Attack of the Movies 3D

It Is a cheat code but it was originally obtained by pre-ordering this game so its technically also a pre-order code so you can use it even if your against using cheats :)

Why does this have negative thumbs?

This wasn't too bad. Just the graveyard level is a pain. That long section in the crypts with no health and the skeletons and the 2 mummies at once took an hour for me to pass that.

And on ant level, this guide made it a BREEZE, do NOT kill blue ants. Just shoot the green balls and it's all over.
Thank you.

Thanks for the projectile tip for the blue ants on Level 1. Immediately after reading that I focused on hitting their acid balls and I was able to beat the stage shortly thereafter. Hard mode wasn't too bad for me, especially since I saved this achievement for last and by that time I had played through the other stages quite a few times while attempting the miscellaneous achievements. Here are some of my main tips for the game:

- Practice and adjust to the control sensitivity. If you're still struggling with aiming, try using the right thumb stick to aim. Personally, I was more precise with it than the typical left stick.

- Don't always shoot power-ups or first aid pick ups in the background immediately, wait for the best time to use them. Level 1 is a perfect example of this as most first aid pick ups are available to pick up throughout the entirety of the stage from a distance (and you can shoot them during later harder sections). For some timed sections of levels (where enemies will run away after a while) you can even cheese sections by allowing enemies to hit you and just shoot a nearby first aid kit to replenish your health. You won't have to worry about defeating enemies and the game will just advance you to the next area over time. Deep Sea Danger and Graveyard Gunfight have sections where you can do this.

- Turbo controller helps but is not necessary at all. Having extra people to play with you makes it easier but is also not necessary (with practice I nearly got everything done solo).

The 2 stages that gave me the most trouble were:

Level 2 Cosmic Combat:
This stage gave me a lot of trouble, more specifically the section right after the halfway checkpoint. After passing the asteroid field and through the reactor, not long after you'll be bombarded with green and red ships. The key to clearing this section is to (with good aim) destroy them from behind as they fly onto the screen. If you shoot most of them in the bright light from behind their ship before they turn around to attack, that gives you a good chance of surviving their collective attack on you. Try to take out the red ships quickly as they seem to inflict more damage than the green ones.

After I got pass this single section I beat the entire stage on Hard first try. It's just that one section where I died on repeatedly. Another tip is to start the entire stage over if you die. Beginning at the halfway checkpoint puts you at an unfair disadvantage and at least if you start the stage from the beginning you can try to get a Megashot and keep it long enough to help out with destroying the ships in that difficult ship section.

Level 6 Graveyard Gunfight:
This one seems to give everyone trouble, mainly because of the second half section in the tombs after the halfway checkpoint. Also, until right before the boss, there appear to be no health pick ups to my knowledge in the entire tomb section. However, it seems the projectile tip applies here too with the skeletons. Shoot the skulls instead of the enemies to prevent more from spawning. If you're lucky, the game will spawn green skeletons instead of the more aggressive red ones. In the first section, I'd focus on the skeletons closest to me as it seems melee damage hurts more than the projectile skulls being fired. Kill the green ones first since they drop faster and try to line up your shot with skeletons who are behind others. Try to keep your health high. If you are at less than 80% health after this section then just die intentionally. If you lose too much health it will make the double mummy section later even harder.

After killing a string of mummies and passing through darkness with bats, you'll come to a second section of skeletons. This section spawns lots of tougher red skeletons. Like before, try to shoot skeletons who are lined up and focus on the ones in front, only stopping to shoot any skulls thrown at you. When shooting the double mummy enemies, try to focus on the first one that emerges from its coffin and only direct your fire to the other one as it is about to hit you. If you're lucky you'll be able to finish off the first one before that is even required but it might save you a few seconds from being hit (which is why it is advised to clear previous sections without too much damage).
