Crash Time 4: The Syndicate
Crash Time 4: The Syndicate is a mission-based driving game, first released for the PC and Xbox 360 in 2010, then finally ported onto the PlayStation 3 in 2012. It is part of the Crash Time series which began with Autobahn Pursuit (Alarm fur Cobra 11) which is based on the German TV series, Alarm fur Cobra 11 - Die Autobahnpolizei.
A criminal syndicate is attempting to take control over the city of Cologne, and most of the police are at a loss. But highway cops Semir and Ben are called into action to patrol the streets, participate in police operations, and take the syndicate down. The game includes multiplayer which allows up to eight players.
Crash Time 4: The Syndicate received generally lukewarm reviews, with an average score of 58% for its 'okay' graphics and eventual repetitiveness for some.
This 3-star rating is mainly due to the three online trophies, which are tough to obtain because they are challenging, and the fact that no one is playing this game online. However, if you have a boosting partner, this difficulty rating can easily be brought down to a low 2-stars.
The offline is relatively short compared with other racing games, and not too challenging - specifically to those familiar with these kinds of games. Expect to put in 20-25 hours for the offline trophies.
Multiplayer aside, there are two basic modes to collect trophies: Career and Single Races. Start up Career mode, and make your way through until eventually achieving 100% for the Vision Becomes Truth trophy. There are a number of story-related trophies you'll gather along the way, and a few you'll need to focus on - particularly the Hotshot trophy, in which you need to destroy 10 enemies BEFORE you jail all 75 syndicate members. Check the Crash Time 4 The Syndicate trophy guide links under our Links tab for further details on these Career mode related trophies.
Afterwards, there are some trophies to earn on the Single Races, such as completing a race on every track for Track Tester, winning 50 single races for Pro, and a few others. Again, check the trophy guides under our Links tab for further tips. By the time you complete Single Races, you should have all the offline trophies completed.
Last, are the three online trophies. Technically, the only one you need to worry about is Godmode, in which you need to win a deathmatch without dying. If you can get this trophy, the other two will automatically unlock. This one can be tough if you're playing legitimately, especially since there's hardly anyone online. A boosting partner will really make this easier. Check out the forums we've posted under the Links tab if you don't have any friends with this game.
