Just Dance 3

Just Dance 3 is a rhythm dance game which uses the PlayStation Move controller and Eye Toy, and is part of the Just Dance series which began on the Nintendo Wii.

Up to four players imitate the on-screen dance moves, in which they're judged on their ability to follow the routines. The game includes over 40 song titles for both solo and duet plays, as well as a Non-Stop Shuffle, Speed Shuffle, and Just Sweat Mode.

Just Dance 3 on the PlayStation 3 received mostly positive reviews, with an average score of 74%, praised for its presentation and various game modes, but criticized for some game mechanics, such as the motion detection and scoring system.

For the most part, trying to earn five stars on all songs for the Constellation Maker trophy is what brings this difficulty rating up to 3-stars. It's not just a question of being an awesome dancer, but having the perfect lighting and some luck with the Eye Toy picking up your movements, as people can have problems with the motion detection.

NOTE: You will need a minimum of 2 Move controllers, as well as two players, for this Platinum.

This isn't really a game which requires a road-map. But if you really need some sort of direction, we recommend working on the Just Sweat mode to rack up those points and work towards the Sweat Me A River trophy. Make sure to set up a 7 Day Workout Session in order to keep track of your Sweat Points. As you work towards earning 30,000 points, you'll be unlocking other trophies as well.

Once that's finished, you can start working on the Constellation Maker trophy, which requires getting 5 stars on every choreography in the Songs tab. This is probably the most difficult trophy in the game, and you may have to mess around with the lighting in your room if the motion detection isn't in your favor. Also, try wearing an outfit that's a different color from whatever's behind you, so the camera can better track you.

If you managed that, then congratulations! The rest is simply mopping-up whatever trophies you're still missing. For the Big Band Theory trophy, it's possible to unlock this with only 2 move controllers, if each player dances two parts, such as to I Was Made For Loving You Baby by KISS.

Driver San Francisco Trophy Guide

Driver San Francisco Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ***  An action racing game and the fifth title in the Driver series. The Platinum is quite time consuming, with online trophies that can be tough to unlock without boosting.

Driver: San Francisco

Driver: San Francisco is an action racing game, and the fifth title in the Driver series, which began on the PlayStation One. Players play through a series of story-related events in an open world, selecting from 125 different vehicles. Split screen and online multiplayer modes are also included.

During a prison transfer, criminal mastermind Jericho has broken free, putting undercover cop John Tanner into a coma in the process. While lying in bed, Tanner has the ability to possess the citizens of San Francisco, called Shifting, and using them to track down and capture his nemesis.

Driver: San Francisco received positive reviews, with an average score of 80% praised for its innovative Shift mechanic, as well as its multiplayer feature. The storyline was criticized for being both ridiculous, and a departure from the Driver series.

The offline trophies aren't too bad, only time consuming. But the online trophies, without boosting, is what brings this difficulty score to a 3-star. With three boosting partners, it's possible to bring this rating down to a high 2-star, but even then connecting - and staying connected - is a challenge, on top of what's required for the trophies.

With a boosting partner, realistically it could take about 50 hours to Platinum. Without, this Platinum is far more time consuming, as well as frustrating.

Since the game is open-world, there isn't much need for a roadmap. Simply play through the story, unlocking all the story-related trophies, while purchasing all the vehicles, upgrades and garages along the way.

Once that's finished, you can complete all the activities and dares, as well as any other miscellaneous trophies you're still missing, such as collecting all the clapperboards and completing 30 freedrive cop chases.

After all that, you have the 15 online trophies to worry about, and this is where the time consumption comes in. You will need to reach Level 38 in order to unlock all three level-related trophies. This will take up the most time, but there are a number of other trophies to acquire along the way. Boosting will certainly make this much easier, but we've had trouble both connecting and staying connected with our peers. Also, take note there is no invite feature, so your boosting friends will need to find one another.
