So, just to start things of, how many trophies do you have? I got no bronze, no silver, just 49 Golds and 8 Platinum, despite the losses I've made.

You're on the chasm with little bugs so you're alwasy aiming too high. i think its big tony, yeah.
Cos I remember playing that level and I got a platinum trophy for that, with 30 gold coins under 2 mins and 10 seconds.
Don't worry FFF, it's quite fun, don't use that aiming thingy so much, cos then you have to think of aiming and moving, you know what I'm saying.

B'stard.
Ahem.
I thnk Siberia is one of the hardest levels. Took me ages on Normal then I did Chicago in one go.
Hmmm.
Siberia on hard is really hard!! I made it through the time portal, but ma palms were sweating before that, trying to evade shots and all.
No, actually don't.
Stupid monkeys.
Adn has anyone done the 2nd 'One Shot Thrills'? -Arcade League. They're the only ones I haven't done.

This one took me about 20 something tries, the trick is to reach the checkpoint without being shot at all, it is very hard, but helps a lot with the boss. When you reach the top, run to the middle, this will cause the guards to spawn. Kill them both with the Soviet, then quickly run to one side of the dam and unload all of the ROCKETS (from the machine gun's secondary fire) on the helicopter. Then kill the newly spawned guards. Run to the other end of the dam and unload all of the rockets on the helicopter again. Then run to the middle, kill the two guards who will have spawned again (they always spawn one at each side of the dam) and go to the middle mounted machine gun and fire its rockets at the helicopter, this should kill it. Because you're in the middle, the portal should be very close, so run for it!
I hope this helps you beat that $@##* helicopter. I think the Timesplitters 2 Hard mode has got to be one of the hardest gaming challenges ever (along with beating any boss on MGS2 on European Extreme or completing a mission of Commandos safely).
I might do Story Mode on hard, butt it's the Robot Factory, Return To Planet X and the Space Station I'm worried about.
