Introduction:
Welcome to the Blood bath! Matt Hazard makes his XBLA debut in Blood bath and Beyond. This game is great for the side scroller lovers of yester-year like Contra and Metal Slug. Straight up run and gun at it's finest!
While this is a simple game, many of the achievements will not come naturally and you'll have to put in some effort for them. So let's get to it!
Step 1: Playthrough #1
Have a go at this on 'wussy' difficulty. You need to unlock all of the maps by completing one playthrough in order to be able to use mission select feature. This feature will be your best friend in getting most of the achievements. In this playthrough, just concentrate on getting all of the game boxes using THIS guide and finishing the game. This will give you at least three achievements for 65 .
Step 2: Playthrough #2
Now try and run though the game killing EVERYTHING very slowly to make sure you get all of the pachinko coins and getting your score up past 500k. This is going to be tough so don't rush. Remember that using continues costs you 5k each so be careful and try not to die too often. Also, even though you have all game box pieces, pick them up anyway for the extra points. The coin guide can be found HERE. Doing both of these things will get you at least another two achievements for 55 .
Step 3: Mission select
Now it's time to do all of the mission specific achievements you may have not got during your other playthroughs (if any). Refer to the achievements in the guide for any help you need. This will net you another five achievements for 60 . Be warned, some of these are REALLY hard and frustrating. They will take a lot of practice so be patient.
Step 4: Co-op
Yes, I know...No co-op over XBL. That does suck but this is still a fun game with a friend. All you need to do for your last achievement is complete the game on co-op. I did this with a second controller and killed the 2nd player off so it goes to the "steal a life" option and then just didn't touch it after that. Basically you're just playing by yourself at that point. It does work, but if you die and continue your partner will be back and I'm told you only have a limited number of playthroughs for this option. Either way, one more go through the story mode and you'll 100% complete this game.
Conclusion:
All in all, not a super hard 200 but definitely requires some time to go through. The story can be done in about 1hour and 30 minutes or so but it's worth it. Lots of things you loved about Eat Lead return in this game. It's a shame the voice acting is limited, but it's still great. Congrats on getting 100% on the blood bath!
