Hi

Looking at the earlier post today, I thought it would be nice to represent the XBOX 360 arcade version of the game on You Tube.

 

The video takes you through the first 6 levels after which the game repeats with the only difference being your ship requires more fuel. After bombing the base the third time, the fuel usage is the same, hence once mastered it is down to your ability to concentrate up to a maximum possible score of 999,990.

At the time of making this video I am placed 5th in the World and 2nd in the UK.

 

I hope you enjoy.

great vid.

I alway lose lives on that tight bit of level 5.  Do you use analogue or dpad?

Hi,

 

Thx for comment. I use the analogue stick all the time. I can't get on with the dpad at all.

 

That said, a couple of the best players in the world, namely Alexander61 (No.1 in world) and DJames (No.1 in UK) use the dpad with great success!

 

Keep practicing this final section. Remember - hold the stick to the right to keep as far forward as possible, then hold the stick diagonally back (up or down) to negotiate the vertical sections, then power forward again. With practice, this section will become the easiest to nail everytime!

 

Enjoy :-)

 

i've nailed it a couple of times before but I think using hard diagonals is probably the key.  i do only tend to struggle on that small awkward bit of the level with the quick up and down part.

thanks!

got it!

level 5 was a sod but a lot easier once I knew that diagonals were the key to that one tricky bit.

cheers for the help!

Nice one!

Cheers Orc!

Porsche, to be honest, the guides I've read have been next to useless.  The video in this thread is what you need.


Level 1 should be a complete formality and level 2 is very easy, just stay at the maximum height that the aliens reach. 

Level 3 is easy but the fireballs are random.  Get low as soon as possible and go forwards a little so there is room to move forwards and back.  Stay below the mountains and then move up/forward/down over them quickly before a fireball hits you.

Level 4 is a bit random it seems.  I've often been able to stay back to the left just dropping bombs and haven't lost a life.  Other times that = death. 

Level 5 is a pig.  Stay forwards all the time.  Move down/back or up/back as needed.  A diagonal move like that moves you horizontally at the same speed as the scrolling.  For the tight section you need to use diagonals.

Level 6 as soon as you get past the 'konami' sign drop down and bomb the base from ultra-close range and then fly up.

Yeah, I can easily get to level 5 without dying, but no further, even with all the tactics. I have watched OP's vid a dozen times now at least, and still, no luck. I keep running into walls, even with plenty of room. I will keep trying, and I am sure it will eventually happen!

Level 5 was the one that made me want to cry half the time.

You know, I actually managed to hit the f'king Konami sign on the base level whilst I had all my lives.  I nailed the achievement a couple of goes after that though.

With level 5 the things that helped me were;

go all the way forward when ever possible it gives you more time to move up/down in the vertical sections.

when moving up/down do it in diagonals whilst going back.  you'll move at the speed of the scrolling.  it's the only way to nail the tricky bit.

good luck, you can totally do it.

Oh yeah, I have the angles down, I usually stop too soon, or go too far - that's my problem... lol

Heh, porschephiliac, don't give up, keep practicing and it will only be a matter of time before you complete this game!

Man...that's crazy!  Takes me back to the old days were I used to watch the best Scramble players go through wave after wave making it look so easy.  I have gotten through maybe once - EVER.

I think I may have to download this game...

Nice vids Thegoldenorc.  Esp. James juggling.  Man,  I would love to co-op with you or James again one day but with a better connection...you know all my coop games have been with people from europe to where the lag is really bad. 

Pacmantab,  you've gotta get this game,  you'll be a legend at this in no time...the true legend of Pac-Man!  And IMO the true winner of that so called tourny *cough*cough* I mean endorsement that took place in N.Y.  Remember that message I sent ya..."You don't determine who the best soccer player is by making them play baseball."

Oh BTW...  the best part of watching that first video is the beginning part... where they show that guys name on top of the leaderboard  : )

Nice to hear from you Alexzander61, yeah we had some good times playing co-op, i couldn't hack the lag, but you still managed to play some impressive scramble.

You'll always be No. 1 mate.

Ugh, I still don't have this one done... I guess I gave up a long time ago on it. I will start again and hopefully I can get it. Watching the video pumps me up!

come on porschephiliac, you're a pro ... you can do this one in your sleep :-)

I can easily get to the 5th area, but for some reason I just can't get through it!  I have yet to see the last area with my own eyes on my own console. ugh. :D
