You wouldn't like me when I'm angry! How about full-on PO'ed? In this 3-D bash-em-up it's kill or be killed. To ease that anger a tad, try some of these helpful cheats. With the drill in-tow, select the frying pan weapon. Then go back to the weapons menu and press Circle and R1 together until your health shows 999. Invincibility! Or, to skip on ahead, press L1, L2, R1, R2, and Up at the same time on the main menu. Next start a new game, and then altogether L1, L2, R1, R2, and Down. Pick your difficulty, choose your level, and get going, already! |
