I've decided not to bother getting the hidden ones. Well, maybe one day when I'm really really really bored...

All the hidden ones I have I've just stumbled across during my other gameplay - still have 200 though

Actually searching for the last few will get frustrating I bet...

Theres 2, one at top of car park in the bit with the stairs, one in the main caqr park, think 2nd level.

i think it's the second one as i remember getting the one at the very top of the car park before. It's the other one i can find anywhere

it seems as if its in the level below the carpark but i can't figure out how to get in there as it looks to be a sealed office :confused:

Aye, I'm on about 200 as well. It's the thought of getting a guide / map and working through it I don't fancy

There's no way I'm doing that!

I tried it for the red baloons on GTA:VCS, and I still only have 95 (of 99), AND i've crossed every one off the list - three times

I'n just too thick, obviously...

Orb hunting is something I will do over time I'm not going to spend hours and hours hunting for them in one spell. I will just look from time to time.

The Car stunts have me confused though. Some of them, I just cant see any way of getting to them. Like the one that is in view when you come out of the agency on the Shi-gen island.

If you’re dedicated enough I reckon you could do the hidden orbs in 3 hours

Using this map:

A good bit of hunting methodology would be to note down any locations where you were unable to find the orb or thought you already had it. That way once you’re done, if somehow you missed one, you only need to check the ones you’ve noted down.

You have to be very good at the S-Bend - using a 4* SUV you can come out with enough spped and whack B in time to make this one, it takes a bit of practice

Bah I knew it had to be a 4* thing. (BTW what happens when you whack B) Is this a 4 star specialty?

Hold down B...

Supercar = Guns
Truck = N.O.S
SUV = Jump (does time out if held for too long) also holding B allows driving up walls

Well that explains a few things. I think I may be running over some gang members to get my 4 star rating (I was trying to do it using the jumps but most that I have found seemed out of my reach)

Yup the SUV @ 4* is a must, so much fun the Jump boost it gives you allows so much more height

Quit back to the main screen or the next time you go on the game they'll be the option for gangs to be on or off...

I had something similar in GTA Vice City. I bought a strategy guide to help me complete it 100% but I just couldnt get that last unique stunt jump. The thing is I knew which one it was but couldn't get the B to activate properly - persiverance paid off in the end though

Sorry - a bit off topic there.

I have to say that I'm loving crackdown, it's filled a need which has been building from within for a while. I have just not really found any games to be very satisfying lately until I played this

BloodWolf · 18 Mar 2007 at 21:31

Awsome game. Though keeps gettin a lot of pop ups of people trying to "join" my game, gets annyoing.

SgtTupac · 18 Mar 2007 at 21:32

Seems to be a good all round game! Im gonna load it up again lol! been playing it since 3pm!!!

Such fun.. only ones im gonna struggle with are the Orbs... I got 419.. Doubt ill be able to find all 500

drunken fool · 19 Mar 2007 at 08:30

Hidden orbs completed

spent an hour looking for the last one and then discovered a gab to the level below where it was hidden!

Only 17 normal ones left. Hoping that i can just jump around the roof's to find them all.

Think it's stunt rings and co-op next though.
