There are also achievements for completing the different difficulty levels - easy, medium, hard and expert - and for playing through the game’s two-player modes. 

The one bit of sad news is the game doesn’t support online multiplayer. Boo!

There will be a leaderboard via Xbox Live, but, yeah, we’d rather play head to head over Xbox Live then read stats. Oh well, The Trooper easily makes up for all of that.
