Me and a friend just finished the Normal difficulty today. That last battle was a lot better!

The rocket turret is fun as well!

Where from? I can't find it in stock anywhere and just assumed it hadn't been released yet. (We are talking about Global Defence Force, yes?)

Yes.

I've placed an order with Gameseek, who have sent an email confirming that payment has been processed successfully. This means not a jot as I really can't be sure that the game is out - though it was supposedly released last Friday.

HMV claim to have stock on order (released 27/10/06

) and Amazon were showing stock last week but not any more.

Only Gameseek claim "In stock Now! - Usually dispatched within 24 hours. "

Me confused.

I need to import Global Defense Force. I know it's not as good, thanks to a wonky targeting system, but I must have it anyway. For one thing it's got more weapons and enemies, which is fine by me.

Finished it on Normal today. My word those last few levels are hardcore. And that final boss is a textbook example of how to do end bosses well

Once you start getting close to 1000HP, like 700+, you can poke into a few earlier levels and, if you've got the patience for retrying it a few times, mine them for bigger and more explosive toys. Fast fingers, a good weapon loadout, and a tolerance for the Game Over screen required.

That's good to hear. So I'm not totally useless then.....just mostly.

Picked this up today. Most fun I've had in a game for AGES. Hysterical.

I've been playing this again, since I didn't finish it off the first time. There was one level involving so many ants that I couldn't even see what was happening. So I just kept firing! Got there in the end.

I've managed (after plowing through Easy) to get through Normal too (on my own). I think for the higher difficulty levels I'll definitely am going to need a second player...

And yes, the earned Rocket Turrets allowed me to try and finish the 'Crimson' mission on Hard (but sadly no nice weapons dropped

).

I've managed to finish the second mission on Hardest, but that difficulty level is more something of "Look there! There's an ant in the distance" and 1 second later "Aaargh, it's on top of me!"

"Damn you mothership! Why don't you go home? To space!"

I'm up to level 51 now. How many levels are there?

53 if I'm not mistaken... Almost there!

And then you can do it all again on a higher difficulty level

Thanks!

I'm doing it on Normal, and that's plenty hard enough for me.
