Introduction
Welcome to Score International Baja 1000. This game has 26 achievements for 1000 GS. This game only requires 1 career play through but you will have to replay certain races to unlock all the achievements. I recommend you read through this entire Road Map before you begin playing. You will need to place first in every race, which is made MUCH easier as you reach the end of the career and unlock some fast vehicles. You can replay an event anytime, once it is unlocked. The BIGGEST challenge of this game is dealing with the Run-Your Ass-Over A.I. and the crappy level design. The good news is that once you get a fast dirt bike you will blow doors on the A.I. and since there are only a handful of maps you’ll learn them quickly.
Part 1- Career Mode Focus on just finishing the career.
To get the majority of the achievements, all you have to do is play through the career. The next event level (or ticket) will only open once you have gained a set number of points in the previous level. If you’re struggling on a certain event, skip it and finish some others Whenever possible use a dirt bike. They are faster and more maneuverable than any other vehicle types in the game.
Part 2- Replay Events
Here is where you’ll go back and win every race and unlock every vehicle. · As you progress you will unlock (slightly) better vehicles, use these to go back and win the races that you still need. The requirements for unlocking vehicles are posted on the vehicle selection screen and are easy to understand. I first focused on trying to unlock as many dirt bikes as possible because I knew this would make winning the races much easier. Use to boost and to reset your vehicle if you get off track or stuck. · You will only have to do extra work to unlock one vehicle – Tardan Senior Trophy Truck (knock off 100 opponents). This is easily done by starting the event in Ticket #7 – 7 dirt bikes vs. 1 truck. From the starting position take out as many other riders as possible (probably 1-3 max), then simply restart the race. Don’t waste your time trying to catch the others and finish the race. The knockoffs will accumulate but WILL NOT AUTOSAVE, you MUST go to the menu and save before signing out of the game.
· The only other slightly tricky achievement is All Skill. Once you have a fast dirt bike (Blue Lightning) find a simple track that you know really well, do not take any damage (check the display for a visual guide) and place in the top 3, you do not have to win.
Conclusion Score International Baja 1000 is not Dirt, but with some patience you can get the full 1000 gamerscore from this game relatively simply.
