Battling those Toasters

Batlestar Galactica on the PS2 is more fun than watching the show ever was. At least here you don't have to put up with all that dialogue or a gender reassignment for your favorite character. Playing Battlestar Galactica you'll find out that it's not that easy flying a Viper and taking on all those metal, human-killing machines. So finding ways to cheat is the answer. Hey, that's only human isn't it? You have to win at all costs. Here goes...

Wingmen are Vital

Beat the game once in Normal mode to unlock the All Wingmen Cheat.

Complete the first mission with an "A" grade while playing in the Expert mode to unlock the Select Your Wingmen menu. Now you can select how many wingmen you want to accompany you as well as their strengths. This will boost your chances against those toasters.

Special Abilities are Good
