As I get more, I'll do revisions and other stuff to make it more readable, fix spelling and grammatical errors, etc. (?`*.,II. Introduction,.*??) Your brothers-in-arms are hostages behind enemy lines, and you're their only hope for freedom. But the firepower you'll face to rescue them is awesome. Rescue the POW's in the buildings. You'll need a pocket full of miracles, and the ferocity of a wild jackal. (?`*.,III. Controller,.*??) A: Fire bullet B: Throw grenade Start: Pause Game D-pad: Move (?`*.,IV. Commonly Used Terms,.*??) POW: Prisoner Of War, these will be the guys you are trying to rescue - green - Regular men, no extra weapons - brown - I'll call them 'generals', weapon advances for picking them up Infantry: Enemy soldiers, they carry rifles Cannons: The silver/blue turret guns (?`*.,V. Walkthrough,.*??) ------------------------- Mission 1: (coast) ------------------------- This battle will make your blood boil. Good luck! Infantry: 1 bullet, 1 missile (or you can run them over) Cannon: 3 bullets, 1 missile Tank: 3 bullets, 1 missile Boat: 6 bullets, 1 missile The helicopter will drop you off, and you are ready to begin your first mission. Take out the two infantry in front of you, and head east, near the forest. Go up and you will come to your first POW tent. Throw a grenade at it to let the guy out, and drive over to him and he'll hop in the jeep. You will now have a missile launcher instead of grenades. *Keep in mind that as soon as you advance, you cannot go back, so don't skip over any tents. POW count: 1 Just northwest of the tent is a cannon, it should only take 3 shots to destroy it, or one grenade. The cannon fires 3 bullets at a time, and it shoots pretty rapidly, just dodge and shoot. Also, directly west of the tent is another cannon, it is not necessary to destroy these, but if you want points, go for it. Head north and you'll come to a set of 2 cannons, you can hide behind a rock for cover and just hit them with grenades (missiles will hit the rock, you you'll have to go around and fire), also watch your back as an infantry will advance from behind you. There is another cannon west of these. Hit the green barricade with a grenade and enter the camp. Pick off the two guards first, so they won't cause you any problems The POW tent at the bottom right contains 4 POWs. The green tent has a general. The middle tent also has 4, and the one to the left has 2. POW count: 12 *If your jeep gets hit, you will lose POWs, only have 5 lives, so make them count! If you have to 'continue' you will begin at the start of the level. Head out of the camp and up to the bridge, take out the guards first and then aim for the boat with a grenade/missile. On the other side of the bridge, you'll encounter a tank, it takes four bullets, to kill, or one grenade/missile. Directly north is a tent with a general. POW count: 13 After moving forward a bit, you'll notice a white helicopter fly overhead, that is your transport to get the POWs out. Head north and you'll come to 2 cannons behind bunkers, take those out, head up and you must destroy 4 more cannons, a tank, and a few infantry. Also, if you go to the very northeast of this are, right next to the 3 cannons, there is a corner in the jungle. Shoot around there and a star will appear, hit this and all the cannons will automatically be killed. Move forward, and there is a row of 3 cannons, which you will need to hit, and the helicopter pad is just ahead. Take out the cannon in front of the tent, get the general, and head to the pad where it says 'stop'. The POWs will board the helicopter, and you will receive 500 points for each man. Just up ahead is the 'boss' of the stage, so get ready! *This level is very short, and can be completed within a few minutes if you know what you're doing. ---Boss 1--- Blue tanks: 10 bullets, 2 missiles I guess you could count this as a few mini-bosses. They are blue tanks, each take two grenade/missile shots to kill them. I do not recommend you use your bullets on these guys, just the explosive projectiles. There are 5 tanks total, and it shouldn't take much longer than a minute or so. Only strategy you need is hit and run. ------------------------ Mission 2: (ruins) ------------------------ Infantry: 1 bullet, 1 missile Tank (brown): 4 bullets, 1 missile Tank (gray): 6 bullets, 1 missile Cannon: 3 bullets, 1 missile Jeep: 2 bullets, 1 missile Airplane: 1 missile (cannot hit w/ bullets) Statues (water): 1 missile (cannot hit w/ bullets) Pillar: 7 bullets, 1 missile You'll notice a difficulty increase automatically, a tank will come right at you, there are a few infantry and the cannons now shoot much faster. Also the generals are now held in what look like tin shacks, the first which can be found directly north of where you begin. (Regular POWs are in tan colored tents) POW count: 1 Head north and you will come upon a tank and two cannons which you should take out. Also if you want some extra points, shoot the blue statue in the water with a missile. Head into the camp, and there is a general in front of you, go to the right and go all the way down and kill the two infantry, these guys will kill you as you pick up POWs from the tent if you don't. The south tent has 4, and the north also has 4. POW count: 10 Right as you exit the camp, a gray tank attacks you, only this guy shoots cannonballs at you, still only takes one grenade/missile to kill though. Instead of trying to hit the two cannons, go out when they don't fire and head west, and pick up the general. POW count: 11 Now go back and take out the two with ease. Proceed forward and you now have another option: east or west. Either way, you'll be in the same place, the only difference is the west path is longer with more enemies, and the east takes you directly to the next part. Also, an enemy plane will fly overhead here, dropping bombs on you, dodge them, or shoot the plane down so you won't get hit. As you come down the ramp, you will see 5 pillars, the top of one will fall off. Be sure to dodge this as it can kill you, when it lands, hit it with a missile and go on. Go up to the grassy area, and take down the infantry, and pick up the general. POW count: 12 A little north, it gets "exciting". You will need to take out 4 cannons, a few infantry, a tank, an airplane will fly overhead and drop bombs, and you will encounter a new enemy, a jeep. This jeep moves very fast, so it can be a hard target, and it throws grenades all over, so watch out. Defeat all this, and drop of you POWs on the helicopter pad. As you exit the grassy area, there will be 7 pillars falling down in the next part, so keep an eye out for them. Another jeep is located in here, and a plane also. Head towards the bridge, where yet another jeep and plane will attack you. The blue statues (as seen before) are here too, only this time they fire missiles at you, very easy to dodge, but deadly if you don't pay attention. After the bridge and a few cannons, its time for boss number two! ---Boss 2--- Statues: 3 missiles (cannot hit w/ bullets) 4 Statues are at the top, you will need to destroy them all to complete the stage. They fire missiles at you, only these things follow you, so you will need to be moving around pretty much the whole time. To destroy the heads, hit them with a grenade/missile right before they fire at you (when the mouth is open) or simply hit each one 3 times. So try and move as much as possible, and use your bullets to destroy incoming projectiles. Eventually, you will defeat them all, and can proceed to the next area. ---------------------------- Mission 3 (shipyard) ---------------------------- Infantry: 1 bullet, 1 missile Cannon: 3 bullets, 1 missile Spread Cannon: 4 bullets, 1 missile Boat: 10 bullets, 1 missile Jeep (parked): 3 bullets, 1 missile Tank: 4 bullets, 1 missile Transport Truck: 1 missile You will be in a shipyard are now. Proceed through the gate, and take out the tanks and infantry coming after you. For some extra points, take down the jeeps parked in the lot, they don't go anywhere so no need to panic. Destroy the three cannons, and also watch out for the boat in the water that will fire on you. Head northeast and you will come to the first POW tents. Kill all the enemies first and then go for the POWs. There are 4 in the top tent, and 4 in the bottom. POW count: 8 Move north and you will come to two bridges, it doesn't matter which you take, but a submarine will fire on you, and while they are shooting, you will have to deal with a boat in the middle, 3 tanks and a few infantry. If you manage to make your way through all the enemies, destroy one of the parked jeeps to the right, you will get the best missile automatically. Make your way up to the camp, the right tent has one, and the left 4. POW count: 12 Now you will encounter some lasers, simply go in between shots, and you should be able to make it though without a problem. Behind the lasers are quite a few infantry, 2 cannons, a tank, and a transport truck. In order to drop off your POWs, you will need to kill all these fairly quickly, otherwise the chopper will take off before you get to the pad. (Why this pad has a peace symbol on it, I have no idea, maybe to remind you that you're the good guy) Go through the gate, take out the cannons and tank, and proceed to the next gate. In here, you will find a cannon that pops up from the ground, and shoots multiple bullets, these are pretty difficult, so make your move as they are going into the ground. Take out the tank and prepare for the next boss. ---Boss 3--- Boat (cannons): 2 missiles each This one can get a little tricky, as you now have 6 spread cannons firing at you, so there will be a rain of bullets coming at you. Just shoot missiles/grenades as much as possible, so you can take out a gun and make it a little easier to move around without getting nailed. I suggest going for the ones up front first, as they are closest and won't give you much time to run. Then choose right or left, and take out one of the ones on the end, and just work your way across the ship. Once again, just hit and run is pretty much all you can do. ------------------------- Mission 4 (swamp) ------------------------- Infantry: 1 bullet, 1 missile Tank: 4 bullets, 1 missile Missile Launcher: Missile (cannot be hit by bullet) Missile: 1 bullet, 1 missile Rocks: 7 bullets, 1 missile Truck Cannon: 8 bullets, 1 missile Train: 1 missile You'll notice two different types of terrain here, the grass, which you can drive normally on, and the swampy area, which will slow you down dramatically. I'd keep on the grass as much as possible. Take out the tanks and infantry and move north. You'll notice a new enemy, the missile launcher, these things are pretty difficult to take out since they are in the swampy area, and getting to them is slow and you must dodge the missiles at the same time. You'll come up to a fork in the path, either way, there will be land mines (which pop up and disappear) and falling rocks, so keep an eye out. (go for the left path, its easier) At the top of each is a general's shack, the one on the left has a truck cannon next to it which shoots rapidly. POW count: 2 If you enter the camp, the bottom tent has 4 POWs, the middle has 4, and a general at the top. Kill the cannons before trying to get the top two tents. POW count: 11 If you don't wish to enter the camp, before you enter, on the right will take you past the camp and straight to a general right outside. This path has a tank ahead, along with land mines. Either way, pick up the general. POW count: 12 You'll see your transport fly overhead, continue north. Behind the last general's shack, up on the mountain is another rocket launcher. On the west path from here, you'll see train tracks, if you continue ahead the train will come up from behind you, just hit the engine and it will make a nice explosion that hits the rest of the cars. Knock out the truck cannon and proceed to the helicopter pad, taking out the cannons first. There will be 4 more cannons and 2 tanks ahead, then you come to the boss. ---Boss 4--- Helicopter: 7 missiles The concept for this battle is pretty simple, the chopper comes forward, hit it with a grenade/missile, then dodge the few bullets it shoots. It will drop 3 infantry every time, which can be taken out very easily. It will repeat this process over and over until its dead. ----------------------------- Mission 5 (battlefield) ----------------------------- Infantry: 1 bullet, 1 missile Cannon: 3 bullets, 1 missile Tank (brown): 4 bullets, 1 missile Tank (gray): 6 bullet, 1 missile Bridge cannon: 1 missile You'll start out right next to a general's tent, pick him up and take down the tank on the left. POW count: 1 Head across the bridge and destroy the tank and two infantry waiting for you. Then you can enter the camp and pick up some more POWs, there are 2 in the bottom right, 4 in the bottom left, and 2 in the top tent. POW count: 9 If you head out the camp on the left, you'll see what appears to be a general's tent, but in fact it's a decoy of sorts, if you hit it, a tank will come out firing so be careful. Go through the gates, and there are 3 bridges you can go across. On the far right, has a gray tank and an infantry. The middle has a brown tank, infantry, and also an extra life you can pick up if you hit the bridge with a grenade/missile near the end of it. Wall cannons are at the end of the bridge, and will fire a lot. On the far left is land mines. Pick up the general in the tent on the far right. POW count: 10 There are 2 cannons behind barricades, these are tough unless you have a grenade, or the best missiles. If you don't have either, do your best to pick them off and not get hit. A gray tank is behind these two. Another barricade will be in front of 2 cannons and a brown tank. After that, a row of 3 more cannons. (can we get anymore cannons in here?!) Kill the first tank as you enter the camp, and there is one behind it, only it's a flame thrower tank. Take both out, and get the POWs. There are 4 in the tent on the right, and 4 on the left. Then pick up the general right outside the camp. POW count: 18 Proceed across the bridge, and you'll come up to the helicopter pad. But in front of it, you have 2 cannons, and an infantry on both sides of those, also in the back are more infantry, including a flame throwing one. Destroy the front line, and then pick up the general. POW count: 19 Take them all to the chopper pad, and take down the infantry in the back. Shoot the cannons in the next area from behind the fence and then move forward. There will be one more tank in your way, and then the boss. ---Boss 5--- Fort (turret guns, tank hangars): 1 missile each Your first objective should be to take out the two guns in the middle, once you have cleared these off, go to the right. The hangar doors will open and tanks will come out if you don't blow them up. Shoot right when the doors open and it will take out the hangars. Then get the gun to the far right. Once you have completed this, head towards the left. Once again, destroy the two hangars, then aim for the two guns on the left. Once all the guns and hangars are destroyed, the gate can now be opened and you can head to the next level. We made it! -------------------------- Mission 6 (fortress) -------------------------- Infantry: 1 bullet, 1 missile Tank (brown): 4 bullets, 1 missile Tank (gray): 6 bullets, 1 missile Tank (brown) parked: 3 bullets, 1 missile Jeep: 2 bullets, 1 missile Helicopter (brown): 1 missile (cannot be hit by bullets) Roof Cannon: 1 missile Airplane: 1 missile (cannot be hit by bullets) Missile Launcher: 1 missile Missile: 1 bullet, 1 missile Helicopter: Right when you begin, head left, and take out the guns on top of the building with a missile. Go around and hit all the infantry and tanks, and go for the POWs. Both tents have 4 POWs in them. POW count: 8 Take down the 4 tanks and a few infantry before going for the next set of POWs. Also the guns on the building should be killed. All 4 tents around the building have 2 POWs each. POW count: 16 Head for the gate on the left, go though and head right. You must take out the guns on top of the building first before dropping the POWs off, otherwise you will be killed. Watch out for a new enemy, the helicopter, which will fire at you, and a jeep will come too. When you come to the next gate, there will be a spread cannon right when you come in. If you are feeling brave, you can run past all of the guns on the roof, if you want points for an extra life, try and kill them all. Inside the next gate you'll be met by two tanks (and also two parked ones) and a spread cannon. Make your way up and you will come to a building with 5 tanks, and a jeep will come up behind you. Also on the building are roof cannons, which are not necessary to kill. Go right and hit the parked tanks in the way and just go as fast as you can to the gate, once again, killing the roof cannons on the side are not necessary. Go into the area with the triangle on the ground, and kill the missile launchers, and the roof cannons, and keep going up. Here you will have to take out every roof cannon, or you'll get killed, there are 8 total. There will be 2 more infantry, one tank and a helicopter, proceed forward and prepare yourself for the final battle. ---Boss 6--- Fortress (laser cannons) This is a tough battle. Make sure you have cleared all the normal enemies out before going for this fight. It has laser 2 laser cannons on it which fire very fast and they go all over the place, take these out first, moving as much as possible. As always, hit and run is your best option. Then aim for the middle of the building. After you've destroyed the cannons and the rest of the building, you have completed the game. Congrats! You made it! If you've completed this on two player mode, why not step up the dificulty and defeat it alone? (?`*.,VI.
