um, I have heard that you could get the achievement by going under the algonquin-broker subway underpass and stay there for the 5 minutes required. Thing is, I have already discovered Algonquin. Is this a problem for me?

If so, could u guys give me tips on how to get it?

Thanks,

A GTA 4 fan (duh)

The easiest and most used way is using a helicopter. the only requirement is having the thrid island LOCKED. just call brucie up, and select the option "chopper ride" and voila. just go to the third city, get 6 stars in the air and remain hovering. you can let go of the controller, you wont descend.

We paid for the game. We can do whatever we want with it.

I think that this achievement is the easiest in the game (apart from Off the boat :P )

If you just want the achievement all you have to do is get onto the subway tracks (you can get on them in the north of broker near stienway beer garden i think) Then drive over to the next island, when it goes to 6 stars you just stop the car and wait :P


The other method is to drive into one of the police blockades on the bridges then drive to the airport and keep driving up and down the runways,


Got all this stuff from youtube, there's plenty of achievement guides on there :)

I didn't even know about it but me and my bro were trying to get to the statue of liberty (its still locked) and he got halfway on a boat. Then he got on the edge of the water and ran along the edge with helicopters shooting at him until he got it. I guess he got lucky.

I agree why try all these tricks and what not to get it? do it the right way. You'll feel better about yourself =)

I didnt find it very hard to be honest.

five minutes with six stars? sounds hard to me. i agree though that doing the right way is far more satisfying than just the gamer points. what ever happened to havin gfun with games? thats what they are for.

something that is more fun, but a little harder is when ***SPOLIERS*** roman buys a penthouse in algonquin in the foyer there is a wall that can be used as great cover, simply get a star, wait till they come through the doors and open fire, youll get 6 stars in no time, and itll be hard but extremely fun to survive 5 minutes***END SPOILER***

Yeah I just got the achievement last night inadvertently when I was flying in a helicopter and flew over the 3rd island. I was just trying to do the bridge achievement.

The easiest way was to get a boat and go near an island that isnt 'discovered' yet, and that gives you instant six star rating, then (using the rubber dingy on happiness island) just ride around the island for 5 minutes, the cops and helicopters can't keep up with the dingy and you will ahve it in 5 minutes. I didn't even get shot once.

I tried the Algonquin bridge trick - wasn't working for me very well - so I went under it then rather than hanging out onthe steps, I jumped up and ran down the subway tunnel - that worked fine no problem.

Do you have to do the races from Brucie to advance in the game at all? The races are kind of annoying to me - IMO

On foot, actually yes. If you can get out of sight from the choppers and cars, you can crouch down under a bridge or in some dark alley. They won't find you.

This worked for me too^^^^^! And YES I would have gotten it legit if I wanted too. I just don't care enough about the game to spend FOREVER playing it! I finished it. I may go back and play some of the side missions (i.e. races, etc.), but after I finished the story, I put it on the shelf with the other games that I may go back and play ONE DAY. MP is nothing spectacular to me...JMO.

Do what I did... You need playboy x's safehouse unlocked for it though..

Get a 3 star rating outside of the safehouse

then go to the reception desk and get behind that

when cops come in the door keep shooting them until you have a 6 star rating

then go to the apartment where theycant get you and wait there for 5 minutes...

Easy enough

I got this by accident. When I unlocked the second island I went exploring and found the helitours place. I stole a helicopter and started to fly under all the bridges. I flew over the 3rd island and instantly got a 6 star rating, but because all the police are on the ground they cant do anything. So I flew around and under a few more bridges, 5 minutes passed and up popped the achievement.

I got a nice reception party when I landed, but you only have to survive 5 minutes at 6 stars, no escape from 6 stars, so its really fairly easy.

If you want a chopper with a bit more kick, steal the Annihilator, that way you get mini-guns on your chopper :D

Go to the Statue of "Happiness" while it's locked, you'll get six stars. There are two maybe three police officers there and that's it. Stay inside to avoid the choppers, because the police can't get to you. (The boats don't come unless you get in the water.

It was easy for me, i went to the Cluckin Bell in what looks to be time square in real life, don't know the name in the game. Where the entrance is i pinned myself against the wall so i'm only looking at the entrance, one way in one way out. I killed everyone inside the cluckin bell then got a two star rating, went to the wall and shot a few approaching police officers, then the star level kept rising and eventually got to six. I had full ammunition for everything and found it very fun, shooting an RPG while in cover at SWAT trucks is awesome. I got this achievement after i beat the game so i didn't do the chopper or boat island trespass. There were so many officers outside the doors when i finally got the achievement that i didn't even try to escape, i just dropped a grenade right next to me and killed myself.

This is how I did it...

Go to your safehouse in BOHAN. Make sure you went to the weapons spot for armor and ALOT of pistol/smg bullets. Walk outside, kill alot of cops, but make sure you didn't get hit (3 STARS)... RUN back to your SAFEHOUSE... don't go up the stairs to your room, turn around and hug the wall and Kill all the cops that enter the house by BLIND-FIRING your pistol or SMG. Do this for about 3 mins to get 6 stars... then hold them off for an additional 5 mins for your achievement.

Go to helitours, steal a helicopter, and fly to the top of alderney. If you havent unlocked aldreney you'll get a 6 star wanted level. just keep holding down the right trigger so you stay at the top of the map and they'll NEVER reach you. The hardest part about it is holding down the right trigger for 5 minutes

Go to the hospital in Broker (the onw where GRavelli gives missions from), shoot everone there, then cops act stupid and CONTINUOUSLY come to the entrance, just keep blastin until 6 stars. After a while, nobody comes in anymore because the lag from all the dead bodies lol. JUst chill behind cover in the main waiting room and your good.

This is what I did. I thought I was out running them, but it might be a glitch in the map as well.

The easiest way without cheating is staying in the hospital while covering behind walls and chairs, once a cop enters you can blast them away(you have a clear view of them entering) there is also a health pack inside the hospital that respawns evertime you go to another room. Hospital all the way, the other methods are hard to do.

It is easy though. Simply go on the balcony of Playboy X's house. Work up to 6 stars, then go inside and hide behind the counter, go do something else. Then Save!
