Comments: Joint Strike is a remake of the classic 1940's series of shmups, though I can't really recall 1942 that well, I want to think my memories are for 1945. Whatever, this is another great shmup with achievements that, while difficult, aren't impossible. Padlocked is by far the toughest, requiring you get an S rank for each boss in the game in ONE playthrough. Refer to the x360a guide (as usual) for help and videos, but what it boils down to is the upgraded Spread Gun and exploiting each bosses Dead Zones. The only boss whose Dead Zone is only partially accurate is Dagmor, no matter what I do he kills me every time I play the game, but oh well, he can still be killed well within the time limit for an S rank. Beating the game on Wing King is easiest with the Mosquito (as is everything else) and getting S ranks on bosses goes a long way to giving you extra lives. Depending on your skill level this game could take as little as 2 hours to complete, as long as you have a friend handy that you can partner up with. 200/200 in a few hours for most people, though playing on Wing King can be a bitch and Padlocked's only trouble comes from the first boss, Bodan, you only have like 13 seconds to kill him. I think I did it in 12, maybe 13, it's going to be close no matter how you slice it.

Comments: This game is easier than it seems. The only difficult achievement for me was to beat the game with the Shinden. The rest took a couple of days of practice.
