Star Soldier PS2 2 minutes mode - 1,046,630

Replacing the previous video I had with this one. It's my best and most likely last run of the game's 2-minute mode, as the game's scoring system has been found to be broken.

There's a video on Youtube Japan where the player gets almost 3 million points on this mode simply because of an insanely high rate of fire achieved with a turbo controller or an equivalent.

Be sure to watch this video in higher quality, it looks very blurry otherwise.

weird... how is it broken?

The autofire indeed breaks the scoring system. If you just hold the fire button down the resulting autofire isn't nearly as effective than if you keep tapping the fire button at a high rate. So you want to get an autofire-enabled controller to get around that.

This however breaks the scoring system, as the indestructible enemies starting at 0:38 give you points for every bullet hit. It's possible to score almost 3 million points with a good autofire controller.

so is this mode the same as the regular game play, just limited in time?

The stage is exclusive to the 2/5 minute modes, and it's designed to fit scoreplay better.

Thank you... We are designing a "Caravan" mode in our game and I was researching how they are often done, not to copy, but to make sure I am doing what shooter fans may expect from it.

drvaginashark, how does the autofire break in the game? is this related to the broken score system?

It's beautiful...

Damn shame that autofire breaks the game so badly
