Legalities ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Introduction ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This guide is intended to help you beat the Microsoft XBOX version of True Crime: Streets of LA. This game is very similar to the Grand Theft Auto series. However, this game is much more challenging than the GTA series and has more depth than just shoot everything in sight. True Crime also contains some elements from Max Payne, like the slowing down of time to see the bullets better and stuff like that. Plus, for the XBOX version you can insert your own music to listen to, making this a game that can be customized to your likes. The city of LA is very expansive, taking around 20 minutes to get from one side to the other via freeway, and has many alleyways, roads, and highways to keep any gamer busy for a long time. So, this game will not collect dust for a long time. This is my first guide, and I intend to help you beat the game with all the endings and to help you obtain the highest statistics possible. This guide may contain spoilers, although I will try to leave those out. Enjoy True Crime: Streets of LA! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ II.

Characters ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: Taken directly from the manual. NICK KANG Although he was recently suspended indefinitely from the police force due to repeated incidents of excessive violence and property damage, Nicholas Kang (Wilson) was recruited into the E.O.D. as the group's first field agent. The same over-the-line methods that got him thrown off the force enable him to succeed at the E.O.D.; his arrest record speaks for itself. Kang's skills in martial arts are only matched by his ability to double-fist firearms and drive like a Hollywood stuntman. THE CHIEF Chief of Detectives, Wanda Parks, is the head of the E.O.D. She has two decades of law enforcement experience and is one of the most well respected officers on the police force. Parks puts up with Nick's brash over-the-top nature because she knows that when all hell breaks loose, Nick is the only man who consistently delivers. ROSIE An ex-gangbanger turned straight, Rosie Velasquez is one tough cop. Having experienced life on both sides of the law, Rosie knows how to take care of herself. She's just been partnered with Nick Kang, and isn't too happy about hitting the streets with a loose cannon. Rosie is afraid she'll get caught up in the crossfire that constantly surrounds L.A.'s most dangerous detective. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- IV. Shooting Basics ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Hide and hide often. This makes you less of a target for the enemy to hit and may save your life. 2. At the beginning of the game, take your enemies weapons. They are much more powerful than the starting guns, and they have a much higher rate of fire. 3. Use precision aim whenever you need to shoot someone because if you can hit them in the leg or in the arm, you receive a neutralizing shot and you get more cop points than if you just kill them. Whatever you do, DO NOT aim for the head because that lowers your badge points! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ V. Walkthrough ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> CHAPTER I: Triad Violence <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ================================================================================ Mission 1: Shooting Practice Goal: Shoot 10 targets Easy mission, as it should be, just press the R trigger immediately. When the aiming reticule is fully on the target, unload until it is fully destroyed. Repeat ten times and you pass the mission. ================================================================================ Mission 2: Driving to E.O.D. Goal: Race to the chief's office They give you 1:30 to make it to E.O.D. headquarters. This mission is insanely easy. First, turn around 180 degrees and go straight until 6th Street. Turn onto 6th Street and eventually right onto Broadway Street you reach the green dot. ================================================================================ Mission 3: Driving for Chow Goal: Drive to the Chinese restaurant This shouldn't even be considered a mission. There is no time limit, so either upgrade your skills or solve street crimes to earn badge points. When you do want to complete the mission, follow the map to the green arrow on the map. ================================================================================= Mission 4: Triad Muscle Goal: Beat the Triad thug This is the first fight that is mandatory. This should be very easy, as the thug is susceptible to punches, kicks, and jump kicks. Just beat the thug up and when he is stunned, unleash a finishing move to rapidly lower his health. Soon this fight will be over and you'll be victorious. ================================================================================= Mission 5: Rosie Trouble Goal: Kill the thug This can be challenging because he has a much better weapon than you. However, as soon as you can, whip out your guns and fire a full clip at him. After the clip is exhausted, take cover behind a car. When the thug stops shooting, come out guns a blazin' and finish him off. ================================================================================= Mission X: Bonus Cruisin' Goal: Get a free upgrade You have three choices of an upgrade to get, a new car, a new gun, or a new grapple. I recommend getting the new guns so that you deal more damage and you have a larger clip. See the 24/7 Locations and Upgrades sectional for a walkthrough of all the choices. ================================================================================= <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Chapter II: Mean Streets <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ================================================================================= Mission 1: Cruising for Leads Goal: Drive to Cary's dojo This mission is another driving mission that is not really a mission. Just follow the map to the green arrow. ================================================================================= Mission 2: Dojo Attacker Goal: Fight the attacker This is the second fight and is very easy just like the first. This attacker is vulnerable to kicks, punches, and jump kicks. When he is stunned, unleash a finishing move to knock a lot more health out of him. ================================================================================= Mission 3: Red Lantern Rush Goal: Race to the Red Lantern In this mission you get 55 seconds to get to the bar. Take San Pedro Street to Onizuka Street. Then, turn onto 1st Street and then take the turn onto Broadway Street. Finally, go on Temple Street and then to Hill Street, where the bar is. ================================================================================= Mission 4: Bar Brawl Goal: Defeat Feng Just like the battles before this one, just kick and punch and Feng will get stunned eventually. Then, when he is stunned, unleash a finishing move to knock him out faster. ================================================================================= Mission 4: (Alternate) The Arsonist Goal: Shoot Feng's Car This mission is very easy so long as you can shoot well. All you have to do is shoot at Feng's car until he completely stops and gets out of the car. Then, you pass the mission without even leaving your car. ================================================================================= Mission 5: Triad Thug Goal: Capture Feng All you have to do is run down Hill Street and fire at Feng when you have a clean shot. He dies very quickly, but be vigilant of shooting pedestrians and getting casualties. ================================================================================= Mission 6: Driving to Jimmy's Goal: Drive to Jimmy's Just drive to the green arrow on the map to complete this mission. ================================================================================= Mission 7: Sneaking In Goal: Get into the Dynasty Imports Warehouse Run up and press X next to the first guard. Then run and KO the next guard around the corner. Be careful near the glass and go around the left side of the pillar KO the guard there. Head for the ramp and KO the guy to your left. Head up the ramp and run to the door. A guard will come out so KO him and enter the doorway. ================================================================================= Mission 8: Jimmy's Ambush Goal: Pump Jimmy's crew full of lead Kill the first two guys directly in front of you. Jump down where they were and kill the guy near the crate, the pillar, and two on the balconies on both sides of the room. Head near the wood shield on the left and kill the guard near that. There is a medical kit on the pillar if you need it. Kill the four men on the balcony that is on the right. Finally, kill the guard on the balcony to the left. ================================================================================= Mission 9: Finale: Sniper Assassin Goal: Kill the sniper Wait for the sniper to stop moving and then immediately keep firing at him until he moves again. Wait until he stops moving and fire again. Repeat until he is dead. ================================================================================= Mission X: Bonus Cruisin' Goal: Get a free upgrade You have three choices of an upgrade to get, a new car, a new gun, or a new grapple. I recommend again getting the new guns (.45 pistols) so that you deal more damage and you have a larger clip. See the 24/7 Locations and Upgrades sectional for a walkthrough of all the choices. ================================================================================= <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Chapter III: International Ties <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ================================================================================= Mission 1: Off to Chong's Goal: Drive to Chong's place This is another mission where you can upgrade your statistics because there is no time limit and you can take on other crimes from your radio. Get as many upgrades as possible and then drive to the green arrow on the map to complete the mission. ================================================================================= Mission 2: Tailing Chong's Limo Goal: Follow Chong's Limo This mission can be very difficult, so these types of missions are my least favorite. The bar on the right (your tail meter) shows a red bar with a white line under it. Under that bar is a white bar and then another white bar. You want to be in between the two white bars throughout the whole mission. Keep your distance and brake when the ?????? light up at the top. Other than these hints I cannot give any more details, so finish the mission by paying more attention to the tail meter and not the road. ================================================================================= Mission 3: A Stakeout Gone Bad Goal: Escape the pursuing attackers This mission is very fun and can be completed one of two ways. At the beginning of the mission, shoot out the tires of the car chasing you with precision aim and drive away. They will not be able to catch up to you, so mission complete. However, there is a good chance they will blow your car up first, which makes this second way a bit safer. Drive fast with a fast car and make tons of turns. The more turns you make the more they slow down. As long as you can maintain a little bit of speed around the turns, you will burn the attackers and get away. ================================================================================= Mission 4: Driving to Spa Goal: Drive to the spa Solve more street crimes and get upgrades and then drive to the green arrow on the map to complete the mission. ================================================================================= Mission 5: Spa Infiltration Goal: Break into the Russian Spa You begin the mission in a locker room. Run around the corner and quickly press X to knock out the man with a towel on. Stop at the next set of lockers and wait for the guard to turn around. Turn right and KO the guard. Next, run up and KO the waitress ad turn left. KO all 3 men who come from the steam chambers. Walk to the furnace, being careful of the pots on the ground, and KO the guard behind the furnace. Run to the green triangle and you completed the mission. ================================================================================= Mission 5: (Alternate) Russkie Trouble Goal: Beat up the four thugs Try to first separate one of the attackers and kill him. Repeat for all the other 3 thugs. Each thug is susceptible to kicks and punches, so throw in a combo if you want and when they are stunned, throw in a finishing move. It is very difficult to fight more than one at once, so try to separate them as best as possible. ================================================================================= Mission 6: Shower Room Antics Goal: Beat all attackers Try to separate the men as best as possible and fight them one at a time. All 3 of the men can be hit with just kicks and punches and rarely block, so run free. When all three men are defeated, another man in a thong appears from the stall. He is more difficult than the others, so throw combos in to stun him. Lower his health with finishing moves. ================================================================================= Mission 7: Finale: The Accomplice Goal: Shoot the crew of the spa I hope you upgraded your guns because if not this is gonna be one hell of a gunfight. Whip out your guns and directly in front of you are 2 people to waste. Next, 3 men appear to the left of where you started. After those are dead grab their guns and waste the 4 men coming in from the door to the top right of where you started. Now 1 from the left of where you started appears again, followed by 2 from the bottom right of where you started. Again, 1 from the left and 2 from the bottom right of where you started appear. Then, one from the top right appears, followed by 2 from the top left. Finally, 1 comes from the top right corner followed by 2 guards from the top left corner of where you started. After all of these men are wasted, a mini-boss comes in to the fray. Take cover and aim for a neutralizing shot because he has tons of health and that will eliminate him immediately. Whew, you made it! ================================================================================= Mission X: Bonus Cruisin' Goal: Get a free upgrade You have three choices of an upgrade to get, a new car, a new gun, or a new grapple. I recommend again getting the new guns (.50 pistols) so that you will have the most powerful guns at your disposal as well as the largest clip of ammo. See the 24/7 Locations and Upgrades sectional for a walkthrough of all the choices. ================================================================================= <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Chapter IV: Russian Face-Off <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ================================================================================= Mission 1: En Route to Autoshop Goal: Drive to the autoshop You should definitely upgrade and learn most of your gun upgrades as well as your fighting moves. They will come in very handy in the future, and since there is no time limit in this mission, why not try the 24/7 challenges? When you are done follow the green arrow on the map to complete the mission. ================================================================================= Mission 2: Grease Monkeys Goal: Fight the mechanics There are 2 men that you have to beat in this mission. One of them has a wrench, which can do massive damage. Kill them easily with regular punches and kicks. After they are defeated, another grease monkey comes in armed with a wrench. He is a little tougher, so use short combos to stun him and then unleash your most powerful finishing move. ================================================================================= Mission 3: Chasing Francis Goal: Catch Francis Immediately floor the gas to catch up to Francis. When he is on a straight road, use precision aim to shoot the tires out of his car. Or, because he turns a lot, just keep firing at his car until he gets out and surrenders. ================================================================================= Mission 4: Off to the Gulag Goal: Drive to the Gulag Get upgrades and solve more street crimes. When ready follow the green arrow to complete the mission. ================================================================================= Mission 5: Another Way In Goal: Break into the dance club Run up to the guard at the car directly in front of where you begin. Walk up the road and beware of the glass piles and KO guy near the truck. Turn the corner and quickly KO the guard before he turns you in. Walk towards the fence area where there are two guards. Wait for them to come close together. When they begin to leave again, KO one and then run to the other. Run around the corner, watching the glass piles, and KO the guard there. Run toward the green triangle and a guard pops out near that door. KO him and the mission is complete. ================================================================================= Mission 6: Disco Inferno Goal: Kill everyone in the room Whip out your guns and kill the 3 men directly in front of you, taking cover near the railing if you need it. After the first 3 guards are killed, 3 come from the balcony on the left of where you started. After they are dead, 3 come directly to the left of your starting point. 1 more guard comes from the balcony on the left of your starting position, followed by 3 from the top left door under the balcony. Health is in the middle should you need it by now. As you grab health, waste the 2 guards straight ahead in the upper right corner. Finally, 1 guard is on the ceiling. Mission complete. ================================================================================= Mission 6: (Alternate) Alley Brawl Goal: Fight all the bouncers Straight punches or kicks can kill them, but throw in combos for fast kills. When they get stunned, do a finishing move to knock their health down a lot. Try to keep the guys separate and fight them one at a time. ================================================================================= Mission 7: Cary in Trouble Goal: Race to save Cary This mission is very difficult and requires a very fast car. Go with the 03' sports car (earned from the last bonus cruisin' mission) if you have it. If not, take the orange, red, white, or blue car with the spoiler on the back. You have 2:55 to make it to the dojo. Stay on New Hampshire Avenue until you MUST turn left onto San Marino Street. Make a right onto Vermont Street, followed by a left onto Pico Boulevard. Finally, make a left onto San Pedro Street and race up the street to the dojo. ================================================================================= Mission 8: Finale: Vandal Wrath Goal: Fight the three vandals Start by fighting the white guy with the grey uniform. He can be defeated with straight punches and is the easiest to KO. After he is done, move on to the guy without the weapon. He can be easily defeated with only kicks if you really want to. When he is defeated, it is the leader's turn. Throw in quick combos to stun him quickly and then finish him with some finishing moves. ================================================================================= Mission X: Bonus Cruisin' Goal: Get a free upgrade You should have two choices of an upgrade to get, a new car or a new grapple. I recommend getting the new car because I do not use grapples that often. Plus, having a new ride around will make trips faster. See the 24/7 Locations and Upgrades sectional for a walkthrough of all the choices. ================================================================================= <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Chapter V: The Rescue <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ================================================================================= Mission 1: Tailing Suspect Cop Goal: Tail the cop I hate these missions. Try to stay between the two white bars on your tail meter on the top right corner of the screen. This is a very long tailing mission and involves many turns. Eventually you will complete it and it leads you to the next mission. ================================================================================= Mission 2: Bum Encounter Goal: Fight the bums Start by fighting the guy with the broken bottle in his hand. He can be defeated with straight punches and kicks and is fairly easy to kill. After he is done, move on to the other guy without the weapon. He can be defeated with punches or kicks. Watch out for the stove, because if you hit it you lose tons of health. Other than that, these two bums are fairly easy. When they are defeated, another bum comes out to fight you. It (can't tell if it is a man or a woman) is vicious and attacks with a slap-like attack. It will take a good combo to get her stunned. When she is stunned, make sure you get a finishing move on to lower her health very fast. Eventually she will drop and you will win. ================================================================================= Mission 3: Meeting Rafferty Goal: Meet Rafferty Upgrade your fighting skills and get the gun upgrades and then follow the map to the green arrow. The mission is complete when you enter the circle. ================================================================================= Mission 3: (Alternate) The Peking Duck Goal: Drive to the location Continue to upgrade and then drive to the green arrow on the map to complete the mission. ================================================================================= Mission 4: Butcher Shop Rush Goal: Rush to the butcher shop You have 2:15 to get to the butcher shop. Take Crenshaw Boulevard and then turn right onto Pico Boulevard. Eventually make the left onto Hoover Street and then a right onto Olympic Boulevard. This will lead you directly to the green circle to complete the mission. ================================================================================= Mission 5: On the Chopping Block Goal: Fight the butchers Fight the butcher with the axe first. Only take on 1 at a time since they are deadly with their weapons. Punch the guy with the axes and he will fall pretty easily. Then use punches or kicks to attack the guys with the knives. Again, these guys are fairly easy to defeat. Now it gets harder as three more men rush you at once. Use quick combos to stun the guys, one at a time, and then use finishing moves to finish them off. Once they are all dead, one final guy attacks you. He is vulnerable to combos that are quick. Eventually you will stun him. Use your most powerful finishing move to lower his health. When he drops you pass the mission. ================================================================================= Mission 6: Slaughterhouse Goal: Kill the butchers As you begin this mission, whip out your guns and fire at the guy directly in front of you. Eventually 2 men will come in on the screen via the meat conveyor belt. After they are wasted, go to the door near the conveyor belt and kill the guy near the door. Go through and kill the 2 guards near the big meat basket. Walk near the next basket and kill yet another butcher. Walk into the door and take note of the medical kit on the wall if you need it. Kill the butcher near the door. A guard will come just as you near the conveyor belt. Waste him and the 3 on the conveyor belt. Finally, kill the 3 butchers ambushing you from the door with the green triangle. Run into it to complete the mission. ================================================================================= Mission 7: Finale: The Great Escape Goal: Escape the attackers You have to evade these attackers in a slow pick-up truck. At first they fire and pump your car full of lead, so drive as fast as possible to rid of the first car. When you are free of the gunfire, keep making turns to lose the second car. The more turns you make the faster you lose them. I DO NOT recommend shooting back at them as they have high power rifles with a huge rate of fire that tear the pick-up apart. ================================================================================= Mission X: Bonus Cruisin' Goal: Get a free upgrade You should have two choices of an upgrade to get, a new car or a new grapple. I recommend getting the second new car because I do not use grapples that often. Plus, having a new ride around will make the trips even faster than with the first and second car. See the 24/7 Locations and Upgrades sectional for a walkthrough of all the choices. ================================================================================= <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Chapter VI: House of Wu <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ================================================================================= Mission 1: Off to Wu's Place Goal: Drive to Wu's You should have ALL of the gun upgrades for this chapter and those beyond. The hollow point ammo does a lot of damage and saves tons of time and frustration. Also, I recommend learning every dragon finishing move to help defeat some people in this chapter. When you are done upgrading, drive to the green arrow on the map to complete this mission. ================================================================================= Mission 2: Up the Food Chain Goal: Gain access into the restaurant This mission is filled with surprises around every corner to beware of. Start out by walking and KOing the guard directly through the door. Turn right and KO the guard there as well. Turn left and KO yet another guard. Go straight towards the back of this next room and then KO the guard when you see him. Turn to your right and KO the waiter that comes into the area where you are. Finally, KO the guard near the green triangle and enter it to pass the mission. ================================================================================= Mission 3: Kitchen Inspection Goal: Fight all the cooks You start out having to fight 3 chefs. Use quick combos to knock them silly and then use a dragon finishing move to knock their health down quickly. After you defeat all the chefs, 2 more enter with swords. Defeat them again with combos while keeping them from both attacking you at once. Once they too have been vanquished, a zombie enters. Kick the zombie into the stove into it explodes. The zombie cannot be harmed from regular attacks, so you must keep hitting it into the fire of the stove. When he drops the mission is over. ================================================================================= Mission 4: Seeking Ancient Wu Goal: Go through the dungeon to find WU I suggest having at least the flashlight upgrade for your gun because it is kind of dark in the dungeon. Also, hollow point ammo helps to kill things much quicker than with the regular ammo. Now this game was awesome until they had to throw in the zombie crap. This makes the game very unrealistic. Anyway, begin by going straight until you see a zombie appear. Kill it and then go to the direction where it came from. Keep wasting any zombies that appear on your way to the first intersection. Here, turn left and kill the zombie that appears. When you can turn go right and straight for a little bit. Eventually, 2 zombies appear when you turn to the right. Kill them and then continue straight to kill yet another zombie. Straight again and then keep going until you see the green triangle. Approach it slowly and waste all 6 zombies that come to greet you. Yes, 6 zombies come after you. After they are dead run to the green triangle because 3 more zombies come. If you are quick enough you can make it to the triangle and not have to fight the last 3 zombies. ================================================================================= Mission 4: (Alternate) Tunnel Vision Goal: Make it to the end of the tunnel This mission is relatively easy to complete. There is no real way to describe how to beat this level, but he it goes. RUN, RUN, RUN as fast as you can. Run and shoot the zombies that are in your way. Do not stop because a large spike follows behind you. Just keep firing at the zombies and keep running until you reach the stairs. ================================================================================= Mission 5: Inner Demons Goal: Shoot the demon heads This mission is very long if you do not have the hollow point ammo so I recommend getting that upgrade before this mission. When you begin the mission has 3 demon heads. Shoot them and when they all line up in a row, be ready to jump out of the way so they do not hurt you. After all three are killed, 4 more come out. Kill these the same way as the previous three. After they are dead 5 new ones appear. Kill all of these and then 1 "boss demon head," for lack of a better term, comes out. Keep shooting him and use the same techniques as the other demon heads. When the final head drops the mission is over. ================================================================================= Mission 6: Die Die My Concubine Goal: Kill the 2 demon women This is where having all the dragon finishing combos will come in handy. These two demon women are on fire and are difficult to defeat without the finishing combos, so do not even bother without them. The demon women are surrounded by something like fire, so DO NOT USE GRAPPLES! Use quick punch and kick combos to get them stunned and either use finishing combos to quickly lower their health or try to knock them into the fire. When near the edge of the ring, however, the demon women can vanish and then reappear in the center of the ring. Eventually both will fall and you'll have a short time to rest your fingers during the cinema for the next battle. ================================================================================= Mission 7: Finale: Nightmare Goal: Kill the dragon The dragon goes around in a counter-clockwise circle around the ring that you are in. Keep firing at it until it brings its head from the lava. Shoot for a second or two and then run from his fire breath. After the dragon breath, the dragon falls back into the lava and smashes his tail into the ground, so be careful of that. Eventually he will fall and you will be done with this chapter. ================================================================================= Mission X: Bonus Cruisin' Goal: Get a free upgrade You should have two choices of an upgrade to get, a new car or a new grapple. I recommend getting the final sports car because, once again, I do not use grapples that often. See the 24/7 Locations and Upgrades sectional for a walkthrough of all the choices. ================================================================================= <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Chapter VII: Finding Rocky <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ================================================================================= Mission 1: In the Driver's Seat Goal: Drive to the bar By now you should have all of the gun upgrades and all of the finishing moves. If you do not, you should get all of them now. When you are ready, follow the map to the green arrow to complete the mission. ================================================================================= Mission 2: Pressing Rafferty Goal: Fight the bar keeper This bar keeper can be defeated with quick combos of punches and kicks. When you finally get him stunned, use your dragon finishing moves to quickly lower his health. Eventually he will drop and you will move on to the next mission. ================================================================================= Mission 3: On Rafferty's Tail Goal: Tail Rafferty's car This mission is also very long and boring. Try to keep between the two white bars on the tail meter. After a long tail, you complete this mission. ================================================================================= Mission 3: (Alternate) FBI Goons Goal: Fight the 2 FBI agents Each FBI agent has a taser. Keep the two separated so you can fight only one at a time. Use combos of punches and kicks to stun him and then unleash one of your finishing moves. After one drops, defeat the other the same way as the first. ================================================================================= Mission 4: Escaping the Feds Goal: Escape the pursuing federal agents Take off immediately and make as many turns as possible at as high a speed as possible to lose the agents. You can try to shoot out their tires, however, they ripped my car apart with their assault weapons. ================================================================================= Mission 5: Rafferty's Date Goal: Tail Rafferty's car Once again stay between the two white bars on the tail meter. Eventually you will make it to the end of this long mission. Be aware of the fact that Rafferty also has a decent car that has good speed, so don't lose him. ================================================================================= Mission 6: Eavesdropping Goal: Break into the warehouse Start out by turning around the corner and KO the guard there. Left of the crates is another guard to KO. Turn right and head to the huge silver doors. Turn left at them and KO the approaching guard. Move to where the guard was and avoid the large orange cans (sewage cans?). KO the guard just beyond them and then go around the corner and go right. KO the guard and then again go right and there is a guard to the right. After KOiing the guard, head towards the green triangle but stop near the large protrusion of crates. Eventually a guard will appear so KO him and head up where he was. When you come near the end of the protrusion of the crates, turn left and KO the guard who is smoking. Go into the green triangle and you complete the mission. ================================================================================= Mission 7: Finale: Father's Killer Goal: Kill all of Rocky's men This is a huge gunfight, so your fully upgraded guns will come in handy. Just keep on firing at everyone on the ground and your balcony. Take cover near the pillar when you need to and keep your guns a blazin'. Watch for the sneaky man at the end who appears to the left of where you are. ================================================================================= Mission X: Bonus Cruisin' Goal: Get a free upgrade You should only have one choice of an upgrade to get, a new grapple. See the 24/7 Locations and Upgrades sectional for a walkthrough of the dojo. ================================================================================= <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Chapter VIII: Retribution <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ================================================================================= Mission 1: The Girlfriend Angle Goal: Tail Rocky's girlfriend Stay within the two white bars of the tail meter, as always. Eventually this will be over and you can progress towards the end of the game. ================================================================================= Mission 2: Back to the Gulag Goal: Race back to the Gulag Take the road you are on, Sunset Boulevard, all the way to the Gulag. Easy mission. ================================================================================= Mission 3: Rocky's Trap Goal: Fight Rocky's men Keep 2 of the 3 of Rocky's men away so you can fight one at a time. Use combos of punches and kicks to stun them and then unleash the dragon finishing moves on them to lower their health rapidly. Sometimes when they are down they can be stomped on with A if you are quick enough. ================================================================================= Mission 3: (Alternate) Chopper Ambush Goal: Blow up the helicopter As soon as the aiming reticule hits the helicopter, fire away. Don't let up on your trigger finger and soon the helicopter is a huge fireball. ================================================================================= Mission 4: Driving to the Airport Goal: Drive to the airport Follow the map to the green arrow to complete the mission. ================================================================================= Mission 5: Hangar Showdown Goal: Shoot the commandos Just keep on firing at the commandoes and make it to the end of the mission. There are two health packs on the walls to use when you need them. Also, watch out for the 3 man ambush at the end near the green triangle. ================================================================================= Mission 6: Jetting Away Goal: Destroy General Kim's plane This mission is fairly easy as long as you do not run into any of the planes that appear on the runway as General Kim tries to make his escape. Keep firing at the jet until it blows up. This takes a long time, but it is pretty easy to do. Prepare for the final battle. ================================================================================= Mission 7: Finale: Puppet Master Goal: Fight General Kim This is the toughest mission in the game, as it should be. Defeating General Kim will yield you the best ending to the game. Start by moving in and unleashing a quick punch and kick combo and immediately back off. Keep up this hit-and-run tactic until he drops. During the fight you MUST block (white button) in order to survive. General Kim has nasty combos that will level you very fast if you do not block them. Also, stay away from the fire because it hurts you and not the General. This mission is very hard and my flailing technique will take some time to work. It took my many tries to complete this mission and it you will probably lose more times than you win with this technique. If you can defeat General Kim, the "best" ending of the game is unlocked. ================================================================================= ALTERNATE STRATEGY ================================================================================= This is an alternate strategy for Finale: Puppet Master and created by Levihopper. When facing General Kim simply stand in the center of the ring of fire and DON'T move your character unless to face General Kim. Kim will slowly approach you, and as he does, grapple him. 1/2 the time he will block the grapple and the other half you will drop him. This strategy is much better than the flail technique because once your timing is right General Kim will not be able to hit you often except when he counters the grapple and bites you. ================================================================================= <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Alternate Chapter IV: Con Girls <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ================================================================================= Mission 1: Strip Club Detour Goal: Drive to the strip club By now you should have all of the finishing moves. If you do not, you should get all of them now. When you are ready, follow the map to the green arrow to complete the mission. ================================================================================= Mission 2: Cat Fight Goal: Fight all the strippers There are 6 strippers to take care of. This is very easy because all you have to do is use punches or kicks in a combo to get them stunned and then use your dragon finishing moves to kill them quickly. After all 6 are gone, a man comes to join the fray. He is even easier than the strippers, so just knock him out to pass the mission. ================================================================================= Mission 3: Cruising for Lola Goal: Drive to the arrow Follow the map to the green arrow to complete the mission. ================================================================================= Mission 3: (Alternate) Lola Rush Goal: Drive to Lola Immediately turn around and turn left onto Oxford Street. When the turn comes up, turn right onto Melrose Street and follow the road to the green arrow. ================================================================================= Mission 4: The Driving Test Goal: Race to the green arrow Take Burnside to Metropolitan to Cursan and then to Colgate. Then turn right onto Ogden and left onto 3rd Street. Finally turn right onto La Cienega and head to the green arrow. Mission complete. ================================================================================= Mission 5: Police Getaway Goal: Escape the police Immediately speed up and slam on the brakes to make the cops fly ahead of you. When they are in front of you, aim for their tires. Now drive down the street and you should be clear of the cops who cannot get enough speed to catch you. ================================================================================= Mission 5: (Alternate) Five Laps Goal: Beat Lola around the course I recommend getting a fairly fast car for this mission. Peel-out at the beginning of the race. When you catch up to Lola, spin her out of control. Or, if you have a fast enough car, just burn her the whole race. This is easy as long as you do not get stuck on the obstacles. ================================================================================= Mission 6: Busting Lola Goal: Fight Lola This is a fun fight so long as you have all your finishing moves. Keep doing quick punch and kick combos to get her stunned. When she is stunned, use a finishing move to knock some of her health down. Repeat this for the whole time until she drops. Be careful of her cartwheel attack. When you see her take a few steps back keep kicking to knock her out of her cartwheel. This attack immediately knocks you down and she keeps doing it until you counter it. ================================================================================= Mission 7: Finale: Sniper Redux Goal: Kill the sniper Fire at the sniper as soon as the mission starts. When you hit him he will move to another window, so only attack when he is still. This mission is very easy if you have hollow point ammo. It will only take two shots to kill the sniper with the hollow point ammo, so get that upgrade if you do not already have it. ================================================================================= Mission X: Bonus Cruisin' Goal: Get a free upgrade You should only have one choice of an upgrade to get, a new grapple. See the 24/7 Locations and Upgrades sectional for a walkthrough of the dojo. ================================================================================= <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Alternate Chapter V: High-Rise Terror <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ================================================================================= Mission 1: The Airport Lead Goal: Drive to the airport Drive to the green arrow on the map to complete the mission. ================================================================================= Mission 2: Chasing Assassins Goal: Catch the assassins truck Catch up to the truck with the assassins in it and fire at the back to kill the men who are hanging out the back to kill you. Once these men are killed, keep firing at the truck until it explodes and the driver comes out with his hands up. Mission complete. ================================================================================= Mission 3: A Race Downtown Goal: Drive to the arrow Have a fast car before you begin this mission. When the mission starts, immediately turn around and take the exit that is to the left (that was originally behind you). Then get onto Union Avenue and eventually turn right onto 7th Street. Finally, make a left onto Grand Street and drive straight to the green blip on the map. ================================================================================= Mission 4: Bank Standoff Goal: Make it to the entrance of the bank There are a total of 10 men to kill here. Take cover behind the cop cars for these men and then approach the bank entrance for the last 2 terrorists. The last terrorist that comes out of the bank entrance has a hostage, so be careful not to shoot the hostage. ================================================================================= Mission 5: Lobby Firefight Goal: Kill all the terrorists This mission has about 13 or so terrorists to kill, plus 4 that are behind the teller windows that are on each side of the room. Kill all the men until you hear a thump sound of the grenade launcher. Find out where it came from and then shoot the silver opening of the teller window to kill the guard behind it. Keep shooting and killing until all four waves are done and all four men are dead behind the teller windows. ================================================================================= Mission 5: (Alternate) Going Up Goal: Make it up three floors This mission is not that difficult, although some terrorists can do some heavy damage with their weapons. It is hard to give a walkthrough of this mission so just keep walking and shooting everything that comes into your aiming reticule. When you find the steps there is the way up and a health pack. You must clear out three levels loaded with these heavily-armed terrorists. ================================================================================= Mission 6: Hostage Crisis Goal: Make it to the office This mission is very hard because of the massive amounts of guards as well as all the hostages that get in the way. Start out and turn right, where 1 guard awaits his death from you. Walk into the office section and past the first set of cubicles. To the right is a hostage with a terrorist. A good way to kill the terrorist and not the hostage is by using slow-mo dive. Along with all the gun upgrades you can kill the guard, not get shot, and save the hostage. Anyway, go where the guard and hostage were and as far right as possible. Eventually a guard will fire at you with another hostage. Slow-mo dive and kill him. There is a med kit on the wall if you need it. Proceed to the door where 3 terrorists come to try to kill you. Waste them and proceed into the hallway. Here 2 more terrorists await your bullets. Turn right and 2 more guards try to kill you, but get killed themselves. Enter the office space and kill 2 more guards. Directly ahead is a med kit on the wall for you to grab. Right of that kit is a terrorist with a hostage. Kill him and then go right and then straight. Be careful and kill the 2 guards that are above the cubicles. Go right again and kill the guard with a hostage. There is a med kit here. Take it and go left where another hostage is. Head to the door where 3 guards greet you. Waste them and proceed into the hallway. Here 2 more guards greet you. Keep going and 3 guards attack you (2 have hostages). Keep firing and killing until you see the elevator with 3 guards and 2 hostages. When you complete this mission you should have many badge points and a decent good cop rating from all the terrorists you killed and hostages you saved. ================================================================================= Mission 7: Finale: Bad Politics Goal: Fight General Kim This fight is no where near as hard as it is in Chapter VIII, however, General Kim is still no pushover. Use quick punch and kick combos and then back off. Keep whittling away at his health using this technique. Also, block his combos after you have been hit by pressing the white button. Finally, avoid his grapples that he loves to throw in over and over again. After he is defeated, you unlock a movie and the "poor" ending. ================================================================================= <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Alternate Chapter VI: Rampage <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ================================================================================= Mission 1: Revenge Rush Goal: Race back to the Gulag You start on La Cienega Street. Take a right turn onto Sunset Boulevard when it comes up and you made it with plenty of time to spare. ================================================================================= Mission 2: Rocky's Getaway Goal: Chase Rocky Shoot at Rocky's car until he stops. Mission complete. ================================================================================= Mission 2: (Alternate) Gulag Goons Goal: Fight Rocky's men Use combos and finishing moves to kill these 3 people. The man in the Puma outfit is the hardest to KO, so do him first. ================================================================================= Mission 3: The Bodyguard Goal: Fight the bodyguard Use quick combos to stun the big man and then unleash your dragon finishing moves to knock his health down quickly. Repeat until he is dead. ================================================================================= Mission 4: Wu's Turn Goal: Drive to Wu's Drive to the green arrow on the map to complete the mission. ================================================================================= Mission 5: Payback Goal: Kill everyone This mission consists of shooting at and killing 11 men and women. Make it through the gunfire to the green triangle to advance. ================================================================================= Mission 6: Off to the Airport Goal: Make it to the airport Drive to the green blip on the map to pass this mission. ================================================================================= Mission 7: Finale: Rocky's Loot Goal: Steal the armored truck full of money This is incredibly easy. Immediately step on the gas and then slam on the brakes to make the pursuing car go ahead of you. Immediately fire at the pursuing car until it explodes. Drive up the street to pass the mission. ================================================================================= Mission X: Bonus Cruisin' Goal: Get a free upgrade This is your last grapple move! See the 24/7 Locations and Upgrades sectional for a walkthrough of the dojo. ================================================================================= <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Alternate Chapter VII: Blood Money <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ================================================================================= Mission 1: Race to Rocky's Lair Goal: Make it to Rocky's Immediately turn around and stay on Halt Avenue. Make a left onto Sawyer Street when the turn comes and then a left on Hayworth Street. ================================================================================= Mission 2: Kinks in the Path Goal: Sneak in to Rocky's mansion Walk straight to the statue of the dog. Turn right and KO the waitress. Turn left and then KO the man and proceed left again. KO the waitress and then go straight until you can turn right. Turn left and KO guy and go right and KO guy asleep on the chair. Turn and run past the roped off rooms with the women in them and BE VERY CAREFUL OF THE THINGS ON THE GROUND. There are two men asleep on chairs and if you touch the boxes on the ground they will awaken and catch you. After that, turn left and KO the final guard. Mission complete. ================================================================================= Mission 3: Freak Show Goal: Fight all the freaks The 3 bondage chicks in this mission are a lot harder than the second part of this mission. Use combos to stun them and then use a finishing move to lower their health. Repeat until all are dead. After they disappear, 6 men come in to try to kill you. They are very easy, easier than the women, so destroy them all to pass the mission. ================================================================================= Mission 4: Rosie's Ransom Goal: Drive to the green blip on map Drive to the green arrow on the map to complete this mission. ================================================================================= Mission 5: Escaping Masterson Goal: Escape the FBI agent Immediately turn around and fire at the FBI cars. You are damn near invincible with the armored car, so destroy the cars and then drive up the street to pass the mission. ================================================================================= Mission 6: Chinatown Showdown Goal: Kill all the commandoes There are about 27 guards to take care of in this mission. Using the Armored car as cover, kill everyone that stands in your path. There is a health pack on the pole when you need it. ================================================================================= Mission 7: Finale: Last Stand Goal: Kill Rocky Use quick combos to try to get Rocky stunned. I emphasize "try" to get Rocky stunned because he throws dirt in your eyes when he begins to lose. Just keep beating him up and eventually he will drop. An ending movie ensues and you get the "average" ending. Hooray, you just beat the entire game! ================================================================================= <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> 24/7 Locations and Upgrades <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ........................................................................................... ........................................................................................... Shooting Ranges Locations: Downtown: Olive Street, Central Street, 6th Street, Temple Street, Hill Street, 2nd Street, Main Street, Los Angeles Street, Lincoln Avenue, Figueroa Street Beverly Hills: La Cienega Boulevard Hollywood: Vine Street ================================================================================ Upgrade 1: Dual-Target Aim Goal: Destroy 8 targets Avoid civilian targets (3) This is very easy. As soon as this starts, fire away at every target. You should not have any problem destroying 8 targets. ================================================================================ Upgrade 2: Aim Assistance Goal: Achieve 7 neutralizing shots Avoid civilian targets (3) As soon as the mission begins, go into precision aim mode. If you noticed everything will seem like it is in slow-motion, that's because it is. Aim assistance slows what is happening so that you can get a clearer shot. This is only temporary, however, so after every shot you must reload and then re-enter precision aim mode to slow down the time again. Aim for the green circles on the targets that are located on the arms, legs, and groin area. ================================================================================ Upgrade 3: Fast Reload Goal: Neutralize or destroy 10 targets Avoid civilian targets (1) Avoid head shots There are a total of 12 targets in this mission, so there is slight room for error. I recommend getting all neutralizing shots by using the precision time mode's slow-mo shots. This is a lot easier than firing to destroy the targets and lowers the chances that you will hit the head or a civilian target. ================================================================================ Upgrade 4: Fast Aim Speed Goal: Neutralize or destroy 12 targets Avoid civilian targets Avoid head shots This mission is easiest to do using precision aim mode's slow-mo shots. This will allow you to hit every target and give you time to aim and not hit any civilian targets. ================================================================================ Upgrade 5: Laser Sight Goal: Neutralize 10 targets Avoid civilian targets Avoid head shots Use the precision aim mode to slow down the time to give you a better shot. After you neutralize one target reload and then re-enter precision aim mode so that you slow down time again to make an easy shot again. There are 12 targets, so you have some room for error. ================================================================================ Upgrade 6: Flashlight Goal: Neutralize or destroy 10 targets Avoid civilian targets Avoid head shots This mission is completed easily in auto-aim mode. As soon as your aiming reticule lands on a target and no civilian targets are present, blast away. The only time you have to be careful is when civilian targets pop up right in front of you followed by regular targets. There are 12 targets, so you have some room for error. ================================================================================ Upgrade 7: Scope Goal: Perform 10 head shots Avoid civilian targets There are 13 targets, so you can miss 3. ALWAYS use precision aim mode and after every shot reload and re-enter precision aim mode. ================================================================================ Upgrade 8: Top Accuracy Goal: Neutralize or destroy 12 targets Achieve 50% accuracy Avoid civilian targets This mission, like most of the other missions, should only be done in precision aim mode. Aim for the neutralizing shot and then reload and re-enter precision aim mode so that time slows again. ================================================================================ Upgrade 9: Hollow point ammo Goal: Neutralize or destroy 15 targets Avoid civilian targets Avoid head shots This is very hard to complete and will take you a few tries to master. ALWAYS use precision aim mode to keep the targets moving slow for a better shot. Also, a good rule-of-thumb is to aim just ahead of the target so that you can hit it right in the arm for a neutralizing shot. This ammo does double the damage and only takes one or two shots to kill someone. ================================================================================ ................................................................................ ................................................................................
