How to unlock the LEADER OF THE TRACK achievement in Cars 2: The Video Game - Definitive Guide
5 out of 6 are fairly straight forward but the London level is the one most likely to cause problems.
The key to victory on this one is wave 5.
At the side of the arena are two balconies. Grab some missiles (at the side of the balconies) at wait for the helicopter on the top of the balcony. When it arrives, jump and hit it with a missile and then move to the opposite balcony. Repeat for a total of 3 missiles and the helicopter will go down.
This will net you around 500 points so as long as you have scored 100+ on the first five waves you should get gold.
It helps using weapons too but i got a score of 925 (only 600 was needed) in London Arena mostly by bashing enemy cars, in my first attempt! Hope this helps.
at first some of the missions seem impossible, they are actually pretty simple once you know what to do.
on the main screen you can go to options and then codes, enter 123456, you unlock the guided laser, you start the hunter missions then with a guided laser, i believe that on all maps there is a cube that gives you another laser that keeps respawning....
anyway start with the laser and get a kill or 2 to start the game, then on about every level you can camp the cars spawn and get easy kills there, then just drive around picking up machine gun or lasers or rockets and chase somebody down and shoot them, pretty simple once you pick it up, i got the achievement about 8 hours into playing the game, 45minutes after trying for the achievement.
just stick with it and you can get it, pick up as many cubes and shoot at the cars quickly and you'll have it in no time.
Hunter Missions consist of 5 waves and you can die as much as you want (although that will cost you the few seconds it takes to respawn). The goal here is to reach the target score by destroying enough enemies to obtain GOLD. The waves only last between 1-2 minutes. The secret to getting high enough score is getting combo kills. This will net you a multiplier and allow you to obtain Gold medals easier.
The basic combo is to find a group of 3 or 4 green cars and destroy them all at once. Another combo is to chain kills together. Speed is important here. After killing a car, you have just a few seconds to kill another one to continue the chain. You will know if you were fast enough because it will pop up an on-screen message. You can keep chaining kills for as long as possible. The final thing to consider is the type of enemy you kill is worth different amount of points. The purple, red and yellow cars are worth more than the green cars so stringing them into combos will add a lot of points to your score fast! And one last note, during the last minute or so of wave 5, Professor Z's helicopter will appear low enough for you to target and attack it. It has it's own symbol that is different from the rest so it it pretty easy to spot. Missiles or the Satellite Quake work well. Hitting the helicopter will add major points to your score.
There are a total of 6 C.H.R.O.M.E. Hunter missions and you can even replay them immediately if you don't get gold on your first try or you can come back to them via level select later. Here is a list of the levels and the number of points you need to reach gold:
