Notes

• The completion of a Challenge will bring up a notice in the top of the screen. In the case of "Orbit Achieved" this can potentially result in all of the levels of this Challenge being displayed as each level completes in sequence.
• Challenges differ from Achievements in that they reward Experience Points rather than Gamerscore or Trophies.
• A grand total of 758,500 Experience Points can be gained by completing all of the challenges.
• Some Challenges are impossible to complete without entering and reentering mission areas many times, and some of them can be very time consuming.
• Challenges do not give money as a reward.

Trivia

• The action skill challenge "Your Kung Fu is Best" is a line taken from the television series The X-Files. The phrase itself is a play on "my kung fu is best".
• The enemy kill challenge "I am become Death..." references those same words spoken by J. Robert Oppenheimer, the "father of the atomic bomb", when interviewed about his feelings on the weapon he had designed.
• The shots fired challenge "Who made that man a gunner?" is a reference to Mel Brooks' spoof of Star Wars, SpaceBalls.
• The fire kill challenge "Hot! Too Hot!" is a reference to Spaceballs when Dark Helmet tries to gulp his coffee.
