How to unlock the Over Our Heads achievement in Crackdown - Definitive Guide
This achievement is for beating the 12 rooftop races from the original game. Any races added by the DLC do not count towards this achievement.
Some, although not all, roof top races require a 4-star agility rating, and you need at least a 3-star agility rating to get to the top of the Agency Tower. So it might be best to wait to do the roof top races when you have a 4-star agility rating. It also might be good to wait till you have successfully cleansed an area before attempting a roof top race, just so you don’t have pesky bad buys shooting at you while you're running, although its more annoying when you are trying to do the road races, but that is your choice.
I have sorted the races by which area they can be found in. The Numbers Correspond to the order they are listed in the achievements menu in Crackdown.
**Los Muertos**
1. Los Muertos Rooftops
Location: Los Muertos, southern island.
From Nearest Supply Point: North from the Hillside Housing supply point.
2. Rooftop Acrobatics
Location: Los Muertos, southern island.
From Nearest Supply Point: South from the Royal Vista supply point, basically across the street.
3. Around the Wheel
Location: Los Muertos, southern island.
From Nearest Supply Point: Just head south from the Social Security supply point, towards the ferris wheel
4. La Mugre Skyline
Location: Los Muertos, southern island.
From Nearest Supply Point: Just north from the Social Security supply point.
8. Goin' Home
Location: Los Muertos, southern island.
From Nearest Supply Point: It's basically next to the Los Muertos Rooftop race. So head north from the Hillside Housing supply point.
--This race may take you a few tries. Don’t get Discouraged!! Also, make sure you jump in one of the two Los Muertos Vehicles that are located as you come to the first road checkpoint, as the next part of the race requires you to travel back to the keep and you can use a vehicle to save time and drive through the checkpoints. Just be careful, even though you have over 11 minutes to complete the race, once you get to the keep area you will have significantly less time in between checkpoints to reach the next one. The race timeout counter started on me at a couple different locations, but I still made it to each checkpoint in time.
I have also included the YouTube Video of Goin’ Home, same one as Beanpotter posted, by CandiedSkull, since it is thought to be the hardest one. However, it is a lot easier once you know where all the check points are.
**The Agency**
5. Top of the World
Location: The Agency.
From Nearest Supply Point: Climb out of the Agency Garage and head east.
6. Watch Your Step
Location: The Agency.
From Nearest Supply Point: Same courtyard as Top of The World. Head east out of the Agency Garage.
7. Leap of Faith
Location: The Agency.
From Nearest Supply Point: Climb out of the Agency Garage, and head to the southwestern area.
**Volk District “The Den”**
9. The Wolf's Teeth
Location: Volk, southern island
From Nearest Supply Point: Head northeast from the Retreat. It should be near the eastern bridge of the two bridges in front of you.
11. Ascending the Cells
Location: Volk, southern island
From Nearest Supply Point: Head south from Maxim's Arch.
12. High Volk-age
Location: Volk, southern island
From Nearest Supply Point: This race is south of the Retreat supply point. It's by the giant statue of the Volk's logo…The Hand Holding the Giant Red Cog, West of the Large Ship where Boris Mikhailov was.
**Shai-Gen Corporation District - "The Corridor"**
10. Wings Are for Suckers
Location: Shai-Gen, northern island
From Nearest Supply Point: Head northeast from the Comfortitude, LTD. supply point.

3-Star is NOT necessary to reach the top of the Agency building (though it takes some significant creativity and a lot of patience to make it up there with only 2).
But I definitely accomplished it with only a 2-Star rating.

I clearly remember gaining this, but when I check what achievements I got and didn't, on my page, it said I don't have it.
Maybe I need to check again... and don't give me examples, cus I have an idea which it might be.

Complete all of the original 12 Rooftop Races within the target time. More have been made available with the DLC, but you only need to do the ones on the list accessible by going to the Pause Menu and selecting 'Agency Info', 'Achievements', and scrolling almost all the way down.
The 'Goin' Home' Race may give you trouble, but remember that you can use a car for this race or any other. One will be provided for you just before Checkpoint 10, and you can use it to go all the way to the Agency Tower.
