Easy Achievements – Boost Your Gamerscore
Article By Matt. Filed under: Game Guides
I originally wrote this little “guide” for another website, but I thought it would be a good idea to share here also. Below is a list of xbox 360 games that have easy achievements.
Avatar: The Legend Of Aang – The Burning Earth
This is probably the easiest game to earn a full 1000 achievement points. I managed to do it within about 5 minutes (including time taken to put the game in the xbox 360 and load it up).
Peter Jackson’s King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie
The achievements in this game are fairly straightforward. You earn them simply by playing through the game. It’s hard to estimate the time taken as it was so long ago. I’d say it takes about 8 hours to get the full 1000. The game isn’t too hard and is quite enjoyable in certain parts.
TMNT: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
This game is a bit of a no-brainer. I earned the full 1000 achievements in under 4 hours. This game was also quite fun which made the task not as painful as some games can be when trying to max out your gamerscore.
Bionicle Heroes
Easy 1000 achievement points, although it may take some time to get the full 100%. The game can be quite fun for kids that like blowing stuff up and looking for hidden collectibles. I found it a bit boring though.
Open Season
As odd as it may sound I thoroughly enjoyed this game and was actually a little disappointed when I completed it. I wanted more! The game is fun and great for kids. The 1000 achievements are fairly easy although there are two levels that are a bit of a b*tch to get 100%.
Surf’s Up
Yet another kids film made into a kids game. This isn’t too bad though. The game is simple and enjoyable enough. To 100% it can be a bit of a challenge, but not too hard. You can easily get 950 achievement points if you are not patient enough to collect everything. To get the full 1000 will probably only take you a couple of days in total.
Viva Pinata
This game is a bit weird but quite addictive. If you have the patience it is fairly easy to get the full 1000 gamerscore. I used a guide to help me get some of the hidden achievements. I didn’t quite have the time to get all 1000, but I racked up about 920 points pretty easily.
Spider-Man: Friend or Foe
It is easy but enjoyable with a nice graphical style. You can get the full 1000 just by playing through the game, finding some collectibles, and upgrading your characters. Pretty straightforward, but might take you a few evenings to 100% each level.
Fight Night Round 3
This game is really easy to get 1000 achievements. A word of warning though, set the saving to manual so you can retry any fights you lose (i missed out on a chance to get 100 points because I lost an important fight and it auto-saved). Also turn on “illegal blows” to make the fights a lot easier to win.
Halo 3
Chances are you probably own this game already. Still, it belongs in here. It was really easy to get over 800 achievement points. I was a bit disappointed actually how easy it was to complete the game on legendary with a few friends online. To get the full 1000 relies a bit on chance and playing online continuously.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
I’m not a huge fan of Harry Potter. My girlfriend forced me to watch it! The game itself also isn’t too bad. It’s a fairly easy getting the full 1000, but I didn’t really have the patience to play through it again on a harder setting. Do it on easy to get 900, then try it on hard to get the last 100 if you have time. I will probably return to this game one day 100% it.
Bioshock
I’m not good at games, but I managed to get 780 achievement points just playing through this. Tip: save all the “little sisters” to get an extra 100 gamerscore when you complete the game. If you kill/sacrifice one you will be kicking yourself as you get nothing for being evil (gamerscore wise).
2006 FIFA World Cup
Rubbish game. You can get 500 achievement points in one afternoon’s play. The other 500 take some time to get. Personally, I don’t have the patience for it.
Crackdown
This game is great fun! The achievements are easy and fun to get. I haven’t got them all myself, but I plan to come back to this game later in the future. I got 650 points (before the expansion came out) without trying particularly hard.
Viva Pinata – Party Animals
A fairly average party game but incredibly easy to get achievement points. So far I’ve only played it twice and got almost 400 achievement points. Have a few friends over to help make the time pass by a little quicker.

April 2nd, 2010 at 11:46 pmOh, wow. Avatar is easiest. But NBA 2k6 is a very close second, and King Kong doesn't COMPETE.
Manipulate the sliders and you can get all approximately 6-7 of 2k6's achievements in one game. Stuff like a triple-double, 15 threes with a team, 140 points with a team. Simple.

August 5th, 2010 at 8:22 pmCod4 is ridiculously easy to do as it’s just the veteran missions, however the mile high club is extremely difficult if your not a natural shooting game expert. Took me a few tries but it’s also a really fun game so you know, above average

September 18th, 2010 at 9:47 pmok, oblivion the elder scrolls IV is a special case. the achievments are not hard at all if u put the difficulty bar the whole way to the left. the achievments are bassically for ex. doing all the fighters guild quests doing all the arena quests… etc. and after u finish all the guild quests and then u do the storyline and the storyline achievments will unlock as you do the storyline. like i said.. very very easy but requires alot of running so sorta time consuming.. but the game is massivly awsome so sometimes ull just forget about the achievments at times. so this is the perfect achievement game..easy- mid difficulty, 25 hours for em all. and the achievments are very strait forward.

February 3rd, 2011 at 10:57 pmA lot of the Madden NFL cames are really easy to get 1000g on also..
I managed to get 1000 on Madden (2008 I think?) in an afternoon.

March 7th, 2011 at 8:29 pmWhile Crackdown has a ton of easy achievements there are also a ton of time consuming and difficult ones. I don’t know if I’d put it on this list. I think WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2010 was the easiest I’ve played and the first I got a full 1000 points. The only other ones I’ve got 100% on were Just Cause 2, Fallout 3, and New Vegas, but they took a lot of time and a little web assistance.

March 24th, 2011 at 2:06 pmNothing will ever top Avatar TLA:TBE but second place definately goes to Terminator Salvation. You’ll get all of the achievements on hard in less than one day.

July 18th, 2011 at 1:48 pmI would suggest either BLAZING ANGELS for a quick 1000. Call of Duty 2 is another on for an easy 1000 with the added plus of it being a fun game. I mean you get a nice amount for each mission you finish. Madden 06 is another, while I don’t have the full 1000 I have 600. You get the last 400 in one shot for finishing a 30year season. Which is why I don’t have that one. Another, NHL 2K6 is very kind with its points. In one game I got all but 1 of the 5 achievements. Which is an easy 750. Just for playing the game you get them. Well there are a few if you are looking for quick and easy points.

September 6th, 2011 at 10:18 pmGreen lantern was extreamly easy. Easier if you do it co-op. Disneys up was a very easy game nothing too it tbh. Need for speed most wanted you get every achievement just for completing the game. Super hero squad tig ie easy 1500 nothing to that and eragon is very easy to 1000 as well hope this helps y’all
