Star Soldier

I've never put one of these up so yell if I'm omitting anything important. Gauging popularity of the game the charts will be expanded to 10 slots if needed. Also of note, the game employs a internet ranking board like Ikaruga and Cosmic Smash.

A few things worth mentioning. There are no gaps in this game. As soon as a wave of enemies is destroyed the next ones appear, no matter how fast or slow you are. This is especially important in 2/5 minute games where there are infinite (?) enemies, and bosses to take out with precious little time. Also in addition to bonuses for taking out a wave of enemies pay attention to special yellow blocks that appear when a bullet strikes them. These double everytime you find one til you die or pass to another stage (Ex: 500, 1,000, 2,000, 4,000, etc).

I've just ordered this at VGD- I'm jumping off the fence and getting a GameCube. Hopefully I'll be here sometime next week with a score.

Kenshin, looking forward to it. If you like Zanac Neo this game is right up your alley . *-neo

JJE-1,259,470-stage 4

Died 3 times on the 3rd boss. what a waste. I gotta take a break cause that shit d-pad is giving me a blister. I gotta get that hori controller.

I hear ya. My finger tends to mash the entire d-pad, resulting in alot of kamikaze deaths. *-neo

[Kinopio]

JJE-1,528,450-stage 6

Managed to barely get by the stage 5 boss, and then promptly died on the first enemy in stage 6.
Anyone manage to find the laser upgrade anywhere other than stage 1? That weapon is crucial.

Fantastic game, Star Soldier is.

This was done using the D-Pad on the GameCube's stock controller. A stick would be better, definitely. BTW, here's the Zeg Bonus breakdown:

1st- 500
2nd- 1,000
3rd- 4,000
4th- 10,000
5th- 40,000
6th- 80,000
7th & all additional- 100,000 each

2 Minute Mode:

I have a few questions:

1) How many stages are there.

2) Does anyone have the URL to the online competition site? I can't find it anywhere in the instruction manual.

3) What;s in the Omake? How is it unlocked?
