-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===============================================================================
My very first game walkthrough, and I chose this game for it to be my very
first game walkthrough. Why? Probably because of the way this game intrigues me
and seems pretty simple enough to do as a first FAQ/Walkthrough. Anyways, I'll
try to add strategies that help you out since I was able to finish this game
within a couple of days from obtaining the game. Though this game was short for
me, doesn't mean it can't be long and doesn't mean its BORING.
If you're thinking about buying this game or something, here is a quick
Non Spoiler Summary about this game. (Summary from the Back of the Case)
"Hell has been unleased on the City of Angels by merciless gangs. The only
hope to restore order is an out of control ex-cop whose unconventional methods
leave him rejected by the police and feared by criminals. Drive, fight and
shoot your way through 240 square miles of L.A. and a branching storyline where
you never have to repeat the same mission twice."
Anyways, its fun, and I'll stop talking so much bullcrap about what I
think. Lets get on with it.
===============================================================================
**************************** 2.0 CHARACTERS ********************************
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===============================================================================
Here are the main characters in the game.
(FROM GAME MANUAL)
"Who's Who in the E.O.D.(Elite Operations Division)
NICK KANG:
Although he was recently suspended indefinitely from the police force due
to repeated incidents of excessive violence and property dmage, 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-frst-firearms and drive
like a Hollywood stuntman.
THE CHIEF:
Chief of Detectives, Wanda Parks, is 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 and 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- and
rightly so.

***************************** 2.2 GAME SCREEN ******************************
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===============================================================================
In this section, will label all the info about whats on your game screen
and where its at while you're on the streets of L.A.
-------------------
CAR ICON-
-------------------
The car icon is on the upper left corner of the screen. You can tell
since it looks like a car. The red on the car will show the amount of damage on
that part of the car. When the Icon is flashing red, you either drive real
carefully, ditch the car, or let it blow you up.
--------------------
ENEMY CAR ICON-
--------------------
This is located on the upper right corner of your screen. It works the same way
as your car meter. Make the car is targeted so it appears on your screen.
-----------------------------
REWARD POINTS AND BADGES-
-----------------------------
This is located on the bottom right corner of your screen. depending on your
actions, will affect your reward points and badges. For every 100 reward points
you get, you get a badge. The badges are used at 24/7 facilities to upgrade
your skills. If you're good and put the criminals in their place, you get
reward points. If you're careless and harm civilians, say bye bye to the badges
and reward points. The reward points are also needed to use Pharmacies or Gas
Stations.
---------------------
GOOD/BAD METER-
---------------------
This is located on the bottom right corner of the screen next to the Reward
points and badges. Depending on your actions again, will determine if your
a good cop or bad cop. If your a good cop, you'll have to put the criminals
back to their rightful place for being really stupid. If your a bad cop, go
crazy and kill civilians and be as reckless as possible. Check the
Good Cop/Bad Cop section for more info.
-----------------
TAIL METER-
-----------------
This appears on the right side of the screen under the enemy car icon. This
appears only on certain missions. This meter is split into three sections:
Bottom Section- You're too far, catch up to your target
Middle Section- You're just at the right distance
Top Section(Red)- Slow down or they'll notice your there
If you're to close for to long, the suspect will get away and you'll eventually
lose. If you're to far away from the suspect for to long, you'll lose them and
and lose the mission.
------------------
SPOOK METER-
------------------
This is located on the top right corner. This meter only appears with Tailing
missions or Stealth missions. In tailing missions, if you're to close, you'll
have a certain amount of time until the meter fills up and they discover you.
In Stealth missions, you'll have a certain amount of time to take cover if
you're in plain site of your enemy before they discover you. They're question
Marks if you were wondering what the hell they look liked.
-----------------------
NICK'S HEALTH BAR-
-----------------------
This appears on the top left corner. Its in ( shape, so its not hard to miss.
A full white bar, indicates 100% health. When it increases in a red bar,
you're getting injured and hurt. Once its fully red, your fully dead(or K'Oed).
----------------------
ENEMY HEALTH BAR-
----------------------
When you're engaged in a fight with an enemy or targeted onto them, the bar
will appear on the top right corner. It works the same way as your health bar,
but its good when theirs fills up to red. When you're surrounded by multiple
enemies, they'll line up going down from the top right.
-----------------------
CIVIL UNREST METER-
-----------------------
This meter is found on the bottom right corner between the badge and the good/
bad cop meter. This only happens when your choices, are bad choices. When you
get bad cop, you'll end up getting this message flashed in front of you. When
you continue being a bad cop, the more that civilians will turn on you. Then
you'll be hit up with drive bys. When the meter is filled, watch out for the
Cops and Swat Teams.
-------------
TIMER-
-------------
This is located right in the middle on the bottom of the screen. This only
appears in certain missions also. You'll have to race against the coutdown and
get to your destined location before time runs out.
-----------------------
STREET INDICATOR-
-----------------------
On the top of the screen. Tells you what street your on.
---------------
MINI MAP-
---------------
Its on the bottom right of the screen. There are certain symbols on this map
that you'll see while you're roaming the streets.
1. Green Arrow/Dot- Your next mission destination in the story line
2. Tiny Red Square- The location of the a crime in progress
3. Large Red Dot- The location of an enemy car that you're chasing or tailing
4. Yellow Gas Pump- These lead to repair stations where you can fix your car up
5. Yellow Cross- These lead to the Pharmacies where you can heal yourself
6. Yellow Parking Lot- Drive/Run into these to heal yourself for free and get
a car that you have unlocked.
7. Blue Target Icon- Practice your gunplay to gain upgrades. They're open
24/7
8. Blue Barbell Icon- Practice on your martial arts to gain new karate moves.
They're open 24/7
9.Blue Car Icon- Practice your driving skills to gain new driving
upgrades. They're open 24/7
That should be it for the game screen.
===============================================================================
*************************** 2.3 BASIC MOVES *******************************
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===============================================================================
In this section, I will point out some of the basic moves that will keep
you alive during your quest to bust the criminals that get in your way.
=======================
HAND TO HAND COMBAT
=======================
When you decide to take out your enemy in hand to hand battle, you'll need to
use a series of punches and kicks to help you survive. Use certain punch and
kick combos to keep your opponent guessing your actions. While punching, make
sure that you're ready to block by pressing the opposite direction of your
enemy.
If you notice on your opponent's bar, on the left of them, you'll see at least
3 to 6 exclamation points. The more you hit them with regular attacks, the
lower they decrease. Once take away all the exclamation points, they'll be
stunned, giving you a chance to enter a series of commands to pull off a
finishing combo to do heavy damage. Make sure you enter them quickly or they'll
turn into a normal weak attack. Be sure to memorize the commands during
battle. Here are some of the beginning combos you get.
Y,A Buttons= "Jumping Monkey"
A,B Buttons= "Monkey Paw" Punch
B,Y Buttons= "Monkey Kick"
Also note, that the exclamation points DO recover after a while if you don't
do any damage to your opponent. To gain more combos, particpate and complete
the 24/7 Martial arts gyms.
During fights, you also grapple opponents, and opponents can grapple you. When
you grapple an opponent, press X button to grapple and/or another attack
button(s) at the same time to activate various grapple moves. If an opponent
grapples you, press X button(sometimes you'll have to chain with others) to
release yourself from the grapple. Its best to grapple when your opponent is
stunned so that they don't reverse the grapples on you.
You can also do running attacks also, but you'll have to keep a distance from
your opponent so you're not locked on to him. Just run and press one of the
punch or kick buttons to complete them. In order to do these when you're in
"Fighting Mode"(pressing "Left" on the Ctrl Pad, or certain missions), you'll
have to earn these attacks in 24/7 Martial arts gyms.
Also, pay attention to your opponent's stances. Though I don't find this tip
really helpful on regular thugs, it does serve useful for the major one on one
fights. When there stance is high, do low kicks and punches. When there stance
is low, do high kicks and some punches. You can tell by their stance, if their
hands/arms are pointing high up, its a high stance. When they're bent down or
lowered in some way, their in a low stance. Though this doesn't ALWAYS succeed,
its still useful against major boss fights(one of a kind criminals that you
don't see out on the streets).
=======================
SHOOTOUTS
=======================
On the streets, you're recommended to bring in suspects without resorting to
deadly force. But of course, if they're not willing to cooperate, you always
have 2 little "friends" by your side. When needed, pull out your guns, take
cover and fire back. When you're fighting multiple targets, you can use the
C stick to take advantage against multiple targets to take them out quicker
in fire fights. Its best to use the C stick and plan who you'll take out when
you're taking cover.
In fire fights, make sure you take cover behind an object or wall to reduce
getting hit. Hold B button to duck down or flatten yourself against a wall.
When they're busy reloading, quickly press R button and fire back. Be sure you
pay attention to your ammo that is by your health on the top left of the
screen. Press Z if you need to reload.
But of course, if you're in plain site view in a fire fight and need to get to
cover, use rolling to take advantage of not getting hit. Use the Y button and
press the direction your heading to roll to where you need to and take cover.
If you need to, you can do it Matrix style and hold Y button and direction
your heading to jump sideways while your shooting. You can also hold Y button
and do a dive while your shooting to avoid bullets while they get hit by
bullets.
There are times when you need to use precision targeting(sorta like a sniper
target mode) to take out your opponent quick and fast. Some of these times
would be: Hostage situations, Hitting small targets, Neuteralizing enemies,
Quick kills, accurate shootings, disabling cars, and anything else that is
hard to hit. You will be using Precision targeting a lot on car chases where
you have to disable a car. Best advice for disabling a car, take out the
wheels to slow it down. When using Precision targeting to neuteralize
enemies, hit the leg or the arms to nuetralize them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: When using Precision targeting, when aim at a certain part of the target,
a certain color changes in the scope. When it turns green, it means that you
can neutralize them. When it turns red, it means its a fatal shot. When its
yellow, it means its just a normal hit. Only neutralizing and fatal shots can
take out a enemy in one bullet. Only difference is, that it usually determines
on your Good Cop/Bad Cop rating. Neutralizing= Good, Fatal= Bad. From what I
know, you can't neutralize enemies until you get a certain upgrade where you're
able to neutralize.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During car chases while your hunting down your target, make sure your on the
side of them and shoot when necessary to avoid hitting civilians also. Be sure
to disable the tires to slow down the car til they decide to give up and ditch
there car.
=======================
STEALTH
=======================
In certain missions, you get to be stealthy. Of course, the only movement
available, is just creeping(no running), and rolling. You'll need to check
many corners of areas by sticking to the wall and moving the camera to see your
enemies movements. When its clear, get out and follow them to do one of the 2
actions: Stun them= Good Cop, Deadly Attack= Bad Cop.
Just note, that some places, you might not be able to get away in time or not
able to approach your enemy. In whatever case that is, you can always press R
to tranquilize them to knock them out.
Also, pay VERY close attention to the ground also. Sometimes, there are objects
that you can "accidently" run into and trigger an enemy. When this happens,
your choice is to most likely to tranq. them. If you can, dive off for cover.
Remember that if a guard spots you, you have a limited amount of time(pay
attention to the Spook meter) to knock him out before the alarm is raised and
you're caught.
===============================================================================
*************************** 2.4 GOOD COP/BAD COP ***************************
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===============================================================================
In this section, I'll point out how to get a good cop and bad cop status.
****************************************
GOOD COP
****************************************
Arrest criminals
Solve Street Crimes
Neutralize Enemies
Frisk civilians and find Drugs/Weapons
Defeat Criminals
Use Stun Attacks in Stealth Missions
****************************************
BAD COP
****************************************
Kill civilians
Kill criminals(unless they use deadly force)
Defeating civilians in street fights
Use Deadly Attacks in Stealth Missions
Destroy and Blow up vehicles with someone inside
Remember that you're actions inflicts what happens to you. If you're a
good cop, you'll pretty much have an easier time with this game. If you're a
bad cop, expect to be facing lots of trouble(like Swat Teams and Gang Drive
bys). Sometimes civilians will try to take the law in their own hands and try
to stop you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GOOD/BAD COP NOTE: In some story missions, you'll be required to chase down a
criminal that has fled from you, or an escape mission. If this so happens,
blowing up their car won't affect your Cop Rating.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===============================================================================
************************* 2.5 OPTIONAL STREET CRIMES ***********************
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===============================================================================
Street crimes are optional and happen randomly each time in the game. When
participating in them, you'll have to chase down the criminal and arrest them.
Unlike frisking, you have to arrest them by holding Z button and pressing X by
them. Like real life, sometimes they flee off when you're about to cuff them.
What do you do next then..? Chase them and try again. While you're pursuing
them, make sure you press one of the attack buttons while running to trip them.
If they don't surrender after they've been tripped, fight them and defeat them.
Then cuff them afterwards. Other ways to get them to surrender are:
1. Blasting your gun in the air by holding Z button and pressing R
2. Flash your badge by holding Z and pressing A button
3. If you're in a car, turn on your siren
4. Automatically when they're caught
Though, these ways aren't always sure fire to get them to surrender, these are
the only ways to get them to. If they don't surrender, chase and/or fight them
and cuff them. If they shoot back at you, if you can, neutralize them or kill
them(since they already used Deadly force).
If they do surrender, just approach them and arrest them. If you get a person
to surrender, also check if they had a gun. If they did and you either fired in
the air or flashed your badge, make sure they dropped their gun. If they
didn't, prepare for a chase or a shootout since most likely, they will want to
test you to see if you'll fight back.
If you want, you can just wander around and press X to frisk random people.
If you're lucky, you can bust someone with either illegal weapons or illegal
drugs. Doing this will raise your Good Cop Rating and increase your badge
points by 5.
[+++++++++++++++++++++++]
[***TIP***TIP***TIP*** ]
[+++++++++++++++++++++++]
Head down to Venice to get the highest rate of people carrying either
illegal drugs or weapons. If you head down to Rose/Dudley Ave and Ocean Front
Walk, about 98% of people you frisk, will have either an illegal weapon/drug.
Make sure you're on the block closest to the ocean to get this really high rate
or else it decreases down.
Here are all the street crimes I've witnessed and seen(I tried remembering
some word from word. Some might not be TOTALLY accurate, but they're describe
as best as possible).

Here is the Walkthrough. Starting with, the Best Ending Path, then the
Average Ending Path, and finally, the Poor Ending Path. Hope it helps. The way
the path splits is this:
Best Ending Best Ending
/-----------|------------|----------------|

Poor Ending Fair Ending
Best Ending Requirements: 100% Episode Completion
Good Cop Status Rating
Fair Ending Reqirements: 100% Episode Completion

Poor Ending Requirements: 100% Episode Completion
Good Cop Status Rating
-OR-
Bad Cop Status Rating
===============================================================================
Here are some basic descriptions you'll be seeing throughout this
Walkthrough. Reading this part my help you understand it better throughout
most of the missions.
In certain Driving Missions, I might say a term like:
----> Ex:
"Head straight on Broadway St until you get on Broadway and Temple St."
First off, take a look at the top screen at the street indicator. Head straight
down that certain street until you get to the intersection. At an intersection,
it will have the current street you're on in the green box, and the street that
you will be on, depending on the sect you take.
----> Ex:
|----------------|
---> Green Box | BROADWAY ST |
|----------------|
|--------------|
---> White Box | Temple St |
|--------------|
The green box is your current street and the white box is the upcoming turn at
an intersection. Be sure to keep this in mind so you can understand some of
the driving missions in the walkthrough.
===============================================================================
FINAL NOTE: I completed this game with and without upgrades of any sorts, so
this game IS possible to beat without any upgrades, so don't worry if you're
wondering if you have a certain upgrade to help you out. Also, for the best
experience of this game, its best to go through this game without any upgrades
so you don't go through this game so fast. If you do want to get upgrades, then
the best time to get them, is if they're on your way to the destination point
according to my walkthrough, or Bonus Cruisin' Missions.
Heres the walkthrough.

*******************************************************************************
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 1: SHOOTING PRACTICE
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Destroy 10 Targets
Not to hard for a first mission. Just press R and wait for the targets to
appear. When the target is locked on to the paper targets to appear. Hit R and
fire the bullets and destroy them. Use Z button to do a Manual reload for
quicker and easier work. Use control stick if you want to scroll through
targets while pressing R. There are 16 targets, so don't fret if you missed 1
or 2.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 2: RUSHING TO E.O.D
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Race to Chief's Office
Check your City Map when you start this level(Pause Menu and City Map).
The Green Dot, should be behind your current position. Not to far away. Run to
your car that is on the curb in front of you. You have 1:28 second to get to
the destination before you fail. Quickly, turn around and drive straight until
you get to Olive Street and 6th. Make a left turn and drive down on 6th street
until you get to 6th and Broadway street. Make a right turn and the target is
right there in front of you. You should get there with plenty time to spare.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 3: DRIVING FOR CHOW
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Drive to Restraunt(Solve Street Crimes: Optional)
This is a free style mission, meaning that you have all the time in the
world to do whatever you please. If you want, you can take the time to solve
street crimes, get upgrades, frisk and bust some random civilians, whatever.
If you do decide to take on the mission right away, check the city map and
the destination is right behind you. Turn around and get back on the main
road. You should be on Broadway St. Drive straight until you get on Broadway
St. and 3rd street. Make a left turn and Drive straight. You should be on 3rd
St. Keep driving straight until your Mini Map shows a Big Green Dot. Make a
left turn and you shouldn't miss it. Get out the car and walk to the green
pointer(the door).
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 4: TRIAD MUSCLE
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Fight Triad Thug
This guy isn't to difficult. Just use low kicks and punches to hit him
since it seems to connect the most. Keep hitting until he is stunned and do a
finishing combo move(check basic moves for the beginning combos). Repeat and
rinse and he should go down.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 5: FINALE: ROSIE TROUBLE
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Shoot Triad Thug
For the first shooting mission in this game, there are alternate ways you
can do this. First off, you can pursue the Triad Thug and shoot him while he
shoots you back until one of you die. You can also get in a car and run him
over and shoot him.
The safest way I would recommend(and know), is run/roll in front of a car.
Hold B to duck and take cover while he shoots. When he stops shooting, get up
and shoot back. Don't get too near the car since there is chance the car can
suffice enough damage to blow up. Since he is near it, he'll pay the price for
being near it. If the car blows up before he dies, you can always roll to the
next one thats right beside you and repeat.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After this mission, you'll be given a Bonus mission called Bonus Cruising.
Its just like a free style mission except you have to drive to one of the 3
green upgrade icons to get a free: Signature fighting move, Free gun upgrade,
and a Free Car. Once you choose one, you get a chance to win one. For
strategies to getting these, check the "Bonus Cruising Strategies Section."

*******************************************************************************
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 1: CRUISING FOR LEADS
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Drive to Destination(Solve Street Crimes: Optional)
Another free style mission. You have the same options again. Either get
upgrades, bust some criminals, solve street crimes, etc. But since this a
walkthrough, I'll get straight to the point. If you have a messed up car in
front of you from your last driving mission, go to the Parking Lot, which is
right behind you to get yourself another car.
If you want, check the City Map. Your destination should be on the right
of your current location. Get in your car and lets ride. When you get in the
car, you will switched to the opposite direction(facing south instead of north
like you just were). Head to the next lane and point yourself north to be on
Broadway St. Drive straight until you're on Broadway St. and 4th st. Make a
right turn and you'll be on 4th street.
Keep driving straight until you see the Green arrow turn into the Big
Green Dot. Go to the Dot, exit the car, and head to the front door.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 2: DOJO ATTACKER
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Fight Attacker
In the risk of spoiling the story, I'll get to the point of this fight.
When the battle begins, you might want watch his attacks for a while and attack
when he attacks you back. I personally love using the low kick(B Button) since
its at the tip of my fingers and it works pretty well against him. Keep doing
combo punches and kicks til he is stunned. Do a finishing combo and repeat
again. The battle area is very wide, so make sure you don't trap yourself
against the wall thinking that there is no place to run and get fighting space.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 3: RED LATERN RUSH
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Race to Bar
Another timed mission. Make sure your car is fit and doesn't have popped
tires. If they do, just quit and reload to a free style mission and get a
fresh car. Then save and return back to this mission.
When the mission begins, You'll have 59 seconds to clear this mission, but
if you've seen your City Map, its not to far. Drive straight down San Pedro St.
til you see a fork splitting left and right. Head to the left fork and continue
heading straight down the path til 1st St. and Los Angeles St. Take a right
turn and straight down that path until you see the next turn heading left. Take
that street and you'll be on Temple street. Head straight down to that street
until you see the Big Green Dot appear on the Mini Map. Turn right and drive
on the Dot with plenty of time to spare.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 4: BAR BRAWL
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Fight Feng
This battle is a little different from your other ones since he's going
to be carrying a knife. I find that these battles are a bit harder since they
come down on you very quick and fast. The best tatic I could come up with is
to block his first few attacks and come after him with some punching and high
kick attacks since those usually hit him more than my beloved low kick attack.
When he is stunned, use a finishing combo. Repeat til he is defeated.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 4:(Alt) THE ARSONIST
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Chase Feng
The first alternate mission. You can do this for fun if you want, but not
really required. Also note, that when you're done with the previous mission,
this mission will be skipped, so you'll have to go back to the title screen to
select this mission.
If you decide to do this mission, you'll probably love since its a high
speed chase. Basically, all you have to do is chase him down and shoot his car.
Use the Precision Aim and shoot at least 2 of his tires to slow down the car.
If you want, you can get out of the car and pop out the rest until he
surrenders. If you suck at Precision aiming, you can try to pop his tires out
by driving on the side of him and shoot the side of the car aiming for the
tires.
If you want, you can still stay in your car and shoot his car until he
gives up due to a damaged car, or blow up his car. Either way, you'll win.
Just make sure you avoid as much damage to your car as possible if you want
to be able to catch up to him.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 5: CHASING TRIAD THUG
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Chase Feng
This is a real short mission. Just chase him down and shoot him, or jack a
nearby ride and run him over. If you want to have fun, do a drive by on him and
make it look like a gang related murder. ^_^
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 6: DRIVE TO JIMMY'S
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Drive to Warehouse(Solve Street Crimes: Optional)
Another free style mission, do what you want, but heres what to do from
the starting location. Check your City Map if you want to. If you did, the dot
is on the Northeast position.
When you begin, you'll be on Figueroa St. Head straight down the Figueroa
St. until you're on Figueroa St. and 1st St. Take a right turn at the intersect
and you'll be on 1st St. Head straight down 1st. St. til you get on 1st St. and
Los Angeles St. From then on, you only need to continue on the path until you
see the Big Green Dot. Head there to your next destination.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 7: SNEAKING IN
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Sneak into Warehouse
The first stealth mission in the game. Not quite hard if you know what
you're doing. When you first begin, walk straight in front and press B to press
against the wall. When you side step, you should see a guard. He never turns
around, so thats good. Now, you have 2 choices of attacks. Stun Attack(Good
Cop), or Deadly Attack(Bad Cop). You also have a Tranquilizer for quick and
sticky situations, but thats neutral and you only have 3 Tranqs.
Head to the first guard and take care of him. Next, head for the pillar
that is right by the statues. Press against it and fix your camera until you
can see straight ahead. Wait for the guard to come into your view. Once he
turns around and patrols back, head for him and take care of him. After that,
you'll see another guard in front of you, having a smoke. Hide behind the
pillar next to you and fix your camera into his sight. Wait for him to turn
to face you and turn to face back. Once he faces back, approach him and take
care of him. If you need to, you can always roll to the side while approaching
him so that he doesn't see you.
After him, you'll see another pillar in front of you. Press against it
and fix your camera to point straight. You'll see a guard patrolling by, that
goes back and forth. Once he turns around, approach and take good care of him.
Now that you're almost there, be patient and cautious. Head up the ramp and
continue straight for the exit point. While you're heading there, you'll see a
shadow appearing. Another guard will come out, so keep approaching until you
see him. Take care of him quickly or use a Quick Tranq. Afterwards, stand on
the exit line to finish.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 8: JIMMY'S AMBUSH
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Shoot Jimmy's Crew
When the level begins, quickly head to the nearest pillar and press
against it for cover while Jimmy's crew starts shooting at you. Looks like
you'll be expecting a fire fight. Take out the first 2 guards that will be in
plain sight after they reload. Walk forward a bit til you see a guard up on the
left balcony. Roll towards the boxes and hold B to duck down. If you're real
close to the box, that guard can't hit you. When he reloads, retaliate with gun
fire. Head forward a bit and a guard will come running out. Quickly dispatch
him since you have no time to take cover. Walk forward a bit and a guard will
appear on the top right balcony. Take cover behind the big drawer and boxes
that are on the right side or the Pillar near by. When he reloads, fire back.
Walk straight a bit and another guard will come running out. Quickly take
care of him since there is no time to take cover. Head straight for the pillar
with the First Aid Kit Box. If you're really hurt, I suggest using it(press X).
At the same time, a guard will appear on the right side. Either duck down or
press against the pillar. When he reloads, kill him. Afterwards, 3 more guards
will appear on the left side. Duck down behind the boxes and by the pillar or
press against the pillar. Use C Stick to target the one in plain sight of you
and shoot him when he reloads. Also note of the other guards, so don't waste
to much time on him. If you want to, you can side step between the pillar and
the drawer so you can go back and forth hitting them. Afterwards, guards will
start coming in from the Balcony. Repeat going back and forth from the pillar
to the drawer for cover while firing. Make sure they're reloading before you
move if you want to avoid as much damage as possible.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 9: FINALE: SNIPER ASSASSIN
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Shoot Sniper
Short and easy mission. When the mission begins, run in between the
windows, taking cover. The sniper isn't really that far away, so you can easily
see him. When he shoots, quickly come out and fire a few rounds while he is
running around. When he stops, take cover and wait for him to fire. After he
shoots, hit him with more bullets. Repeat this til he dies.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After this mission, you'll be given a Bonus mission called Bonus Cruising.
Its just like a free style mission except you have to drive to one of the 3
green upgrade icons to get a free: Signature fighting move, Free gun upgrade,
and a Free Car. Once you choose one, you get a chance to win one. For
strategies to getting these, check the "Bonus Cruising Strategies Section."

_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 1: OFF TO CHONG'S
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Drive to Chong's Residence(Solve Street Crimes: Optional)
Another free style mission, giving you a chance for upgrades. If you want
to get them, get them now. Otherwise, heres how to get to your next location
from where you start.
When you check your City Map, you'll have quite a ways to go, but it
shouldn't take long. You'll begin on Melrose Ave. Head straight down the lane
til you get to Melrose Ave and La Cienega Blvd. Take a right turn to get on
La Cienega Blvd. Head straight down the path til you get to La Cienega Blvd
and Santa Monica Blvd. The intersect will point diagonally from northeast down
northwest. Head on left on the northwest intersect to get on Santa Monica Blvd.
Head straight down the path until you get to Santa Monica Blvd and Palm Ave.
Make a right turn and head straight down on Palm Ave until you get to Palm Ave
and Nellas St. Make a left turn and you'll be on Nellas St. There is a short
path running straight through here, so when you're on Nellas St. and Lerrabee
St., make a right turn to be on Larrabee St. At the same time, another short
path. This will also reveal the Big Green Dot. Make a left turn into Sunset
Blvd and head straight for the Dot.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 2: TAILING CHONG'S LIMO
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Tail Chong's Limo
I'm not much on the path of where this guy goes, since I'm pretty sure its
not random on where he drives. But then again, not to sure. My only advice is,
make sure you keep up with him and pay attention to the tail meter. Make sure
it stays in the middle. If you get to close, you'll have about 5 seconds(check
Spook Meter) to get further. If you get to far, you'll have about 3 "Falling
Behind" messages before you fail. Try to avoid as much traffic as possible and
pay attention to your Mini Map also. The mission will end automatically once
limo reaches its destination, so be patient.
Make sure that you do NOT shoot the Limo or else he might try to escape you and
also notice your presence. In that case, you'll automatically fail since he
drives around in circles in paths.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 3: A STAKEOUT GONE BAD
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Escape Attackers
In this mission, it will be YOU who is targetted by the criminals. To win
these missions, check your City Map for reference. When you leave their line of
sight(their Big Red Dot on the City Map), thats when you win the mission. Of
course, losing them might not be easy, especially if the car is using is slow.
At the beginning of the level, I suggest popping out at least 2 tires of the
car to escape him, or blow the car up. If you have a fast vehicle, then try to
ditch him.
NOTE: Sometimes you might not be able to shoot the enemy in this mission unless
he is in front of your range. Beware of that also.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 4: DRIVING TO SPA
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Drive to Russian Spa(Solve Street Crimes: Optional)
When you begin this level, you'll start out on Melrose Ave. Drive straight
on Melrose Ave until you're on Melrose Ave and Martel Ave. Take a left and go
into Martel Ave. Keep driving straight until you see the Big Green Dot. Take a
right and go into the Dot to your next location.
Also note, an Optinal Street might appear, saying "Rocky's Goons are Back". If
this so happens, either ditch them again, or take them out.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 5: SPA INFILTRATION
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Sneak into Russian Spa
Another stealth mission. Not to hard, but just watch out for things on the
floor. When you begin, walk straight to the Lockers and press against it. When
the level began, you should of seen a head patrolling around. Slide against the
wall and switch your camera facing that guard. When he patrols away, approach
him and take care of him. Now, from where you knocked out the guard, stick on
the lockers on your right. Slide until you see a guard that is smoking. Fix
your camera if you need to when looking at him. Wait for him to turn facing
your way, and wait for him facing back. Once he is facing back, approach him
and take care of him.
Continue forward and a lady should appear walking. She won't see or head
your way, but take care of her while walking onward. When you turn left, you'll
start to see some men coming out of the Spa rooms. While walking forward, they
will come out. They won't walk your way or anything, but take care of them as
you walk forward. There are 3 Spa rooms, so expect 3 men to come out.
After that hallway, turn left and you'll see a big boiler in front of you.
Walk straight towards that boiler, but avoid the pail in front of you or else
you'll alert the men that are relaxing. Also while heading forward, on your
right by the pail, you'll see a man relaxing. Take care of him if you want to.
Continue heading for the boiler. Press against the boiler and slide left just
a bit. You'll see a guard patrolling left and right. Once he is away from you,
approach and take care of him. If you want, you can take care of the other men
that are relaxing for more Good Cop points. Avoid the pails if you're going for
them, otherwise, continue forward past the boiler to the Green Point.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 5:(Alt) RUSSKIE TROUBLE
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Fight Russian Goons
As you might of guessed from the objective, that you'll be fighting some
russian goons. There will be 4 russian goons after you, so pick one and take
care of him. Use some low kicks and punches to nail him. If you want, throw in
some high jump kicks. Once he is stunned, use a finishing combo on him. Once
you take care of one guard, go after the next until you finish the 4 off. Make
sure you don't get surrounded by them. If you find that you're surrounded, try
to run away and take care of one them. If you can, try to do a "Monkey Kick"
finisher on them while they're facing the pipes or sinks to do some extra
damage. Once your done with them 4, then your finished.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 6: SHOWER ROOM ANTICS
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Fight Bathers
When you begin, you'll have 3 bathing men on your ass. First off, go after
the one in front of you. Do some low kicks and punches to get stun him faster.
Once he is stunned, do a finisher on him. If you can do a finisher like "Monkey
Kick" or something like that, try to aim him towards the pipes or the sink for
extra damage. Once one bather is done for, go for the next and repeat. Make
sure you keep your life at a minimum since after you take care of the 3 bather,
you'll have another bald headed bather after you.
The bald headed bather isn't to hard, but he can prove as a worthy
opponent. This guy does block a lot, so make sure your holding the control
stick the oppostite direction as the bald headed man so you're ready to block
also. You might want to mix in some low kicks and punches since the high kicks
seem to rarely hit him. His stun bar is a bit high, so try to get as many hits
on him as possible. Once he is stunned, make sure he is facing toward an object
so that you can do a finisher and knock him towards that object to do extra
damage.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 7: FINALE: THE ACCOMPLICE
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Shoot Spa Crew
This mission is fairly easy since you have plenty of cover to avoid enemy
gunfire. When the level begins, roll forward towards pool and immediately press
and hold the B button to duck down. There will be 2 guards shooting at you from
the other side. Usually, one guard will go by a pillar while one stays there to
shoot. When one reloads, get up and fire back. Get by the pillar on your left
or your right, depending on where the second guard is at, and kill him. From
then on, the guards come in from random places. When the target Icon shifts on
your right or left position, it means that the guards are coming from your
side, hoping to flank you. Use the target Icon to your advantage, so as they
come out, you can shoot and kill them. Keep killing the guards, while taking
cover til Chong comes out himself. The fire fight with Chong is a lot easier
than the previous stuff with the guards since its only him.
All you have to do is take cover and let him fire at you. When he reloads,
come out and shoot back. Repeat as necessary til he dies.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After this mission, you'll be given a Bonus mission called Bonus Cruising.
Its just like a free style mission except you have to drive to one of the 3
green upgrade icons to get a free: Signature fighting move, Free gun upgrade,
and a Free Car. Once you choose one, you get a chance to win one. For
strategies to getting these, check the "Bonus Cruising Strategies Section."

MISSION 1: EN ROUTE TO AUTOSHOP
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Drive to Auto Shop(Solve Street Crimes: Optional)
When you begin, you'll be on Cloverfield Blvd, right by an intersection.
When you drive forward a bit, you'll be on Cloverfield Blvd and Michigan Ave.
Make a right turn on the intersection to be on Michigan Ave. Drive straight
on Michigan Ave and make that forced right turn to be on 21st St. Drive
straight on 21st St. until you get on 21st St and Olympic Blvd. Drive straight
on Olympic Blvd til you see the Big Green Dot. Head for it and you'll be done
with this level.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 2: GREASE MONKEYS
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Fight Bikers
When you begin this fight, you'll be facing 2 bikers. Pick and take care
of your first target. Do some low kicks and punches to stun him faster. There
are a lot of objects in this auto shop to cause extra damage. One is the car
on the lift. Two, there are some yellow barrels on the corner of you when you
just begin the level. Make sure your clear distance from them while you kick
the biker towards them. There are several barrels throughout this auto shop
also, so use them to your advantage. The other biker has a wrench, so be
careful of him.
Once you're done with the bikers, another guy comes in to join the fight.
he is holding a steel rod, so be careful of him. Continue with the low kick
combo since the punches don't seem to get to him much, but mix it around a
bit. Once he is stunned, do a finisher on him, and if you can, hit him towards
a barrel or another object for more damage.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 3: CHASING FRANCIS
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Chase Francis
A basic chase mission. Just follow him and shoot his car, or try to stop
it. If you have enough gun upgrades where you've already needed to neutralize
in the gun upgrading missions(24/7 facilities), use the green scope on the
wheels to make further use. If you don't have the green colored scope, then
just aim for his wheels, or just shoot his car til its all junked up.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 4: OFF TO THE GULAG
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Drive to Dance Club(Solve Street Crimes: Optional)
You'll start out on Beverly Blvd. Head straight on Beverly Blvd. While
going straight, make sure you look out for a car that sort of looks like one
of them race cars. The front of the hood should be a bit black while the back
of the bumper has asian lettering on it. It is a very fast car and IS VERY
USEFUL IN THE SOON UPCOMING MISSIONS. Make sure you find it on Bevelry Blvd
or else you'll have to find your own path to the next destination. Once you
find that car, jack it, and continue on Beverly Blvd. If you have done some of
the car races on the Bonus Cruising Missions, I think the 01 roadster car or
the 03 sports car should suffice in enough speed, but I'm not to sure since I
haven't tried them out yet. For now, stick with the chinese car. If you decided
to find your own path while looking for that chinese car, I would suggest
heading near Korea Town since that place has a lot of them. The Ferrari works
well also if you can find it.
A personal note, I recently found another path that you can take that
DOESN'T require any of those cars, but you can use the default Impound Car('66
Classic car). If you decide to use this car, go ahead and use it. Check below
on the Alt strategy that is on the next few sections.
Continue on Beverly Blvd til you get on Beverly Blvd and Croft Ave. Turn
right and get on Croft Ave and drive straight until your on forced
intersection. You should be on Croft Ave and Melrose Ave. Turn right to be
on Melrose Ave. Keep driving straight on the diagonally placed road to get
on Orlando Ave. Keep driving straight on Orlando Ave until you get on another
forced intersection. Turn left to be on Santa Monica Blvd. Drive straight just
a bit and you'll see another intersection. It should Say Santa Monica Blvd and
Olive Dr. Head straight on Olive Dr and you'll see the Big Green Dot appear.
At the end of Olive Dr, take a left turn to get on Sunset Blvd and head
straight to the Big Green Dot.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 5: ANOTHER WAY IN
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Sneak into Dance Club
You'll start behind the red dumpster. If you take action quickly, you can
sneak behind the nearest guard and take him out before he turns around. If you
decide to wait, you'll have to wait for him to patrol towards you and then
away from you. Once he is away, then approach him and take him out. Then, just
ahead of you, a guard in white will be in front of you. Avoid the white crap
on the floor and approach and take him out. Then, get on the wall with the
graffiti and press against it. Slide to the corner and switch your camera to
face a guard patrolling back and forth. Once he patrols away from you, approach
him while avoiding the poop on the floor and take him out. Don't worry about
the other guards you see since they can't really see you from your distance.
Then, get on the fence wall and press against it. Slide by the dumpster to
take a look at the guards patrolling. Once they both walk away, head towards
the guard patrolling left and right. Take care of him and walk up. When that
guard is about to patrol south, he'll barely miss you. Go behind him and take
care of him. Head back down and you'll see another guard just on your right.
He doesn't turn around, but he is smoking. Get on that fence and slide by.
There is white crap and poop on the floor, so avoid that. Approach him and
take care of him. In front of you, there is the green pointer. While heading
for it, a guard will pop right out. While walking, just take care of him at
the same time and get on the green pointer.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 6: DISCO INFERNO
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Shoot Bouncers
This shoot out will be quite difficult since the cover is crap on this
level. When you begin, hold B while the bouncers shoot. When they reload, you
might want to do a slow mo side jump and shoot at him so you can avoid the gun
fire of the other guard shooting. There will be shooters off to your side and
up the balcony, so beware. The only alright place to take cover, is probably
in the middle table. Once you take care of the 3 front guards at the beginning
of the level, get to the middle table and take cover. Hold B, and get ready to
fire at any guards that approach you. There is also a Med Pack at that table,
so take if your badly hurt. Move around the table while guards appear and shoot
them for the best cover. After taking out of all the guards, the DJ will appear
on the top Balcony ahead of you. He will try to snipe you down. Take cover and
wait for his first shot. After he shoots, appear and fire back. Repeat as
neccessary.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 6:(Alt) ALLEY BRAWL
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Fight Bouncers
When the level begins, you should be automatically be surrounded by the
bouncers. Get away from the Triangle and pick one out of the three bouncers to
deal with. Do low kicks and punches and stun them to do a finisher. Once you
take care of one of them, repeat as necessary for the next 2.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 7: CARY IN TROUBLE
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Race to Cary's Dojo
I hate this level so much. This is probably one of the hardest levels ever
in this game. Remember when I HIGHLY suggested to get a chinese car back on
the: Off to the Gulag mission? This is when the chinese car comes into VERY
high use. Its probably one of the known cars I know that will complete this
level very effieciently and in a timely manner. You have 2:55 Seconds to
complete this annoying level. If you didn't get the chinese car earlier, then
exit this level and go get it. Save on that level and come back to this level.
When you begin, Head straight on New Hampshire Ave, avoiding as much
traffic as possible. When the time is around 2:32, you should be at Wilshire
Center. Continuing onwards, at 2:11, you should be at Korea Town. A few seconds
afterwards, you'll see a forced intersection going right and a split second
left and up. Take that tiny left and up and continue forward on New Hampshire
Ave until you see an intersection heading left(New Hampshire and Olympic Blvd).
Head left and you'll be on Olympic Blvd.
Continue straight on Olmpyic Blvd til you see an obvious parking lot on
your left. Cut right though that parking lot as a shortcut and you'll end up on
Figueroa St. Head straight on Figueroa St. until you're on Figueroa St. and
5th St. Head straight on 5th St. until you see the Big Green Dot appear. Once
your on the same intersect as that dot, turn left to get on San Pedro St and
head for that Dot.
NOTE: I did an update on cars, and you can also use the Red 01 roadster car
or the 03 sports car to complete this level fast enough.
----------------
Alt Strategy:
---------------
If you want to use the '66 Classic Car, or any other car that moves around
the same speed as this car, check this route out.
When you begin, drive straight on New Hampshire Ave and get ready to make
a left turn. Once you get on New Hampshire Ave and Beverly Blvd, make a left
turn onto Beverly Blvd. Continue on Beverly Blvd and take a look at your Mini
Map. Once you see a V shaped forked in a road(Beverly Blvd and Westmoreland
Ave), take the right path of the fork and you'll continue on Beverly Blvd. If
you accidently missed this fork, you have one more chance. Take a left into the
next intersection at Virgil Blvd and continue straight until you see a path
going northwest. Take that northwestern path to get back on Beverly Blvd.
Continue driving straight on Beverly Blvd until you see another V shaped
fork in the road. The intersection will be Beverly Blvd and Lucas Ave. Take the
northeast(right) side of the fork and you'll be on 2nd St. Continue straight on
2nd St until you see a forced intersection. Take the path on the right to be on
Figueroa St. Also note, that if you used the X button while making that turn,
you'll have a better chance to recover and not crash.
Continue driving straight on Figueroa St until you're on Figueroa St and
4th St. Make a left turn into 4th St and continue driving straight up this
street, avoiding traffic. If you wanted, you could of tooken 3rd St, but you'll
be going against traffic, which is really bad. Anyways, continue on 4th St
until you see the Big Green Dot on the Mini Map. Take that final right turn
into San Pedro St and to the Destination.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 8: FINALE: VANDAL WRATH
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Fight Vandals
When you begin, you'll be facing 3 Vandals. The black guy with the samurai
helmet will be carrying a sword, so beware of him and make sure he doesn't
sneak up on you. Pick a vandal and deal with him with low kicks and some
punches. Since there aren't much objects around, you'll have to deal with just
the finishers for heavy damage. Once Vandal 1 is taken care of, take out the
other 2 Vandals.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After this mission, you'll be given a Bonus mission called Bonus Cruising.
Its just like a free style mission except you have to drive to one of the 3
green upgrade icons to get a free: Signature fighting move, Free gun upgrade,
and a Free Car. Once you choose one, you get a chance to win one. For
strategies to getting these, check the "Bonus Cruising Strategies Section."

_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 1: TAILING COP SUSPECT
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Tail Suspicous Cop
Mainly, another tailing mission. What I hate about this mission, is that
he will go into residence locations, which has tiny roads and lots of turns,
making it easy to get close to him on accident, but then falling behind also.
Just try to keep your tail meter in the middle and probably near the top, so
you don't fall behind easily. Follow him until he reaches his destination.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 2: BUM ENCOUNTER
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Fight Winos
I don't even know why Nick even wastes his time with these damn drunken
bums, but oh well. When the fight begins, you'll be surrounded by the 2 bums.
The white male bum will have a bottle, while the black male bum will have a
knife. Block off the while male bum's first attack and get out of the middle
where you're surrounded at. Go after a bum and take care of him with low kicks
and punches. The only objects are the weak walls that go into another room, a
few boxes, carts, and refrigerators. After going after one bum, take out the
other bum.
After both of the bums have been taken care of, a transvestite bum will
come after you. This bum seems to block a lot, so mix in with attacks and
stun him. Do a finisher and repeat as possible.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 3: MEETING RAFFERTY
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Drive to Meeting(Solve Street Crimes: Optional)
You'll begin on Holt Ave. Get in your car and hold B to drive backwards.
Drive back until your on the intersection. Point yourself northward(towards
the destination point) and head north on Pico Blvd until you get on Pico Blvd
and Crenshaw Blvd. Head straight on Crenshaw Blvd until you see the Big Green
Dot. Head for the Big Green Dot.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 3:(Alt) PEKING DUCK
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Drive to Butcher Shop(Solve Street Crimes: Optional)
You'll begin on Holt Ave. Hold B to drive backwards. Drive back until
you're on the intersection. Point yourself northwards(towards the destination
point) and head north on Pico Blvd. Head straight on Pico Blvd until you get
on Pico Blvd and Hoover St. Turn left and you'll be on Hoover St. Ahead of you
on Hoover St. you should see the Green Dot Destination ahead of you(not on the
map, but its sorta visible). Keep going straight until you do see the Big Green
Dot on the Map. Go the Dot.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 4: BUTCHER SHOP RUSH
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Race to Butcher Shop
This race to the destination isn't to hard, but have at least the small
the chinese car or the 01 roadster car or 03 sports car to get there. You have
2:14 minutes/seconds to get to your destination Head straight on Crenshaw Blvd
until you get on Crenshaw Blvd and 9th St. Make a right turn to get on 9th St.
From that little path on 9th St, keep driving straight up until you get on a
forced intersection. Turn left and you'll be on 5th Ave. You'll spend about a
meer second or 2 on 5th Ave since you'll need to make a right turn on 5th Ave
and 9th St. You'll be back on 9th St. Go north on 9th and sooner or later, the
sign will shift to James M Wood St. Continue on north on this street until you
get to a sort of forced intersection. You should be on James M Wood St and
Hoover St. From them on the intersect, turn right to get on Hoover St. Continue
onward on Hoover St until you see the Big Green Dot. Make the final left turn
and get on the Big Green Dot.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 5: ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Fight Triad Butchers
When the fight begins, you'll have 2 triad butchers on you. One will have
a Butcher Knife while the other has a Chopping Knife. This area is kind of
tiny, so its easy to get surrounded. First off, pick a butcher and fight him.
Do low kicks and punches on him to stun him quicker. When he is stunned, do a
finisher on him. The objects around you will the the counters, butcher's table
and the fridges. If you can do a finisher on a butcher, send him towards the
counter to cause a firey explosion causing lots of damage. Make sure your at
clear distance so it doesn't affect you either. Repeat as necessary after
taking care of one butcher.
After the 2 primary butchers, 3 more come out. Pick one to fight with and
repeat what you did earlier. These next 3 are pretty weak since a few hits seem
to do them in pretty good. After the 3 butchers, you'll have to finish off one
more. This guy seems to block on an average, so pick up a weapon and throw it at
him. His attacks are fairly slow, so get kick or punch him when his is ready to
attack. Make sure you do block though just in case he does get in on you.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 6: SLAUGHTER HOUSE
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Shoot Triad Butchers
When you begin this shoot out, take care of the guard that is running for
cover. After he is gone, hold B and duck down and wait for the guard that is
on the meat to appear. When he stops shooting, quickly take care of him and
head for the door. When you do head for it, a guard will immediately appear
in front of you. Now, you have the choice of killing him, or press X button to
hold him hostage and to use for cover. If you choose to hold him hostage, go
forward and shoot the incoming guard ahead, then killing the guy you took
hostage. If you decide to kill that guard coming out, then kill the incoming
guard that will pop out. When you walk forward, walk towards that bin and
roll. Immediately hold B since a guard will come out shooting. Use that bin
as cover. When he reloads, pop up and pump him full of lead.
Walk forward a bit, pass the bin and press against the pillar. A guard
on the meat rack will head towards you shooting. When he stops shooting, pop
out and shoot him. Run forward until you see another bin. Once you get to the
bin, duck down since another guard will appear. When he reloads, kill him.
Head forward, passing the bin until you see a pillar on your left. Press
against it and a guard will come out. When he reloads, shoot to kill. Enter the
next room. On the wall, should be a Med Pack. Get it if you need it and head
for the bin that is in front of you. Duck behind it and a guard will come
running out. When he reloads, kill him. After he dies, you might hear gunfire.
Just ignore it and continue forward. Once you make a forced turn, you might
see a guard on the meat rack. Quickly do a side dive once you target him, and
kill him. Continue on, and head for the nearest bin in front of you. Duck
behind it, and kill the guard that will run out.
From northwest of your location, should be a counter. Roll towards it
and 2 guards will pop out of the door. Duck and slide left. You then will
only see 1 guard while the other one is not visible. With that, it means
that only one guard can hit you. Wait for that one guard to reload and kill
him. Then slide right and finish off the other guard that is shooting.
Directly in front of, should be a bin. Head towards it and duck behind
it. One more guard will appear. Duck and wait til he reloads. Then kill him.
Head for the exit.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 7: FINALE: THE GREAT ESCAPE
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Escape from Triad Goons
You'll start out in a forced truck. Since its pretty slow to outrun them,
your only choice is to slow them down. The most effiecient way I found doing
this is, drive forward til you leave the alley. Make a quick left turn and
hold B. This will cause you to drive backwards, which is exactly what you will
want to do. You'll want to drive backwards throughout this mission so you can
keep an eye on the goons. Shoot the goons while driving to slow them down. If
you want, go into precision aim and shoot out their tires. Otherwise, shoot
at them until their cars are weak weak or go into a lane opposite of them and
get lucky enough to pop a tire. Once both cars are slowed down, your done.
If you're still having trouble trying to take out their tires to slow
them down, it is possible to outrun them. First off, head out the alley and
take a left turn. Keep driving straight and head right on the nearest
intersect to maintain speed so you don't bump into a building to slow down.
From then on, take as many turns possible by going into streets that offer
them. If you want to go into circles to confuse them, make sure that they're
right by each other so they don't try to cut you off.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After this mission, you'll be given a Bonus mission called Bonus Cruising.
Its just like a free style mission except you have to drive to one of the 3
green upgrade icons to get a free: Signature fighting move, Free gun upgrade,
and a Free Car. Once you choose one, you get a chance to win one. For

===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 1: OFF TO WU'S PLACE
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Drive to Destination(Solve Street Crimes: Optional)
You'll start out on Broadway St like you did earlier on the second
episode. Get in your car(or go into the Impound Garage behind you and pick the
ones you won in Bonus Cruising Missions). Turn around and head the opposite
direction to face the green point on your map.
Drive straight on Broadway until you see the Big Green Dot that will
appear on the Map and in front of you. Head towards it and your done.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 2: UP THE FOOD CHAIN
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Sneak into Restraunt
A short sneak mission. First off, head towards the doorway and press B on
the side of it to crouching wall press. Move the camera until you see the
guard. Wait for him to turn around and approach him. Take care of him and move
forward. Walk into the next room and turn right. Press against the wall to do
another crouching wall press. You'll see a guard through the tiny holes.
Switch your camera around to see him patrol around. He patrols left and right,
so wait til his back is turned and approach him. Take care of him and turn
right to move onward.
Walk straight, passing the wall to see another wall on your left. Stick
to that wall and slide just a bit. You'll see a guard when switching your
camera, who will be patrolling back and forth. When he patrols away, approach
him and take care of him. Turn left and head for the wall in front of you.
Wall press and you'll see a guard smoking from the other side of the wall.
He doesn't seem to turn around, so approach him, but avoid touching any chair
in your way, and take care of him.
Now, if you were to walk straight a bit and turn your camera, you can
see that the green arrow is just right there. Instead of going straight
towards it by going northeast, walk straight from where you just took out the
previous guard and approach the wall on your left. You'll see a patrolling
guard moving left and right. When he patrols right, you should be able to see
him. When he patrols left, he isn't visible. Follow him when he turns left
and knock him out. Now turn around and walk forward, towards the wall.
A waiter might appear, so press against the wall and wait for a few seconds.
If he doesn't appear, then go after the smoking guard ahead of you. Avoid
the chairs and take care of him. Step on the Green Arrow and you're done.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 3: KITCHEN INSPECTION
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Fight Cooks
When this fight begins, there will be 3 cooks after you. They're all
holding knives, so be careful. Go after the one right across from you, using
low kicks and punches. Once you stun them, you can do a finisher to send them
flying to the table in front of you to clear more fighting space, the
stoves to do extra damage, or the sinks. When you take care of the 3 cooks,
2 more weak cooks will come out. Take care of them with low kicks, punches and
finishers.
Once all 5 cooks are done for, a demon will come rushing out. This fight
is a bit tricky, since NONE of your hits will do ANY damage to him. His only
weakness, is fire. The only fire in this room, are the stoves. Use low kicks
and punches to stun him and use a finisher send him flying towards a stove.
If the stove(s) haven't been used already, it should siphon half of his life.
If they've been used already, continue using finishers to send them flying
towards the fire on the stoves. Repeat sending him to the fire until he dies.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 4: SEEKING ANCIENT WU
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Locate Ancient Wu
Since now your in an mine shaft, I'll try my best to help you navigate
through it, but its not really that hard to get lost. This is a basic shoot out
mission full of demons. When you begin, head forward, sticking on the wall on
your left. If you have the Flash light gun upgrade, it will be a lot easier to
see in this dungeon. Otherwise, you still can't get lost. Once you get to the
edge, a demon will appear. Wait for him to reload, and pop out and kill him.
Continue forward, but stick on the wall on your left. Keep sliding until
a human guard runs out and starts shooting. Wait for him to reload and kill
him. Continue forward until another guard pops out. You should be then, halfway
of that tunnel. Stick to the left side and press against the wall or run back
to take cover. When he reloads, kill him. From your location, there is an
intersect splitting left and right. If you head right, there will be a demon
that just pops up and doesn't really do anything. Kill him and get a Med Pack
if you need it. Since its a dead end, you'll have to retrace your steps and
head on the left side of the intersect.
Walk straight and head for the wall that is in front of you. A demon
should pop out at the same time. Press against that wall and wait for him to
reload. Once he does, kill him. From here, you should see another intersect
going up, and heading left. If you head left, another demon will appear that
doesn't do much, but approach you and attack you. Kill him and take the Med
Pack if needed. Otherwise, head north and run straight for the wall that is
in front of you. A guard will pop out. When he reloads, kill him. Continue
onward until you see a path that splits right, and one going up.
Basically, the paths lead the same way. Only difference is, that you
handle less guards/demons. I suggest going on the right path. Head forward
on that path and a demon should appear. He is on the other side of the wall,
so for now, you can only hear the gunfire. Stick on the wall on your left
and slide towards it until you get to the edge. Fix your camera to see and
target the demon and kill him when he reloads his gun. Head onward until
you see another wall in front of you. Roll or walk towards it and press
against it. At the same time, a Demon will appear. When he reloads his gun,
just kill him.
Head forward, and you'll see a path splitting left and right. If you
head on the left path, its just brings you more guards and the same path
you were last time(the path going up from before), so head on the right
intersected path. Stick on the wall on your right and you should see a Demon
there waiting to ambush you. Pop out and kill him. Continue forward, and
about halfway on that path, a guard pops out. You can either do a back dive
and shoot him or roll backwards to take cover. Whatever you do, just kill him
and contine.
Turn right and head straight to find another intersect that leads one path
up, and one path left. If you head to the left path, its another Demon that
only approaches you. Kill him and take the Med Pack if needed. Otherwise, head
to the path going up. Before just being careless and running forward, head to
the left path and press against that wall. At the same time, 2 Demons with guns
will appear. Wait for one or both to reload, and kill them. Continue forward
til you get to the short hallway. Press against the wall on your right and
slide til you see the Demon. He doesn't notice your presence, so pop out and
kill him. Continue forward.
There will also be a wall in front of you. Press against that wall and
slide until you see the Green Arrow and 3 Demons shooting at you. Slide until
you only see one in clear vision. Pop out and walk back while shooting at him.
Anoter Demon might appear also. Repeat as necessary for the other demons. While
approaching the other green arrow, 2 demons might appear. Get ready to do a
back dive when a demon is targeted, or run back to the wall for cover.
Kill the least 2 Demons and head for the exit.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 4:(Alt) TUNNEL VISION
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Reach Sewer Exit
When you begin this level, its pretty straight forward. A Spike of walls
will be on your ass, so you'll have to move forward while shooting the Demons.
They don't have guns to shoot at you, so just shoot at them, and they should
die in a few bullet rounds. Keep moving forward while you shoot at them and
go past any of them that you've missed. Once you're near the exit, about 5 to
6 Demons will pop out. Take care of them and head for the Green Arrow.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 5: INNER DEMONS
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Shoot Wu's Demons
When the battle begins, there will be 3 flying demon heads circling you.
There are 2 ways of taking them out. The long way, is basically just shooting
at them while they maneuver around you. When they stop and face you, you'll
have a couple of seconds to pump some bullets into them and roll away. Repeat
as necessary until the 3 demons are dead. Of course, there are 3 more demon
encounters, so this tatic IS VERY time consuming and aches your hands from
pressing that trigger like a mad man.
The second tatic is VERY time effiecient and doesn't ache your hands out.
All you have to do, is just let them circle you until they stop to face you.
Quickly, hold R to go into Precision Aim and hit each demon's eye. This will
cause an instant death to them. If you're quick, you can hit each of the 3
demon's eyes out. After those 3 are dead, 4 more appear. Repeat the same until
those 4 die. After that, 5 more appear. Again, repeat as necessary until those
5 die. Then, a final encounter with 1 last demon. This time, he has 3 eyes.
Let him circle you until he faces you and go into Precision Aim. Shoot out his
3 eyes as quickly as possible since he moves quick. The best way possible to
avoid damage, is put out one eye, and get out of Precison Aim and roll out of
his way. Repeat til his eyes are gone.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 6: DIE DIE MY COCUBINE
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Fight Wu's Concubines
Mainly, you'll be fighting Wu's 2 Ladies that were sitting by his side.
Pick one of the 2 Cocubines and fight her. Do low kicks to quickly stun them.
If you're lucky, when they're stunned, do a finisher to send hitting the chains
and off the stage, into the Lava. If you want, you can break some of the chains
and lead them off or do a finisher to kick them off. Also note, that they will
disappear and telport back to the middle if they're away from the middle of the
stage for to long. Once one is dead, go after the other and take care of her.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 7: FINALE: NIGHTMARE
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Shoot Wu's Dragon
There are 2 tatics you can use to bring this dragon down easily. One
tatic, is when he circles around you, hang by the fence and follow him while
you're shooting him. This allows you to hit him more easier than staying
stationary in the middle. When he he dives down into the lava, move the C stick
and rotate the camera so that way you can face him. When he pops up, shoot at
him while you move to the corner of the so he faces you diagonally. Keep
shooting at him until he arches his head back and his mouth is filled with
fire. Thats your cue to roll to the side to fully avoid the fire. If you
weren't at the corner of the circle, there is a slim chance you would have
room to avoid the fire. Make sure you're not near the dragon after he shoots
the fire at you, since he dives back down and swings his tail at you. If you
were near him, his tail will hit you. But if you did what I said and got in
the corner of the circle, you won't be near it.
The second tatic requires Precision Aim. When he circles around you, go
into Precision Aim. Circle around until you see his head. When his head comes
up from the lava, aim at his head and start shooting at it. After a few
bullets, he will dive back down. Circle the C stick until you see him. When
he is standing upright, ready to shoot his fire at you, quickly Precision Aim
and shoot his face and his(and possibly inside) mouth. This will cause him to
dive back down and circle you again without him spitting any fire. Repeat if
necessary. If a chance that you do miss his mouth or something, and that he
is ready to shoot his fire, make sure you're at least in the middle of the
ring. When his mouth is glittered up with fire, get out of Precision Aim, and
get ready to roll back once he shoots. After you roll back, immediately roll
to the side to avoid his fire completely. Though this tatic is almost surefire
in defeating him, it doesn't take that much life away from him.
If you want, you can shoot him in the face with Precision Aim to cause
more damage to him instead of the mouth. Of course, in order to avoid his fire,
you'll have to roll backwards in the middle of the ring, and immediately roll
to the side to avoid his fire attack. Repeat using the C stick, and using
Precision Aim to shoot him while he circles around you.
If you have the Hollow Point Bullet Upgrade, this fight won't last long,
since that upgrade causes heavy damage to him. If you hit him in between his
eyes with the Hollow Point Bullet, it seems to instantly kill him. Just get
this upgrade and shoot his forehead. If you shoot around a lot, you'll more
than likely to accidently hit his weak point. This seems to work only if
you're using Hollow Point Bullets.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After this mission, you'll be given a Bonus mission called Bonus Cruising.
Its just like a free style mission except you have to drive to one of the 3
green upgrade icons to get a free: Signature fighting move, Free gun upgrade,
and a Free Car. Once you choose one, you get a chance to win one. For
strategies to getting these, check the "Bonus Cruising Strategies Section."

When you begin this level, turn your car around and face south of your
position so you're facing the Green Arrow Point on the Map. You'll be on Santa
Monica Blvd. Drive straight on that Blvd until you're on Santa Monica Blvd and
Camden Dr. Make a left turn into Camden Dr and drive straight until the Map
shows the Big Green Dot. Drive to the Big Green Dot and you're done.

MISSION 2: PRESSING RAFFERTY
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Fight Barkeep
A simple fight with a Barkeep. Just mix in some low kick and punch combos
to stun him. Once he is stunned, you can do a finisher to knock him into the
surrounding tables and the counter. Repeat as necessary until he is done for.
That'll teach him to mind his business and not to mess with Nick Kang.
===============================================================================

MISSION 3: ON RAFFERTY'S TAIL
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Tail Rafferty
Quickly get in your car and follow him. Make sure that when you pay
attention to the Mini Map for his location, be sure you don't miss the tiny
little intersection he goes into since its easy to miss and can cost you the
whole mission. Once you pass that part, its easy from then on to follow him.
Of course, this mission is kinda long since Rafferty doesn't know how to get
out of a traffic jam and he spends his sweet dear time just trying to get
through cars. Continue following him until the mission is complete.
===============================================================================

MISSION 3:(Alt) FBI GOONS
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Fight FBI Agents
You'll be fighting 2 FBI agents in this level. These guys have tasers on
them, so be careful. You might want to mix in some low kicks and high kicks.
If you can, throw in some punches. When they're stunned, you can do a finisher
to send them flying either to the wall, or the cars that are around you. Once
your finished with one of them, go after the other one and repeat.
===============================================================================
_______________________________________________________________________________
MISSION 4: ESCAPING THE FEDS
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Escape From Feds
This is probably one of the easiest escape missions I've ever done in this
game. First off, you have 2 choices, escape from them, or pop their tires out
and escape from them. If you have a fast Impound Car(like the 01 or the 03),
you can try to escape them by taking twists and turns throughout the level, til
you lose them. I find that popping out their tires is the easiest tatic. If you
want to pop their tires, get some distance first. Then, turn your car around
and wait for them. When they come by, go into Precision Aim and pop out their
tires. These guys rarely ever shoot at you, which makes it easier. If you want
or find that its easier, you can exit your car and do this task. Once you pop
their tires, escape them and finish the level.

MISSION 5: RAFFERTY'S DATE
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Tail Rafferty
Another tailing mission. Again, repeat what you did earlier. They will go
inside residences, making it that they take their time going through cars.
Just be patient and follow them until they reach their destination. Make sure
that once you're out of the residences, you keep the point on the tail meter
near the top so that you don't lose them.

MISSION 6: EAVESDROPPING
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Sneak into Warehouse
This mission is pretty tricky, but pretty obvious if you can think of
locations of where they can ambush you. First off, turn right and press against
the wall. When you switch your camera, the guard that you can see, will be
patrolling back and forth. When he patrols away, approach him and take care of
him. Right after you take care of that guard, turn to the wall on your left and
press against it. Slide until you get to the edge and you'll see another guard.
He doesn't really walk around, but he shifts his position north and east. When
he positions his self north, slide until you get to his back and take care of
him.
After you take care of that guard, from his current position, turn right
and keep walking. Once you see the path going north, stick to the wall on your
left and fix your camera north. You'll see a guard patrolling left and right.
When he patrols right, you can see him. When he patrols left, he isn't visible.
Approach him when he turns left and take care of him. From your position,
you'll see a guard just standing there. He won't turn around, but there are 2
barrels in your way. You'll have to go in between them so you don't alert that
guard. If you do alert him, just shoot him with a Tranq.
When you turn yourself left, you'll see another path going off. Get on
the wall on your right and press against it. Slide until a guard starts
patrolling left. He will barely miss you. This is when you sneak up on him
and take care of him. If he some how does see you, you always have the trusty
Tranq. Gun to silence him. From your position, turn yourself to east from
where the previous guard walked from. Stick to the wall on your right and
slide til you're at the edge. You'll see a guard patrolling north and south.
Once he patrols away, approach and take care of him.
From where you knocked out the guard, go to the wall just a bit north
from you and stick to it. Slide til you're at the edge and you'll see another
guard. He'll be patrolling north and south. Once he patrols away from you,
approach him and take care of him. Now, you'll have to head southward. You'll
see the Green Arrow Point, but don't head towards it. Instead, head southward
for that Big Crate that sticks out in front of you. Head to it and press
against it. After that, a guard will walk by you, barely missing you. Release
the B button and follow him northward and take care of him.
Before heading to the Green Arrow Point, only one guard that stands in
your way. From the crate you were previously pressing against, press on it
again and slide until you see a guard just smoking. He is standing across the
Green Arrow point, ready to ambush you. If you have Tranqs. shoot it at him.
If you don't, just approach him and quickly stun him before he sees you.
After that, you're home free.

MISSION 7: FINALE: FATHER'S KILLER
_______________________________________________________________________________
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE: Shoot Rocky's Posse
This shoot out will begin on top of a balcony while Rocky's men will
appear on the bottom floors and the balcony across from you. The cover in this
level is crappy, so you'll have to deal with the pillars for cover. There are
2 UZIs on the floor. One is a few steps left of the first pillar and the second
is a few steps left of the second pillar. If you want, you can use those to
take out his men. Hide behind the pillars and shoot whenever they or one
shooter reloads. Take out one at a time and shoot the barrels to take them out
quicker. There will be some guys on a crane wire shooting at you while they
move about.
Make sure you that if you dive, you dive to the side and not forward since
you can "accidently" jump off and fall to your death. There is a Med Pack on
second pillar. Roll to it if you're badly hurt. Continue to shoot his men until
a shooter comes to your side of the balcony. Once you kill him, you're done
with this level.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After this mission, you'll be given a Bonus mission called Bonus Cruising.
Its just like a free style mission except you have to drive to one of the 3
green upgrade icons to get a free: Signature fighting move, Free gun upgrade,
and a Free Car. Once you choose one, you get a chance to win one. For
strategies to getting these, check the "Bonus Cruising Strategies Section."
