Alien Storm (set 2, US, 3 Players, FD1094 317-0147)

Mastering Alien Storm (set 2, US, 3 Players, FD1094 317-0147) is easy to learn but hard to perfect, with these tailored tips for both solo and co-op play.

Save your individual character special attacks for mid-boss encounters or when you are surrounded by 5 or more enemies, never waste them on single regular foes. For first-person shooting gallery levels, focus your fire on the glowing weak points on large alien enemies first, as this takes them out in one or two shots instead of wasting ammo on their armored bodies. Always pick up extra ammo drops in these segments, as running out of ammo forces you to use slow melee attacks that leave you vulnerable to incoming enemy fire.

When fighting the final Alien Queen boss, assign one player exclusively to take out the small minion aliens she spawns every 10 seconds, while the other two players aim for her open mouth (her only weak point) when she leans forward to
