Soldner-X 2: Final Prototype

Pick the Mexxus II and use the magma weapon. During the first half of the first section, try to kill as much as you can. When an enemy fires, try to kill it before it can get off a second shot. As you progress through this section, keep toward the upper middle section as a lot of the shots will come from there. Dodge the shots coming from the bottom section.

For sections two and three, stay around the bottom and keep the fire button held down. Your weapon is mainly to clear a path so you don't have to worry about collisions, but you'll take a lot of shooters down with you.

The key to dodging the enemy fire (which are all in circular rings) is to treat the bullet rings as the face of a clock. Try to pass through the rings between the 7:30 and 10:30 positions. Ideally, the 9:00 position is the best because you can sail straight through, but seeing as most of your fire will come from the opposite end of the screen that will rarely be the case. As each ring approaches you, move forward slightly to squeeze between the bullets. Try not to get too vertical with the bullet rings or else you will not have much maneuvering room due to the length of your ship; you can get into serious trouble this way if you are trying to make it through two rings at once. You are only allowed to get hit once by enemy fire, so be very careful.
