http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/985/UPsuORQ=.jpg Power Player (20G): Use all the Power Squares in Connect 4X4 Remix

 

There has been alot of confusion on this one.. here's the details!

You need to get one of each of the 7 power squares in one game of Connect 4x4 Remix! It's not all the power squares on the board as some have thought. I was commonly missing the Green spaceship.

 

Power Squares:

Teleport (Blue Arrow)

Points 5

Points 10

Bonus Turn (Single Gold Star)

Detonate (Bomb)

Star Cluster (showers the board with your color chips)

Magnet (Green Spaceship)

 

This can easily be attempted with 4 controllers. Otherwise I suggest the achievement trading thread. Set the game to Remix, 5 minutes in length should be plenty of time, and just get 1 of each of the above power squares.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/985/UPrOwYc=.jpg Red Leader (20G): Win a game in all modes of Connect 4X4 using red chips only.

 

Simply win a game of Normal and Remix Connect 4x4. If you are player 1 than you will always be the red chips. Also easily done with 4 controllers to avoid the hassle of the AI.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/985/UPzYwQo=.jpg Fourmost (30G): Win 20 games of Connect 4X4 in any game mode

 

Just win 20 games of Connect 4x4, doesn't matter if it's Original or Remix. Also best done with the 4 controller method. Otherwise visit the achievement trading thread.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/985/UPkPMKE=.jpg Spoilsport (25G): Block a Connect 4 fifteen times in any game mode in Connect 4x4

 

This will probably come naturally with playing for 20 wins. Once an opponent gets 3 chips in a row, block the Connect 4 with your chip. Better done in Original mode, and also best done with the 4 controller method while racking up 20 wins.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/985/UPjvyDI=.jpg Smarter than the Machine (20G): Outsmart the AI player in Original Connect 4X4 single player

 

The only suggestion is to set the AI difficulty to "Novice" to get the win. And you're playing against 3 AI players instead of one.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/985/UP8ZMCw=.jpg Block Around the Clock (20G): Win a game with a blocker in Original Connect 4X4 only

 

Best done against the Novice AI or with 4 controllers. You need to block their Connect 4x4 by pressing "Y" (your chip will change into a blocker chip) and win the match by scoring a Connect 4x4.

I personally used 4 controllers and had player 2 set 3 in a row on the left going towards the center, while I set chips on the right towards the center. The other two players I just stacked on top and out of the way. When there were 3 chips on either side, I pressed "Y", dropped the blocker and got the win by blocking player 2's chips.

 

 

Secret Achievement

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/985/s4.jpg 4x4 in 44 (15G): Made a Connect 4 in under 44 seconds in any game mode

 

Again, check the achievement trading thread, but easiest done with 4 controllers. Just drop opponent chips out of the way and set yours up in a line in less than 44 seconds. Done!

 

 

Anyway.. that's the guide.. hope this provides some clarity for everyone! Enjoy. Feel free to post comments or questions!

Some clarification:

 

You don't have to block their Connect 4x4 with a blocker and win the match by scoring a Connect 4x4 at the same time, you can simply win the match by scoring a Connect 4x4 with a blocker chip. That's how i got the achievement, otherwise it's very hard to do it without 4 controllers. I got the achievement with 2 controllers (with 2 Novice AI's). I put 3 red chips next to each other (it doesn't matter wich one, plain/full one or the ring stylish one) either horizontal, vertical or diagonal then used the red blocker chip to make/complete the Connect 4x4 (of course, the AI must not block your 3 chips, the space next to the 3 chips must be empty), so it's all random. If you see that there is a free space next to your 3 chips, put quickly a red blocker chip, you will win the game and get the achievement too.
