guess i'll start things off
814,390 whats the star mean by the score/life? |
814k? Oh God... (No idea about the star either, I was wondering that)
I could only muster this "effort"... http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/7...ivscoretg9.jpg 67,380 |

its so hard to see on the ice level and the last level. Then, as im on the last boss i just decide to run into a missle. |
I thought you said you'd never played this game before. I don't believe you ;)

haha. I swear i've never played this before. That 800k run was my 2nd game. I love shootem ups. I am in the top 10 in just about every shooter on the xbox and in the top 20 for gradius v.
The money just gives you 5k to your score. Also, the star i believe is given for every 100k you dont die. if you die the star corresponds to your spread of each weapon upgrade. I use the V to get up to a 5-spread. Then i take the 4 up arrows for increased fire power and speed to my 5 spread. Also, i guess depending on how long you push the upgrades up before grabbing one, you should see a star, which givse you a 8-way shot, but i dont like it much. |

I guess thats pretty much it for this game. Dont think im going to want to play again just to squeek a few more points if someone beats my score. Seeya in 5 weeks! :) |
I don't know man. you might be good at shootem-ups but it takes a little while to learn the attack patterns and the enemies, and its not just about being good... but maybe you are the nostradamus of shootem-ups as in you can see what is going to happen even before it does.. :)

I've got a funny feeling that this round has been won already. Crazy.

My new score: 323,520 My way to obtain good weapon is: - destroy the first token ship as fast as you can (shoot it before it finishes building itself), - flip the tokens until you get V (more spreaded fire) and 4 cross fire (faster fire ratio), - from the next token ships obtain the same tokens. Does anyone know why sometimes token ship leaves two and the other time three tokens? |
I dont know what to tell some of you. i feel once you've seen a good shmup (gradius, strikers 1945, gigawing) attack patterns are pretty much assumed. My first game i got 364,000. I was feeling it out. The second game i got the 814. I played two more games and got the 1.5. Next game i got 1.7 and the following 2.1. If you want me to put a video of it up, i can. To be honest, i didnt think the game was that difficult. The only time i felt it was difficult is when i have a hard time seeing things or become too aggressive.
The reason the goose ship leaves 3 is when you defeat it before it connects itself. Also, the money token is invulnerability. You can push the tokens up, saving them for the hard spots. I didnt use that strategy, but its there for the taking. |
