Crime Does Not Pay

If you really want to be someone in this town there is only one way to do it; you’ve got to become the “King of Crime”. To maintain this position you must get yourself elected mayor.
Yeah, I know what you’re thinking and you’re right; it’s not that easy if you are surrounded by people as ambitious as you are. They will do everything to hold you back but its up to you to control them or as they say “take care of them”.
So let’s take things slowly and start from the beginning.
Take a walk around town, make yourself at home, get a feeling for the place. You’ve got to try and tune in on the right frequency. When you’ve got the right rhythm you’ll notice that there are many opportunities just beggin’ to be snapped up. For example, what appears to be just a key can open many new doors.
The same for safe codes and above all the city map which places everything at your fingertips. If you are lucky you may get your hands on wads of money, even jewellery. Keep an eye out for the 20 or so confidential files which are floating around. The information they contain may prove useful when dealing with city officials.
Don’t neglect the little things that you may find on the streets. The police transmitter for example will help you keep track of the 7 cops. h’s no use trying to bump’ em off since they all wear bullet proof vests. The cops are generally not good for business, particularly when they nab you. If they throw you in the slammer it’s no joke.
Getting back to what can be found on the streets, be on the lookout for ammunition reloads. With the new laws it’s not that easy to get your hands on ammo. So if you ever come across any don’t hesitate taking it. If you ever find yourself short there is always the corner store where almost anything can be found.
Now listen carefully. If you’ve got plenty of ammo and nerves of steel you should consider doing a bank job. But don’t make the same mistake as Robin Banks. He went for Fort Knox without a mask and got nabbed two days later in the bus. However an important point to note is not to drive around in a car, its better nowadays to mix in with the crowd- so get yourself some bus tickets.
If you happen to come by a survival kit, you might as well use it. Take full advantage of everything that comes your way while the going’s good.
At the beginning of the game choose either your Italian or Chinese Mafia partners in crime. The Chinese Mafia is a more diffucult game for which you should master all game commands.
Select your team with the keys < - > {or with the joystick}, then press Key 5 to validate your choice.
The game opens in your Mafia headquarters with your chosen group of Mafia partners.
Each group is composed of three members:
the Godfather, the Hitman and the pretty... but dangerous Girl. Each character has specific characteristics. It's up to you to discover them and then, adapt your actions correspondingly. You may at all times go back to your headquarters and change the active character.
