Episode 7: Finding Rocky



Mission1: In the Drivers Seat

Objective: Drive to Destination

Another simple driving mission. Make your way to the bar and feel free to solve any crimes along the way. It's not a far distance to drive so there shouldn't be that many appearing. Also along the way there will be some fast cars that you can trade up for, well borrow, anyways. When you get to the bar enter and watch the scene.



Mission 2: Pressing Rafferty

Objective: Fight Barkeep

The Barkeep can be one mean mofo and might take a few tries to defeat depending on how many fighting upgrades you have. I didn't have many and found that punching him non stop and grappling him when he was stunned was the easiest and fastest way to deal with him. When he is on the ground for good, Nick will leave the bar and find Rafferty outside.



Mission 3: FBI Goons (Alternate Mission)

Objective: Fight FBI Agents

Fight these two rather wimpy FBI agents out side of the bar. They both have a shock stick in their hands that give you a zap when they hit you. Knock them around and grab it to return the feeling. Neither of the agents is tough and a few good kicks and punches will bring them both down.



Mission 3: On Rafferty's Tail

Objective: Tail Rafferty

This tailing mission is the same as the previous ones. Keep the mark on the spook meter to the right in the middle and don't get too far or too close to him. Eventually you will reach his destination. This is a long drive and chances are that he will get caught in traffic more than a few times so be sure to keep the meter in the middle.



Mission 4: Escaping the Feds

Objective: Escape from Feds

Once again like all the previous escape missions, you need to lose the car following you. Unlike the previous missions however, there are now three cars on your tail to outrun and they don't seem to shoot at you. Make them crash and burn by using the traffic to your advantage and you will be able to escape them with no problems.



Mission 5: Rafferty's Date

Objective: Tail Rafferty

Arg…didn't we just do this? Once again hop in your car and follow Rafferty and his hot chick friend in their car. The drive isn't nearly as long as the last tailing mission was but chances are they will get stuck in traffic a few times again. Keep the marker on the Spook meter in the middle and this mission will be no more difficult then any other tailing mission.



Mission 6: Eavesdropping

Objective: Sneak Into Warehouse

Make your way around the first set of crates taking out the guard there. When you are in the large area, make your way around to the right of the large stack of crates and shelving in front of you. Take the guard there and watch out for the yellow barrels. Don't touch tem or they will alert the guards. Follow the passage around the corner and to the right. Take out the few guards along the way. When you get around to a passage going left and right you will be able to see the green arrow to the left. Don't go that way just yet. Judo chop the guard on the right and then head left for the arrow. To the left of the green arrow will be two more guards. Shoot them with the darts you have left and enter the door way at the arrow.



Mission 7: Finale: Father's Killer

Objective: Shoot Rocky's Posse

You will be up on the catwalk as the room below and the balcony across from you fills with goons. The guards aren't the smartest apparently since there are yellow barrels all over the area that explode when shot. Since the goons are nice enough to stand in front of them, shoot the barrels to take care of the enemies quicker. Dive back and forth on the catwalk to make getting hit that much harder. There is a med pack on the center column that you can grab when getting low as well. When a goon comes in the door at the end of the catwalk, kill him and the mission ends.





Episode 8: Retribution



Mission 1: The Girlfriend Angle

Objective: Tail Rocky's Girlfriend

Oh boy, another tail mission. You know how to do these by now and this one is no different than any of the others. When she stops, a scene will play with a chit chat between Jill and Nick.



Mission 2: Back to the Gulag

Objective: Race to the Gulag

For this mission you have exactly 4 minutes to race your way back to the Gulag nightclub where you fought the bouncers earlier. As soon as you start driving, make your way to the right and follow this street all the way to the gulag. Along the way, stop and grab a street racing car as you will come across quite a few of them. The sooner you grab one the better. Once you have a faster car, just keep following the same road and you will reach the Gulag with plenty of time to spare.



Mission 3: Rocky's Trap

Objective: Fight Rocky's Goons

Fight the three goons that are in the night club and thankfully no more will show up afterwards. The old guy in the Puma suit in the only one that should give you some trouble but if you block his 4 hit combos, then that trouble is nothing to worry about. Take him out first and then work on the two other guys. When all three are dead a scene starts and the next mission begins



Mission 3: Chopper Ambush (Alternate Mission)

Objective: Escape the Helicopter

As you drive along the highway, there is a chopper that follows you and shoots at you. There are two gunners on each side that shoot at you and the chopper it self launches grenades at you. All I did to defeat the chopper was stop in the middle of the road and fire as it flew back and forth above me. After I had stopped it never hit me once, but it did tear my car apart while I was driving. After shooting at the chopper as it passed a few times it finally blew up to end the mission.



Mission 4: Driving to Airport

Objective: Drive to Airport

Follow the green arrow to get to the airport and feel free to take your time. With no timer on the clock, you can solve any street crime you wish to as well as try and find yourself a car that you like. When you finally reach the airport after the really long drive, you will have another talk with Jill.



Mission 5: Hangar Showdown

Objective: Shoot Commandos

Make your way forward and kill the three soldiers near the cars. When they are dead few more will come running out of the doors on the far side beside a large container. Shoot them and the container and the one or two that appear on the top balconies. Make your way around thee corner to the left and there will be a snip up top. Hide around the corner and wait for him to fire. When he does pop out and shoot him. Hide back around the corner when you need to reload. Continue around the crate and three more goons will rush you. Kill them and one will be waiting for you. After him, go right and kill the one there waiting by the barrel. Again continue right, around the corner and kill the last few remaining guards in this hallway. When you get close to the arrow at the end, about 5 goons will appear. Use the slow dives and they shouldn't be a problem.



Mission 6: Jetting Away

Objective: Shoot Rocky's Jet

As soon as the mission starts drive fast to catch up to thee jet. You don't have a lot of chances to shoot the jet so make every shot count. Be careful as you cross the tarmac and watch the other airplanes on the runway. One good hit from them will end the mission. Stay as close to Rocky's jet as you can and don't stop firing. When it reaches the final runway it will go straight and pick up speed. Try and stay directly behind it so the bullets hit it. When you hit the plane enough times it will explode and a stranger shows up to have a chat.



Mission 7: Finale: Puppet Master

Objective: Fight General Kim

General Kim is one mean sucker. The area you are fighting in is surrounded by fire and takes a considerable amount of health off you if you touch it. Of course the fire does nothing to General Kim though. There are three spinning pipes located throughout the fighting area. Make sure you pick those up and use them against him. You are going to need all the help you can get to fight him. When battling him up close and personal, do not use jump kicks. They never hit him and he always hits you right back upon landing. Keep your guard up after you give him a shot or two and do not let him nail you with his combo. If he does nail you with it, it will take off a third of your health pretty damn quick. If you don't have any fighting upgrades or not many, then I would definitely suggest getting a few before taking Kim on. After you finally whoop Kim's ass, you have completed the game. For your troubles you will receive the Best Ending.
