DoDonPachi: Resurrection - High Scores

[dsheinem]

630,770,226 - dsheinem - Area 3 - Type C/Strong - 360*

* = still had one "hit" left (lost all bombs of last ship but was working on my last guy when all of the sudden I "lost connection"). I am not saying it would have been much higher, but it COULD have been I think I'll stay away from "Score Attack" mode in case this happens on a good run later.



I feel like I am starting to figure some things out in terms of how they work, now I just need to nail the timing and actually do it right

I kept trading off runs with my just-turned-three year old, who can now make it to the second level unassisted in 360 mode

I could not for the life of me figure out the scoring in this game (despite reading this thread)...so I figured i'd give the Novice mode one quick go.

I think this well help me out a lot going forward. It was nice seeing where the 1up is (unless there are more?). and also learning some strategies for trickier spots - granted, the novice mode sprays probably only 65% of bullets as in the main game it seems.

@dsh, is there a benefit to playing online? I don't play online, but would def. suck to have a run die out like that. I'm guessing it is for leaderboards, but if you save to your hardrive, won't they turn up the next time you go online for the game? I really don't know, havent been on xbla yet...

@anyone who's played novice mode...seems like there are a lot more BEE's...are there that many in the 360 main version? If so, i'm missing them. I get (3) on level one 360 mode, I think I counted (6) maybe (7) on my novice run...and those points can help yr score in a hurry.

It just doesn't/won't ever show up on the online leaderboards if you don't play while connected online.

Novice mode shows you where all the bees are in regular mode.

Improvement Should pass 1 billion today with a bit of practice if I get more play time.

Nice man!

Yeah, I think that, in Novice mode, all bees are in the normal route, whereas in the normal game, only 7 bees are in the normal route, and you have to enter the alternate path to get the full 10 bees per stage.

I hit about 850mill on a run a while ago, but I'll wait to post for now in hopes of getting close to that 1 billion. I scored about half of that on the first stage alone

Apparently I hit a higher score last year. Guess I will post that up later.

[dsheinem]

Just hit 1.4 billion The extra life at 1 billion + the extra life on stage 3 are very helpful, I'll post when I (hopefully soon) pass up our current leader.

Dude, nice! You are making quick progress! Which mode are you using?
