Thank God, detailed boss strategies. You're a hero in my book, Natanji. Thanks!

Hey guys I was just wondering about the "Laser Assassin" achievement. Can this be done in score attack mode or do I have to be in the normal play mode? Thanks!

You have to do it in normal mode.

Ok thanks! Got the achievement now, nearly onto my first 200! =)

Thank you VERY much for creating this guide Natanji.
It is an excellent guide for an excellent game. You managed to answer every question I had before I could ask them, and it was especially nice knowing that the beam type would go up to sort of keep track of Score Attack clears.

All I need now is 95%+ shotdown in Area 5, first rank in Boss Rush, and then complete Direct Assault (trance). Thanks again!

About the 95% shotdown achievement: I got that one recently, and I managed to ramp up my percentage of shotdowns in area 5 by a large amount (from 90 to 95.15%) simply by shooting everything the final boss (I mean the woman) was throwing at me, especially during the phase where you're simply circling around her and she basically can't hit you. She shoots away lots of triangular stuff, and these things definitely count.

I don't get it, you can only shoot with A.

for the 10 hrs of game play put that you must make shure that you're xbox is not set to go off i did not trun that setting off and well the xbox truned off after 6hrs

Great guide! Have had the game 2 days and this has helped me a great deal knowing the best way to beat this game

Just a quick point thiough, I don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere.

When I was doing level 2 in normal mode, I got to the boss and it said it was Giga. But when I finished it said I only had 94.7 %. So what I am saying is that just because you have giga doesn't mean you have 95%.

What I did when going through all the Direct Assaults was plug in my Street Fighter 4 pad and use turbo on the button for Overdrives (With them set to infinite) and then just left the game running ... saves sitting there keep pressing the button. I did that for all Direct Assaults except Trance obviously

lol Just came across what I wrote a while back, missed out you need to strap an elastic band around the shoot button with turbo pressed!
