first off, this game is far better than the reviews show. the problem was it was released at $60, when it shouldve been a budget title, or maybe gone right to XBLA for 1200 points or less.
anyways, you want to kill the boss ship. I first did it with Mika. at the first part just try to take as little damage as possible and keep hitting X until you proceed to the next phase. this part nearly made me give up, and i hate giving up on games, but once you kinda learn the pattern, you're all set.
you've got two vertical walls and a small gap between them. behind that are two turrets, and behind that is a laser beam with a shield as well as missile launchers. i find the best way to go about it is hide behind one wall and when the laser dies down, begin strafing across the gap, i did it while holding RT to control my aim a bit more. once the turrets are out, you've got to use the same pattern, but be quick and hit the laser before it goes back into its shielding. i usually will peek out when the laser first starts to get the missiles to shoot at me, then duck back. once they hit, move right beside the laser beam and as it dies down, start bombarding it with everything you got. should take about 5-6 passes to blow the bugger.
the last part is just a pain in the ass. there are 3 things to be very aware of. first, the orbs fired from the core itself. second, the rotating wall protecting the core. third, the orbs that fire horizontally.
after many attempts, what i finally did was just hold down RT, watch for the rotating wall, and when i had a chance id rush in, bombard the core, duck back when the wall came back around. its sloppy and stupid, but as long as you dont get caught by the wall, you should be able to do it in a few salvos.
