The only thing that drives me crazy about this game is that there are random encounters in the blue "cleared" areas... so my maxed out gold dragons are wasting their time beating on level 5 penguins. Other than that, great game. 4/5
I think I figured out Mission 9. You can't do anything with the smaller calibre rifles ... you need a .338 rifle (at least, that's how *I* passed the mission). Hope that helps.
