I love YaBB 1G - SP1!
This game is really short, and I've managed to get a time of 39:06 on story mode with Rookie difficulty.
I could probably manage a 40-something minute run in single segment, and I'm trying now to see if I can get under 35 minutes doing it level by level. The method I use right now is to do the story sequentially, level by level to see if I can beat my old times. Redoing every level from the start menu will force you to start with only your basic pistols, and the last 4 or so levels really benefit from a cumulative arsenal that can be gotten from story mode.
There's no real strategy other than memorizing where enemies will ambush you from and killing them quickly, since you pretty much have to kill everybody. There are plenty of times I could save 10-20 seconds targetting exploding barrels and cars, but I can't because the target lock-on refuses to cooperate.
My general strategy is to just shootdodge and kill as many enemies as possible, since shootdodging provides the best accuracy, as opposed to just running up to enemies and killing them. In the case of the last few levels I can disarm enemies later when I run out of adrenaline instead of shooting them normally because it goes faster. Bosses are easy to deal with, and I try to save up shotgun ammo for them. I'll use the dog on them sometimes, since it knocks them down, saving me time that I'd usually use to dodge their shots.
I don't have any videos offhand, but I may in the near future once I find somebody with a PS3. :p
My times are taken from the count at the end of the level, and I don't think I can beat any of my new times (except for maybe Rooftops, since I spend some unnecessary time gathering extra ammo). When I do get videos done, I'll try my best to match them.
