time consuming minus the gold star achievement, but a fun game with quite a bit of replay value. If you still have any questions, post below or check the forums. feel free to send me a message as well. Congrats on finishing Scrap Metal!

 

Achievement Guide:

Complete the Single Player tutorial mission.

 

The first achievement you will get. The tutorial starts on it's own at the beginning of the game and consists of a few laps and learning the controls. You'll get the achievement as soon as you finish the tutorial.

Defeat the Awesomeland End Boss

 

Progress through all 7 stages of Awesomeland and beat Mr. Awesome to get the achievement. All Mr. Awesome does is laps around the track, he doesn't even fire at you. So chase after him and wear down his health. There are no other enemies on the map, but he does regain a bit of his health every now and then. Wear down his health before you do the max number of laps and this will unlock.

Defeat the Gastown End Boss

 

Make your way through all 8 stages of Gastown and beat Sal, the end Boss. Sal's only attack is the front of his tractor which can flip you into the air, dealing a lot of damage. Pick a car that is fast and can spin on a dime fairly easily and has long range weapons. I personally used the Classic Cruzer which has x2 machine guns and I just kept doing figure eights around Sal while shooting. Just move quickly when he's close to you. Also, stay away from the left hand side fo te arena. The water will slow you down.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1199/--ynYg==.jpg Semi Slapshot 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Defeat the Coal Harbour End Boss

 

You need to beat stage 7 of 8 in the Coal Harbour level to get this achievement. Semi slapshot drive around in a Semi truck dropping explosive barrels behind him. You just need to follow him and chop away at his health. He is pretty fast, so once again use a fast car (I used the Classic Cruzer again, fully upgraded). His little buddies will be a pain as they ram you off of the road. Remember to take as many shortcuts as you can to get to slapshot quickly as you don't need to complete laps.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1199/-hxf8Q==.jpg Alex Alternator 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Defeat the Motordome End Boss

 

Make your way through all 8 stages of the Motordome and beat Alex Alternator (for the 2nd time!) to get this achievement. Alex drives the rugged van, which is a supped-up monster truck with rocket launchers. I used the regular Monster Truck with fully upgraded armor and spiked ram. Just keep doing donuts around Alex and nail her with the ram. Each direct hit takes off 2-3 stars, so it shouldn't take you too long.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1199/-D1WRA==.jpg Petrov Piston 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Defeat the East District End Boss

 

Make your way to stage 7/8 in the East District and defeat Petrov Piston for this achievement. The only thing Petrov has going for him is a super fast car! As long as you can keep up with him you shouldn't have any huge problems with this one. I used the V8 Muscle Car with fully upgraded speed and half upgraded firepower. Remember you can't let Petrov lap you or go backwards through the map to get the kill, you have to follow him. Also, buy 4 nitros before you start and pick up any many as you can on the track (you can get them by shooting them as well). A few well placed shots and the achievement is yours!

Defeat the Wetlands End Boss

 

Make your way to stage 7/8 in the Wetlands and beat Cletus Clutch to get this achievement. Cletus isn't too hard, just annoying do to the swam of bees following you. Cletus is only really dangerous at close range do to his shotgun. Once again, I used the V8 Muscle Car with fully upgraded weapons, amour and speed. Same tactics as before, just do figure eights all around him and take a couple shots as you pass by. I barely took any damage at all this way and got it on my first try.

Defeat the Downtown End Boss

 

Final level in the game. Make your way to stage 9/10 in the Downtown area and beat Ricky Bricktop for this achievement. Ricky's tank does quite a bit of damage and can hit from a pretty long range. Combine that with his thugs trying to take you out makes this mission a bit tricky. Personally, I found the fully upgraded Monster truck worked the best. While this method took a bit longer, every time you take out one of the thugs he will drop a landmine. Plant this in front of Ricky for him to run over to deal a bit of damage then hit him with your Spiked ram, rinse and repeat. Go for the health upgrades as soon as you see them. As long as you keep moving, Ricky will have a hard time getting a clear shot on you. Good luck!

 

For tips on beating Eric the "Eel" Tricity check out this thread

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1199/-xpCSg==.jpg Bling bling 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Achieve all gold medals for all Single Player missions.

 

You need get a gold medal in all 61 race events in the game for this to unlock.

 

- In derby matches, you need to get the maximum number of kills listed on the bottom left of your screen. Keep checking that to see your progress.

- Race matches, obviously, come in 1st place.

- Target matches - Just eliminate the target in the allotted time. Coming in 1st doesn't matter

- Survivor - Just survive the set amount of time for each of the 3 stars. There are (usually, not always) no heath kits to grab.

 

If you are having trouble with a specific level, check out THIS thread.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1199/-KSviw==.jpg King of the Hill 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Win first place in an Xbox LIVE King of the Hill match.

 

Easily boosted with a friend in Private matches. You'll still have 4 bots playing with you, which can be frustrating sometimes, but shouldn't be a problem to win. You get points for being in 3rd, 2nd and 1st as well as taking out enemies. As long as you have the most points at the end, the achievement will pop. Easiest level is garage.

Win first place in an Xbox LIVE Race match.

 

Just win an XBL race. This can be boosted in a private match with a few bots. Just have your partner run interference for you and take 1st place. The achievement will pop at the end of the race. The easiest track is garage.

I found this achievement really easy, the achievement i found really difficult was the destroy 20 cars in one derby. but i found an easy way to do this you go on the destruction derby bowl with the car with the grenade launcher and just hold the weapon button until you until 20 you'd be suprised how quick it mounts up i got 24 doing it this way.

That one was super easy the king of hill is the tough one b/c cpu always catches up and passes you making it impossible to catch up to him.

 

Well Coal Harbor with Grenade launcher really helps make this achievement easy lol!

Don't bother posting unless it's a useful post. Posting "finish the game first" is not a useful post.

 

 

Thanks for the guide and no offense but...

 

Sorry, this is funny. The first guide I've ever seen someone say this, or ever. Telling people in a post, not to post. Yeah right, not on this site lol. That's like someone saying, don't post your guide unless it's finished.

 

Here is something useful, you "obvioulsy" need to check your spelling. :)

LOL!

 

You can post whatever you want, I don't care. I usually leave a comment like that up until I've done updating it on day 1. I've done a few guides for the site now and while I'm in the middle of updating it, some jackass (;)) will always post "nice guide jk" or "finish u guide 1st lmao lol wtf". It's not constructive and it does nothing but get your post count up and is considered spamming, which you can be infraction or banned for.

 

And my apologies for spelling that wrong. God kill me now!

 

And nice job on the "No offense, but..." line. Classic.

I was being serious about that though. So then, yes offense?

 

Aww, you edited it before I could say, "offense is spelled with an S", lol. I saw you spell it with a C.

 

Anyways, I plan on getting this game and the rest of the Block Party games for the MS points back deal. Hopefully I can contribute something useful soon. :p

I got the Derby achievement for junking 20 cars on the one level where you are all 18 wheelers with a flame thrower and blades. Doing that with 4 humans, since the other 4 CPU vehicles will be smaller cars lead to me getting 37 kills per say. This after trying other levels and getting 19 four different times. Found that level easy, sorry forgetting the name. It's one of the last one's and it's a "hard" level, if that helps.

For the derby matches, the amount you need for a gold varies. It says 15 in your guide but I think the one I did about half an hour ago needed like, 25-30. I don't really remember lol, just something I spotted whilst reading. Good guide though.

 

Edit: I just done Slapshot, it was really hard in the cruzer, I tried 5 or 6 times but just kept dying. I did it with the bulldozer on my 2nd go. I effectively ignored Slapshot and just went for the guys protecting him. With a fully upgraded pulverizer they die in seconds, and then I just spammed the special weapon (a trap) that you get for killing them round the track, they take 2-4 stars off of Slapshot each time he runs over one.

Yeah, I've noticed that too. It all depends on the particular match. I'll edit that now, Thanks.

Really? I got it my 1st try in the cruzer. Nice tip though.

Okay, I know I'm probably just bad, but the final tank boss took me like three tries and was a major pain. I ended up using the V8 Muscle Car completely upgraded and just killed the little gangsters, picked up the mines, and planted them in front of the tank then RAN. That cannon is strong. And then, if I got a skull and bone cross powerup I just sprayed him. It was somewhat tedious, but I tried just charging with a stronger vehicle to no avail. Because of that win I just 200/200 this game!

 

Oh, and I don't think the 200 took that long. Four hours maybe? Never had trouble til the final boss.

i completed it in about 6 hours, few difficult levels and the multiplayer depends on the skill of your opposition but a quick and easy game [checked the leaderboards and 325 have completed it so far]

 

Cool man. I'm timing how long it is taking me. So far I'm on 6.5 hours with 8 gold medals remaining. I'll probably bump the time down on bit as I honestly thought the gold medals would be a lot harder than that.

 

Thanks for the info.
