, right my status so far on the game, ive just moved onto case file 7 and im at level 32 just tried the tunnel bomb mission but carlito ran me over and killed me going to leave it there for now should have it completed in the next day or so cracking game so far but highly frustrating at times

That mission annoyed me at first as clarito kept owing me in his van

But if you have thew chainsaws hit the front of his truck a few times and you'll kill him (with a nice 50,000 PP bonus too). Then you can just go about your business

Also, if your car ever blows up, grab on of the shopping trolleys as frank will run when you use that.

Can i also just add how amazing this game looks when i hook it up to my widescreen monitor with the vga cable. If the game can look that good using a vga cable i can't imagine hoiw good the graphiocs would be on true HDTV. mmmmmmmmm.

So i am on my first run through the game, got 3 hours left untill chopper comes so i am on the roof top now

I failed the case file at number 2 because i ran out of time, was the part where i need to get that medicne for brad.

So i just carried on and saved a few people (not all of them).

I am now at level 24. With my lovely chainsaw and the 3 books to make it last forever (well all most)

Whats the best thing to do next on my second run though ? case files ? try and save everyone ?

Also when the chopper turns up, does the game just start from the beginning again ?
As i understand it i will keep my stats @ level 24. Do i keep all the items i have chainsaw/books ?

Thanks Ben

You loose all items but you keep your lvl. When you do it again its all new so all pyschos etc... are back

People realise you can spit at zombies?

Andr3w · 23 Sep 2006 at 12:34

Doug · 23 Sep 2006 at 17:11

BEN_UK · 23 Sep 2006 at 17:43

That got me too. Are you sure you are standing ON the helipad, as in up the steps and where the H is, rather than standing near it? The game is very pedantic about that.

BEN_UK · 24 Sep 2006 at 00:17

I have just done all the case files

and @ level 38

The special forces have turned up and started shooting everyone.

I have killed 10 of them for the achivement.

Now i am standing on the heli pad waiting for the chopper to come at 12.

Should i be going back for isabela ? i aint told me to ??

lightbulb · 24 Sep 2006 at 01:03

The final call from Isabella comes sometime in the last hour or two (in-game time) before the chopper is due to arrive, IIRC

BEN_UK · 24 Sep 2006 at 01:30

Now its unlocked overtime mode where i gotta collect stuff

Was hoping it was over, wanna play test drive

Grab a special forces machine gun (well a couple to them) go back to the butchers room in the miantaince tunnels and unload all 150 bullets at the meat hanging up - for the perfect gunner achievement. Also go into the leisure park with a sniper rifle from cletus' shop. Stand on the picnic area roof and shoot down the helicoip[ter for another achievement. It takes about 7 shots.

you get a call from isabella at around 10 i believe. As far as i know you need to go back and talk to her to unlock overtime mode.

Just noticed you haven't got the indoor or outdoorsman achievement. You just need to leave frank outside (on the roof) or inside (security room) for 24 game hours (no long in real time).

Also, for those who haven't yet got the marathon runner thing just put a 20p coin inj between the left thumbstick and direction pad and face frank towards a corner - you can now just leave you xbox 360 on and get 2 achievement in one go

BEN_UK · 24 Sep 2006 at 15:43

**SPOILERS**

This game just got HARD !

I am in overtime mode now

I have to collect 8 items and 10 queens.

Get some juice or something? I usually stock up on wine from the food court.

The zombies with queens are trying to pull them out the back of their head, they make a different noise too.

Best place to get them is in the underground carpark area.
