I'll be honest as someone who gets severe motion sickness you legit made this unplayable for me this is absolutely pure hell for me.

If you have motion sickness like I do this is how i managed to get it.
-Take rests if you feel the spins {I had every try}
-Make sure you have the map and shortcuts down to a T [Imagine playing it blindfolded]
-Make your self level and centered with your screen
-Stare right above the car and don't look around hold that position

I finally got it after the 3rd try, but out of everything I have every done in gaming this achievement whopped my ass, it felt like I just got off of a roller coaster.

[The achievement itself was a great idea, just pure nightmare fuel for people who get motion sickness]

I'm very salty about this one right now, because I finally made it after numerous attempts and hit the gas on the final jump in pre-emptive celebration, which made me go too fast and bonk a wall, dropping the waste (I didn't even realize that was a possibility). Very annoying how many things can go wrong in this mission.

My own mistakes aside, I think this one isn't a good idea. The entire effect is nauseating, and I think some people will just find it too sickening. Not to mention it's also on what I would consider a difficult mission, and it's just plain old hard to see which isn't fun at all.

Left this one for last and got it first try. It becomes really easy if you learn your jumps and skips before enabling the cheat. This one should be obvious but its the only ''real'' tip i have to offer:
Drive on the right side of the road to avoid head-on collisions because they usually spin your car around 180° and can cause you to drop the nuclear waste

lets goo! Only few tries, but men. This and marge are for sure hardest. Atleast so far

The best advice for this one is to remember that the minute timer is a minute to get to the Simpson house, not to the spaceship. Remembering that helped calm my nerves and you don't have to do a perfect run and you can slow down a little.

As for the camera effect, the best advice is to memorize the road. The biggest issue with the effect is that it makes the witch cars impossible to see sometimes, and I've had one of them cost me a run because I literally could not see them.

Anyone else feels like this game in general does very often unfairly reset the players car into the wrong direction? >:(
However, i liked most archievements for this game, but this one is one of the four or five mean and trolling ones.

This achievement must really suck for anybody who suffers from motion sickness or just enjoys looking at their screen in general. It kinda feels on par with a forced stealth mission in a non stealth game or a platformer doing a darkness level. Took me about 5 attempts to knock out. Extremely unfun.

For anyone who doesn't know how to enable drunk driving mode here's a guide I found on IGN: "On the main menu (the Simpson's living room), go to the options screen and hold L1 + R1. Enter TRIANGLE, CIRCLE, TRIANGLE, CIRCLE for the cheat."

I can't tell you how many runs I lost to accelerating too fast and hitting the baseball diamond wall. The race itself is easy using all the shortcuts possible, memorize those first absolutely. You will almost certainly get Hit n Run because of how happy the PS2 version is to spawn traffic and pedestrians, just let the cops bust you if it's convenient. Better no meter than dodging cops you will have a horrible time tracking. Finally, don't worry about getting away from the Alien Car, if you just head toward the school, it will almost always crash somewhere on the way.

Finally, once you get to the school, you will have so much time. Take the left side jump into the playground incredibly delicately. Getting to the end and losing it to being unable to brake on landing is a feeling I've experienced 3 separate times. Otherwise, my thought's go out to everyone with visual motion sickness or other afflictions. Achievements should be fun, not taking a piece of you just for the sake of 10 points on a Simpson's game.

Using the vehicle respawn button (select) to help remedy any reckless driving helped me out a little bit. With Hit & Run I intentionally max out the meter at the powerplant & get caught so police are less of a concern during the return trip. It isn't a full mission playthrough but here's a recording I threw up on YT to show some friends the achievement & drunk-driving-ness. I hope this helps people out a little & I hope I wasn't too harsh in my previous comment. https://youtu.be/mI-lSVwCdNA

While it sounds funny on paper, I honestly think this achievement is more of a nuisance than anything, my condolences to all the folks suffering from motion sickness

MrAlexFish 19 Jan 2025 00:43

using select to reset the car when u are jumping or driving to fast will save u

KamiTheFoxy 24 Jan 2025 05:20

This is physically painful and made me sick. Never again

KanameMadoka 19 Feb 2025 14:44

The hardest acheavment so far. The shaking screen it's really agonizing, and some veicles are so small that you can barely see it.

RhysRaptor 20 Feb 2025 23:36

Worst achievement in the set. Kicking Marge is annoying but at least it doesn't actively give me a headache.

MrDoopliss 21 Feb 2025 04:51

I actually did this on my first try and for some weird reason I had more problem with Alien AutoTopsy Part II. My recomendation is to just take it slow, and if you're about to hit anything that can make the nuclear waste destroyed, hit select before the crash happens so the game respawns you near. Also be aware that this only messes up with your visuals but doesn't change any controls.

DanielHallSR 22 Feb 2025 00:27

Got it on the second try, lost the race on the first lmao. Same deal with doing this regularly: Let your H&R meter decrease by the waste if you need to, don't be afraid to tap X during turns and try and shy away from oncoming traffic in the wrong lane. You pretty much only need to make it to the Simpson house for a timer boost, and the rest is free if you take your time to be careful. Avoid full acceleration like the plague, as you can take some hits by keeping under it.

As a reminder, to enable the cheat go to the options menu from the starting screen (simpsons living room), hold down L1 + R1, and then input Triangle Circle Triangle Circle, you will hear a little beep telling you it's been input.

I fully expecting this to be the hardest achievment. I think I got lucky as I got it first or second try, I think I had very cooperative traffic. That said if you are at all easily made motion sick this will be a rough one.

this was awful
