Hard Target - Some players have claimed that they are sure that they have died, but still gotten the achievement. Others have experienced the exact opposite and have not gotten the achievement and are sure they did not die.
Drop Dead - Most people don't unlock this achievement until their second playthrough. My theory is that it takes a certain number of those scenes to unlock it. I say this because I know for sure I saw every scene in the first playthrough, but it didn't unlock. To be safe just watch the scene every time one happens.
Impulse 9 - Several players have collected all of the weapons but failed to receive the achievement. Unfortunately the only fix for this is to replay a new game and collect them all again.

This game is one of the easiest 1000 on the XBox 360. Although the game is not of the greatest quality, glitchy and takes some time to get used to, it is not difficult at all. Given the game's relatively easy difficulty and short time to complete, you'll have it back at the rental store in no time.
Introduction
Welcome to Jumper. This game has a total of 20 achievements and requires two playthroughs to get 1000 . The two playthroughs are needed because you must get 45000 xp which can't be done in one playthrough. Of the achievements only one is unlocked simply by playing through the story. The remaining achievements are unlocked by performing certain maneuvers or collecting certain items.
In addition to the glitched achievements mentioned above, the game also has other glitches that you should know about. Often times the camera will get stuck in walls or other places. If this happens click the . Another glitch happens on level 4 (labs) after dying to the final boss (by the big red machine). Upon reloading the game you may be put underneath some stairs behind an invisible wall that won't let you leave. To fix this, try walking towards the bottom step hopefully you will suddenly appear on the steps. Lastly sometimes you or enemies will get stuck in walls or objects. To fix this quit out and then continue.
Step 1: Playthrough #1
For your first playthrough, don't worry about dying or going fast. The purpose of this playthrough will be to get all of the collectibles and familiarize yourself with the gameplay. Make sure to use achievement guide to find the location of all collectible items. The collectible items in the game are Comic Books, Collectibles (duh), Weapons and Drop Zone sequences that must be watched in their entirety. For the final bosses there are two strategies you can use that work.
#1. (From Cappoci 007): If you slide at them they will fall and it can't be reversed. When you do your slide and they go into the air, quickly hit and give them another shot real quick then back away before they get up. If you do this over and over it can't be stopped. I replayed the last level and got all the way to the final boss without dying. As for the very last boss, take out everyone that comes into the room. First its the 2 girls then the 1 male, then 2 males. They come in that order. After they are taken out continue to use the slide method. I ended up beating the final boss with a health potion available that I didn't need to use.
#2. Use combos and power moves. For Roland or Final boss, just do a combo on them and wait till either the or side is open and do a power move. You want either of these two because they are fast and do not give the enemy time to counter or jump in the air. After you do this just combo to build up the meter and then power move either or again. For the final boss make sure you take out his minions first then focus on him again.
Last, DO NOT skip the credits. If you do, some people have reported that when they continue the game it resets their stats and weapons.
Step 2: Playthrough #2
Now that you've collected everything in the game, it's time for the second playthrough. If you did not get everything in playthrough #1 it can be picked up on this run. To start your second playthrough select continue game. DO NOT select new game or all of your progress for the first game will be erased. By hitting continue game you start the game over with the experience you finished the previous playthrough with, and you'll have the Chinese Longsword. Having this weapon will allow you to fly through the game making the Speed Demon achievement very easy to get. You also DO NOT want to die on this playthrough. The method I used to get this was if you think you're going to die, pause the game (before you die) and quit. Then hit continue game in the main menu and try again. For some levels it actually restarts you at a check point instead of the beginning of the level. If you do die, pause the game before it reloads and turn off you're Xbox immediately. Then load it back up and try again.
Conclusion
That's it! If you're at this point and have not gotten any of the achievements simply continue your playthrough and go for what you're missing. Follow-on playthroughs are usually very quick (around 40-50 minutes). The key is to not let the game frustrate you too much or you'll end up getting rid of it long before you get the 1000 .
