A WHILE BACK THERE WAS A FEW POSTINGS WITH HINTS TO BEAST II ALSO SOMEONE 
POSTED THE WHOLE SOLUTION, BUT YOU SHOULDN'T NEED THIS TO COMPLETE IT AS LONG 
AS YOU HAVE THE UNLIMITED LIVES CHEAT MODE ON.

I HAVE COMPLETED THE GAME IT IS VERY GOOD.  I HAVE ALSO GOT THE KILLING GAME
SHOW BUT HAVE HAD IT FOR LESS TIME.  BUT IN MY OPINION IT DOES BEAT BEAST II
YOU DON'T NEED ANY CHEAT MODES TO GET TO THE NEXT LEVEL, JUST PRACTICE.

THIS SWAP PROBABLY WOULD BE WORTHWHILE IN MY OPINION.
