Introduction:

Men In Black: Alien Crisis is based off of the popular film Men In Black, and is another one of those easy to complete movie games. Two playthroughs are needed as you will unlock the Elite Agent difficulty upon completion of Agent. Make sure you have access to two controllers in order to complete the competitive V.R missions located in split-screen. The game's story mode consists of eight chapters that can easily be completed in around 3 hours.

Step 1: Playing Through The Game

Play through the game and unlock as many achievements as you can. You will need to complete the game on Agent in order to unlock the Elite Agent difficulty. If you focus on getting the kills with specific weapons then you will come out to around 780G on your first playthrough. Completing the story will take no more than 3 1/2 hours and is extremely easy. Try to upgrade your weapons and attachments as much as possible to give you an advantage when playing on Elite Agent.

Step 2: Elite Agent Playthrough

You will need to first change the difficulty to Elite Agent by entering the "Extras" located in the Main Menu. Extras > Change Difficulty > Elite Agent. Go into Chapter Select and start completing the missions. You may not even notice the increase of diffculty from your Agent playthrough since it's just as easy, and will probably only find certain boss battles to be a little more difficult then the first time playing. All of your upgrades will carry over from your Agent playthrough so I you shouldn't have a problem with making it through the missions.

Step 3: Competitive V.R Missions + Mop Up

After completing the game you will need to finish off the competitive V.R missions. There will be 12 missions that you will need to complete for the achievement. All of your upgrades will be carried over from your other two playthroughs so I suggest finishing these last. You will need access to two controllers in order to beat these, but you will not need any other assistance from a friend. The second player will follow you throughout the missions so it shouldn't be a problem. Make sure you take a look at the "Duelist" and "Conqueror" achievements listed in the guide.

Use Chapter Select to clean up any other achievements that you have missed during your first two playthroughs. If you have taken a good look in the guide then you shouldn't have a problem cleaning them up.

Conclusion

Men In Black: Alien Crisis is another one of those quick and easy 1000 games which only contains a few difficult achievements. You shouldn't have any problems completing the story on Elite Agent. Just make sure you update your weapons and attachments while progressing through the game.

Save the Universe 50
Completed all the missions in Story Mode

- Story related, cannot be missed. Unlocked after completing the game for the first time. The achievement will unlock during the credits.

Senior Agent 60
Completed Story Mode as an Elite Agent

- Elite Agent is unlocked after completing the game on Agent. From the Main Menu, Extras > Change Difficulty > Elite Agent. Make sure you do NOT start a new save; continue the game by using Chapter Select. This will allow you to keep all of your upgraded weapons and attachments for the playthrough.

You shouldn't run into any problems with your Elite Agent playthrough except for a few deaths from some of the bosses. The Elite Guards and bosses may be a pain in the ass sometimes but you shouldn't have a problem as long as you make good use of your attachments.

Elite Agent Tips:

• Upgrade your weapons and attachments! This is extremely helpful and the upgraded attachments will help you tremendously during boss fights.
• The Std. Issue 1995, BANGer, and Tribarrel are probably the best guns in the game so try to use those for most of the playthrough.
• Taking cover is useless at times when you are low on health. Try to kill the aliens as fast as you can to gain health pick-ups.

High Standards 30
Defeated Nethera and saved Catyana

- Story related, cannot be missed.

Nethera is the final boss that you have to defeat in the game. This boss battle can be extremely frustrating while playing on the Elite Agent difficulty, so make sure you have your weapons and attachments fully upgraded to give you an extra boost.

Duelist 30

You do NOT have to have a buddy with you in order to unlock this as the second player will follow you throughout the level. You will keep all of your upgraded attachments and guns from the story so it's best to save these missions for last. These missions are extremely easy and should take no more than an hour to complete all of them.

List of the 12 Competitive V.R Missions:

• Central Park Assault
• Museum Mayhem
• Underground Attack
• New Mexico Fighting
• Alien Ship Fuss
• Street Riots
• Fountain Barrage
• Museum Invasion
• Underground Offensive
• New Mexico Raid

Conqueror 25
Achieved at least 300,000 points in one V.R. Mission (P1)

- Scoring 300,000+ points is not hard at all as you will more than likely achieve well over 1 million in a mission. Just rapidly kill as many aliens you can while performing combos and you should have no problem. An easy way to gain a lot of points is by performing the "Caught" combo. First equip the Anti-Gravity Grenade by holding and pressing on the d-pad, then fire a grenade into a group of enemies by pressing . Spray the aliens down as fast as you can to achieve higher multipliers and more points.

Capture and neuralize seven humans and the achievement is yours.

Brute Force 20

Road Hog 20

Dodge and Weave 20
Dodged the mines placed by Nethera in Story Mode

- This is probably the most difficult achievement in the game. During the flying sequence in Chapter 7 Nethera will be laying down mines that you will need to avoid. As you are chasing her she will set down 3 sets of electric mines. If you think that you may have hit a mine then restart the section. Take notice of your multiplier on the top-right of your screen. If it turns red then you have been hit by a mine.

• The first set consists of 5 stationary mines that can easily be avoided by weaving through them.

• The second set will be a little more challenging, as you will need to dodge 8 vertical and horizontal mines. You will first have to dodge 4 vertical mines that are moving side by side. Try to stay in the middle of the screen to avoid them. After dodging the vertical mines, there will be 4 horizontal mines moving up and down the screen. Keep right of the screen and maneuver up and down to dodge the mines.

• The last set will be the most challenging of the sets and may cause some frustration. You will first need to dodge 2 mines together, one horizontal and one vertical. Try to stay to the bottom-right of the screen to avoid hitting them. Next you will need to dodge two of the same combination of mines but on opposite sides. Try to stay towards the middle for the first one then quickly move to the top-right to dodge the second mine. Lastly, there will be 3 mines that are spinning in circles. Stay to the bottom-right of the screen to dodge them.

*If you think you didn't get hit by a mine but didn't get the achievement - Dashboard while you're still in the car and copy your save to a USB. Doing this will allow you to retry the flying sequence without having to restart the entire level over again.*

I found you can also obtain the achievement by scanning the first hidden alien, dying, and reloading the checkpoint. Upon scanning the alien the second time the achievement will pop.

Thank you. I will update as soon as I get home.

[judd90]

What's the game like Rep? Worth playing for the 1k?

[mattybell2117]

Nice guide man. Looks incredibly similar to the guide on ps3t.org which is good I guess because that guide is great.

[oxy71]

so far pretty easy cheevos, thanks for the help

[Jonvier666]

Got 1000GS in 2 days! Very easy, I would agree 6-8 hours to complete!
I found very little difference in Elite Agent and Agent, only 3 main differences;
1- Aliens generally take a bit longer to kill, but since you will have upgraded weapons this time round it will easier at the beginning.
2- Nakkadan Elite Guard is slightly harder as he breaks into 4 instead of 3, so regenerates more health.
3- Last boss takes longer and will attack more often/harder.

Regarding avoiding the mines,
I thought I had done it but somehow I must of touched it so just be sure you have avoided them all or restart, or else you must play the whole chapter again!

Good guide, helped me a lot!

The game started off pretty fun but got very boring real quick. The game is on rails so it gets repetitive after awhile. The graphics are terrible, but then again, it is a movie game so you wouldn't expect anything great. It's definitely worth the rent for an easy 1000G, but I would not pay over $30 for this.

[McDurbin]

Thanks for the guide!

One thing I suggest it to order the achievements in your guide in the order in which they can be obtained instead of all mixed up. That way people can just scroll down and make sure they get each achievement on the first try and don't need to go through chapter select.

No problem, glad I could help.

I would order them that way, but the website's guide rules states that it must be in the order of them listed on the website in order to submit it.

[McDurbin]

Really? That makes no sense at all. I mean this is an achievement site so it should be the other way around that it has to be in the order in which you can obtain them.

[Rep]

Yeah, I know. I guess it's just how their system works.

1. Your guide layout should be submitted with the same achievement order that is listed on the site.

[True Marvellous]

Dodge mines seems a tad glitchy done it 3 time with no hits and no achievement.

[McDurbin]

You may want to add this to your guide,

For the Dodge and Weave achievement, if you thought you didn't get hit by a mine but didn't get the achievement and don't feel like replaying chapter 7 to get back to that point you can do the following. Simple go to the dashboard once your in the car and copy your save to a USB storage device then try to get the achievement. If you don't get it then go back to the dashboard and copy the save from your usb device back to your hard drive and try again. It worked for me.

Thanks. Now what exactly does that do? Does it start you off at the beginning of the flying sequence?

[McDurbin]

Yes, you start back at the flying sequence.

[Rep]

Thanks for that, man. I'll add it in a minute or two.

[McDurbin]

Not to be a bother but you worded that bit in red wrong. It should say if you think you didn't get hit by a mine but didn't get the achievement then do what I posted above about copying the save before you attempt it.

I never even used cover, I just slo-mo, kept shooting and moving left and right.

I would suggest using DOPE BOI's method for killing the boss, it made it a lot easier.

[Xenolith666]

To say this was a terribly made game is putting it mildly. Either way.. it's done.

Yet another tip for the final boss, and even on Elite Agent, I used the gun that is 'left' on the D-Pad (i forget the name) but when fully upgraded it has a burst shot.. This whittles her health down much faster than anything else. When she would spawn babies, switch to the Tri-Barrel and blast the hell out of them. I've seen a lot of people use Slow-mo for this, I personally used the shield to bounce her laser attacks back at her. And for when she charges, make sure you are moving in 1 direction, but behind the cover that is offered and she will jab her tail into the ground.. basically her tail gets stuck on the 'cover'. If it doesn't, she will continually slam her tail on the ground.
It is frustrating as hell since this is a fairly long fight and there are no checkpoints. Just keep at it.

[detrainer2]

I don't think it's a hard game to get 100%... I'll try tomorrow, so suprise me MIB!!
