===============================================================================
I've been waiting for this game for a long time and finally its here. Mafia is
another game from the developers of Hidden & Dangerous. You live the life of a
gangster, stealing cars, shooting etc and having fun. I decided to write a guide
for the game...
Everything is my opinion and you can disagree with something on the guide. Also i
need a lot of help on this guide so please, anything you would like to add or
correct here, email me.
The system requirement for the game to run smoothly are:
- Pentium III or AMD K7
- 64/128 MB ram
- Graphics card that supports Direct 3D with at least 16 Mb ram

-Version 1.3
~~~
First of all i would like to apologise for the lack of updates over the last month.
I didn't update because my PC refused to run Mafia! I tried several methods to make
it work but i don't know what happened. But since i received a hella lots of emails,
i will just update this to add user submissions until i get my damn PC to run Mafia
again. I also added the search feature - just read the note at the beggining of the
FAQ. And a quick note: If your question hasn't been answered its beacause of the
following reasons;
1) It's already answered in the FAQ somewhere.
2) It's a technical question which i cannot answer.
3) It's a stupid or "unanswerable" question.
4) I missed it by mistake.

===============================================================================
3. Mini-Review (Parousiasi)
===============================================================================
Mafia is a breathtaking experiance in the eartly 1930s with old cars and nice
gangster shootout. If you watched movies like the Godfather before then thats
exactly how the game is... Packed with lots of features such as stealing a car
in the road, shooting wyres, a free ride mode where you do anything you want
there, lots of guns and cars, nice damage and character models, advanced police
and enemies AI and many more. You will love Mafia and if your PC is not strong
enough to run it then wait for the Playstation 2/Xbox version...
Graphics: Detailed to maximum! Amazing damage marks on cars, the characters and
animations are very well detailed and the textures and awesome. A trully graphical
masterpiece. If you have a nice 3D card such as Geforce 2 then you will enjoy
Mafia at its maximum.
9.5./10
Sound: Nice backround music and the voice acting is actually decent. The city sounds
are real such as the car horns and the voices and the atmosphere in general.
8/10
Gameplay: Tons of features and things to do. You will enjoy every minute of it.
First of all, you drive old cars and you can still every single car. You have
a lot of weapons such as the Tommy gun, Sniper Rifle and the baseball bat and
you are going through a very well detailed story mode with action and shooting
and intense driving. Neato!
10/10
Lifespan: Its hard to beat all the missions but its rewarding (eg the free ride
extreme mode). Plus the free ride mode {which it allows you to have a free roam
around the city and practically do anything you want like in GTA3} is fun if
you want some action. Then we have the multiplayer patch which its supposed to be
released really soon!
9/10
Overall: 9/10
===============================================================================
4. Story (Ipothesi)
===============================================================================
"The hero, Tommy, is a cabdriver who is glad to have a job during the depression.
His happiness, however, does not last long. By a freak chance, he managed to
save some members of a Mafia Family from being killed by hit men from another
Mafia gang. Three Mafiosi, who were being chased, had jumped into his cab and
ordered him to shake off their pursuers ... and Tommy, thanks to his excellent
skills as a driver, managed to do just that.
While the rescued gangsters, seeing what a capable driver he is, offer him a job
their boss, Don Salieri, the killers working for Don Morelli only thirst for revenge.
This leads to Tommy losing his cab under dramatic circumstances, and thus also
losing his livelihood. Only by seeking refuge with Don Salieri's gang can he save
his life. Visualizing himself in the dismal position of having to stand in some
soup-line, he accepts the job offered to him by the Family.
In the beginning, Tom likes his new job as a gangster. t gives him an opportunity
to take revenge on Morelli's men, he is never short of money, and all he has to
do is occasionally give someone a bit of a warning or a quick thrashing. People
in the city respect him. He meets a girl, whom he eventually marries and and
has a child with.
Gradually, he starts to see the other side of his work: murders, assassinations,
dangerous shootouts, and hight-speed car chases in which the smallest miscalculation
can mean death. The real horror of his job gets through to him only when he is
ordered to kill people who he knows personally, and who he likes.  He is asked to
kill an accountant working for the Family who co-operated with the police in order
to save his loved ones, and then kill his own wife's friends.... Tommy is by now a
respected man in the Family, and therefore nobody suspects that he might not carry
out his assignments to the letter, even though sometimes he does just that. However,
nothing lasts forever."
===============================================================================
5. Characters (Iroes)
===============================================================================
---
Tommy Angelo
The main character of the game. Tommy used to be a cab driver, but because of
some unpleasant circumstances, he was forced to join the Mafia. He’s quite a
nice guy, but his difficult childhood and the hard circumstances of the thirties
modified his set of values somewhat. And so he is prepared to do things that are
not quite acceptable or understandable to an ordinary person. His conscience,
however, does wake up from time to time and so sometimes he acts in an entirely
unexpected way...
---
---
Norman
A typical representative of an American detective from the school of hard knocks.
He is an unpleasant and badly groomed lout who gives the impression that he despises
everyone around him. Tom tells his life story to Norman, which can’t be at all
easy for him.
---
---
Don Salieri
The Boss of the Family that Tom is working for. Salieri is a man who's lived through
a lot, and there aren't many things that make him lose his cool. He is one of those
Mafiosi for whom the money wasn't the main reason for building up his position.
Although he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, his first course of action
is not necessarily the most violent or aggressive one. He is friendly, but when it
comes down to it, he can get really angry. His motto is 'business first' and
friendship must be put aside sometimes.
---
---
Paulie
Tom's gang-leader. He’s a small guy, full of energy. He is a choleric and
sometimes behaves quite unpredictably. However, when he takes a liking to someone,
he is the truest friend there can be and is always reliable - if he isn't busy
causing you some trouble, that is. Paulie and Tom like each other immediately
and become good friends; they work together quite often.
---
---
Sam
Another of Tom's colleagues. He is a big, friendly guy, with a nice smile. In
spite of his size, he is timid and a little clumsy, and doesn't talk much. He
often works with Tom and Paulie, and they are good friends.
---
---
Frank
Frank is Don Salieri's best friend, associate and advisor. His main concern is
family finance and the legal side of business. He is well suited to this. At
first sight he doesnt seem to belong among these criminals, as he is a very
quiet incospicuous nice guy. He does his work mainly because of an attachment to
Don Salieri, as well as their mutant past. They grew up together in a poor quarter
and thanks to Don he gained most of what he has, so he cant just turn his back on
him. If he'd grown up in any other place he would certainly be a succesful lawyer
or businessman.
---
---
Vincenzo
He has worked for the family for a long time and it means everything to him. It's
strange that such a good guy like Vincenzo found his greatest love in guns, but
thats why he takes care of Salieri's arsenal of weapons and selects the best
equipment for a mission.
---
---
Ralph
Ralph is excellent when it comes to dealing with vehicles. He can take apart,
repair, improve and then rebuild whatever he gets his hands on and thats about
it. His world revolves around anything on four wheels, and he knows little
about anything else. Thats why he'll only talk about vehicles, though even
conversations about vehicles arent easy for him.
---
---
Morello
Salieri's main advensary, where Salieri opts for negotiation, Morello uses an
army of men with Thompsons.
Where Salieri punishes treachery, Morello indiscriminately shows his might.
Beacuse of this he has a big influence in the icty, which he is trying to
extend into Salieri family territory. He is greatly helped by his brother Sergio.
However, he ultimately destroys everything he's involved in through his overly
brutal behavior.
---
---
Lucas Bertone
Lucas is a pleasant Italian of middle age, a car mechanic for the rich. He is
very big-hearted even though, in view of the services he provides to the Mafia,
he is no saint
NOTE: Although not part of the Salieri family its often worth visiting Lucas when
you have spare time as unlike Ralph, Luca's work means that he has access to some
of the more luxurious and exotic cars in the city.

6. Basics - General Tips (Vasika)
===============================================================================
---+---
MAIN MENU:
Intro: Select this option to replay the intro to the game.
Tutorial: Choose this option to learn how to control Tommy and the basic functions
in the game.
New game: Select this option to start a new game.
Load game: Mafia automatically saves the player's progress after completing certain
important tasks. Automatic Saving is indicated during the game by an on-screen
message. Each player's profile has seperately saved positions, allowing several
players to play on one PC. After opening the menu, the last saved position is auto-
matically selected. Information about the selected save game can be displayed at the
bottom of the window.
Free Ride: Selecting Free ride will allow you to drive freely around Lost Heaven
and the surrounding countryside. You can use the options in the menu to select the
density of pedestrians, traffic and police.
NOTE: Not all of the Free Ride options are available at the start of the game.
When Free Ride is fully unlocked, you can select any car that you have collected
during the game to roam freely through the city. You can collect money as a taxi
driver or by fighting gangsters and destroying cars. With the money you can pay
to heal yourself at the city hospital, repair your car at Bertone's or buy weapons
at yellow Pete's gunshop.
Free ride extreme: This mode becomes unlocked after you complete the single player
game. You can roam the city without any police patrols and complete different
tasks to enable you to receive special cars like hotrods. These cars are then
added to your garage and can be used in the normal Free Ride mode.
Carcyclopedia: Here you can view all the vehicles that are available in the game
and their specifications. Scroll though the list of makes and models on the left
hand side of the screen and information about the selected vehicle will be displayed
in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.
You can view the vehicles in more detail by pressing "H" key to enter show mode.
Options: In the options menu you can adject the controls and change the graphics
and sound set-up according to your preferences and computer's performance.
Credits: Select this option to display the credits for the game.
Change Profile: Here you can change to another saved profile if one has been
previously saved on your computer. You are also able to create a new profile
or delete an old profile as you wish.
NOTE: Deleting a profile will mean that the save games accociated with it will
also be deleted.
Quit: Exit the game and return to Windows.
---+---
---+---
CONTROLS:
The default controls are the best in my opinion and i am going to use them in the
walkthrough. If you've changed them then its your problem.

Backwards - Cursor down
Left - Cursor Left
Right - Cursor Right
Toggle Run/ Walk - Caps lock
Walk - Right Shift (Hold down whilst moving)
Turn on the spot - Right Alt (Whilst moving)

Horn - K
Look Left - ,
Look Right - .
Use Clutch - X
Change Camera - C
Replace (repositions the car during races) - Num pad 0
Also for First Person Shooters fans (like me), you CAN use the WASD configuration.
It is in the defaults. "E" Is Jump/Climb button and "Q" is the Crouch button.
---+---
---+---
MANEUVERING AROUND
Running/Walking: To run you just go forward. The "Caps Lock" button will toggle
the walk/run mode. While running, you can press and hold SHIFT to walk
Crouching: This is useful while in battle or when you can to sneak somewhere.
Pressing Ctrl (or "Q") will allow you to crouch. When you press and hold the crouch
button and then move forward, you will sneak. Sneaking is useful when you want to
go somewhere quietely without causing any trouble and drawing attention. Also when
crouch and shoot, your gun and aim will be more stable.
Jump/Climb: Press "Num Pad 0" or "E" to perform this command. You just jump. When
you have an object like a box or a higher ledge, you will climb it.
Side Roll: Double tapping left or right will make you to side roll. Side rolling
is useful when you are shooting and you dont want to be hit. Use it wisely.
---+---
---+---
SHOOTING & WEAPONS
Fire: Press the left mouse button to fire. If the weapon can be charged (like the
baseball bat) you can hold the left mouse button and charge and hit someone harder.
Reload: "L" reloads your weapon. Be careful though, when you already have a magazine
that has some bullets in, when you reload you are going to lose those bullets. Annoying
but its realistic ;).
Aiming: For some weapons, when you shoot, the aim mark will go up. Try practicing
aiming and shooting. If you crouch and aim its better. You can also aim from inside
the car if you are using a handgun weapon.
Cycle up & Down: Moving the mouse wheel up & down is extremely useful because you
change weapons very fast. So if your weapon is empty or you want to use a different
weapon you just do this quickly.
Hide Weapon: Hiding the weapon is good when police is around or you dont want other
gangsters to shoot you. Press "H" to hide your current weapon.
Droping Weapon: When you have 2 big weapons (like the shotgun) you cant hide them
both. One must be on your hand and the other one is your coat. Thats where droping is
useful. Doing so you drop your current weapon. So when police is coming near you,
you can drop it, wait for them to leave and then pick it up again!
---+---
---+---
DRIVING
Steal a car: Go next to any car and press and hold the right mouse button. You will
pick the lock and steal the car. Note that early in the game, some cars CANT be
stealed because you must learn how to steal them in the single player missions.
Shooting while in the car: Cycle through your weapons and choose a handgun. Press
the left mouse button. Now you can shoot and drive the same time! Note that you cant
shoot at the right side of the car simply because your hand is out at the left side.
The Speed Limiter: Pressing F5 allows you to turn on the speed limiter which it
stables the car to 40 miles per hour and you cant go more. This way is safer from
breaking the law (over 40 mph) when there are police cars around.
Horn: Press "K" to horn. Using the horn is useful when you want stupid people and
to get out of your way.
Manual Transmission: Press "M" to switch to the manual transmission. "A" moves
a gear up and "Z" a gear down. "X" is the clutch. Manual transmission is harder
than the automatic one (duh!) but its more fun. Not recommended to people who
never drived a real car before :).
---+---
---+---
POLICE
The cops are a real pain in the ass. Make sure that you dont break the law. Be
aware of the following things:
- Dont run more than 40 mph while in the city and there are cops around.
- Dont crash onto other cars when there are cops around.
- Dont steal a car when there are cops around.
- No passing with the red lights.
- Dont carry a gun (except the bat) when there are cops around. Hide it.
Policemen will do the following actions on you:
A) Fine you: You will see a notebook icon. You must STOP so you will be
fined (and pay).
B) Arrest you: If you dont stop while being told to stop, they will arrest you.
C) Shoot at you: If you shoot any gun, police will go after you and return fire.
Also if they are chasing you for a long time, you will be wanted by every single
police vehicle. But if you get our of your vehicle and steal a different one when
they are not there (the cops) you will slip away! You will see a confused cop icon.
---+---
---+---
MISSIONS
Objectives: Press F1 to view your objectives.
The TAB button: VERY useful. Pressing it, brings out the map which is extremely
useful! Remember it!
---+---
---+---
OTHER
Filling up: If you go to a gas station, you will fill up your car with... gas!
If you watch the down right icon, it shows when you need gas. Its like in the real
cars. Cars provided by Ralph will be full of gas when you first enter in them.
Public transport: You can enter trains and trolleys to move around the city.
Inventory: Pressing "I" allows you to gain access to your inventory so you can
see and use all the weapons you have and some other special things like hats.
---+---
Tips by Amul Gurung
- If you are using the Thompson gun, just tap and fire a single shot at once
because if you hold
the fire button, then your player cannot resist Newtons 3rd law of motion
(Every action has its equal reaction). While tapping the fire button you will
have stability on the gun.
- When shooting, shoot crouching cuz the enemy will have hard time getting you
right and it also increases the stability of your current weapon.
- With a knife, you can do a combo and finish the guy.
- Always kill the enemy who has better weapon. Like if you find two guys, one
with Pump action shotgun and another with Colt 1911, you should kill the guy
with the pump action shotgun.
- Sawed-off shotgun can kill instantly only if you are close to the enemy. Like
if you are very close to the enemy, he/she will get killed instantly and if you
are far from the enemy, all the bullets get scattered.
===============================================================================
7. Walkthrough (Apostoles)
===============================================================================
This is the walkthrough. It guides you through the missions and if you can't pass
a mission you can refer here and read my strategies and the player strategies as
well to help you go further in the game. Enjoy :)
NOTE: If you know an easier way or a different way on how to pass a mission (or
an objective in it) please email me and tell me so i can add it to the
"Player strategies" section of each mission of the walkthrough. Thank you!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 1: An offer you can't refuse (Ap1)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is it about: You are taking a break from your job as a taxi driver while
some Mafioso gangster chased by other gangsters come there and point their gun
at you telling you to get them out of this mess. You dont have a choise.
Objectives:
- Lose the tail
- Get The Gangsters to Salieri Bar
How to pass it:
1) First of all, you must avoid the other car. Easy. All you have to do is quickly
take a left when you begin and then start running. If they come close to you then try
some zig-zag patends and you will be able to avoid them. I dont find this very hard,
actually its very easy and if you cant pass it then you are a lousy gamer or a dumb.
Now you have to go to the Salieri bar. Just follow your compass. Since the bar is
at a different island, all you have to do is go over a bridge (either the big hanging
or the lifting bridge) to get to the bar. You can also press the TAB button to bring
out the map and study it to find where you need to go and plan the quickest roads.
There is no police so you can hit pedestrians, run as much as you want and of cource
pass the red traffic lights. No rush here though because you have a lot of time to
take them there. If you need help with driving then read the basic section and practice a
bit at the Free-Ride mode.
Player Strategies:
1) ~No player strategies on this mission yet~
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 2: The Running Man (Ap2)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is it about: Enjoy this mission and take it easy because its very quiet and
peaceful.
Its a normal day at work, you are supposed to deliver 5 fares as a taxi driver.
Delivering
them is easy but i will help you doing it the fastest way possible. When you take a
break,
you get attacked by the Morello men...
Objectives:
- Take your passenger to the Church downtown
- Take your passenger to the hospital in New Ark
- Take your passenger to the theater on Central island, by going across the Guiliano
bridge
- Take your passenger to the Pompeii bar in Hoboken
- Take your passenger to the department store car lot in little italy, by going
across the Guiliano bridge and then through the tunel
- Escape to Salieri bar. Take cover to the back alleys
How to pass it:
1) Delivering the first passenger is quite easy. But before i explain the quickest and
easiest way possible to deliver this fare i need to tell you some things you need to
be aware of. First do not step over the pedestrians. You will have to retry. Second
there are police patrols in this mission. Press F5 to turn on your speed limiter so
you wont have any problems with the police. Always look at your radar and When you
see a blue mark its a police car, try not to pass the traffic lights with red,
or crash into cars while the police car is around. Anyway to take the fare to the
church you just have to go to the lifting (south using the map) bridge. Press TAB
to bring  out the map and go there. Remember if the bridge is half-lifted then
you might flip  your car jumping it so just take it easy. You have a lot of time.
Now after the  bridge take the first left and then keep going straight and turn
right at the fourth turn. Keep going and after the hotel sign stop next to the
stairs next to the church. Easy. Remember though, dont step on to pedestrians
and be aware of the police.
To take your passanger to the hospital, just drive opposite the church and go
north. Take out map (TAB) and just drive to the hospital.
Now, the easiest way to take the woman to the theater is the Guiliano bridge
as mentioned in the introductions. Drive opposite the hospital and take the
first left then the first right. Keep driving and at the end of road turn left.
Now turn right and then left and here you are at the big hanging bridge! Drive
across the bridge and just watch your map and you will see the theater marked
on your map and just go and stop there. No running on to pedestrians!
The easiest way to go to the Pompeii bar is going across the lifting bridge.
Take the first turn right and at the end of the road (where there are 2 lines)
turn left. Now turn right and keep going straight. You will see a wooden ware-
house at your left so that means you are on the right palce. Go straight now
and take the first left after the warehouse. You will see a sign saying down-
town. That means you are onto the lifting bridge. Now simply drive and drive
until you go to the end of the road and turn left. Bring out your map. Keep
following the yellow line road and the Pompeii bar is around there. REMEMBER
dont step on to pedestrians!
Here just do it yourself. The map automatically marks the Guiliano bridge
and drive there. Then it marks the tunel and go there. Then stop to the place
where the fare wants you to.
You are now supposed to take a break. But the Morello gangsters still hate
you so they attack you. Run and go to the first alley. There is a green arrow
pointing it. It is hard to avoid the bullets if you dont know the trick. Well
all you have to do is zig-zag while running and you will avoid a lot of bullets.
Dont roll because obviously you wont go further. After you exit the first alley,
go across the street (keep zig-zagging) and after he Rose Bar go to the alley
there. There is a point in this second alley where you will have to choose
where to go, left or right. You just run right and keep going. Pass the third
alley (while still zig-zagging) and the Salieri Bar is there. Just run there.
Congratulations! You survived! ^_~

Mission 3: Molotov Party (Ap3)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is it about: Mr.Salieri helps you take revenge on the Morello gangsters.
You will have some Molotov bombs and a baseball bat. You go and thrash their
cars and teach them a lesson!
Objectives:
- Drive to the Morello Bar and destroy the cars parked in the back yard
- Return to Salieri's
How to pass it:
1) Use the tunel or the Guiliano bridge to get to the other island. Be a little
careful of the police and judt drive there. There is no time so just take it easy.
Once you get there (to the Morello bar), park your car on the road and then step
out of the car. Take out your baseball bat and walk to the back alley behind the car
park of the Morello bar. There is a fence door there. Use it to gain access to the
three cars you are supposed to wreck. Note that if you go front the front entrance,
the stupid guard there will detect you and "nail" you to the other gangsters in the
bar. Anyway once you get into the car park area that guard i was talking about is
there. In front of you. Crouch and press and hold the left mouse button while having
your bat out. You will charge it. Once its fully charged, move forward while crouching
and having the bat charged (you must hold CTRL and Left mouse button) and sneak
behind the guard. Now release both buttons (or just the left mouse button) and he
will die the same moment (the guard). Now quickly go to the first car and start
hitting it with the bat. You dont need to charge it because it will do the same
damage as a normal hit. Just tap it several times to destroy the first car (watch
the damage meter). You dont have to move from your position to leave your mark
to other positions of the car, just stay there until its wrecked. Do the same
to the second car. Now *quicly* switch to the Molotov cocktail and go away from
the third car, press and hold fire, aim the last car and then throw it! Go away
now and get in your car. You must do all these quick because if you are slow, the
gangsters from the bar will come out and shoot you. Drive back to Salieri. Dont
blow it while driving back and get arrested or killed etc because you have to do
it again.

Mission 4: Ordinary Routine (Ap4)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is it about: You finally start your life as a gangster. At this very first
"gangster" mission you have to drive Paulie and Sam to 3 locations to collect
protection money. Unfortunately at the last place, a motel, they guys there
refuse to pay the protection money and they shoot Paulie and Sam. Paulie manages
to get out while Sam stucks in there. You have to save Sam and then chase one
of the gangsters to get the money back...
Objectives:
- Go see Vincenzo to get a weapon
- Talk to Ralph
- Collect protection money
- Save Sam
- Kill the man who stole your money
How to pass it:
1) Go to the back door of the bar and find Ralph there. Speak to him and he will
introduce you to a new car. Don't enter the car yet. Go to Vincenzo. To find him,
just go outside the back yard and before you enter the road, climb the stairs and
enter the door to your left.
Now to get the protection money is easy. First of all get the car Ralph gave
you. Go near Paulie and Sam (or use the horn) and they will enter the car as well.
Go to the first location. There, Paulie and Sam will exit and go and get the money.
You just wait there. Once Paulie comes out, drive to the second location. Do the
same here as you did with the first location. Now you have to drive outside the
city limits to a motel. Try not to damage your car and slowly take the road towards
the countryside. Once you get there to the motel you will watch a cutscene.
Here is your first real shooting mission. Take out the gun Vincenzo gave you and
shoot the four tyres of the yellow car. Dont ask why, you will see later. Now go
behind the mission. Try not to shoot the dog to avoid wasting your bullets and
climb ("num Pad 0" Key) the box there and climb again the other boxes to get to
the second floor because the first floor's doors are locked. Open the toilet door
to your right and shoot the guy using the toilet on the head. Once he dies, get
his weapon and turn around. Press "Ctrl" to crouch and shoot the other 2 guys on
the stairs. If you are out of bullets then just use the other gun you took from
the toilet guy. Now keep going and shoot the third guy on the stairs. Collect
everything there and go downstairs. There are 3 people in the living room waiting
to kill you. Crouch and kill the first one once you get downstairs. Then move a
bit to the right and kill the other one. Always aim for the head and crouch and
stay close to the wall so they can miss. The third one is a bit tricky. He has
a Tommy gun as well which is extremely powerful. Dont kill him from this position.
Go forward to the other toilet room downstairs and enter it. Now turn around and
slowly get him in your sight and kill him. REMEMBER rolling left/right, crouching
and shooting on the head is very helpful. Now go and collect bullets and weapons
there. A fat guy without any weapons will come and try to "kill" you. Just shoot
him and go to the room with Sam. After the cutscene, that fat guy will grab a
weapon and try to kill you. Now its a 1vs1 fight. Roll off a bit and shoot him on
the head. If you took the Tommy gun from the guy at the bar then it will be easier.
Now after this OTHER cutscene, you see a guy taking the bag with the money and
leaving the motel. You rush to your car and enter it. Now you have to chase him.
He is slow of cource because you shot his tyres! Its a piece of cake. While driving
choose a hand gun. Drive to his right side and shoot him. Keep shooting him and he
will fall. You can also make him crash on cars and walls and it will be easier to
kill him this way.
Player Strategies:
1)
- Once you kill the guy in the bathroom upstairs, immediatly walk back out
into the hallway, and walk to the first closed door.
- Open the door, and walk to the bed. The thompson "tommy" gun will be
there. Pick it up.
- Once armed with the tommy gun, you can easily kill the guys in the
stairwells/ hallways donwstairs.
- Collect their guns and walk back upstairs.
- Go back outside through the hallway door and climb down the boxes.
- Walk to the yellow car, and use one of the handguns that you collected,
preferably the magnum.
- Aim at the center of the wheels, and unload your gun on them.  shooting
the wheel will result in the tires seperating from the axel.
- After this is done, switch back to the tommy gun, climb back into the
building, head down the stairs, and take care of the guys on the first
floor.
Skipping ahead to the last part of the mission, instead of the guy getting
in the car and driving away, he now just stands outside with a handgun and
is tremednously easy to kill. Just blast him with the tommy gun. You can
hide behind the bench seats in the diner and shoot him through the doorway.
(by Brian Jones)
Comments: This is a nice method if you want to blast the gangsters easily and
skip the chase chapter which is annoying for a lot of people. Nice!
2)Play through the mission as you normally would;don't bother shooting out his tires,
they are as good as new when the final part of the mission starts, just like yours is.
(That's how it worked in my game anyway- but don't take that to the bank) Anyway, once
you start to chase him, get up just a tiny bit in front of him, to his side. You
should be able to do this fairly easily. Don't bother shooting at him while driving
either- it's not productive and it makes driving the car much harder. When he swerves
to avoid traffic, ( which he does quite often), just pull in front of him to cut
him off, with you on one side of him and the fence (if you're lucky enough to get
him right when he's driving in front of that fence) on the other, he'll get out
of his car. Get out of yours and give him two to the head. Mission Accomplished.

Mission 5: Fair Play - Part one (Ap5)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is it about: It is midnight and you have to find Bobby and get a car to Lucas,
a mechanic. Then after that, the morning you are supposed to take part in a race
which is very hard if you dont know the tricks. I will help you pass this tricky
mission which it is halfed in two parts so its actually two missions.
Objectives:
- Find Bobby
- Deliver the sports car to Lucas Bertone without damaging it
- Return the sports car to the garage at the race track
- Return to Salieri's
How to pass it:
1) You should have learned how to drive around the city by now. If not then practice
the Free Ride mode and get familiar with the city and also experiance the "TAB" button
to help you go through with your game. To get to Bobby you have to go West. Look at
your map and go to that road that leads outside of the city. Keep going forward
until you go to a gate. Thats the racing track entrance. Get out of the car and go
speak to the man at the guardhouse's door. He is Bobby. He will open the gate for
you and enter the car. Now just drive forward into the tunel and follow the compass
to reach the garage. Remember though that you have time in this mission. But if
you are careful then it should be a piece of cake.
Bobby will give you this amazing car and you have to deliver it to a new character
named Lucas which he is a car mechanic and a car expert (like Ralph). Get yourself
familiar with the controls of this racing car which are hard. Also you have to
deliver it ro Ralph which he is located at the third island east in 5 minutes.
Sounds impossible huh? Well it aint because the car is very very fast. Go out of
the tunel and exit the racetrack. Use the outside road and try using the tunel to
get to the Central island. Then use the Guiliano bridge and Lucas should be there.
Iam not telling you exact directions from now on (exept if it is very tricky)
because you should have learned to use the map.
After you get to Lucas, he will repair it for you and you have to take the
car back to Bobby to the racetrack. You have around the same time so just use the
same routes you used when you came over to Lucas and you will be fine...
Now you don't have time and easily drive back to Salieri bar. You will watch
the cutscene of the next missions this instant.

Mission 6: Fair Play - Part two (Ap6)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is it about: After last night, you go to bed and sleep. Then late in the
morning you go to the Salieri bar and you find Luigi alone there. He says to
you that everybody else have gone to the racetrack. Then you receive a call from
Frank and he says that you have to meet him to the racetrack to race. Aha!
Objectives:
- Drive to the race track and find Frank
- Drive to Lucas Bertone's
- Steal the Lassiter parked near the Manicipal building
- Return to Salieri's
How to pass it:
1) Now simply drive to the Lost heaven racetruck which you visited last night.
Get a car from Raplh's garage and drive there. There is enough time to do that.
When you get to the racetrack, you will find Frank there and he will give you
a race car to race because the original driver has broken his arm.
****************
SPECIAL MISSION
****************
Objectives:
- Complete 5 laps
- Finish First
How to pass it:
First of all i will give you so basic tips you have to keep in mind so you finish
the race succesfully. Firstly, do NOT go out of the road. This will cause you to
flip and spin. Secondly you must brake before the turns. When a turn is not very
sharp then just stop pressing forward for a second. Also do not go near the other
cars because you will spin/flip. Also you should TAP the left/right cursors and do
NOT hold them when you turn. This will cause the car to spin which is extremely
annoying! If you are less than 8th after the first lap, start over. And do not
panic. Take it easy. If you were 2nd and somebody overtook you and became 3rd, just
dont panic. You will get your position back again. There are 3 strategies i can give
you for this mission so use them wisely. I know its complicated but i cant explain
it a different way. The race mission needs practice and practice and practice.
Words cant make you win. Anyway...
1) Here, iam going to explain how to finish the race, step by step. When you
begin, the first blue driver will stuck there so the easiest way is to avoid him
by going either left or right (left is better). This strategy is used for Automatic
transmissions so if you use manual, then just switch to Automatic by pressing "M".
Now you go to a sharp left turn with a small cliff on your left. Slow down and go
up the cliff near the road. Dont climb the cliff early because you will have
dissapointing results. Just climb it a bit outside of the road and if you used
your brakes right then you will stable your car. Now we have 2 small right turns.
You can pass them if you stop pressing Accelerate just before you drive on them.
After that there is a left turn with a brown mud outside the road. Slow down and
do NOT touch the mud! Stay on the road. The next turn left may look a bit tricky
for you but its easy to pass. Use your brakes just a bit before you turn for a
short time and tap left. Now there is the Zig-Zag turn which is hard if you dont
know the trick. You can risk it and jump over the right side and land safely or
you can slow down and take it easy. Then we have a left turn. Try to take it close
to the left side because there are chances that you will hit on the mountain at
the right side. Now there are 2 easy turns (right and Left) and the final speedway.
Repeat this 4 times and practice, practice, practice!
2) You can switch to Manual transmission just before you begin. Then do the whole
lap with the 2nd gear. Dont switch to 3rd. And when you turn, dont switch to 1st,
just brake and turn {unless you spinned and you need to switch to 1st to accelerate
again}. To move up a gear press "A" and to move down a gear press "Z". Clutch is
"X" which is useful when changing gears. So, drive the whole lap using the 2nd
gear and when you go to the final speedway, just switch to 3rd when is neccesarry
to speed up. Careful though to switch back to 2nd when you get to the cliff left
turn. This strategy is better and easier if you experianced manual transmissions
cars before (in a game or in real life) because it accelerates faster and turns
better.
3) Well this is not a strategy exactly. Its just that if you have a wheel and
petals, you can finish this in your first try. And its fun!

--------------------------RACE TIPS FAQ--------------------------

Version 1.0
Okay Most people think that the race is the hardest mission in this game. Well
I don't know whether they are right or wrong because I haven't finished this
game yet. Okay the first thing is you should not be afraid of this mission.
Because if before you start the race you are already afraid then you have lost.
Here are the steps:
1. Change the control keys!
8=accelerate
4=turn left
6=turn right
5=hand brake
Space=brake
This way it would be much easier to stir your car. (Your car will turn sharper,
and will slid less often)
2. Try to lead the race as soon as possible, when the race starts take the left
because the orange and green car  would likely turn right and smash most of the
car in the right (good for them)
3. Use brake! It is better to slow down a little then to slid a lose the race.
4. There are 4 deadly turns that cannot be handled even though you have changed
your control keys.There are
01. In the beginning of the game
Slow down your car until 60 and take the turn slowly. Be very careful because
in the beginning of the game there would be a lot of cars making it harder.
02. The turn where you can read Aribo sign
Again slow down your car until 60 and take the turn for the left side.
03. The Slalom turn (right after the aribo turn)
This one is the deadliest! Slow down until 50-60, release the gas and take
the turn slowly. Avoid hitting the side road at any cost, because if you flip
then you will be out of the race.
04. The forest turn (right after the slalom turn)
This in is not too dangerous just slow down until 60
5. Concentrate because the race consists of 5 laps and you cannot save during
the race if you screw up that you must do the race all over again.
There hope this help you to finish the game! I made this guide after playing
the race for over than an hour so don't copy this!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
2) Drive up to the first checkpoint and slow down. Behind the boulders is a
short patch of sand where you can drive onto the closed road. This of
course is the "wrong way" and if you plan to go through it, you will be
faster but not complete the lap. You will not win unless you do the
following. Drive up to the end of the road, just past the "Dunniel" (or
something similar) sign, where you get your checkpoint information and
select "Replace Car" (default is [Keypad 0]). The goal is now just a few
inches away. You must to do this five times. By doing so, you can finish
