Here's some comments of each level...
Trouble in Paradise- This was a new record for me, so nothing to complain about. I sometimes am able to get the Golden Gun, but it's not a big deal. I don't use the pistol that much, so it would only save a few seconds, max.
Precious Cargo- Another personal record, so nothing to complain about, again. I could of hit the red flashing button a little faster at the end, but that's about it.
Dangerous Pursuit- I usually get unlimited missiles, which makes Streets of Bucharest easier. Luckily, I do great on Streets of Bucharest and didn't need the missiles. Could have been a few seconds faster, but not bad at all.
Bad Diplomacy- This is a very easy level, with very little potential to mess up. Nothing interesting here.
Cold Reception- I get hung up on a machine gunner after I go down the first elevator, so I could of saved a second or two there. Still plenty fast.
Night of the Jackal- I could kill Jackal a little faster, but that fight's half luck. I got the Helicopter pilot with one sniper shot, so I'm happy about that.
Streets of Bucharest- Everything went fine, til the end of the level. If I line it up right, I can shoot the red tank at the end before the cut scene starts. I try to do that, as you can see, but I miss. I need to aim more left next time. It saves about 7 seconds.
Fire and Water- I fumble around with my gadgets at one point. I was trying to pull out my jet pack, but I take a few extra seconds. Everything else was fine, and fast.
Forbidden Depths- Oooh, I was going to get a new personal record here, but I missed a shot with a guided missile at the end. Everything else was super fast.
Poseidon- A bit of sloppy fighting, but it's a new personal record, so what the hay.
Mediterranean Crisis- I beat my old personal record by nine seconds, so I'm very happy with my performance on this level. I could shoot the two guards who are holding that girl hostage a bit faster, but if I miss, I blow them all up. Blowing the girl up = run over.
Evil Summit- I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself! I did everything right, and all I had to do was shoot the boss in the head a second faster, and I hesitated. I had it lined up and everything, why didn't I pull the trigger? If I had pulled the trigger a second faster, I would of got 3:3x on that level. I think it would of been under 3:35, which would of game me sub 40 minutes. Just pretend that I pulled the trigger a second faster, and I got sub 40.
If some new tricks come up, I'll redo this run and get sub 40. Until then, have a jolly good day! If you wish to contact me, my email is platinum.cygnus АТ gmail.com and my AIM s/n is Platinum Cygnus.
