Episode 1 Triad Violence



Mission1: Shooting Practice

Objective: Destroy ten targets

This first mission is pretty much as easy as they come. When the targets drop down, shoot them until the fall apart. Reload after each target so you don't get caught having to reload when you are halfway through shooting a target. When you manage to get 10 targets, a cut scene starts ands you have a chat with the chief.



Mission 2: Rushing to EOD

Objective: Race to the chief's office

Another easy level to get you in the swing of driving your car. Walk up to your car and press L1 to get in. You now have 1:30 seconds to get to the Chief's office. Look at the map at the lower left corner and follow the green arrow to the large green circle on the map. When you get there, there will be a large green circle on the street to drive though. Stop on it and another scene will start inside the station.



Mission 3: Driving for Chow

Objective: Drive to Restaurant

Hop in your car and make your way to the Chinese restaurant and meet up Rosie. Along the way, you can stop and take care of some street crime since there isn't a time restriction on how long you need to take to get there. If your cop rating is a little low, I would suggest doing this to get it back up. When you get to the restaurant, enter and a scene will play with Rosie.



Mission 4: Triad Muscle

Objective: Fight Triad Thug

As soon as the mission starts you are toe to toe with a triad thug. Give him some kicks and punches and even a throw for good measure. Be sure to block his punches and kicks and nail hit with a combo when he is stunned. After the fight, he will run outside.



Mission 5: Rosie Trouble

Objective: Shoot the Triad Thug

After the scene plays, the Triad will be running across the street from you and hiding behind cars with his machine gun. You can hide behind cars and you can jump out and dive roll at him to be all fancy, but the easiest way to kill him is just charge at him and fire all your rounds into him. He will go down in no time flat.





Episode Two: Mean Streets



Mission 1: Cruising For Leads

Objective: Drive to Destination

After the scene with the Chief about Rosie and the triads, you head out and are on your way to a dojo. Along the way there are many crimes you can solve, but ultimately you will end up at a martial arts studio to have a skirmish with the fellow inside



Mission Two: Dojo Attacker

Objective: Fight Attacker

The fight is no different then the earlier fight with the Triad thug. Use your kicks and punches and don't forget your blocks. After the fight a scene starts and the two of you have a few words when the Chief calls you and interrupts. Your Brother tells you that you can come back at anytime for some fighting practice as you leave.



Mission Three: Red Lantern Rush

Objective: Race to Bar

When you get outside, you have 60 seconds to get in your car and boot your ass down to the Red Lantern Bar. If you don't have a fast car, not to worry, it really isn't all that far to get there. Follow the green arrow on the map and you will get there fast enough. Enter the bar and a scene plays



Mission Four: Bar Brawl

Objective: Fight Feng

Feng was a pain in the ass to me the first few times. After giving him a few short low kicks, he really didn't seem all that tough anymore. He does have an unfair advantage of swinging a knife at you, but if you manage to knock it out of his hand, make sure you pick it up and use it against him before he can. Block his moves and step into him with the low kicks and finish him off with some jump kicks. After you kick his sorry ass another scene plays and he high tails it.



Mission 4: The Arsonist (Alternate mission)

Objective: Chase Feng

As Feng runs out of the bar, hop in your car and chase him down. He'll take off pretty quick so don't waste any time going after him. When you catch up to him, start filling his car with lead and ramming it if possible. When you make his car catch flames, he'll jump out and give up.



Mission 5: Chasing Triad Thug

Objective: Chase Feng

As the objective states, start running after him and either tackle him or slide under him when you get close to him. If you really want to do it the easy way, you can start firing on him when you get close to him. Pop a few rounds into him to bring him down and you will complete the mission. As you talk to the Chief and tell her you are going to check out Jimmy's and that is the next mission.



Mission 6: Driving to Jimmy's

Objective: Drive to Warehouse

Once again, just another simple driving from point A to Point B mission. There is no time limit to get yourself to Jimmy's warehouse so feel free to fight some crime like a cop should. The distance to the Warehouse is pretty far so there are more than a few crimes you can solve on the way. When you finally get to the warehouse, get out of the car and enter the building



Mission 7: Sneaking In

Objectives: Sneak into Warehouse

Ahh a stealth mission. If you are spotted by the guards and don't take them out fast enough afterwards then the gig is up and the mission is failed. Sneak up on the first two guards in the first floor area and stun them from behind. For the third, sneak behind the pillar behind him and then jump out and stun him as well. Make your way behind the box ahead of you and get behind it. Wait for a bit as another guard will come walking around the corner and stop. When he turns around, jump out and stun him. Make your way up the ramp at the far end and back toward the green arrow. When you are almost there, another guard will come out. Shoot him with the tranq gun and enter the next room.



Mission 8: Jimmy's Ambush

Objective: Shoot Jimmy's Crew

Make your way forward through the warehouse killing the enemies that appear. There are quite a few of them so be sure you use the boxes and crates as cover. Grab the machine guns from the ground and use those against the thugs as well. They work a lot better then your pea shooters. When you get to the far end, there will be a rush of thugs that appear on the balcony and from around the crates on the ground. Try to stay back a bit and take them all out. When no more are left to attack a cut scene plays and another mission starts.



Mission 9: Finale: Sniper Assassin

Objectives: Shoot Sniper

Across the rooftop is a sniper that you can see with your crosshair on him. Make your way to the window and hide behind the wall columns on the left or right of the middle window. The sniper will run from being seen in the right window, to the middle, to the left and then back to the middle and finally to the right and will keep repeating that pattern. Stay hidden when the sniper is firing from the left or right windows. As soon as he is done firing from either of those, go to the middle window and zoom in on the snipers head using your precision targeting as he lines up to take a shot at you from the middle window. Fire a few rounds and hide back behind the wall. Stay there until he fires from the left or right window again and run out to zoom in on him as he moves into the center window. Keep repeating this pattern and he will die in no time. Make sure you shoot at him and then hide behind the wall again before he has a chance to fire at you. After you kill him you are on to the bonus mission and the next episode.





Episode 3 International Ties



Mission 1: Off to Chong's

Objective: Drive to Chong's Residence

This is a simple driving mission once again. Make your way through the city as you follow the green arrows to get to the restaurant. When you get there, hop out of your car and enter the restaurant.



Mission 2: Tailing Chong's Limo

Objective: Tail Chongs limo

Follow Chong in his limo but be sure not to get too far behind or too close to him. If you do, you fail the mission. There is a meter that will appear on the right side of the screen and will slide up and down the closer and farther you get to the limo. Try to keep the mark on the meter in the middle and you will complete the mission no problem. When you get to the end, you will pull over and watch them unload it.



Mission 3: A Stakeout Gone Bad

Objective: Escape Attackers

Well oddly enough, if you didn't have Nick's car previously, you do now. For this mission you need to out run the car tailing you and firing its machine gun at you. There are a few ways of doing this mission but ultimately the two ways are to destroy the other car or outrun it. If you choose to destroy it, there is a car icon in the top right corner that will turn red when it is damaged. Turn it all red and it will blow up. You can outrun it simply by heading down a very long road and leading the trailing car into traffic which he'll hit or you can jump out of your car and run through the house and buildings that would take the car along time to get around to. I simply drove straight from the beginning of the mission and kept going until he wasn't close to me anymore.



Mission 4: Driving to Spa

Objective: Drive to Russian Spa

Another simple driving mission where you can choose to solve street crime along the way. Follow the green arrow to the spa and enter when you get there.



Mission 5: Spa Infiltration

Objectives: Sneak into Russian Spa

Oh boy, another sneaky stealth mission. Sneak up on the guard around the first set of lockers and the old smokey around the next corner. Work your way through the tunnel hallway as the waitress walks past the opening. Head around the left corner and pop each of the three guys as they come out of each spa room. When you reach the end of the room, go left down another hallway into a large round room. In the center of the room is a furnace and on the other side of it is a guard walking back and forth. Spread out around the room is people lying down that will wake up if you make noise. Don't kick anything on the ground that will make noise and don't let the guard on the other side see you. Use a tranq dart on him when he turned the other way. Make your way up the stairs when he is down for the count and head for the green arrow.



Mission 5: Russkie Trouble (Alternate Mission)

Objective: Fight Russian Goons

There will be 4 Russians in the shower room here and one of them will bee in a suit with a pony tail. That is the toughest one of the bunch and should be taken out first. Whip his ass and the n open another can of whoop ass on the few remaining Russian goons to move onto the next mission.



Mission 6: Shower Room Antics

Objective: Fight Bathers

When you enter the shower room, there will be three towel covered Russians in here to fight. They aren't tough by any means and tend to stay away as you fight them one at a time. After all three are defeated a lone bald tattooed fighter will come out. He is a bit tougher but using the kicks and blocks you should be able to take him in the first try.



Mission 7: Finale: The Accomplice

Objective: Shoot Spa Crew

At the far end there will be three or four guards to kill. Pop around the corner and kill them and then the room will start to fill with more enemies as they start to enter the room for the four doors in each corner. Keep moving and don't stop or else they will get up behind you and start letting you have it. Be sure to pick up their AK's and shotguns to do more damage tot hem and take them out faster. Eventually when you have killed them all, the boss will run out by himself for you to kill. Use you fancy slow dives and you should kill him in no time.





Episode 4: Russian Face Off



Mission 1: Enroute to Auto shop

Objective: Drive to Auto Shop

This is just a simple drive from point A to point B mission. Feel free to solve any street crimes along the way. When you reach the auto shop, get out of your car and enter the shop.



Mission 2: Grease Monkeys

Objective: Fight the Grease Monkeys

When the two goons "Smack" and "Crank" enter the fight begins. Give them a good pummeling and try to grab the wrenches off them for the next fight. When the two pf them are dead and they should be rather quickly seeing as they really aren't all that tough, another hombre will enter the shop. This fellow is a little tougher. Use the wrench if you managed to pick it up and use the drums around the shop to your advantage. Kicking him into a drum and having it explode will do heavy damage to him. When he is dead you start after Francis.



Mission 3: Chasing Francis

Objective: Chase Francis

Another simple mission that involves hunting down Francis in his purple car and shooting the crap out of it as he drives away. For me, Francis really didn't drive fast at all and wasn't tough to catch in the least. Shoot his car enough times and it will blow up to end the mission.



Mission 4: Off to the Gulag

Objective: Drive to the Dance Club

Just as the title implies, drive to the dance club. Follow the green arrows to get there and feel free to solve some street crime along the way. It's a long way to the club so you may want to just go there and ignore the crimes for now. When you get to the club, stop on the green circle and watch the scene play.



Mission 5: Another Way In

Objective: Sneak into Dance Club

Be vewy vewy quiet. We're hunting Russians. Sneak behind the green dumpster and wait until the guard turns around. Hop out when he does and judo chop him in the back. Make your way up to the next guard and do the same thing. Around the corner will be a guard near the corner. Take him out easily enough and hide behind the wall so the two guards in the large area don't see you. They will walk away and together at the same time, so you have to shoot one and judo chop the other. Whichever is up to you. When they are toast, make your way to the far end and around the corner to where there is another guard waiting. Judo chop him in the back and as you head for the green arrow in the doorway a guard will walk out. Shoot him and enter the club.



Mission 6: Disco Inferno

Objective: Shoot bouncers

Another shoot'em up level where you just need to keep moving and shoot everything that moves. Be sure to pick up the machine guns that the bouncers drop to make the round a lot easier. The guards will come in from each corner of the room going clockwise upstairs and downstairs. When all the bouncers have been killed, a sniper will appear on the balcony at the far end. Hide behind the round structure in the middle of the room and wait for him to shoot at you. When he does, pop up and shoot back at him. Duck down before he shoots at you again and repeat this pattern until he is finally dead. There is also a health pack on the center structure that you can pick up incase you aren't feeling to healthy.



Mission 6: Alley Brawl (Alternate Mission)

Objective: Fight Bouncers

Just another simple fight where you square off against two regular bouncers and one tough guy in a suit and pony tail. Take them all out and be sure to use the bottles on the ground if you like. Again like previous fight missions, go for the tough guy first and then go after the two lackeys. Blocks are needed when they use their combos but other wise they are free to wail on.



Mission 7: Cary in Trouble

Objective: Race to Cary's Dojo

You have 2:52 to get to Cary's dojo. As usual with driving missions, just follow the green arrow and it will lead you right there. It is definitely a lot farther and harder than previous driving missions though. If you are using Nicks default car then you won't make it to the dojo in time. You need to have a fast car to make it and if you don't start with one, then grab one really quick from the start of the mission. If you don't want to waster a lot of time trying to find a fast car then head for the dojo and when you pass a car faster then yours, stop in front of it and get out to jack it. High tail it to the dojo and stop on the green circle to enter.



Mission 8: Finale: Vandal Wrath

Objective: Fight Vandals

After the scene with the three looters in the dojo, you get to fight them all at once. Take them on one at a time and lead them away from the others. When you knock the weapons out of their hands, be sure to pick them up and use them for yourself. I left the largest guy for last and he seemed to allow himself to get kicked in the head a lot. Block his sword swings and take him out. When all three are disposed of, the mission ends.





Alternate Episode 4: Con Girls



Mission 1: Strip Club Detour

Objective: Drive to Strip Club

Follow the green arrows on the map and make you way to the strip club. Take your time getting there and feel free to solve any crime you like. Also while you are out cruising around, grab yourself a fast car. Enter the Strip Club when you eventually reach it.



Mission 2: Cat Fight

Objective: Fight Strippers

Bad Nick. Beating up on girls. Shame on you. Well start kicking their asses with some blocks a lot of kicks and punches. The women aren't tough at all but there all a lot of them to deal with. After you defeat all of the women strippers, a scruffy looking guy will come out of the back room for a fight. Defeating him is no more difficult then the women were. After the fight you'll have another chat with the stripper who first attacked you.



Mission 3: Cruising for Lola

Objective: Drive to Lola Meeting

Another simple driving mission. As always, feel free to solve some crime or grab a better car along the way. Also keep an eye out for Rocky's goons that follow you from time to time. When you get to the Spot hop out of thee car and enter the club.



Mission 3: Lola Rush (Alternate Mission)

Objective: Race to Meet Lola

You have 1 minute and 28 seconds to get yourself to the night club to meet Lola. It is a simple drive and not far at all. I crash more than a few times and still made it with more then enough time to spare.



Mission 4: Five Laps (Alternate Mission)

Objective: Beat Lola in 5 laps

This mission is a nice break from thee regular missions as you a Lola have a five lap race around a rather small race track. Cut the corners tight and ram her off into the side walls and you can have her beaten with no problems at all.



Mission 4: Driving Test

Objective: Race to Destination

You have 1 minute and 28 seconds to drive yours and Lola's behinds to the spot that she chose for the driving test. As long as you don't get into any major accidents this mission is pretty simple and will leave you with plenty of time to spare at the end. Just follow the green arrow on the map and keep to the major streets for the most part.



Mission 5: Police Getaway

Objective: Escape Police

Now that a cop has picked up your scent, you need to shake him off your tail. Like all escape missions, lead him into oncoming traffic and try to lose him down side streets. The farther you stay from him the better since they are trying to bust a cap in your ass. When he is a good distance behind you, floor it down the main streets to get the most speed.



Mission 6: Busting Lola

Objective: Fight Lola

Quite simply Lola is one tough chick. She has a cart wheel attack that will knock you on your ass and cause a lot of damage to you. You can stop the attack by hitting her when she gets close but if she does nail you with it, sometimes she do it twice and even three times in a row to deplete all your health very quickly. All I did to defeat her to keep low kicking her repeatedly non stop while holding back on the control stick to block. It would stop her cart wheel attacks most of the time and stunned her quite a few times to get in some damaging moves.



Mission 7: Finale Sniper Redux

Objective: Shoot Sniper

Fighting this sniper is a little different than the first sniper but the same pattern applies. To start the mission, there will be a metal fence between you and the sniper. Shoot it all the way to the end and three spots in the fence will break away, one at each end and one in the middle. To defeat the sniper the easiest, stay at the middle opening and wait for him to stand in the middle of the walkway where he is shooting from. When he is at the left or right side, just dodge his bullets by stepping left and right. When he is in the middle, shoot him and quickly move before he gets a shot off at you. He takes about 4 shots to take out for good.



Episode 5: The Rescue



Mission 1: Tailing Suspect Cop

Objective: Tail Suspicious Cop

Like the previous trailing mission, watch the meter on the right side of the screen to know when you are too close or too far away from him. Keep the marker in the middle of the meter and follow him to his destination. It isn't too far of a drive and shouldn't cause you too much trouble.



Mission 2: Bum Encounter

Objective: Fight winos

When you enter the run down house in search of the cop, you are greeted by two bums. One of them will have a knife and the other will have a broken bottle. Beat their asses and steal their weapons to use against them. When they are taken car of, another bum comes out and tries to slap box you. It is an old transvestite that takes some heavy swings at you. The easiest way to beat it is to let it attack you while you block and then grapple it to the ground. Do that a few times and it will be beaten.



Mission 3: Meeting Rafferty

Objective: Drive to Meeting

Another nice and simple driving mission. Follow the green arrows to the meeting and feel free to solve any street crime along the way. When you finally reach the diner, hop out of your car and enter to have a chit chat.



Mission 3: The Peking Duck (Alternate Mission)

Objective: Drive to Butcher Shop

It's a long drive to the butcher shop so try and find yourself a fast car to cut down the time. There isn't a time limit so feel free to solve any street crime along the way. When you reach the shop finally, hop out of your car and enter.



Mission 4: Butcher shop Rush

Objective: Race to Butcher Shop

After your conversation with Don, you have 2 minutes and 15 seconds to get your ass to the butcher shop. Get yourself in a fast car and make your way to the butcher shop. You shouldn't have too much trouble getting there with a fast enough car. I got into a few accidents and still made it with a lot of time to spare. Look at the city map to find which streets will take you there the fastest and then make your way along them as you keep your eye on the green arrow. When you get to the butcher shop, stop on the green circle to enter.



Mission 5: On the Chopping Block

Objective: Fight the Triad Butchers

Enter the butcher shop and take on the two Triad butchers inside. Disarm them and use their knives against them. After the first two are defeated, three more will come out. Beat them and then one last butcher will come out to lay a whooping on you. The last guy isn't all that hard to defeat as long as you keep attacking him and don't give him a chance to fight back.



Mission 6: Slaughterhouse

Objective: Shoot the Triad Butchers

Well now instead of fighting them, you get to shoot them. I hope the next mission isn't having you drive them. Kill the few butchers in the first room and make your way around the corner to the open door. Head through and continue down the hallway killing the few guys that show up. Keep moving forward through the hallway and you will have less guys to fight. When you finally get to the last room with the green triangle in front of the freezer door, use the slow motion dive to take out the three goons guarding it. When they are dead, go to the arrow and to the next mission.



Mission 7: Finale: The Great Escape

Objective: Escape from the Triads

Like the previous escape missions, all you need to do is drive away from the guys chasing you. Take turns at high speeds and lead the guys following you into traffic and they will crash and burn in no time. When the red dots on the map that indicate the enemy cars are stopped or a little ways behind, that is the best time to head down straight roads as fast as you cam to get the most distance between the two of you. When you get away from both cars the mission is over.





Alternate Episode 5: High-Rise Terror



Mission 1: The Airport Lead

Objective: Drive to Airport

Simply drive to the airport and solve whatever street crime you want along the way. Try grabbing yourself a fast car if you don't already have one. There is no time limit so take your time getting there.



Mission 2: Chasing Assassins

Objective: Chase Assassins

The killers hop into a truck and start booting their way down the street. Jump in your car and follow them watching out for the two machine gun guards in the back of the truck. Don't bother trying to hit the truck for now. Take out the two guards that are shooting at you and then work on the truck with out being shot at. Drive up right behind the truck and start nailing the guards in the back of it non-stop. Don't let them have a chance to start firing at you when you are so close to them. After they are both dead, start shooting the back of the truck until it stops. The driver will get out and surrender.



Mission 3: A race Downtown

Objective: Race Downtown

Hope you have a fast car like I told you to get. You have 2 minutes to races yourself downtown to the building that is being taken over. Take the highway just past the next major highway and take the ramp to get off just after. From there the green dot won't be far away and you should reach it with plenty of time to spare. When you get there, the area will be covered in cops and fire trucks.



Mission 4: Bank Standoff

Objective: Reach Bank Entry

The green arrow to enter the bank isn't far way at all but there is some heavy resistance blocking your way. Hide behind the police cars and use the slow dive to jump out and nail the robbers one at a time. When you get closer, there are two snipers in each window on either side of the entrance. Hide behind the cars and pop up to take them out as well. If the cars start burning, run. Or they will blow up and take you with them. When you reach the back entrance there are three more goons and one holding a hostage. You can try to go into precision mode and take out the goon and not hurt thee hostage, but I just shot them both.



Mission 5: Lobby Firefight

Objective: Shoot Terrorists

When you enter there will be only a few terrorists in the lobby but more will enter through the doors around the room. When no more enter, there will be a robber behind glass launching grenades at you. You won't bee able to shoot him through the glass so you needed to shoot him through the round hole in the glass that he stands in front of. When you kill him, some more goons will enter for you to kill. Once again there will be another grenade thrower behind glass that you need to kill and for a second time the room will fill with goons. The pattern will repeat one more time and then you will have finished the mission.



Mission 5: Going Up (Alternate Mission)

Objective: Reach the VIP Office

This mission is much like mission 6 of the regular missions except there are no hostages. All you need to do is fight your way through the hallways and rooms and continue your way up the stairs until you finally reach the last hallway that is full of goons and thee green arrow to exit. At the entrance to each staircase there is a med kit on the wall to grab. Make sure you do since chances are that you will defiantly need them. When you reach the VIP Office the last mission of this part of the game will play.



Mission 6: Hostage Crisis

Objective: Reach the VIP Office

This mission can be very difficult or not so much depending on how many hostage you feel like killing. There are plenty of goons holding hostage and trying to kill them in precision mode while they shoot at you can be pretty tough. I chose to just blow them all away without worrying about the hostages. To get trough this level you are going to want to use the "hug the wall and shoot around corners" trick. Each room is full of cubicles and the goons are in between them waiting for you. Popping out from around the corner will usually kill them before they even fire off a shot at you. The rooms are all pretty much the same through the level where there will be a few goons in thee room and then three will rush through thee door at the far end of the room when you get to it. When you reach the finale hallway with the green arrow, shoot the few guard using the around thee corner trick and then enter thee elevator for the final show down.



Mission 7: Finale: Bad Politics

Objective: Fight General Kim

General Kim is one tough mofo. He does an incredible amount of damage and you don't do nearly as much as he does. You needed to block the combo he has since it will destroy your health and send you flying on your ass. I kept alternating between punching and kicking as fast as I could and then would grapple him when I had him stunned. I kept repeating that until he was finally taken out but it did take me more than a few tries to beat him. The more fighting upgrades you have, the more options you have to hurt him, so if you don't have many I would suggest getting at least a few and then face him to make it much less annoying having him kick your ass over and over. When you defeat him in this mission, you have finished the game. Sit back and watch the ending movie for the Poor Ending.





Episode 6: House of Wu



Mission 1: Off to Wu's Place

Objective: Drive to Destination

Drive your way to Wu's place. As usual follow the green arrow on the map and solve any crimes you feel like solving along the way. When you get there, hop out of your car and enter the restaurant.



Mission 2: Up the Food Chain

Objective: Sneak into Restaurant

Make your way into the restaurant ninja style and judo chop your way past the first few guards. When you chop the third guard, the fourth is in the next room facing the opposite wall. Be careful if you decide to sneak up on him since there are two chairs in the way that will squeak if you move them. I preferred to just shoot him from a distance and make my way right into the next room where there will be another guard against the far wall when you go through the doorway. You will see the green arrow in the room to the far left but don't go that way just yet. Go straight where the guard will appear and shoot him when he does. Go to the right and hug the wall as the waiter walks into the room. Judo chop him and there will one last guard in the next room by the green arrow. If you decide to sneak up on him, again watch the chairs and chop him when you reach him.



Mission 3: Kitchen Inspection

Objective: Fight Cooks

After you beat the first three knife wielding cooks that are in the kitchen, another two sword wielding pair will come out. Defeat them and then one lone pasty white cook will come out for an ass whooping. If you look closely at him he looks a little dead already. If you give him a few kicks and punches, you'll see that it does no damage to him. To defeat him you need to kick him into the fire that is burning on the stove. When you do that twice, he will be defeated.



Mission 4: Seeking Ancient Wu

Objective: Locate Ancient Wu

The whole part of this level is just frustrating. The entire mission is under ground in dark tunnels. Keep making your way forward through the tunnels and zombies, yes I said zombies, will pop up from the ground to attack you. As soon as your cross hair appears start shooting them and you will usually kill them before they even get a chance to fire. Grab their guns and continue through the halls. When you reach the green arrow at the end of the tunnels there will be about 8 zombies that come out of the ground and doorway to fight you. Don't run into the hallway where they are. Instead dive back and forth past the opening of the hallway and shoot them as you pass. When they are all dead, you can then enter the doorway at the green arrow.



Mission 4: Tunnel Vision (Alternate Mission)

Objective: Reach Sewer Exit

In this very dark mission you need to keep moving forward as there is a wall of spikes behind you that keeps coming towards you. As you move through the tunnel, a lot of demons will pop up along thee way. Keep shooting them as you move forward. They aren't hard to kill and don't take many shots at all to make blow up. When you get near the end of the tunnel there will be some garbage in the way to run around. Do so and finish killing the rest of the demons that pop up and head for the green arrow to exit.



Mission 5: Inner Demons

Objective: Shoot Wu's demons

This has to be the worst battle in the game so far. If you don't make it through the 3 first boring as hell rounds of this fight without getting hit then are very bad! The first round consists of 3 demon flame heads appearing. You will focus on one of them and fire at it until it explodes. When the heads stop moving and face you, they are going to charge you. Wait a few seconds and then move to the side. You can dive out of the way, but it is a lot easier and faster to just walk sideways and avoid them. Keep firing at them as they fly around the room again. Keep shooting at them until they stop flying and face you again. Once more, dive away from them and then keep shooting. Once all three heads are no more, 4 more will show up. Kill them and then 5 more show up. Told you it sucked. After you defeat the last round of 5 skulls, one big skull with three eye holes will appear. Use the same technique of side stepping its charges to beat it



Mission 6: Die Die My Concubine

Objective: Fight Wu's Concubines

These two girls can be quite the handful if you don't kill them the cheap way. When you kick them against the railing chain around the arena, the chain will break and they can now be kicked off the edge. Instead of fighting each girl until she is beat down, just keep wailing on them until they get near the edge and you can kick them off. Sometimes they will turn invisible and return to the centre of the arena. When they do that, just lure them back to the edge and get back to kicking them over the edge. When they are fried to a crisp, a scene will play with a chat between you and Wu.



Mission 7: Finale: Nightmare

Objective: Shoot Wu's Dragon

Wu's dragon can be pretty intimidating, especially when it hits you with the flame attack. To start with he will just go up and down around the arena and you won't be able to hurt him. Wait until he dives down and you see a wave of white smoke or mist move across. Where the dragon went down he will pop back up and attack you. When he does pop up he will open his mouth and cover you in flames that will do some major damage to you. When you see the white mist moving around the arena get ready to go into precision mode and fire like hell at him. When he opens his mouth to flame you, shoot it from his throat up to his mouth. Fire as many rounds as you can and he won't shoot flames at you. Stay back when he dives back into the lava around the arena or else he will whip you with his tail. It will take about 5 times doing that until the dragon is defeated once and for all.





Alternate Episode 6: Rampage



Mission 1: Revenge Rush

Objective: Race to the Gulag

You have 58 seconds to hop in your car and make it to the Gulag night club. It is a simple drive straight down the street and then a right to the club. Even with Nick's car you should make it there with a few seconds to spare.



Mission 2: Rocky's Getaway

Objective: Chase Rocky

A rather easy mission where you just need to follow Rocky's limo and fill it full of lead when you catch up to it. Stay behind it and continue to shoot it and eventually it will blow up. When it does, the driver will get out.



Mission 2: Gulag Goons (Alternate Mission)

Objective: Fight Rocky's Goons

Fight the three bouncers here one at a time to make it easier. Try to kick them back wards into the speakers and stereo equipment to do more damage to them. None of them are really all that tough and you should have trouble with them at all.



Mission 3: The Bodyguard

Objective: Fight Misha

Now that the driver is out of the limo, you are to square off against him on the street. He isn't too tough and can be had by continuing to lay the smack down by not letting up on the punches and kicks.



Mission 4: Wu's turn

Objective: Drive to Wu's Place

Make your way to Wu's place by following the green arrow. There is no time limit so feel free to solve any street crime and get your self a faster car along the way. Also since it isn't too far of a drive, you may want to get some fighting and shooting upgrades as well.



Mission 5: Payback

Objective: Shoot Wu's Crew

Shoot the girl and the goon at the entrance and make your way across the hall into the next room. Kill the rest of the guards and the cook that appear and in the room to the right will be the green arrow exit. Enter the room and a few more goons will pop out from the door way. Kill them and step into the green arrow to exit the mission and have the next scene play out.



Mission 6: Off to the Airport

Objective: Drive to the Airport

This time you are driving to the airport. Once again, there is no time limit so feel free to solve any street crime and get your self a faster car along the way since it is a pretty far drive to get there.



Mission 7: Finale: Rocky's Loot

Objective: Escape with Money Truck

This is probably the easiest mission of the entire game since all you really need to do is sit in one place and shoot the cars that are chasing you. Since you are in an armored car, they do almost zero damage to you but you tear their cars apart when you shoot them. After you have shot each one of their cars so that they have either blown up or are immobile, drive away to escape them and end the mission.





Alternate Episode 7: Blood Money



Mission 1: Race to Rocky's Lair

Objective: Race to Meet Rocky

Hop in your car and you have 1 minute and 13 seconds to get to the club to meet Rocky. It isn't far of a drive and you can make it there easily in time with Nicks default car. When you get there, stop on the green circle to enter Rocky's mansion



Mission 2: Kinks in the Path

Objective: Sneak in Rocky's Mansion

Head to the end of the hall and take out the first girl on the right. Make a left in her room and head down the hall to take out a guy hobbling around. After you take out him go left and take out the waitress who appears in the hallway. Continue going straight and go right at the end of the hall. Stop at the end and peek around the corner to look down the hall to the left and a guy will be walking up towards you. When he turns around take him out and continue down the hall. Go right at the end and you will come to a room with lots of garbage on the floor. Walk around because if you touch it, the guy sleeping in the chair will wake up. Make your way to the right after you get past him and walk down the hall. Along the way to the end there are two hallways on the right that have a woman walking back and forth. Wait till they turn around and then run across the hallway so they don't see you. When you get to the end of the hall there will be two people sleeping in chairs and a lot of stuff on the ground that will make noise if you hit it. Step around it and turn the camera if you need a better look of where you are stepping. When you get past them, go to the right towards the green arrow and one more guy will come from the left stumbling towards you. Shoot him with a tranq and exit at the arrow.



Mission 3: Freak Show

Objective: Fight S&M Freaks

There are three S&M girls that you start off fighting. They aren't really tough at all but try not to take too much damage as you will need some health for the next fight. Take the girls out one by one with just regular kicks and punches. When the last girl falls, a door will open and six S&M guys will run into the room. For these guys it seems they just couldn't block a jump kick so I keep beating on them with it. You can usually take out more than one at a time with a jump kick attack. The last S&M guy standing was also the only one that had a weapon. It didn't matter much since he was still as wimpy as the rest of them. After all 6 had been beaten to a pulp the mission ends.



Mission 4: Rosie's Ransom

Objective: Drive to retrieve Truck

Once again, there is no time limit so feel free to solve any street crime and get your self a faster car along the way since it is a pretty far drive to get there. When you get to the impound lot, stop on the green circle to end the mission.



Mission 5: Escaping Masterson

Objective: Escape Masterson

This mission is just as easy as the previous mission was with the armored truck. Just stop on the street and start firing at Masterson and the other cop car. Don't worry about them doing any damage to you since they will be destroyed long before you are. When both of their cars are flaming, just drive in any direction and you will escape without a chase.



Mission 6: Chinatown Showdown

Objective: Shoot Commandos

As soon as the level starts take out the two Russian goons in front of you. From there, there will be commando goons popping out from the rooftops and doorway going around the courtyard in a clockwise motion. Kill the first two on the rooftop and then follow the wall around to the right and all the way around the entire area. There are health packs sitting on the poles in the center of the area so grab those when you start to get in a bit of trouble. When you finally come all the way back around to where you started, there will be three goons on the roof in one spot. Take them all out and the mission ends.



Mission 7: Finale: Last Stand

Objective: Fight Rocky

When Rocky hops out of the truck, you and he are entangled in a fist fight. Rocky is about the same toughness that Lola was. If you get him in a few good kick and punch routines he is going to go down. If you let him give you a couple of his own combos then there is no hope. He is a tough cookie and has a sneaky move where he blinds you by blowing dust in your eyes. You need to keep hammering on him with kicks and punches. Don't let up and don't let him nail you with that combo of his. There are a few objects lying around the area that you can pick up to beat him with, but I prefer to just throw them at him. When you get him stunned don't miss your chance to do some heavy damage to him. When you finally have his fat Russian ass beaten, you have completed the game and are treated to the Average Ending.
