You can make it fine with just the ones you get in the story. Instead, save money for clothing and weapons. All the best weapons cost a lot but are well worth it. The Saturday Night Special is a better revolver and it will cost $75,000. The Assassin's Pistol is better gun and costs about $200,000. The Python a better magnum will cost $250,000. The Dillinger is a machine gun that costs $450,000. Finally, the Street Sweeper, which works like a shotgun, sells for $500,000 and will kill most people in one shot. Invisibility: ------------- Submitted by: conner54 Type "holiday inn" while playing the game. Unlimited ammunition and $1 million: ------------------------------------ Reach the "Don Of New York City" rank at a 91.5% game completion. Note: you will get unlimited ammunition for all of your guns only. Bombs, dynamite, and Molotov Cocktails are not infinite, and melee weapons can still wear out. No heat when stealing cars: --------------------------- Reach the "Underboss" rank to have no heat when a parked car is stolen. Car chases: ----------- When you are being pursued by enemies in a car, let them drive up on your side. Usually they will come up near your rear on your left or right. Then, look ahead and lure them into an accident. Usually they will smash into something like oncoming traffic or a wall if you time it correctly. They will eventually come back and catch up to you, but if you keep doing this you can get them to blow themselves up (because you cannot shoot out your car at them). Losing police quickly: ---------------------- If you commit a lot of damage and kill a lot of people, you will get wanted stars. If you get enough stars, the police will chase and shoot you. To lose them, just move to a different area. All of your stars will immediately go away. Ammunition: ----------- All the safe houses that you pay for have ammo caches. When low on ammunition or health, you can go into these houses and restock. They are the orange houses on the map, and most are in hotels. Easy special kills: ------------------- On missions where you have to kill an important figure in a certain way (such as pushing them off a roof or into a furnace), you can do this easier by luring your opponent over the hazard you must use to kill them before fighting with them. Just avoid them and run over to the hazard. They will come over to you. Beat them up a bit but do not kill them completely. Then, grab them and swing them so they have their back to the hazard. Then, shove them to their death. Shooting enemies behind cover: ------------------------------ When you are locked onto an enemy who is hiding behind a crate or low object, keep locking on but move the crosshair to a part of their body that is sometimes sticking out, like their head or arm. This will help you kill them easier. Marlon Brando's last appearance: -------------------------------- Play the mission when you go to the hospital to protect the Don. After you kill the first assassin and Michael Corleone tells you to go to the basement, go foward and make a left. You should see a door with Michael Corleone talking to Vito Corleone while he is in the hospital bed. Listen to the conversation carefully. This is the real Marlo Brando talking, recorded while he was hospitalized. Losing police quickly: ---------------------- If you commit a lot of damage and kill a lot of people, you will get wanted stars. If you get enough stars, the police will chase and shoot you. To lose them, just move to a different area. All of your stars will immediately go away. Avoid getting shot: ------------------- When you are getting shot by another family or cop, grab someone nearby and use them as a shield. By doing this, you will not get hurt while being shot. Safes: ------ You must blow all safes to become Don Of New York. Blow all the safes when you are taking over businesses that have one. By doing this you will not have to search for safes after you completed most of the missions. Also, you will get an amount of money, 1,000 respect and dynamite by blowing them up. Gun upgrade prices and recommendations: --------------------------------------- The Street Sweeper is recommended because it has 100 bullets available and can kill in one shot. Another good gun to buy is the Colt Python. In close range it can kill in one shot, but it has poor shot power at long and medium range. The Assassin's Pistol is also useful. When running, the pistol fires like any other pistol. However when you stand still it fires like a Tommy Gun. Street Sweeper: $450,000 Dillinger: $500,000 Saturday Night Special: $75,000 Assassin's Pistol: $250,000 Colt Python: $250,000 Taking over rackets: -------------------- When taking over rackets it may be harder not to buy them out, but you will usually get more if you find their weak spot For example: With a person you can buy out for $800, if you find his weak spot he will pay you almost $900. "Horseplay" mission: Easy money: -------------------------------- Use the following trick for an easy $20,000. After your partner has the "package" with him, go in the house, Go upstairs at the first staircase. Kill the guard with the garrote wire, then wait for the maid to leave the next room. You will hear a guard talk to her, then she walks away. Kill that guard, but be careful -- make sure the maid does not see you. Follow the maid through the door on the right. When she is facing away from the guard, be silent and kill the guard. To the left (behind the maid), you will see the money bag containing the $20,000. Always crouch and use the garrote wire so you are silent and do not get caught. Pop culture references references: ---------------------------------- Go to New Jersey and find the New Jersey National Bank. It is the only bank in the area. Go into the manager's room on the top floor of the building. His name is "Jean Bongiovi", clearly referencing to New Jersey's own "Jon Bon Jovi" the lead in the band Bon Jovi. The Don Is Dead mission: ------------------------ Break the windows in the barber shop before start the mission. This will allow for easy shooting once the Don is shot. The recommended gun for this and any other close range shooting mission is the magnum. Easy money: ----------- Visit the sewer system. The entrance is directly south of the westernmost Tattaglia warehouse on the Hell's Kitchen Loop. Prepare for a battle. The crate containing the money you are after is guarded by a group of heavily armed bell-boys. Barricades: ----------- Use the following trick when you go to a hub, warehouse, or compound with people and cars blocking your way. Get a truck and run into the cars and people until it catches on fire. Then, finish off the other people that are still alive. Tattaglias compound: -------------------- When you think you are ready for the challenge, take on a compound. The Tattaglias in northeast Brooklyn might be the weakest family in New York, but that does not mean they are going to let you walk right in. Bring some bombs along and blow up the support pillars in the basements. You may start a mob war, but if you are successful you will have a new safe house with a group of guards. Extorting businesses: --------------------- When you are having trouble extorting business owners, try destroying some of their property and/or hold a gun to their face. For example, when you are trying to take over Good Eats in Brooklyn. you can hold the gun to the man's face then reholster the gun and press V to extort. He will refuse. Simply draw your gun again, lock on, and hold it. Keep doing this until he caves in. Do not forget to reholster your gun to avoid accidentally shooting him. In another example, when you are trying to extort money from the hotel owner in Brooklyn, hold a gun to him twice, break the downstairs cupboard, then finally blow his safe before you beat him into submission. Always buy available rackets first. Take a trip around to either buy another racket or go around the block. Do not attack until you visit again, and instead of enemy soldiers you will find all your soldiers. By doing this you do not have to fight a bunch of enemies and get your vendetta up. Robbing banks: -------------- The type of bank will determine the easiest way it can be robbed. The type with the three guards and one room is by far the easiest, and should be robbed as often as possible. Use the following trick to rob it without being chased or even getting past two shields. First, bribe the cop outside. Then, go into the bank and choke the first guard by the door. Next, go into the vault area and start strangling the guard on the left. The other guard will come and attack you, but he will not shoot. He will only hit you with his billy club. Remember to strangle the man on the left first because he tends to start shooting with his shotgun if you attack the other guard. If you are robbing the big bank, start the same way by bribing the cop outside. Then, go in and immediately strangle the guards in the main room. Hurry down to the vault and strangle the two guards there. Open the door and blow the vault. Ready your Tommy gun for action. Three or four guards will attack you as you flee the vault. Get close to them as you are shooting them and you will perform an instant execution. After you shoot them, run up the stairs and move to the right. Then, take an immediate right to leave the building where the car is always parked. Get in the car quickly because you will be shot at when outside. Take off and you should not be chased after you hit the streets. After any bank robbery you must go to your hangout to get the money. The best bank to rob is the midtown bank, close to the apartment that the Corleone's give you after you save Michael. You wll get $50,000 there. Hint: ----- Submitted by: EDMUNDO This game showme how the human is so powerfull when their minds just think in power is a game that in my person enjoy it and make me relax and make me think how to solve this game and get all of the skills Skip introduction sequences: ---------------------------- Note: This procedure involves removing game files; create a backup copy of the files before proceeding. Enter the "electronic artsthe godfather the gamemovies" folder. Delete the "load.vp6" and "paramount.vp6" files. You will now only be prompted with the copyright clip before you enter the main menu. Assaulting warehouses: ---------------------- Before going on a warehouse assault have these items: pistol (full ammunition), Tommy gun (full ammunition), shotgun (full ammunition), magnum (full ammunition), molotovs (6), and about $25,000. When going to a warehouse, try to blow up the roadblocks. After that, stand there and shoot at oncoming gangsters with your pistol (headshots are essential). Then, go in to the warehouse area. Stand behind boxes and shoot the enemies with the pistol or magnum (again with headshots). Once you enter the warehouse, have either your shotgun or Tommy gun ready. Most enemies will have shotguns and Tommy guns. When you kill them, search for the owner. He will have puppeteer hands. Buy him out. Do not hit or injure him or you will not be able to buy him out and will have to use pressure. More than likely you will have also started a mob war. Do not bother looking for bombing business. Instead, check the map for the nearest FBI agent and bribe him. You may lose $3,000, but it is less risky. You will now have a warehouse and won a mob war at the same time. Easy money: ----------- Different families have different incomes. The richest family is the Barzini (green) family followed by the Cuneo (red) family. The businesses that you take from these families pay out a lot more than the other two. Also, when you are taking over their business, do not forget to pick up the money they drop. When a Barzini (green) family member is killed, you can pick up at least $200 per person. However, when you take money from a Tattaglia (brown) family member, you will only get $15. Easy money II: -------------- Use the following trick to get easy money to buy the guns. Go to Brooklyn and get every warehouse and business. Go to the warehouse on the left and get a truck. It will take a 45 second drive to get $75,000. You can do this as many times as desired. You will get three payments of $25,000 each. This is the only place you can get that type of payment in that short of a drive. Easy money III: --------------- Go to Midtown to the bank next to the barbershop. Bribe one of the cops wearing black. They cost $500. Then, go inside, downstairs, and through the door at the end of the hallway. Use your Tommy gun to kill the four guards. Blow open the safe and take the money. While walking out there should be three more guards. You can kill them, but you do not have to. Immediately run upstairs and out of the bank. Bribe any type of cop then steal a car. Go to the bank over by the Barzini's mansion. You can rob it easily. Bribe another cop when you are done, then cruise home to get $70,000 in cash. Respawning bums: ---------------- Go to Stracci Container Park (where you get the box of $120,000 in the maze). Go back until you see a wall. Turn right and kill the bum there. Come back and another set of bums will attack you. Easy money: ----------- To get more money, take over as many businesses, warehouses, and rackets as possible before completing missions. By doing this you will get much more on payday, and money for important weapon upgrades.
