Unlockables

Infinite Rocket Launcher
Finish the game in under five hours on any difficulty, and you will get infinite usage of the rocket launcher. Merely equip a rocket launcher and fire away, you do not need to buy this through the bonus section like with the other weapons. Also note that you do not need to finish it on one run though. Every time you play through a stage your best time will be set as the standard. If you have spent a long time on one stage, merely replay that from 'chapter select'.
