Hints
Part 1: Prologue
When you reach the part that where hear "The Flesh
Of Fallen Angels", go into the room where you have to fight
all of the henchman, but do not go into the circle. Run around
the edges behind the curtain and pick up all the ammunition and
painkillers. You can go to the parts that are not covered by the
curtains but do not go anywhere near the circle in the middle
of the room until you are ready to fight.
At the part of the "The Flesh of Fallen Angels" when
you have to defeat all the henchmen, use your sawed off shotgun.
Run around the wooden stairs on the side, and hide there. The
henchmen will go there, and you can pop out and shoot two of them
without reloading. When you have defeated all of the ground henchmen,
run around to the other side of the stairs but take the long way
around because the henchmen on top have one moltov cocktail. Let
them throw it at you. If you are running, your chances of getting
hit by it are very slim. Be careful, as each one of the top henchmen
have one moltov cocktail. If you just stand there you will die
-- move around to avoid this.

room
When you get past the first part of the chapter with

gas tanks. Shoot the top off them. They will explode and reveal
a secret room down the hallway.
Part 1: Chapter 1: Kill man with
shotgun

can see some "wanted missing person" posters The people
on those posters are the game's designers.
Part 1: Chapter 2: Rats with guns
When you start Live From The Crime Scene, throw a grenade
in the hole directly in front of you. Then, keep going until you

explosion on the door..

of Molotov Cocktails, grenades, and ammunition.

you will be attacked by some other enemies that come through the
door. After you kill them, go down the stairs and out the window.
Once you are outside, look to your right, off the edge towards
at the far street in the distance. You will notice a white car
drive by. Enable the "Invincibility" code and jump down
off the edge and onto the street. Run over to the area where you
saw the car. When you get there, you will see that the cars you
thought were going by are actually the exact same car. It just
keeps turning around and going the opposite direction every time
it hits the invisible boundary in the game. Note: You will be
unable to complete the level if you do this, because you cannot
get back up onto the building you started from.
Part 1: Chapter 3: Soap opera fan
Once the level starts, kill the man in the first room
you see then go down the hallway until you must take a left turn.
Once you get to that turn, go slightly down the hallway until

in. There are posters labeled "Soldier of Fortune II"
and about three shotguns in this room.

make you way along the roof as usual. When you reach the last
roof, a police helicopter will appear. The location that it appears
is sometimes random. The people in the helicopter will tell you
to throw down your weapons. Do the opposite -- enable the "All
weapons" code and take out the grenade launcher. Aim at the
helicopter and fire. If you hit it, the helicopter will start
to smoke and slowly make its way off screen. You will see it start
to spin out of control before it goes off screen. You will not
see it crash or hear an explosion, and will not affect the game's
ending.
Part 1: Chapter 7: Secret room
When you are chasing the man, go behind the satellite
dish then jump onto the ledge. Go onto the fire escape. Make sure

in the helicopter, turn to your left and go up to the wire that
connects to the red-lighted structure. Shoot it at the bottom
and some enemies will attack. Shoot and kill them. The farthest
enemy will have sniper ammunition. Return to the wire that you
shot before, get the sniper gun out, press [L3] to crouch,
aim, and shoot at the bottom of the wire on the other side. Then,
shoot the red-lighted structure a few times and it will fall over.
Defeating the first Boss in the bar
Enter the bar, and after the graphical comic, the coward
will run to the back room and leave the fighting for the woman
and the other goons. Forget about the woman for now, as her aim
is terrible. You should have a Molotov cocktail. There will be
about three henchman on the left side of the room. Throw the cocktail
at them for three quick kills. Then, charge at the woman with
either the dual Berettas or the Desert Eagle. Once she is dead,
kill the coward using the dual Berettas. Do not use the shotgun,
since you can only fire once per bullet time dive. As soon as
you open the door, do a bullet time dive and fire at him rapidly.
As soon as Max completes his dive, do it again. Repeat this until
he is dead.

can practice shooting enemies. Jump up on the big van located
there, then over to the ventilation fan on the wall next to the
van. From the fan, jump to the stairs and climb them to the top.
Break through the window. You will find an Ingram in the room.
First nightmare
In the first nightmare that you enter from the girl
that poisons you, you must weave through your house. Eventually
you will end up in a black room with red lines all over that you
must walk on. When you are in the hall that leads to the red walkable
lines, run all the way down the hall. Keep running when you reach
the red lines. The line will turn right; do not follow it. Instead,
when you reach that corner jump off at a 45 degree angle to the
left. You should be floating through the black, but will see a
red line that turns like the one you previously jumped from. Try
to land on the corner where the line turns. If done correctly,
you can take the turn to your left and follow it to the end of
the black room, and back into a hall that looks like the one you
just left. Keep going and you should be able to finish the nightmare
without having to find your way through the dark room with the
red lines.
Baby maze
You will have to go through a maze where you have to
find a baby. To get through this maze easily, just stick to right
wall. You will end up in your house. After this, you will come
to another maze that is not as difficult, but us easy to fall
off of.
When you get to the blood trail in the dark, you can jump across
to the end of the maze. Run to the end of the straight trail,
and at the first turn, jump across. You can now see the second
door. Jump across again and you will be there.
Second bloody maze
To get to the end of the second bloody maze easily,
follow the trail until you see the first trail off the to the
right far below. Jump down there and follow it right and you will
see the candle platform in the distance to the right.
When you get into the maze that is made of a trail of blood, walk
until the path turns to the right, then stop. Turn to your left
and you should see another part of the trail in the distance.
If you jump correctly, you should land on this part of the trail
with no problem. Turn around so that you can see what was directly
behind you. It should be another trail. Jump to it and you should
be at the other door.
Painkillers
When you see a small box in some of the chapters, shoot
it. Sometimes painkillers will be inside.
When you get a painkiller(s), do not use them immediately. Wait
until someone starts shooting you. This will help save health.
Opening boxes
When you find boxes that are not very big or steel,
swing your baseball bat or lead pipe at it. This will open those
boxes easily without wasting bullets.
Disabling traps
When you enter a room with a tripwire trap, toss a
grenade then exit the room. If you see a tripwire trap and do
not have a door behind you, take out your sniper rifle and shoot
it. Note: You can use any gun, but the sniper rifle/berreta is
recommended as you do not normally use them very much.
Destroy elevator music
When you are in an elevator that is playing music,
aim up and shoot the speaker above you to destroy it.
Avoid getting shot in hotel
In the hotel, there is a room with a shotgun on a chair.
When you open the door, you will have about three seconds to move
or else you will get shot.
Shoot Dodge without losing Bullet
Time
To Shoot Dodge without wasting any bullet time, hold
the D-Pad in the direction where you want to jump. Quickly
press [L2], [L1], then [L2] again. By hitting [L2]
the second time, Bullet Time is turned off, but you still travel
and shoot in slow motion. If done correctly, you will use little
Bullet Time.
Ride gas tanks
There are explosive gas tanks on some levels. If you
find one lying down (normally used to open locked doors), enable
the "Invincibility" code and stand directly on top of
the tank. Shoot the tip of the tank, causing it to launch across
the room, taking you along with it.
Hear more from V-head junkies
When you see a "V-head junkie", which are
the men that sit or stand in one spot and say random things, get
close to one. They will not attack unless shot at. Listen to some
of the things that he says. Listen carefully to notice that some
of his phrases are cut off before he can finish them. The most
noticeable one is when one of them says "All messy inside".
Stand next to one and press [L2] to go into bullet time.
Listen to what he says. All his phrases will have more added to
them. Enable the "Unlimited bullet time" code when doing
this.
"Shut up" comment
Shoot two junkies (that sit down with their legs crossed
in the white T-shirts) at the same time with dual Ingrams or dual
Berettas. You will hear Max shout "Shut up!".
Followed by rats
On any level with rats, after you kill some enemies
the rats will automatically follow everywhere you go.
Flamingo television program
In part 1, you enter an apartment where a guy is "doing
his business". Jump out the window and you will see a television
across from where you are standing. Get as close as you can and
you will hear someone talking about an evil talking pink flamingo.
Glitch: Getting down from Aser building
Enable the "Invincibility" and "Level
select" codes. Go to the last level and run off building.
You will be able to run around and view the landscape. Note: Do
not fall down into the dark areas.
Glitch: Super jump
Take out the double Berettas, then weapon select to
the baseball bat. Do not press [Fire] yet. When you have
the bat highlighted, look for a ledge. Run to the ledge and when
you are about to run off, press [Fire] then immediately press
[Jump]. If timed correctly, you will jump higher.
Glitch: Weapon change
When you are chasing Vinnie, enable the "All weapons"
code and press [Triangle]. You should take out the jackhammer
when you go up the stairs and out the door. He will kick it in
with the jackhammer, but shoot with the dual Berettas.
Glitch: Unload more cases of ammunition
without losing any
On many different projectile weapons, including the
Beretta, Jackhammer, and Ingram, you can drop more than one clip
without losing or gaining ammunition. Take one of the mentioned
weapons, or another if you can find it, fire off a round or two,
then reload. After Max drops the clip(s), jump. If timed correctly,
he will drop another clip. You can drop about five Jackhammer
drums, or two to three clips (per gun) of the Berettas and Ingrams.
Though it serves no practical use, it is still somewhat funny
to watch.
Glitch: Fake death
The following can happen in two occasions in part one.
When you save the police officer from being killed in the station
and he follows you, shoot him. Though the cop may die, the game
will act as if you died. The same thing happens with the man with
the junkie that can get you into the Landromat.
Glitch: Breakdancing
When saving the transit cop, dive forward in bullet
time at the man holding the shotgun. Kill him with any weapon
and press [Left Analog-stick Left] or [Left Analog-stick Right]. You will spin as if breakdancing. Sometimes you will
spin on your head. The longer you hold the "Left Analog-stickb,"
the faster you will spin. This best works on the So Much For Being
Subtle level.
