Achievements with Xbox 360

Achievements are game-defined goals that are stored and displayed in your gamer profile. Achievements can be as simple, complex, or off-the-wall as a game wants.

Your achievements include all of your awards, medals, and high scores (which are also presented in condensed form as part of your gamer card).

To view your achievements:

1. Sign in on your console.
2. Select your gamer card from the Xbox Dashboard or Xbox Guide.
3. Select View Games. A list of your played games and a summary of unlocked achievements appears.
4. To view achievements for a particular game, select the game.
   • Select an achievement to view the details for that achievement.
   • Some achievements are hidden. You are not able to view the details of those achievements until you unlock them.
   • Achievements are sorted by date. To sort by gamerscore, select Change Sort Order (Y). Select it again to go back to sorting by date. The achievements you unlock will always appear at the top of the list regardless of sort order.

Achievements are a feature of every Xbox 360 game you play, giving you something to crow about while showing other Xbox Live gamers the titles you excel at and comparing your achievements to other gamers who play the same titles you do.

To view another gamer's achievements:
