WWE Crush Hour - Strategy Guide (Page 02)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for WWE Crush Hour - Strategy Guide (Page 02).

Ironman
Objective: Get the most kills before time runs out.
Layout: The middle is a square area that has 4 giant square posts in the 
corners. Outside of the raised centre, there is a circular area that contains 
a couple of ramps, one of which leads to a pit of nuclear waste. The other 
ramp brings you to an elevated platform that just leads back to the outside 
area of the arena.
My strategies: - Avoid the ramps because if you fall in the waste you will
                 lose one point
               - Make sure to keep moving around the level.

Running The Gauntlet
Objective: Collect 10 Stars.
Layout: This arena is made up of 4 rooftops that have ramps going to each. 
The roof you start on includes some glass windows and a few weapons. The only 
spot for the star on this roof is straight ahead from where you start and to 
the left. If you go straight from the first roof & hit the ramp you will land 
on the second roof. 
This is probably the biggest of the four. On this roof there are quite a few 
weapons & quite a lot of room. There are two places for stars. The first one 
is just to the left of the ramp to go up to the first roof. The other spot is 
straight from the ramp coming off of the first roof. To get to the third 
roof, make a right turn & go up the ramp.
The third roof is just one large open area that contains many steel poles in 
various spots. The first of the two star positions is straight ahead of the 
ramp that comes up from the second roof. The other is in the far right corner 
if you are facing the forth roof. Just to the left of the star is the ramp to 
the final roof.
The forth roof is rather small but contains a few weapons. The first place 
that a star can appear is right below the ramp coming from the third roof. 
The other spot is diagonally to the far left corner.
My strategies: - Avoid dieing as much as possible.
               - If you end up falling too much, try staying on one roof &
                 waiting for the stars (I suggest Roof 2)
               - When possible, Ignore your opponents.

Battle Royal
Objective: Eliminate 11 opponents without dieing.
Layout: This arena is a subway station. The centre contains a subway track 
that has health & the ramming power on it. Be careful though, 2 trains go 
across the tracks frequently & will kill you instantly if they hit you. Each 
side of the track contains a wall with 3 openings. The 2 openings at each end 
are openings for tunnels behind the wall. The centre opening connects the 2 
tunnels & contains turbo & armor or double damage (depending on which side of 
the track you are on). The tunnels also contain health, VRF guns (one on each 
side) & the atomic drop or the grenade launcher.
My strategies: - Stay in the tunnels collecting weapons.
               - The VRF gun is very useful in this level.
               - Only fight when absolutely necessary.
               - If too many opponents come after you, go to the other side 
                 of the tracks.
               - When crossing the tracks, wait until you see the trains go 
                 by & then cross.

Cage Match
Objective: Get the contract & take it to the finish point 3 times.
Layout: This match takes place in a harbor. The main fighting area is a 
square section on top of a platform that is surrounded by a steel cage. In 
the cage, the only thing you can find is health. You can find one health 
along each wall of the cage. The object of the match is to defeat the other 
three opponents in the cage and get the contract that appears in the centre 
of the cage. Once you have the contract, the cage will be lifted up & you 
must take the contract to the glowing spot on one of the piers for a point. 
The catch is that once someone is defeated they have to wait outside of the 
cage & they can get the contract by blowing up the person that has it.
My strategies: - Keep your opponents away from the health
               - Remember that to get off the platform, you must use one of
                 the ramps because there is a ridge around the outside that 
                 will stop you from driving off the edge.
               - If you get eliminated from the cage, don't bother trying to
                 find weapons. Just wait outside the cage & go after the 
                 person that has the contract with your normal gun.
               - Don't use any turbos in the cage.
               - Ignore your special because it will reset after each scored 
                 point (but if you do get one, use it quickly).

Bottom Line
Objective: Defeat a certain number of opponents.
Layout: This match takes place on an oilrig located in the ocean. The section 
that you start on is just a flat space that contains turbo & health. If you 
go straight ahead from the start there is a building with 2 glass windows. 
These windows are breakable but are usually shot out by the computer players 
right away. In the building you will find a rather bland, open spot that 
contains some raised areas in the corners. You will also find an exit in each 
wall that will lead you to an outside platform. Be careful when using the 
exit furthest from the windows, because it contains a rectangular spot in the 
middle of the exit that will lead you into the water. Around the building is 
a platform that is probably only wide enough for 2 cars that will also lead 
to the water. If you go out the left exit of the building you will find a 
small bridge that goes out to a small circular platform, which is surrounded 
by water & contains a weapon. If you take a left turn (when coming from the 
building) you will find a larger helipad that contains a couple weapons like 
the grenade launcher.
My strategies: - Stay mainly in the building.
               - If you are good at staying on, go to the helipad because it 
                 is very useful to get weapons & to get opponents to come to 
                 you.
               - Avoid powersliding near the edges. 
               - The Ramming Power can be found just to the right of the 
                 building entrance (inside).

Royal Rumble
Objective: Outlast 11 other opponents by collecting crowns.
Layout: The royal rumble takes place in a two level construction site. You 
start on the bottom level. Go straight ahead to the end of the lower level & 
you will find the ramp to the upper level. If when going straight, you go to 
the left a little, you can get armor, which is hidden underneath something. 
All the upper level consists of is an oval track that goes around the inner 
section & contains many weapons. The way to win is to collect one of the two 
crowns & hold onto it for thirty seconds. Once the thirty seconds have 
expired, everyone without a crown will be eliminated.
My strategies: - Go to the left at the beginning when you get up the ramp 
                 instead of the right like it tells you. There will be 
                 another crown just to the left.
               - Avoid all confrontation when possible (use turbo to get 
                 away).

King Of The Ring
Objective: Defeat 11 opponents, one at a time.
Layout: The setting for the King of the Ring is a circular coliseum. The 
coliseum is separated into two parts by walls that surround the inner 
section. The inner section is a basic circular section that contains some 
pillars. Armor can be found in the middle of the inner section & other 
weapons can be found near the walls. The outer section is just a thin area 
between the walls & the crowd that contains all of the health. Also in the 
outer section, you can find little rooms that are in the outside wall. Each 
of these little rooms contain a powerful weapon.
My strategies: - Always refill your health bar between opponents (even if it 
                 is almost full).
               - If an opponent goes for health, follow them & shoot them 
                 from behind. This builds your special easily.
               - Save your special for the more powerful opponents.

Survivor Series
Objective: Score three points in a tag team elimination match.
Layout: The survivor series match takes place in a downtown area. The main 
area contains a couple of fountains & lots of health. There are also some 
side streets that contain various weapons. The tag zones are found near the 
centre of the level.
My strategies: - Tag often.
               - Try to get your opponents away from the tag zones.

Week 17 - Final Battle
My strategy: Go straight ahead & get the armor at the beginning. Once you 
have it do a U-turn and go around the outside of the centre until you find 
the ramming power. After you get the ramming power, line up Vince & turbo 
into him 2 or 3 times until he has lost one health meter. After that you may 
need to get some health. To drain Vince's second meter you have a few 
options:

1. Shoot him: This was the way that I beat this match. I shot him down to 
yellow while power sliding & chased him down when he went for health. As I 
chased him, he kept getting health & I kept shooting him down to low health. 
After a minute or so, I built up my special, used a turbo to catch up & shot 
him with my special for the win.

2. Use weapons: This one is simple. Get the powerful weapons & try to kill 
him that way.

3. Ram him: Get the ramming power again & use turbos to ram into him. If you 
have to, shoot him a few times at the end for the win.

Unlockable Modes

When I beat a Hardcore match in exhibition, I unlocked Demolition Derby mode 
(no guns) but I have not heard of anyone else being able to get it so I'm not 
sure just how it is unlocked. 

*****Update*****

I would like to thank JustinSane007 from the Gamefaqs message boards for 
correcting this: 

To unlock Demolition Derby mode you have to win a match in exhibition mode 
without using any weapons. I would suggest doing either a hardcore match or a 
lumberjack match to get this.
