Where The Wild Things Are

Where The Wild Things Are is based on the 2009 film of the same name, which in turn is based on Maurice Sendak's 1963 children's book. The game is a platformer where players control the young boy Max as he battles enemies with a scepter and explores the island. The game also incorporates racing and boating stages.

Max is a young boy who arrives on an island and makes friends with monsters known as the Wild Things. After a series of events, Max must save the Wild Things from the shadow creatures who are emerging from a black gunk, as well as work out the issue of the moon falling from the sky.

Where The Wild Things Are received mixed reviews, with an average score of 61%, praised for its musical score and voice acting, but criticized for its short length and lack of depth.

As you might expect for a game geared towards children, the Platinum is not very difficult, nor particularly time-consuming. You will need to clear the game on Hard mode, which isn't very tough, and find all the necessary collectibles. A chapter select is available for mopping up.

Overall, the Platinum can be had in 8 or 9 hours.

You'll need to clear the game on Hard mode in order to unlock the King trophy, which is available from the start. So, in order to save some time, we recommend simply playing through on Hard.

Aside from the story-related trophies you'll be unlocking automatically, the majority of the trophies related to finding the collectibles. If you're hoping to get the Platinum in one playthrough, we recommend following one of the collectible guides under our Links tab.

Other trophies include defeating a set number of creatures during the game, which you'll unlock naturally during your progress. And finally, there are a few miscellaneous trophies. Check these out in the Where The Wild Things Are trophy guide links under our Links tab for more details.

Once you've completed your playthrough, you can use the Chapter Select to mop-up anything you may still be missing.

Marvel Super Hero Squad The Infinity Gauntlet

Editorial Team

Marvel Super Hero Squad The Infinity Gauntlet Trophy Guide. Difficulty: *  An action platformer featuring 31 Marvel characters battling Thanos who possesses the Infinity Gauntlet, using the uDraw tablet as a controller. More challenging than Comic Combat, but still an easy Platinum.

Marvel Super Hero Squad: The Infinity Gauntlet

Marvel Super Hero Squad: The Infinity Gauntlet is an action platformer and part of the Marvel Super Hero Squad franchise. The game uses cartoonish versions of the Marvel super heroes, featuring 31 characters in total, and includes a Challenge Mode which allows up to 4 players.

Inspired by The Infinity Gauntlet comic mini-series, the Super Heroes learn that Thanos is in pursuit of the Infinity Stones: six powerful gems which, when combined, give the possessor unlimited, God-like power. The Super Heroes must find the Infinity Stones before Thanos.

Marvel Super Hero Squad: The Infinity Gauntlet received lukewarm reviews, with an average score of 68%, praised for being a fun co-op family game, but lacking in any particular exceptional areas.

This is a high 1-star rating, and is certainly more challenging than Comic Combat using the uDraw. The campaign itself isn't particularly long nor difficult, with collectibles to find and a Free Play afterwards for mopping-up. However, the Challenge Mode can sometimes be very frustrating, particularly if you're playing alone and not with a friend.

Overall, the Platinum should take between 10-15 hours, depending on whether you're doing it solo or co-op.

At some point, you will need to play through on Challenging mode, which is the hardest difficulty. If you're in a rush for that platinum, we recommend going ahead and doing so from the start. It's not that difficult. Otherwise, just play from beginning to end, and enjoy the game. There are collectibles to find in the form of stone fragments. However, you won't be able to access all of them during your first playthrough, so it's up to you if you wish to bother with some of them now, or not.

After that, you can select the Free Play mode. Here, you can go back to any previous Episodes and mop-up whatever trophies you're missing. This of course, will include finding the remaining collectibles, now that they are accessible with the unlocked super heroes.

Last, is completing the Challenge Mode. This is the frustrating aspect of the game, particularly if you're playing solo. Having more than one player, however, will certainly make things easier.

Marvel Super Hero Squad Comic Combat Trophy Guide

Marvel Super Hero Squad: Comic Combat

Marvel Super Hero Squad: Comic Combat is an action title, and the third in the Marvel Super Hero Squad franchise. The game makes use of the uDraw tablet, in which players attack, use weapons, and barricades by drawing the stylus pen over the pad.

Players select from 10 Marvel characters, including Thor, Iron Man, Hulk, and Wolverine, solving puzzles and battling enemies, before facing off against such super villains as Doctor Doom, MODOK, Abomination, and Red Skull.

Marvel Super Hero Squad: Comic Combat received lukewarm reviews, with an average score of 57%, praised for its creativeness and overall fun, but criticized for its shortness.

Once you get used to the uDraw as a controller, the game is relatively easy, and quite short to complete. Just a single playthrough, then use the chapter select to mop-up anything you're missing. The Platinum can be earned in around 5 hours.

NOTE: The uDraw tablet is required for this game.

First, all you need to do is play the game from beginning to end. If you wish to make your mop-up easier, keep an eye out for the Comic Stacks. There is one in each panel, starting with Issue 2. Finding all of them will unlock the Summer Reading trophy. However, if you miss any, you can always use the chapter select. For the most part, just get used to using the uDraw and complete the game.

After that, you can mop-up anything you're missing through the chapter select. Check out the Marvel Super Hero Squad Comic Combat trophy guide links under our Links tab for specifics on what you still need to unlock.

Kung Fu Panda 2 Trophy Guide

Kung Fu Panda 2

Kung Fu Panda 2 is a third-person action platformer, based loosely on the DreamWorks animated film of the same name. The game was released in 2011 to coincide with the movie, yet does not host any of the same voice talents.

Taking place immediately following the events of the film, the villagers of the Valley of Peace are in celebration after the defeat of Lord Shen. However, Lord Shen's minions suddenly begin attacking the village, in a distraction for Po and the Furious Five, while two Komodo dragons attempt to take over Gongmen city.

Kung Fu Panda 2 received very mixed reviews, with an average score of 47%. While considered overall fun for children, it was criticized for poor graphics, game design, and an having the appearance of being rushed.

As you would expect from a game based on a children's animated film, this platinum is quick and painless. Over half of the trophies are story-related, while the others are either combat-related, or for finding all the collectibles.

As long as you follow one of the collectible guides under our Links tab, and unlock the combat-related trophies as soon as possible, you should have a new Platinum in about 5 hours.

There is no trophy for playing on any difficult modes, so just start up the game and begin. Your goal is to get all the trophies in one playthrough, as mopping-up can be time consuming in this case.

At the start, before selecting which Master to join with, start smashing the breakable items in the Training Hall. While it doesn't necessarily matter in which order you choose a master to follow, we found the quickest route was to start first with Croc, then Shifu, then Ox.

As you play through each of the three Master's levels, make sure you find every collectible available. There are a lot, and to avoid mistakes, we recommend following one of the walkthroughs or collectible guides under our Links tab.

Also, take note of the combat-related trophies, and try to unlock these as earliest as possible.

Once you defeat the final boss and clear the game, you will be able to continue in free roam. This will give you a chance to find any collectibles you missed. However, we found that sometimes the enemies respawned, and sometimes they didn't. In which case, if you missed some of the combat-related trophies, you may need to start a new game.

Otherwise, if all goes well, you should have a shiny new Platinum in just a few hours.

How To Train Your Dragon Trophy Guide

How To Train Your Dragon Trophy Guide. Difficulty: *  A third-person action adventure based on the animated film of the same name. With the exception of a few tricky challenges, the road to the Platinum is short and relatively easy.

How To Train Your Dragon

How To Train Your Dragon is a third-person action-adventure, based on the animated film by DreamWorks of the same name. Aside from the main storyline, the game also includes two-player arcade battle, and online features.

Taking place a year after the events of the film, the Tribe has created Thor'sday Thursday, a festival in which the Vikings hold a dragon tournament. Players control either Hiccup or Astrid, the main characters from the film, and spend their time training dragons before entering the tournament.

How To Train Your Dragon received very mixed reviews, with an average score of 53%, with some critics praising the overall fun factor, while others mentioned it was too difficult for younger players but not satisfying enough for the older.

This is a high 1-star rating, as the game is not a simple cakewalk compared to MegaMind or Hannah Montana, yet it's still vastly easier and less time consuming than the Uncharted or Assassin's Creed series. Two playthroughs are needed, though each will only take 2-4 hours. Most of the time consumption comes in afterwards, when you need to perform all the challenges and training.

A trophy requires you to play the game for 20 hours, in which you can simply set your character in a safe area and leave your PS3 on until the trophy unlocks.

Overall, the majority of the trophies can be earned in around 15 hours, plus an additional 5 hours of leaving your system on.

First, you'll want to play through the story as Hiccup and try to get all the related trophies. Luckily, this game doesn't have any annoying collectibles to find. There are missable trophies related to the Tournaments, so check out the How To Train Your Dragon trophy guide links under our Links tab for details on each one. Make sure to always save before entering the tournament, in case you miss it. There are a few other miscellaneous trophies to watch out for, as well.

Next, you'll want to gun for the Conqueror trophy, in which you'll be spending your time in Arcade mode. Up to this point, we're still playing on the same Save file, thereby adding in the hours required for the Viking Inhabitant trophy.

Next, if you like, you can unlock the Viking Inhabitant trophy if you haven't already done so. Make sure you're still on the same Save file, and have your character stand somewhere safe, such as in the village. Now, just leave your system on and either go to bed, play your Vita, or read a book. Once the 20 hours are up, you will unlock the trophy.

Your final trophy will probably be Glory To Astrid, in which you simply have to replay the game with the Astrid character. If you missed any of the tournament or other miscellaneous trophies, now's your chance to nab them. Also, if you chose to play the game with Astrid BEFORE getting the Viking Inhabitant trophy, make sure you start her play on a separate Save file.
