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

III. Characters
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Taken directly from the manual.
NICK KANG
Although he was recently suspended indefinitely from the police force due to
repeated incidents of excessive violence and property damage, Nicholas Kang
(Wilson) was recruited into the E.O.D. as the group's first field agent. The
same over-the-line methods that got him thrown off the force enable him to
succeed at the E.O.D.; his arrest record speaks for itself. Kang's skills in
martial arts are only matched by his ability to double-fist firearms and
drive like a Hollywood stuntman.
THE CHIEF
Chief of Detectives, Wanda Parks, is the head of the E.O.D. She has two
decades of law enforcement experience and is one of the most well respected
officers on the police force. Parks puts up with Nick's brash over-the-top
nature because she knows that when all hell breaks loose, Nick is the only
man who consistently delivers.
ROSIE
An ex-gangbanger turned straight, Rosie Velasquez is one tough cop. Having
experienced life on both sides of the law, Rosie knows how to take care of
herself. She's just been partnered with Nick Kang, and isn't too happy about
hitting the streets with a loose cannon. Rosie is afraid she'll get caught up
in the crossfire that constantly surrounds L.A.'s most dangerous detective.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
IV. Shooting Basics
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Hide and hide often. This makes you less of a target for the enemy to hit
and may save your life.
2. At the beginning of the game, take your enemies weapons. They are much
more powerful than the starting guns, and they have a much higher rate of
fire.
3. Use precision aim whenever you need to shoot someone because if you can
hit them in the leg or in the arm, you receive a neutralizing shot and you
get more cop points than if you just kill them. Whatever you do, DO NOT
aim for the head because that lowers your badge points!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

V. Walkthrough
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
CHAPTER I: Triad Violence
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
================================================================================
Mission 1: Shooting Practice
Goal: Shoot 10 targets
Easy mission, as it should be, just press the R trigger immediately. When the
aiming reticule is fully on the target, unload until it is fully destroyed.
Repeat ten times and you pass the mission.
================================================================================
Mission 2: Driving to E.O.D.
Goal: Race to the chief's office
They give you 1:30 to make it to E.O.D. headquarters. This mission is insanely
easy. First, turn around 180 degrees and go straight until 6th Street. Turn onto
6th Street and eventually right onto Broadway Street you reach the green dot.
================================================================================
Mission 3: Driving for Chow
Goal: Drive to the Chinese restaurant
This shouldn't even be considered a mission. There is no time limit, so either
upgrade your skills or solve street crimes to earn badge points. When you do
want to complete the mission, follow the map to the green arrow on the map.
=================================================================================
Mission 4: Triad Muscle
Goal: Beat the Triad thug
This is the first fight that is mandatory. This should be very easy, as the thug
is susceptible to punches, kicks, and jump kicks. Just beat the thug up and when
he is stunned, unleash a finishing move to rapidly lower his health. Soon this
fight will be over and you'll be victorious.
=================================================================================
Mission 5: Rosie Trouble
Goal: Kill the thug
This can be challenging because he has a much better weapon than you. However,
as soon as you can, whip out your guns and fire a full clip at him. After the
clip is exhausted, take cover behind a car. When the thug stops shooting, come
out guns a blazin' and finish him off.
=================================================================================
Mission X: Bonus Cruisin'
Goal: Get a free upgrade
You have three choices of an upgrade to get, a new car, a new gun, or a new
grapple. I recommend getting the new guns so that you deal more damage and you
have a larger clip. See the 24/7 Locations and Upgrades sectional for a
walkthrough of all the choices.
=================================================================================
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Chapter II: Mean Streets
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
=================================================================================
Mission 1: Cruising for Leads
Goal: Drive to Cary's dojo
This mission is another driving mission that is not really a mission. Just
follow the map to the green arrow.
=================================================================================
Mission 2: Dojo Attacker
Goal: Fight the attacker
This is the second fight and is very easy just like the first. This attacker is
vulnerable to kicks, punches, and jump kicks. When he is stunned, unleash a
finishing move to knock a lot more health out of him.
=================================================================================
Mission 3: Red Lantern Rush
Goal: Race to the Red Lantern
In this mission you get 55 seconds to get to the bar. Take San Pedro Street to
Onizuka Street. Then, turn onto 1st Street and then take the turn onto Broadway
Street. Finally, go on Temple Street and then to Hill Street, where the bar is.
=================================================================================
Mission 4: Bar Brawl
Goal: Defeat Feng
Just like the battles before this one, just kick and punch and Feng will get
stunned eventually. Then, when he is stunned, unleash a finishing move to knock
him out faster.
=================================================================================
Mission 4: (Alternate) The Arsonist
Goal: Shoot Feng's Car
This mission is very easy so long as you can shoot well. All you have to do is
shoot at Feng's car until he completely stops and gets out of the car. Then, you
pass the mission without even leaving your car.
=================================================================================
Mission 5: Triad Thug
Goal: Capture Feng
All you have to do is run down Hill Street and fire at Feng when you have a
clean shot. He dies very quickly, but be vigilant of shooting pedestrians and
getting casualties.
=================================================================================
Mission 6: Driving to Jimmy's
Goal: Drive to Jimmy's
Just drive to the green arrow on the map to complete this mission.
=================================================================================
Mission 7: Sneaking In
Goal: Get into the Dynasty Imports Warehouse
Run up and press X next to the first guard. Then run and KO the next guard
around the corner. Be careful near the glass and go around the left side of the
pillar KO the guard there. Head for the ramp and KO the guy to your left. Head
up the ramp and run to the door. A guard will come out so KO him and enter the
doorway.
=================================================================================
Mission 8: Jimmy's Ambush
Goal: Pump Jimmy's crew full of lead
Kill the first two guys directly in front of you. Jump down where they were and
kill the guy near the crate, the pillar, and two on the balconies on both sides
of the room. Head near the wood shield on the left and kill the guard near that.
There is a medical kit on the pillar if you need it. Kill the four men on the
balcony that is on the right. Finally, kill the guard on the balcony to the
left.
=================================================================================
Mission 9: Finale: Sniper Assassin
Goal: Kill the sniper
Wait for the sniper to stop moving and then immediately keep firing at him until
he moves again. Wait until he stops moving and fire again. Repeat until he is
dead.
=================================================================================
Mission X: Bonus Cruisin'
Goal: Get a free upgrade
You have three choices of an upgrade to get, a new car, a new gun, or a new
grapple. I recommend again getting the new guns (.45 pistols) so that you deal
more damage and you have a larger clip. See the 24/7 Locations and Upgrades
sectional for a walkthrough of all the choices.
=================================================================================
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Chapter III: International Ties
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
=================================================================================
Mission 1: Off to Chong's
Goal: Drive to Chong's place
This is another mission where you can upgrade your statistics because there is
no time limit and you can take on other crimes from your radio. Get as many
upgrades as possible and then drive to the green arrow on the map to complete
the mission.
=================================================================================
Mission 2: Tailing Chong's Limo
Goal: Follow Chong's Limo
This mission can be very difficult, so these types of missions are my least
favorite. The bar on the right (your tail meter) shows a red bar with a white
line under it. Under that bar is a white bar and then another white bar. You
want to be in between the two white bars throughout the whole mission. Keep your
distance and brake when the ?????? light up at the top. Other than these hints I
cannot give any more details, so finish the mission by paying more attention to
the tail meter and not the road.
=================================================================================
Mission 3: A Stakeout Gone Bad
Goal: Escape the pursuing attackers
This mission is very fun and can be completed one of two ways. At the beginning
of the mission, shoot out the tires of the car chasing you with precision aim
and drive away. They will not be able to catch up to you, so mission complete.
However, there is a good chance they will blow your car up first, which makes
this second way a bit safer. Drive fast with a fast car and make tons of turns.
The more turns you make the more they slow down. As long as you can maintain a
little bit of speed around the turns, you will burn the attackers and get away.
=================================================================================
Mission 4: Driving to Spa
Goal: Drive to the spa
Solve more street crimes and get upgrades and then drive to the green arrow on
the map to complete the mission.
=================================================================================
Mission 5: Spa Infiltration
Goal: Break into the Russian Spa
You begin the mission in a locker room. Run around the corner and quickly press
X to knock out the man with a towel on. Stop at the next set of lockers and wait
for the guard to turn around. Turn right and KO the guard. Next, run up and KO
the waitress ad turn left. KO all 3 men who come from the steam chambers. Walk
to the furnace, being careful of the pots on the ground, and KO the guard behind
the furnace. Run to the green triangle and you completed the mission.
=================================================================================
Mission 5: (Alternate) Russkie Trouble
Goal: Beat up the four thugs
Try to first separate one of the attackers and kill him. Repeat for all the
other 3 thugs. Each thug is susceptible to kicks and punches, so throw in a
combo if you want and when they are stunned, throw in a finishing move. It is
very difficult to fight more than one at once, so try to separate them as best
as possible.
=================================================================================
Mission 6: Shower Room Antics
Goal: Beat all attackers
Try to separate the men as best as possible and fight them one at a time. All 3
of the men can be hit with just kicks and punches and rarely block, so run free.
When all three men are defeated, another man in a thong appears from the stall.
He is more difficult than the others, so throw combos in to stun him. Lower his
health with finishing moves.
=================================================================================
Mission 7: Finale: The Accomplice
Goal: Shoot the crew of the spa
I hope you upgraded your guns because if not this is gonna be one hell of a
gunfight. Whip out your guns and directly in front of you are 2 people to waste.
Next, 3 men appear to the left of where you started. After those are dead grab
their guns and waste the 4 men coming in from the door to the top right of where
you started. Now 1 from the left of where you started appears again, followed by
2 from the bottom right of where you started. Again, 1 from the left and 2 from
the bottom right of where you started appear. Then, one from the top right
appears, followed by 2 from the top left. Finally, 1 comes from the top right
corner followed by 2 guards from the top left corner of where you started. After
all of these men are wasted, a mini-boss comes in to the fray. Take cover and
aim for a neutralizing shot because he has tons of health and that will
eliminate him immediately. Whew, you made it!
=================================================================================
Mission X: Bonus Cruisin'
Goal: Get a free upgrade
You have three choices of an upgrade to get, a new car, a new gun, or a new
grapple. I recommend again getting the new guns (.50 pistols) so that you will
have the most powerful guns at your disposal as well as the largest clip of
ammo. See the 24/7 Locations and Upgrades sectional for a walkthrough of all the
choices.
=================================================================================
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Chapter IV: Russian Face-Off
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
=================================================================================
Mission 1: En Route to Autoshop
Goal: Drive to the autoshop
You should definitely upgrade and learn most of your gun upgrades as well as
your fighting moves. They will come in very handy in the future, and since there
is no time limit in this mission, why not try the 24/7 challenges? When you are
done follow the green arrow on the map to complete the mission.
=================================================================================
Mission 2: Grease Monkeys
Goal: Fight the mechanics
There are 2 men that you have to beat in this mission. One of them has a wrench,
which can do massive damage. Kill them easily with regular punches and kicks.
After they are defeated, another grease monkey comes in armed with a wrench. He
is a little tougher, so use short combos to stun him and then unleash your most
powerful finishing move.
=================================================================================
Mission 3: Chasing Francis
Goal: Catch Francis
Immediately floor the gas to catch up to Francis. When he is on a straight road,
use precision aim to shoot the tires out of his car. Or, because he turns a lot,
just keep firing at his car until he gets out and surrenders.
=================================================================================
Mission 4: Off to the Gulag
Goal: Drive to the Gulag
Get upgrades and solve more street crimes. When ready follow the green arrow to
complete the mission.
=================================================================================
Mission 5: Another Way In
Goal: Break into the dance club
Run up to the guard at the car directly in front of where you begin. Walk up the
road and beware of the glass piles and KO guy near the truck. Turn the corner
and quickly KO the guard before he turns you in. Walk towards the fence area
where there are two guards. Wait for them to come close together. When they
begin to leave again, KO one and then run to the other. Run around the corner,
watching the glass piles, and KO the guard there. Run toward the green triangle
and a guard pops out near that door. KO him and the mission is complete.
=================================================================================
Mission 6: Disco Inferno
Goal: Kill everyone in the room
Whip out your guns and kill the 3 men directly in front of you, taking cover
near the railing if you need it. After the first 3 guards are killed, 3 come
from the balcony on the left of where you started. After they are dead, 3 come
directly to the left of your starting point. 1 more guard comes from the balcony
on the left of your starting position, followed by 3 from the top left door
under the balcony. Health is in the middle should you need it by now. As you
grab health, waste the 2 guards straight ahead in the upper right corner.
Finally, 1 guard is on the ceiling. Mission complete.
=================================================================================
Mission 6: (Alternate) Alley Brawl
Goal: Fight all the bouncers
Straight punches or kicks can kill them, but throw in combos for fast kills.
When they get stunned, do a finishing move to knock their health down a lot. Try
to keep the guys separate and fight them one at a time.
=================================================================================
Mission 7: Cary in Trouble
Goal: Race to save Cary
This mission is very difficult and requires a very fast car. Go with the 03'
sports car (earned from the last bonus cruisin' mission) if you have it. If not,
take the orange, red, white, or blue car with the spoiler on the back. You have
2:55 to make it to the dojo. Stay on New Hampshire Avenue until you MUST turn
left onto San Marino Street. Make a right onto Vermont Street, followed by a
left onto Pico Boulevard. Finally, make a left onto San Pedro Street and race up
the street to the dojo.
=================================================================================
Mission 8: Finale: Vandal Wrath
Goal: Fight the three vandals
Start by fighting the white guy with the grey uniform. He can be defeated with
straight punches and is the easiest to KO. After he is done, move on to the guy
without the weapon. He can be easily defeated with only kicks if you really want
to. When he is defeated, it is the leader's turn. Throw in quick combos to stun
him quickly and then finish him with some finishing moves.
=================================================================================
Mission X: Bonus Cruisin'
Goal: Get a free upgrade
You should have two choices of an upgrade to get, a new car or a new grapple. I
recommend getting the new car because I do not use grapples that often. Plus,
having a new ride around will make trips faster. See the 24/7 Locations and
Upgrades sectional for a walkthrough of all the choices.
=================================================================================
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Chapter V: The Rescue
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
=================================================================================
Mission 1: Tailing Suspect Cop
Goal: Tail the cop
I hate these missions. Try to stay between the two white bars on your tail meter
on the top right corner of the screen. This is a very long tailing mission and
involves many turns. Eventually you will complete it and it leads you to the
next mission.
=================================================================================
Mission 2: Bum Encounter
Goal: Fight the bums
Start by fighting the guy with the broken bottle in his hand. He can be defeated
with straight punches and kicks and is fairly easy to kill. After he is done,
move on to the other guy without the weapon. He can be defeated with punches or
kicks. Watch out for the stove, because if you hit it you lose tons of health.
Other than that, these two bums are fairly easy. When they are defeated, another
bum comes out to fight you. It (can't tell if it is a man or a woman) is vicious
and attacks with a slap-like attack. It will take a good combo to get her
stunned. When she is stunned, make sure you get a finishing move on to lower her
health very fast. Eventually she will drop and you will win.
=================================================================================
Mission 3: Meeting Rafferty
Goal: Meet Rafferty
Upgrade your fighting skills and get the gun upgrades and then follow the map to
the green arrow. The mission is complete when you enter the circle.
=================================================================================
Mission 3: (Alternate) The Peking Duck
Goal: Drive to the location
Continue to upgrade and then drive to the green arrow on the map to complete the
mission.
=================================================================================
Mission 4: Butcher Shop Rush
Goal: Rush to the butcher shop
You have 2:15 to get to the butcher shop. Take Crenshaw Boulevard and then turn
right onto Pico Boulevard. Eventually make the left onto Hoover Street and then
a right onto Olympic Boulevard. This will lead you directly to the green circle
to complete the mission.
=================================================================================
Mission 5: On the Chopping Block
Goal: Fight the butchers
Fight the butcher with the axe first. Only take on 1 at a time since they are
deadly with their weapons. Punch the guy with the axes and he will fall pretty
easily. Then use punches or kicks to attack the guys with the knives. Again,
these guys are fairly easy to defeat. Now it gets harder as three more men rush
you at once. Use quick combos to stun the guys, one at a time, and then use
finishing moves to finish them off. Once they are all dead, one final guy
attacks you. He is vulnerable to combos that are quick. Eventually you will stun
him. Use your most powerful finishing move to lower his health. When he drops
you pass the mission.
=================================================================================
Mission 6: Slaughterhouse
Goal: Kill the butchers
As you begin this mission, whip out your guns and fire at the guy directly in
front of you. Eventually 2 men will come in on the screen via the meat conveyor
belt. After they are wasted, go to the door near the conveyor belt and kill the
guy near the door. Go through and kill the 2 guards near the big meat basket.
Walk near the next basket and kill yet another butcher. Walk into the door and
take note of the medical kit on the wall if you need it. Kill the butcher near
the door. A guard will come just as you near the conveyor belt. Waste him and
the 3 on the conveyor belt. Finally, kill the 3 butchers ambushing you from the
door with the green triangle. Run into it to complete the mission.
=================================================================================
Mission 7: Finale: The Great Escape
Goal: Escape the attackers
You have to evade these attackers in a slow pick-up truck. At first they fire
and pump your car full of lead, so drive as fast as possible to rid of the first
car. When you are free of the gunfire, keep making turns to lose the second car.
The more turns you make the faster you lose them. I DO NOT recommend shooting
back at them as they have high power rifles with a huge rate of fire that tear
the pick-up apart.
=================================================================================
Mission X: Bonus Cruisin'
Goal: Get a free upgrade
You should have two choices of an upgrade to get, a new car or a new grapple. I
recommend getting the second new car because I do not use grapples that often.
Plus, having a new ride around will make the trips even faster than with the
first and second car. See the 24/7 Locations and Upgrades sectional for a
walkthrough of all the choices.
=================================================================================
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Chapter VI: House of Wu
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
=================================================================================
Mission 1: Off to Wu's Place
Goal: Drive to Wu's
You should have ALL of the gun upgrades for this chapter and those beyond. The
hollow point ammo does a lot of damage and saves tons of time and frustration.
Also, I recommend learning every dragon finishing move to help defeat some
people in this chapter. When you are done upgrading, drive to the green arrow on
the map to complete this mission.
=================================================================================
Mission 2: Up the Food Chain
Goal: Gain access into the restaurant
This mission is filled with surprises around every corner to beware of. Start
out by walking and KOing the guard directly through the door. Turn right and KO
the guard there as well. Turn left and KO yet another guard. Go straight towards
the back of this next room and then KO the guard when you see him. Turn to your
right and KO the waiter that comes into the area where you are. Finally, KO the
guard near the green triangle and enter it to pass the mission.
=================================================================================
Mission 3: Kitchen Inspection
Goal: Fight all the cooks
You start out having to fight 3 chefs. Use quick combos to knock them silly and
then use a dragon finishing move to knock their health down quickly. After you
defeat all the chefs, 2 more enter with swords. Defeat them again with combos
while keeping them from both attacking you at once. Once they too have been
vanquished, a zombie enters. Kick the zombie into the stove into it explodes.
The zombie cannot be harmed from regular attacks, so you must keep hitting it
into the fire of the stove. When he drops the mission is over.
=================================================================================
Mission 4: Seeking Ancient Wu
Goal: Go through the dungeon to find WU
I suggest having at least the flashlight upgrade for your gun because it is kind
of dark in the dungeon. Also, hollow point ammo helps to kill things much
quicker than with the regular ammo. Now this game was awesome until they had to
throw in the zombie crap. This makes the game very unrealistic. Anyway, begin by
going straight until you see a zombie appear. Kill it and then go to the
direction where it came from. Keep wasting any zombies that appear on your way
to the first intersection. Here, turn left and kill the zombie that appears.
When you can turn go right and straight for a little bit. Eventually, 2 zombies
appear when you turn to the right. Kill them and then continue straight to kill
yet another zombie. Straight again and then keep going until you see the green
triangle. Approach it slowly and waste all 6 zombies that come to greet you.
Yes, 6 zombies come after you. After they are dead run to the green triangle
because 3 more zombies come. If you are quick enough you can make it to the
triangle and not have to fight the last 3 zombies.
=================================================================================
Mission 4: (Alternate) Tunnel Vision
Goal: Make it to the end of the tunnel
This mission is relatively easy to complete. There is no real way to describe
how to beat this level, but he it goes. RUN, RUN, RUN as fast as you can. Run
and shoot the zombies that are in your way. Do not stop because a large spike
follows behind you. Just keep firing at the zombies and keep running until you
reach the stairs.
=================================================================================
Mission 5: Inner Demons
Goal: Shoot the demon heads
This mission is very long if you do not have the hollow point ammo so I
recommend getting that upgrade before this mission. When you begin the mission
has 3 demon heads. Shoot them and when they all line up in a row, be ready to
jump out of the way so they do not hurt you. After all three are killed, 4 more
come out. Kill these the same way as the previous three. After they are dead 5
new ones appear. Kill all of these and then 1 "boss demon head," for lack of a
better term, comes out. Keep shooting him and use the same techniques as the
other demon heads. When the final head drops the mission is over.
=================================================================================
Mission 6: Die Die My Concubine
Goal: Kill the 2 demon women
This is where having all the dragon finishing combos will come in handy. These
two demon women are on fire and are difficult to defeat without the finishing
combos, so do not even bother without them. The demon women are surrounded by
something like fire, so DO NOT USE GRAPPLES! Use quick punch and kick combos to
get them stunned and either use finishing combos to quickly lower their health
or try to knock them into the fire. When near the edge of the ring, however, the
demon women can vanish and then reappear in the center of the ring. Eventually
both will fall and you'll have a short time to rest your fingers during the
cinema for the next battle.
=================================================================================
Mission 7: Finale: Nightmare
Goal: Kill the dragon
The dragon goes around in a counter-clockwise circle around the ring that you
are in. Keep firing at it until it brings its head from the lava. Shoot for a
second or two and then run from his fire breath. After the dragon breath, the
dragon falls back into the lava and smashes his tail into the ground, so be
careful of that. Eventually he will fall and you will be done with this chapter.
=================================================================================
Mission X: Bonus Cruisin'
Goal: Get a free upgrade
You should have two choices of an upgrade to get, a new car or a new grapple. I
recommend getting the final sports car because, once again, I do not use
grapples that often. See the 24/7 Locations and Upgrades sectional for a
walkthrough of all the choices.

=================================================================================
Mission 1: In the Driver's Seat
Goal: Drive to the bar
By now you should have all of the gun upgrades and all of the finishing moves.
If you do not, you should get all of them now. When you are ready, follow the
map to the green arrow to complete the mission.
=================================================================================
Mission 2: Pressing Rafferty
Goal: Fight the bar keeper
This bar keeper can be defeated with quick combos of punches and kicks. When you
finally get him stunned, use your dragon finishing moves to quickly lower his
health. Eventually he will drop and you will move on to the next mission.
=================================================================================
Mission 3: On Rafferty's Tail
Goal: Tail Rafferty's car
This mission is also very long and boring. Try to keep between the two white
bars on the tail meter. After a long tail, you complete this mission.
=================================================================================
Mission 3: (Alternate) FBI Goons
Goal: Fight the 2 FBI agents
Each FBI agent has a taser. Keep the two separated so you can fight only one at
a time. Use combos of punches and kicks to stun him and then unleash one of your
finishing moves. After one drops, defeat the other the same way as the first.
=================================================================================
Mission 4: Escaping the Feds
Goal: Escape the pursuing federal agents
Take off immediately and make as many turns as possible at as high a speed as
possible to lose the agents. You can try to shoot out their tires, however, they
ripped my car apart with their assault weapons.
=================================================================================
Mission 5: Rafferty's Date
Goal: Tail Rafferty's car
Once again stay between the two white bars on the tail meter. Eventually you
will make it to the end of this long mission. Be aware of the fact that Rafferty
also has a decent car that has good speed, so don't lose him.
=================================================================================
Mission 6: Eavesdropping
Goal: Break into the warehouse
Start out by turning around the corner and KO the guard there. Left of the
crates is another guard to KO. Turn right and head to the huge silver doors.
Turn left at them and KO the approaching guard. Move to where the guard was and
avoid the large orange cans (sewage cans?). KO the guard just beyond them and
then go around the corner and go right. KO the guard and then again go right and
there is a guard to the right. After KOiing the guard, head towards the green
triangle but stop near the large protrusion of crates. Eventually a guard will
appear so KO him and head up where he was. When you come near the end of the
protrusion of the crates, turn left and KO the guard who is smoking. Go into the
green triangle and you complete the mission.
=================================================================================
Mission 7: Finale: Father's Killer
Goal: Kill all of Rocky's men
This is a huge gunfight, so your fully upgraded guns will come in handy. Just
keep on firing at everyone on the ground and your balcony. Take cover near the
pillar when you need to and keep your guns a blazin'. Watch for the sneaky man
at the end who appears to the left of where you are.
=================================================================================
Mission X: Bonus Cruisin'
Goal: Get a free upgrade
You should only have one choice of an upgrade to get, a new grapple. See the

Goal: Tail Rocky's girlfriend
Stay within the two white bars of the tail meter, as always. Eventually this
will be over and you can progress towards the end of the game.
=================================================================================
Mission 2: Back to the Gulag
Goal: Race back to the Gulag
Take the road you are on, Sunset Boulevard, all the way to the Gulag. Easy
mission.
=================================================================================
Mission 3: Rocky's Trap
Goal: Fight Rocky's men
Keep 2 of the 3 of Rocky's men away so you can fight one at a time. Use combos
of punches and kicks to stun them and then unleash the dragon finishing moves on
them to lower their health rapidly. Sometimes when they are down they can be
stomped on with A if you are quick enough.
=================================================================================
Mission 3: (Alternate) Chopper Ambush
Goal: Blow up the helicopter
As soon as the aiming reticule hits the helicopter, fire away. Don't let up on
your trigger finger and soon the helicopter is a huge fireball.
=================================================================================
Mission 4: Driving to the Airport
Goal: Drive to the airport
Follow the map to the green arrow to complete the mission.
=================================================================================
Mission 5: Hangar Showdown
Goal: Shoot the commandos
Just keep on firing at the commandoes and make it to the end of the mission.
There are two health packs on the walls to use when you need them. Also, watch
out for the 3 man ambush at the end near the green triangle.
=================================================================================
Mission 6: Jetting Away
Goal: Destroy General Kim's plane
This mission is fairly easy as long as you do not run into any of the planes
that appear on the runway as General Kim tries to make his escape. Keep firing
at the jet until it blows up. This takes a long time, but it is pretty easy to
do. Prepare for the final battle.
=================================================================================
Mission 7: Finale: Puppet Master
Goal: Fight General Kim
This is the toughest mission in the game, as it should be. Defeating General Kim
will yield you the best ending to the game. Start by moving in and unleashing a
quick punch and kick combo and immediately back off. Keep up this hit-and-run
tactic until he drops. During the fight you MUST block (white button) in order
to survive. General Kim has nasty combos that will level you very fast if you do
not block them. Also, stay away from the fire because it hurts you and not the
General. This mission is very hard and my flailing technique will take some time
to work. It took my many tries to complete this mission and it you will probably
lose more times than you win with this technique. If you can defeat General Kim,
the "best" ending of the game is unlocked.
=================================================================================
ALTERNATE STRATEGY
=================================================================================
This is an alternate strategy for Finale: Puppet Master and created by
Levihopper.
When facing General Kim simply stand in the center of the ring of fire and DON'T
move your character unless to face General Kim. Kim will slowly approach you, and
as he does, grapple him. 1/2 the time he will block the grapple and the other half
you will drop him. This strategy is much better than the flail technique because
once your timing is right General Kim will not be able to hit you often except
when he counters the grapple and bites you.

=================================================================================
Mission 1: Strip Club Detour
Goal: Drive to the strip club
By now you should have all of the finishing moves. If you do not, you should get
all of them now. When you are ready, follow the map to the green arrow to
complete the mission.
=================================================================================
Mission 2: Cat Fight
Goal: Fight all the strippers
There are 6 strippers to take care of. This is very easy because all you have to
do is use punches or kicks in a combo to get them stunned and then use your
dragon finishing moves to kill them quickly. After all 6 are gone, a man comes
to join the fray. He is even easier than the strippers, so just knock him out to
pass the mission.
=================================================================================
Mission 3: Cruising for Lola
Goal: Drive to the arrow
Follow the map to the green arrow to complete the mission.
=================================================================================
Mission 3: (Alternate) Lola Rush
Goal: Drive to Lola
Immediately turn around and turn left onto Oxford Street. When the turn comes
up, turn right onto Melrose Street and follow the road to the green arrow.
=================================================================================
Mission 4: The Driving Test
Goal: Race to the green arrow
Take Burnside to Metropolitan to Cursan and then to Colgate. Then turn right
onto Ogden and left onto 3rd Street. Finally turn right onto La Cienega and head
to the green arrow. Mission complete.
=================================================================================
Mission 5: Police Getaway
Goal: Escape the police
Immediately speed up and slam on the brakes to make the cops fly ahead of you.
When they are in front of you, aim for their tires. Now drive down the street
and you should be clear of the cops who cannot get enough speed to catch you.
=================================================================================
Mission 5: (Alternate) Five Laps
Goal: Beat Lola around the course
I recommend getting a fairly fast car for this mission. Peel-out at the
beginning of the race. When you catch up to Lola, spin her out of control. Or,
if you have a fast enough car, just burn her the whole race. This is easy as
long as you do not get stuck on the obstacles.
=================================================================================
Mission 6: Busting Lola
Goal: Fight Lola
This is a fun fight so long as you have all your finishing moves. Keep doing
quick punch and kick combos to get her stunned. When she is stunned, use a
finishing move to knock some of her health down. Repeat this for the whole time
until she drops. Be careful of her cartwheel attack. When you see her take a few
steps back keep kicking to knock her out of her cartwheel. This attack
immediately knocks you down and she keeps doing it until you counter it.
=================================================================================
Mission 7: Finale: Sniper Redux
Goal: Kill the sniper
Fire at the sniper as soon as the mission starts. When you hit him he will move
to another window, so only attack when he is still. This mission is very easy if
you have hollow point ammo. It will only take two shots to kill the sniper with
the hollow point ammo, so get that upgrade if you do not already have it.
=================================================================================
Mission X: Bonus Cruisin'
Goal: Get a free upgrade
You should only have one choice of an upgrade to get, a new grapple. See the
24/7 Locations and Upgrades sectional for a walkthrough of the dojo.

=================================================================================
Mission 2: Chasing Assassins
Goal: Catch the assassins truck
Catch up to the truck with the assassins in it and fire at the back to kill the
men who are hanging out the back to kill you. Once these men are killed, keep
firing at the truck until it explodes and the driver comes out with his hands
up. Mission complete.
=================================================================================
Mission 3: A Race Downtown
Goal: Drive to the arrow
Have a fast car before you begin this mission. When the mission starts,
immediately turn around and take the exit that is to the left (that was
originally behind you). Then get onto Union Avenue and eventually turn right
onto 7th Street. Finally, make a left onto Grand Street and drive straight to the
green blip on the map.
=================================================================================
Mission 4: Bank Standoff
Goal: Make it to the entrance of the bank
There are a total of 10 men to kill here. Take cover behind the cop cars for
these men and then approach the bank entrance for the last 2 terrorists. The
last terrorist that comes out of the bank entrance has a hostage, so be careful
not to shoot the hostage.
=================================================================================
Mission 5: Lobby Firefight
Goal: Kill all the terrorists
This mission has about 13 or so terrorists to kill, plus 4 that are behind the
teller windows that are on each side of the room. Kill all the men until you
hear a thump sound of the grenade launcher. Find out where it came from and then
shoot the silver opening of the teller window to kill the guard behind it. Keep
shooting and killing until all four waves are done and all four men are dead
behind the teller windows.
=================================================================================
Mission 5: (Alternate) Going Up
Goal: Make it up three floors
This mission is not that difficult, although some terrorists can do some heavy
damage with their weapons. It is hard to give a walkthrough of this mission so
just keep walking and shooting everything that comes into your aiming reticule.
When you find the steps there is the way up and a health pack. You must clear
out three levels loaded with these heavily-armed terrorists.
=================================================================================
Mission 6: Hostage Crisis
Goal: Make it to the office
This mission is very hard because of the massive amounts of guards as well as
all the hostages that get in the way. Start out and turn right, where 1 guard
awaits his death from you. Walk into the office section and past the first set
of cubicles. To the right is a hostage with a terrorist. A good way to kill the
terrorist and not the hostage is by using slow-mo dive. Along with all the gun
upgrades you can kill the guard, not get shot, and save the hostage. Anyway, go
where the guard and hostage were and as far right as possible. Eventually a
guard will fire at you with another hostage. Slow-mo dive and kill him. There is
a med kit on the wall if you need it. Proceed to the door where 3 terrorists
come to try to kill you. Waste them and proceed into the hallway. Here 2 more
terrorists await your bullets. Turn right and 2 more guards try to kill you, but
get killed themselves. Enter the office space and kill 2 more guards. Directly
ahead is a med kit on the wall for you to grab. Right of that kit is a terrorist
with a hostage. Kill him and then go right and then straight. Be careful and
kill the 2 guards that are above the cubicles. Go right again and kill the guard
with a hostage. There is a med kit here. Take it and go left where another
hostage is. Head to the door where 3 guards greet you. Waste them and proceed
into the hallway. Here 2 more guards greet you. Keep going and 3 guards attack
you (2 have hostages). Keep firing and killing until you see the elevator with 3
guards and 2 hostages. When you complete this mission you should have many badge
points and a decent good cop rating from all the terrorists you killed and
hostages you saved.
=================================================================================
Mission 7: Finale: Bad Politics
Goal: Fight General Kim
This fight is no where near as hard as it is in Chapter VIII, however, General
Kim is still no pushover. Use quick punch and kick combos and then back off.
Keep whittling away at his health using this technique. Also, block his combos
after you have been hit by pressing the white button. Finally, avoid his
grapples that he loves to throw in over and over again. After he is defeated,
you unlock a movie and the "poor" ending.

Mission 2: Kinks in the Path
Goal: Sneak in to Rocky's mansion
Walk straight to the statue of the dog. Turn right and KO the waitress. Turn
left and then KO the man and proceed left again. KO the waitress and then go
straight until you can turn right. Turn left and KO guy and go right and KO guy
asleep on the chair. Turn and run past the roped off rooms with the women in
them and BE VERY CAREFUL OF THE THINGS ON THE GROUND. There are two men asleep
on chairs and if you touch the boxes on the ground they will awaken and catch
you. After that, turn left and KO the final guard. Mission complete.
=================================================================================
Mission 3: Freak Show
Goal: Fight all the freaks
The 3 bondage chicks in this mission are a lot harder than the second part of
this mission. Use combos to stun them and then use a finishing move to lower
their health. Repeat until all are dead. After they disappear, 6 men come in to
try to kill you. They are very easy, easier than the women, so destroy them all
to pass the mission.
=================================================================================

Goal: Drive to the green blip on map

=================================================================================
Mission 6: Chinatown Showdown
Goal: Kill all the commandoes
There are about 27 guards to take care of in this mission. Using the Armored car
as cover, kill everyone that stands in your path. There is a health pack on the
pole when you need it.
=================================================================================
Mission 7: Finale: Last Stand
Goal: Kill Rocky
Use quick combos to try to get Rocky stunned. I emphasize "try" to get Rocky
stunned because he throws dirt in your eyes when he begins to lose. Just keep
beating him up and eventually he will drop. An ending movie ensues and you get
the "average" ending. Hooray, you just beat the entire game!

================================================================================
Upgrade 1: Dual-Target Aim
Goal: Destroy 8 targets
Avoid civilian targets (3)
This is very easy. As soon as this starts, fire away at every target. You should
not have any problem destroying 8 targets.
================================================================================
Upgrade 2: Aim Assistance
Goal: Achieve 7 neutralizing shots
Avoid civilian targets (3)
As soon as the mission begins, go into precision aim mode. If you noticed
everything will seem like it is in slow-motion, that's because it is. Aim
assistance slows what is happening so that you can get a clearer shot. This is
only temporary, however, so after every shot you must reload and then re-enter
precision aim mode to slow down the time again. Aim for the green circles on the
targets that are located on the arms, legs, and groin area.
================================================================================
Upgrade 3: Fast Reload
Goal: Neutralize or destroy 10 targets
Avoid civilian targets (1)
Avoid head shots
There are a total of 12 targets in this mission, so there is slight room for
error. I recommend getting all neutralizing shots by using the precision time
mode's slow-mo shots. This is a lot easier than firing to destroy the targets
and lowers the chances that you will hit the head or a civilian target.
================================================================================
Upgrade 4: Fast Aim Speed
Goal: Neutralize or destroy 12 targets
Avoid civilian targets
Avoid head shots
This mission is easiest to do using precision aim mode's slow-mo shots. This
will allow you to hit every target and give you time to aim and not hit any
civilian targets.
================================================================================
Upgrade 5: Laser Sight
Goal: Neutralize 10 targets
Avoid civilian targets
Avoid head shots
Use the precision aim mode to slow down the time to give you a better shot.
After you neutralize one target reload and then re-enter precision aim mode so
that you slow down time again to make an easy shot again. There are 12 targets,
so you have some room for error.
================================================================================
Upgrade 6: Flashlight
Goal: Neutralize or destroy 10 targets
Avoid civilian targets
Avoid head shots
This mission is completed easily in auto-aim mode. As soon as your aiming
reticule lands on a target and no civilian targets are present, blast away. The
only time you have to be careful is when civilian targets pop up right in front
of you followed by regular targets. There are 12 targets, so you have some room
for error.
================================================================================
Upgrade 7: Scope
Goal: Perform 10 head shots
Avoid civilian targets
There are 13 targets, so you can miss 3. ALWAYS use precision aim mode and after
every shot reload and re-enter precision aim mode.
================================================================================
Upgrade 8: Top Accuracy
Goal: Neutralize or destroy 12 targets
Achieve 50% accuracy
Avoid civilian targets
This mission, like most of the other missions, should only be done in precision
aim mode. Aim for the neutralizing shot and then reload and re-enter precision
aim mode so that time slows again.
================================================================================
Upgrade 9: Hollow point ammo
Goal: Neutralize or destroy 15 targets
Avoid civilian targets
Avoid head shots
This is very hard to complete and will take you a few tries to master. ALWAYS
use precision aim mode to keep the targets moving slow for a better shot. Also,
a good rule-of-thumb is to aim just ahead of the target so that you can hit it
right in the arm for a neutralizing shot. This ammo does double the damage and
only takes one or two shots to kill someone.

VI. FAQ
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Q. Can I post your FAQ on my website?
A. I do not have a problem with people posting my FAQ as long as my two
conditions are met: 1) You e-mail me and I give you permission to post my
FAQ on your website; 2) You give credit where credit is due (List me as
the author).
2. Q. I cannot beat a mission with the strategy that you gave me. What do I do?
A. Either tell me whether it is clear or not and whether any mistakes are in
my walkthrough. Sometimes there are multiple ways to beat a mission which
I will not include, either because my strategy will be sufficient or
because I am too lazy. Finally, I am only human so errors happen. E-mail
me with the errors and I will correct the errors.
3. Q. I found an error in your FAQ, so how do I contact you?
A.
[email protected] is my e-mail address that I check daily, so send me
where the error occurred and what the error is.
