Min.DirectX 9.0C
DVD ROM
Keyboard
Mouse
Offline Players 1

Cheats :

Alternate main menu:
Successfully complete the game to change the background of the main menu.

Hint: Intel at no cost:
Purchase all the intel when a mission starts. Make a not of it, then pause game play and choose to restart the mission. You will have your original starting money, and the intel will now be available for purchase again even though you know what it contained.

Hint: Newspaper headlines:
After completing a level, the newspaper information varies depending on how you did. If you did poorly, the paper will say so in the paragraph. If you shoot very little and use mostly hand to hand it will say that there is not enough information to make a ranked description of you. High accuracy states you are a well trained marksman. Try doing the level differently to see different headlines.

Hint: A New Life: Quickly get FBI clothes:
To do this normally, you would drug the donuts and feed them to the feds in the van. You would then see them get sick and pass out before entering the van again. You do not actually have to do this. As soon as you see them getting sick, you can enter the van. They are so sick, they will not notice.

Hint: A New Life: Dispose of bodies:
Head down the street to the cul-de-sac en route to thhe lady gardening with the air rifle in her back yard. Go to the trash truck. Throw a body in the back, grab the lever on the side of truck and it will start to rev up. The back will close and when it opens, the body will be gone. You can drag and grind up every body on board.

Hint: Curtains Down: Easy "Silent Assassin" rank:
This trick requires that you have the scope for your Silverballer. As soon as the level starts, run up the steps and to the right. Toss a bomb and quickly pick the lock on the first door on the left. Walk in and explode the bomb. Wait a moment, then snipe the man up in his private box and the actor walking on stage. Put your gun away and get out of there. If done correctly you will get a "Silent Assassin" rank in under a minute.

Hint: Curtains Down: Rat Club:
In the basement during the mission, there are three rats. Kill them and a keycard labelled "Rat Club" will appear on the nearby table. Go up to where you can find the keycard for the light control room and there will be a door with a keycard slot. Use the "Rat Club" keycard on the door. Inside are rats boxing (with gloves on) and playing poker.

Hint: Flatline: Get police clothes:
As soon as the mission starts, you will see a guard shack. Run to the side door and enter. The cop inside will tell you to leave. dDo so. Then, wait a moment and walk back in. He will be walking the other way and will not see you. Quickly sedate or kill him. Take his gun and clothes. Also, check the gun box next to the door for extra ammunition.

Hint: License plates:
Look at the license plates of cars on different levels. On "A New Life", the suburbs, the license plate of all the cars reads BADBLOD (Bad Blood). On "A House Of Cards", the casino, the license plate of the first limo reads "L1MONEY", or something similar.
