The following strategy was sent in by Krisrep:
Get some molotov cocktails from the junkies in the tunnel. Head over to
Chinatown. When you are close enough to his noodleshop, throw one of the
molotovs, and you should be able to take out the whole gang (Chunky and his
three bodyguards).
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
The following strategy was sent in by Douglas:
1) Make sure you have a gun.
2) Enter the area on the right hand side of Chunky's stand.
3) After the cut scene plays, lock on to the Triad member on your
right (he has a gun), and shoot him till he falls.
4) Ignore the other Triad members for now, and run after Chunky.
He'll be within shooting distance.
5) Lock on to Chunky, and shoot him till the job's done.
6) Turn around, and finish off the remaining Triad members, or
else they'll kill you.

| [15.3.3] "Van Heist" |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Overview: Steal car, ram money truck, steal money truck, take truck to Docks.
Reward: $20,000.00
When Joey's through, you'll see a blue damage meter at the top right. This is
the status of the truck you need to steal. To do this job, you should find a
durable car, such as a van or truck. You can do it with a regular car, but
your car will take the most damage, so you'll probably have to switch cars in
the process.
When you've got your vehicle of choice, head toward the blip. This is the
truck you need to ram. Keep hitting it until the damage meter fills up. This
will cause the driver to bail. When he does, get in and take the truck to the
Portland Docks, where Joey's guys will crack it and give you a bit of loot.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [15.3.4] "Cipriani's Chauffeur" |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Overview: Drive Toni to his mother's restaurant.
Reward: $3,000.00
You'll exit Joey's garage with a nice shiny Limousine, with Toni in the back.
He tells you he wants you to go to a local laundry store, where the owners
haven't been paying rent, so follow the blip on the radar.
Toni gets out, enters the laundry, then runs back to the car. It was an
ambush! When he's back in the car, head to the blip, the restaurant. Pull
into the blue marker and you'll have completed the mission. If you have a
Wanted Level, make sure you lose it before you drop Toni off.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [15.3.5] "Dead Skunk In The Trunk" |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Overview: Take car with corpse to crusher.
Reward: $10,000.00
Get a vehicle, and follow the blip on the radar. It'll take you to Greasy
Joe's Diner, where a car with a dead body is waiting for you. Once you enter
the car, you will see a car close to you come after you. Seems someone has
been waiting for you, and it's the Forelli brothers.
Take off, following the new blip to the crusher. Park the car, then get out.
At this point, the Forelli's are still after you, so find a safe place to hide
until the car is completely crushed, because if you die, it's mission failure.
Once the car is crushed, you get your money, and the Forelli's back off.

The following strategy was sent in by Jimmie (HumanZoom):
All you have to do is either ram the Forelli's cars until they explode or take
them out by luring them out their cars and then punch/beat/shoot etc.

| [15.3.6] "The Getaway" |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Overview: Pick up Joey's boys, drop them off at bank, get them safely home.
Reward: $30,000.00
Find a fairly fast car that can hold four people. The Mafia Sentinel is good.
If you can't find a fast one, just grab anything that seats four. Once you've
got a car, follow the blip to the place where Joey's guys are waiting. Pull
into the blue marker and honk your horn to get their attention.
Once their in the car, drive to the new blip, the bank. The guys will get out,
and you'll hear a scream and some gunshots. The men will run back out and get
in the car. Your Wanted Level will gain three stars.
Find the Pay-n-Spray and get the car repainted, then drive to the new blip on
your radar and drop off Joey's men.

| [15.4] Missions By Toni Cipriani |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
To get these missions, visit Toni's restaurant by heading to the big T on your
radar.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [15.4.1] "Taking Out The Laundry" |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Overview: Destroy Laundry vans.
Reward: $20,000.00
After Toni gives you your mission, head to 8-Ball's and grab the grenades. You
don't need them, but they can help.
Once you've got the grenades, grab a car and head to one of the blips. These
are the laundry vans, and will constantly change. Once you've gotten near
them, you have a couple ways of taking them out.
The easiest is to pull in front of it and take it, then you can do whatever
you want to destroy it. Toss it into the lake, blow it up, get it rigged and
blow it; whatever you want.
The other way, but a little harder, is to ram them. As soon as you hit one of
the vans, they'll know your after them and won't stop for nothing. This way,
you can constantly ram it until it gets destroyed, or try to make him drive off
a cliff and land upside down, or drive into a lake. When all the laundry vans
are destroyed, you'll receive your reward.

The following strategy was sent in by Jesse:
All you do is go to 8-ball's
shop pick up the grenades. Get to where a truck is and
park your car in front of it without touching it. Then
step out of your car a chunk a grenade at the van and
run like hell to get away from the explosions and grab
a new car, and just do the same for the other 2
trucks.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
The following strategy was sent in by Alex:
First, load up on uzi ammo at Ammunation before getting the briefing by Tony.
Then, find a decent car that can catch up to the vans and can take some damage,
like a taxi or a van. Whenever you see a laundry truck, drive next to it and
either using L2+O or R2+O, pepper it with lead. If you keep doing this, you
will eventually see the laundry van's engine catch fire. Eventually, it'll
explode, and there's one less van to worry about. Normally, it takes only two
or three passes to torch the engine, assuming your shots are well-placed.
You also might get bumped around by the laundry van or you might crash into
other people, other cars, or walls, which is why you'd need a relatively tough
vehicle. But just keep doing drive bys and you'll be able to finish the
mission. Just be aware of your vehicle's condition, or you'll end up going up
in flames with your car.

|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [15.4.2] "The Pick-Up" |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Overview: Collect payment.
Reward: $10,000.00
Grab a car and head toward the blip on your radar. This will lead you to the
laundry where Toni was ambushed. Pull around the side and head into the
alleyway. You'll see a briefcase with the money.
BEFORE you grab the briefcase, position your car so that it's facing directly
at the road. Grab the briefcase. You'll see a bunch of Triads surrounding
you. Get back into your car, and drive toward the road. You'll run over some
of the Triads. Reverse and run over the ones behind you.
The last Triad member has taken a Belly-Up truck. Either ram the truck until
it's destroyed, or throw the driver out and run him over. Once he's dead, go
back to Toni's and receive your reward.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [15.4.3] "Salvatore Called A Meeting" |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Overview: Pick up the bosses and drive to Salvatore's.
Reward: $15,000.00
Drive to Joey's Garage by following the blip, and head inside. You'll have a
chat with Joey, who will instruct you to get in the Limo. He will get in the
back.
After leaving Joey's, drive to the blip, which will take you to Luigi's. Pull
into the blue marker and honk your horn. Luigi will come out and get in with
Joey.
With Luigi in the limo, drive to Toni's restaurant. Position the limo so that
it's facing the alleyway off to the left, by the "Toyz" van, then pull into the
blue marker and honk the horn. Toni will emerge from the restaurant and get in
the car.
At this time, Belly-Up trucks will come after you. Seems the Triads knew you
were picking him up. Drive off to the alley, and you should be able to get
away from the trucks for the time being.
Unfortunately for you, the Limo sucks at climbing hills, so when your going up,
the trucks may catch you.
Drive toward the blip. You'll see an enclosed house with a small dirt road.
Drive along the road and you'll come to the front door. Pull into the garage
and collect your money.
*** READ! ***
You must complete Salvatore's first mission before any of the bosses will talk
to you again, so skip to Salvatore's Mission section, then come back here.

The following strategy was sent in by Sam R:
After picking up Tony and going down the alley you
first need to lose the Triad trucks. You then head
over to the car dealership. Head behind the dealer
ship and you can go along the grass to the house.
Doing this allows you to avoid the two Triad trucks
blocking the entrance to the driveway.

|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [15.4.4] "Triads And Tribulations" |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Overview: Take Toni's men to Chinatown, kill Triad warlords.
Reward: $30,000.00
When you leave the restaurant, you'll have two men in black with you. They
will follow you wherever you go, and enter/exit any vehicles you do.
The first Warlord is in the parking lot with the stairs to the train station.
The best way to kill him is to use your car.
The second Warlord is located in the area of Chinatown where you must walk,
since no vehicles can pass. Get out of the car, and kill him.
The third and final warlord is located in an area blocked off to all vehicles
but the Fish vans, so carjack a van and head toward the blip. When you get
there, the gate will slide open, allowing you access. The best way to get rid
of this Warlord is to either kill him or run him down. He can't get too far
since he's basically trapped. When all are dead, you'll receive payment.
*** NOTE ***
If the two men Toni sent get killed, don't worry; you won't fail.

The following strategy was sent in by Alex Schiller:
It is possible to kill the warlord inside the compound w/o getting a fish van
or risking your life. Get a Moonlight van and pull it to next to wall close to
the warlord's position. Jump first on the hood, then onto the back of the van.
You can just see over the wall. Aim and shoot.

| [15.4.5] "Blow Fish" |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Overview: Drive a Truck rigged with a bomb to a set of gas canisters.
Reward: $30,000.00
Grab a car and follow the blip on your radar to 8-Balls. You'll see a truck
with a blue arrow hovering over it. Get inside. You'll see a damage meter.
When this damage meter is full, the truck has taken too much damage and the
bomb will be blown.
Follow the blip. When you get to the factory, the gate will open for you.
Drive around to the other side, and park in between the blue marker. Press the
CIRCLE button to arm the bomb, then get out. A few seconds later, the bomb
will go off, destroying the factory.

| [15.5] Missions By Salvatore Leone |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
To get these missions, visit Salvatore's mansion by heading to the big S on
your radar.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [15.5.1] "Chaperone" |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Overview: Drive Maria to a party, then bring her home.
Reward: $10,000.00
You'll have the Limo again for this mission. Maria, one of the Don's girls, is
in the back. Head to the blip on the radar and pull into the blue marker. She
will exit the car and head into the building, telling you to wait there.
While she's inside, turn the Limo around the face the opposite direction. Cops
will show up to raid the party, so Maria will run out and get in the Limo.
You'll automatically get a Wanted Level of two, so take off and head back to
the Don's house. When you arrive, pull into the garage and receive your
payment.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [15.5.2] "Cutting The Grass" |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Overview: Follow Curly Bob home and kill him.
Reward: $15,000.00
Take one of the Mafia cars Salvatore has stored at his house. Head over to
Luigi's by following the blip. You'll see a taxi parked out front, and soon,
Bob will get in. Begin tailing him. You'll see a Spookmeter, and it will rise
the closer you get to him. When you back off far enough, the meter will go
down. If the meter fills in, Bob's on to you and it's mission failure.
Unfortunately, the taxi doesn't show up on the radar, so you've gotta stay
close enough to see him, but far enough back so you don't tip him off.
The taxi will take Curly Bob to the Docks, where he rats out to a couple
mobsters. After the cinematic, you must kill him. Either run him over or
shoot him until he's dead, then shoot him some more. You'll get your reward
once he's dead.

The following strategy was sent in by GenDV138_2000@yahoo.com:
Steal a taxi and head over to Curly Moe's Location.
Park behind the other taxi and Curly Moe should hop
into your car. You just need to drive him over to the
docks and you don't need to worry about tailing him
since you are driving him. This is an easier
alternative if you have trouble with the following
method. When told to whack Moe, just drive at him
full speed as he should turn around right when you are
about to hit him, giving him no time to hurt you.

The following strategy was sent in by krisrep:
I jacked a taxi, and waited behind the other taxi which our poor victim was
supposed to take. Then, to my big surprise, he actually got into my cab, so
all I had to do was drive him to the boat. After that I ran over him.
Mission completed.

| [15.5.3] "Bomb Da Base" |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Overview: Support 8-Ball by shooting guards with the Sniper Rifle.
Reward: $100,000.00
Take one of the Mafia cars to 8-Ball's garage, get out, and walk to the blue
marker. 8-Ball will come to the door and tell you to come back when you have
the correct amount of money, $100,000. If you have enough, walk into the blue
marker again. If you don't, get some, then try again.
When you have the money, 8-Ball will come out and give you a Sniper Rifle. Get
into the Mafia car and follow the blip on the radar. You'll arrive at the
docks. 8-Ball will get out of the car and tell you to find a spot to set up
shop. Get out of the car, and head to the stairs. Follow the stairs up to the
center of the roof. Get the Sniper Rifle ready.
8-Ball will not move in until you fire the first shot. Start by shooting the
guard at the bottom at the left of the ramp. The other guard will duck behind
a car, but you can still see him, so shoot him next. Then, aim at the top of
the ramp, and keep shooting the guards, left to right. If 8-Ball gets killed,
it's mission failure. Once all the guards are dead, 8-Ball will enter a door,
then a few seconds later, a cinematic will take over and you'll see the ship
blowing up.
When it's no more, you receive your payment.

The following strategy was sent in by Adam:
Do exactly what you've instructed up to the point about climbing the stairs.
What I did was this: Climb the stairs as you would in your regular strategy.
About half way up there are some gas tanks, tall ones. Jump the stairs railing
onto a tank, and follow the row of tanks until you get to a pair of tanks a few
feet taller than the others. Jump onto one of the tall tanks. The advantage of
this perch is that it's a bit closer, so you can be more accurate, and it
helped me a lot. Then proceed as normal, taking out the guys at the bottom of
the teps first. But after the initial four guards are dead, shoot the red
barrels on the ship-they'll explode and take out two or thee guards apiece!
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
The following strategy was sent in by Darren Jones:
When you drive into the ware house though the main gates you should notice
the trailers on the right. If you go in to the middle of a set of 4
trailers you'll find one of those slow motion pills. So after dropping of
8-Ball run over to the pill and then run up the stairs as normal. You'll
find you can get head shots easy!
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
The following strategy was sent in by Toby Willison:
Drop off 8-Ball, then rush the two guards out front (recommend you have full
armor and 125 health). Be sure not to shoot until they are nearly out of
your sight. You want to get as close as possible, so that you have a good
head start on 8-Ball.
After killing the first two, rush aboard the ship. Kill from left to right,
as before, BUT BE SURE TO WATCH YOUR TARGETING! YOU CAN TARGET 8-BALL!
After you trash all the guards, don't bother leaving the ship. When it goes
down, and you watch the cinema scene, you will be on the dock, right next to
the ship's past position. No death, mission done, and no sniping :P
Maybe I just got lucky, but I didn't lose more than 50 off my armor.

| [15.5.4] "Last Requests" |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Overview: Take a car from Luigi's club to the crusher.
Reward: $20,000.00
Follow the blip and it will take you to Luigi's sex club. When you approach
the car, you'll get a message on your pager, telling you not to get into it.
You'll see a new blip on the radar, so drive toward it and you'll end up near a
dock. Drive into the blue marker and stop. A cinematic will take over, with
Maria telling you about Salvatore.
After the cinematic, you'll all be in a boat, with you at the helm. Steer the
boat to the new blip, and pull into the blue marker. Another cinematic will
take over. Maria needs to talk to Asuka. Asuka directs you to your new
hideout where you can save your game with your brand new, two-car garage.
Welcome to Staunton Island!
===============================================================================
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [16] Staunton Island - Commercial District |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
The following are the missions found in Staunton Island. To get there, take
the bridge, subway, or boat.
===============================================================================
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [16.1] Missions By Asuka Kasen |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
To get these missions, visit Asuka at her home by following the large A on your
radar.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [16.1.1] "Sayonara Salvatore" |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Overview: Kill Salvatore.
Reward: $25,000.00
Time: 3 hours after getting the mission until Salvatore leaves the club (thanks
to Nothingness for pointing that out)
This mission is timed, but I forget how long you have to complete it.
Basically, you must kill Salvatore Leone before he returns home. You have
plenty of ways to complete this mission. You can opt for stealth with the
Sniper Rifle, go in like a John Woo movie and kill him at the restaurant, or
you can use my favorite method; blowing him up, courtesy of the Flame Thrower.
If you don't have the Sniper Rifle or Flame Thrower, then you can either go out
and find/buy one, or kill him with your regular weapon as he leaves the
restaurant.
Get a car, any car, and drive to Salvatore's home back in Portland. See those
two Mafia cars? Get in them, and park in front of the garage (the one to the
right, where you parked the limo earlier). You should now have two cars
blocking the entrance. As long as Salvatore can't enter his garage, the
mission won't fail.
When he arrives and tries to get into the garage, pull out your Flame Thrower
and start torching the cars. They'll soon catch fire, blow up, and take
Salvatore with them. Mission passed!

The following strategy was sent in by Bahamut:
I got to the club and parked 5 cars in a road block around the corner (if
looking onto the road with the club behind you it's around the corner right
then left) Park 3 cars in a line and 2 behind them...it makes a suitable
roadblock. I bought grenads beforehand and had a bit of style with this...it
was just like a gangster film. I stood on the bonnet of the middle front car
with my grenads ready. They yelled THERE HE IS! GET 'IM! I threw the
grenade, hitting both cars...before they hit the road block I jumped clear
and laughed as they exploded into millions upon millions of bit and pieces
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
The following strategy was sent in by J. Cronin:
This is an easy, yet somewhat cheap way, to pick off Sal w/o an elognated car
chase or taking out half the Mafia. Try and time taking the mission for when
there's going to a be a decent amount of sunlight out (not nesscary, but makes
life easy). Then, head toward's Luigi's. Follow the main road that goes around
the island (it's two lanes and runs right around ChinaTown and the Red Light
district. After you pass the Portland Safe House, take the street to the right.
Take the next right, go a little up the first hill (opposite of the street
leading to Pay'N'Spray) and park the car. Run up the hill the rest of the way
until you're just barely over it, but not in sight of the Mafia henchmen (if
you see "You've been spotted", life is going to suck, you'll end up having to
take out about 4 or 5 heavily armed Mafia men, but as long as they're out of
the picture, you're fine). Now, go ahead and wait for the cut scene announcing
Sal's exit from the club. Look through the scope and zoom as far in as you can.
After about 10 or 15 seconds, Sal will walk out (you can tell it's him by the
big ol' blue arrow). Just line up the red dot with his chest and pull the
trigger. Mission successful, plus no annoying body guards to fight to get to
Sal.

| [16.1.2] "Under Surveillance" |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Overview: Kill the Mafia operation.
Reward: $15,000.00
When Asuka's done with you, grab her sports car out front, and speed to any of
the green blips. These represent the people you must kill. You have a set
time limit to kill the mafiosos. The best weapon for this is the Sniper Rifle,
but if you don't have one, it's a lot of money to buy one at AmmuNation, and
you CAN complete the mission with a pistol or some other gun, but it's much
harder, as you're susceptible to a little thing called death. You should buy
Grenades as well.
Two targets are at the pond, sitting on the small island in the middle. Pull
out the rifle (or any other gun) and open fire. If you snipe them, be sure
your standing at the basketball court.
In Bedford Point, your next target is a black van. Since your weapons will
have no immediate effect, get a Grenade (you did buy them, right?) and toss it
at the van. Seconds later, boom.
Head to the casino in Torrington and climb the stairs to the top of the
building. You'll see a Rockstar helicopter. Go to the edge, and by looking
around, you'll see a bunch of targets standing on various balconies. They will
see you and try to shoot you, but they have Uzi's and are too far away to hit
you, so don't worry; only or two shots will actually connect with you. When
they've all been terminated, you receive payment.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [16.1.3] "Paparazzi Purge" |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Overview: Kill a reporter.
Reward: $5,000.00
This is your first real mission with a boat. When Asuka has given you your
task, leave her home and go to the second set of docks to the south, NOT the
ones close to her. As you approach the stairs, a cutscene will take over. Go
to the docks, get in the police boat (a blue arrow will be hovering above it)
and chase him.
You will see a damage meter at the top-right. This is the health of the
speedboat the reporter is in. Keep firing your cannons at him (by pressing
CIRCLE) and the damage meter will fill up. When it's full, it's kablooey for
him.
The reporter will make his way all around Portland and then return to the docks
where you left. If he does this, it's mission failure, so make sure you stay
close to him and don't let him make it around the city.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [16.1.4] "Payday For Ray" |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Overview: Bring a cop his payment, and await instructions by phone.
Reward: $10,000.00
This is a tough mission. You have a time limit to get to different phones
before the cop will agree to meet you. Grab Asuka's sports car and race to
the blip on the radar; the first phone. The first phone is in Torrington.
When you've answered the call, hop in the car and make your way to Belleville
Park, home to the second phone.
Get in the car again, and head to Liberty Campus, where the third phone awaits.
Answer it, and jump back in the car.
The fourth and final phone is located in Belleville Park (same one as Phone #2).
When you answer it, Ray asks you to meet him in the park's rest room. Go in
and give him his money. Mission done.

The following strategy was sent in by Alex:
When you exit the condo, turn left towards the loading bay with all the
trailers in it. There's a dirt ramp at the end near the water, you'll need it
to jump over the water to save time. Go into it pretty fast, but not too fast.
When you're in the middle of the jump, slam on the brakes so that you don't
overshoot the other side and land in the water. If you land it, you save
yourself about 10 seconds, assuming you landed right side up, and you also get
some money for landing the jump.

| [16.1.5] "Two-Faced Tanner" |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Overview: Kill Tanner.
Reward: $20,000.00
This is a very tough mission. Why? You'll see...soon...yes, you will see.
Hop into Asuka's sporty car, and before you attempt this mission, search
around for the Barracks OL, a huge, army flatbed truck. Why? Well, you'll see
that later too. For now, trust me. You can find them throughout the island,
but if your having trouble, there's an Army Surplus store near the water where
you can find one.
Once you've got the Barracks OL, head to the casino by following the blip.
Drive into the blue marker and stop. Tanner will come darting out of the
casino and will hop into a car and takes off. There is now a damage meter on
the screen and a red blip on the radar. You have to keep ramming his car (see
why we got the Barracks OL?) until the damage meter is full.
Unfortunately for you, he knows he's been targeted, and he calls for backup.
This backup consists of a level 5 Wanted Level. That means two sets off cops,
a helicopter, two SWAT teams, and the FBI. That's some pretty heavy duty
backup. That also means Enforcer vans will create blockades and try to
destroy you. This is the other reason we picked up the Barracks OL. It'll
give you a LOT more protection which you need.
Since your fairly slow, anticipate Tanner's driving movements. He likes
driving along eastern rode next to the shore. When you've got hold of his
location, either ram him until his damage meter is full, or push him over into
the water. Either way will result in a kill. Since your in that big Barracks
OL, you can easily send him flying.
Once he's dead, you lose the Wanted Level.

The following strategy was sent in by Tracy:
Instead of attempting to destroy him by ramming his car with a sturdy vehicle I
just used a nice fast car and went into first person mode. Than I drove up
along side him and shot it full of bullets with my Uzi. If you can time it
right you might be able to waste the car before any cops come after you. At the
very least if you do it right you will give him a large chunk of damage before
you get belted by a cop car. Its still tough but I found completing the mission
this way MUCH easier than trying to ram him to death.

The following strategy was sent in by Mark Bales:
First off, go to the army surplus store in Rockford and get your hands on a
rocket launcher. Instead of parking in the blue circle, get out and walk to it
with rocket launcher in hand. As soon as Tanner takes off hit him with a
rocket and you just completed the mission!

The following strategy was sent in by Will:
I have an alternate strategy for the Two-Faced Tanner Mission. Once he
gets into his car, simply follow him around. He drives recklessly and
fast, and he'll make driving mistakes, crashes, etc. Don't hit him, just
follow him. He will generally get himself into a bind (high centered,
stuck in a corner behind a car he hit, etc). Then just pull up, use the
drive-by shooting technique, and fill his car with bullets until it blows
up. If you waited until he's good and trapped, it only takes about three
or four seconds to blow his car up, and that's not nearly enough time for
the cops to get to you or damage you.

| [16.2] Missions By Kenji Kasen |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
To get these missions, visit Kenji at the Casino by following the large K on
your radar.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [16.2.1] "Kanbu Bust-Out" |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Overview: Bust someone out of prison.
Reward: $30,000.00
After Kenji's business is done, you must find a cop car. This is extremely
easy. Just try to open the door, beat up the cop when he gets out, and the car
is yours. Unfortunately, this gives you a Wanted Level of 1, but it's not too
bad. When you've got the car, drive to 8-Ball's and get it rigged with a bomb.
8-Ball's shop is located where the big 8-Ball icon is on your radar.
When it's rigged, follow the blip to the police compound. Inside, you'll see a
blue marker. Pull into that marker and stop. Arm the bomb (CIRCLE) and get
out. Behind you, you'll see an Enforcer (SWAT van). Get in it. At this time,
the police car will explode, revealing a hole in the wall. If the guy doesn't
run toward you, then drive through the hole until you're close enough for him
to get in. You now have a Wanted Level of 3.
While escaping through the tunnel, you'll run over a Police Bribe, taking your
Wanted Level down to 2. Good.
When your clear of the Police Compound, get out of the car and find a civilian
car. Don't worry; your friend will follow you. Once you've got a new set of
wheels, head to the Pay-n-Spray to get rid of your Wanted Level alltogether.
When you've gotten repainted, drive to the blip on the radar, the Hyaku Dojo.
Park inside the blue marker, and Kanbu will get out of the car and enter the
Dojo. Mission success.
