Mafia game help

I need help, how the hell do you shoot your gun in the car, am at the part where you chase the guy who stole the money and you have to kill him, do you just drive beside him and you automatically shoot at him or what? it's the part after you rescue sam ( I think) from the hotel where you sere sent to collect the dough.. how do you shoot in the car can you aim or no...thansk

[portisnine]

On my control setup ( unchanged form teh default), jsut use the mousewheel to select gun then press mouse button( left or right). cross hairs appear and you can shoot your gun while driving.

But.....To kill this guy, i woudnt necessarily use the gun. If you can get infront of him, just pin his car against the wall. Hell bail and you can then either run him over, or getout and have a shoot out.

If you cant get infront, stay near him for a couple of minutes of driving. The road curls round to the left and uphill, and theres a steep drop off of one side. Ram him off as he slows down and hell either die in the crash, or be easy pickings

Good Luck:)

LOve the "die in the crash or be easy pickings" part LOL :cool:

[aeoth]

hehe, we can see that HomerJ can't have completed the short tutorial, which covered shooting whilst driving ;)

the best place to get him, is in the tunnel, pin him as portisnine said, but he didn't seem to want to get out for me, so I just blasted the snot outta him, since he is against the wall, he is really slowed down, so you'll get plenty of chances to get him

I just shot him as Homer was trying...

got on his right side, selected my gun and shot him...easy :)

I never actually killed anyone from the car (well except the one after the farm but thatones different) i just got infront of him and made him stop and shot him in the tunnel near the beginning.

select a gun, click your fire button, aim, shoot... (mouse button 1 while driving by default..)

Also, i've found you can't kill the driver of another car by shooting while driving... you have to catch them and slow them down to stop them... only way i could get it to work

THought id post it in here rather than create a new thread.

MAfia.....

Has anyone got past the steamboat level yet? Im on board, and I know the sailer boy has the key( and wont give it to me), so end up chasing him all over the ship and beating him to death to get it. Then i go into the upstairs bog to get the gun, the door closes with the camera still outside and nothing happens. I cant get out. At all. Stuck.....

after a few minutes, a cut scene apears of the councilor starting his speach, an ideal time to go in for the kill, but no.... My character completly refuses to leave to loo. The water is moving in the background so it hasnt locked up. I just cant get out.

Anyone else have this. its happened 4 times now, and im close to giving up. Is it just a case of the runs and bad timing??

What am i doing wrong? Also is there a way to knock the sailor guy straight out as opposed to beating him slowly to death. I picked up a bucket, but the bloke jsut seems to use it as a handbag and still punches with his fists:/

Thanks for any help

Sounds like a bug :( . There's another way to get the gun. You can ask the sailors on the first deck for the toilet key and when you come to the mate that has it, he'll agree to hand it over to you if you clean it up (that's what the bucket is for). I must admit that I went for the straight-forward method too and beat him unconsious with the bucket, which took around 1 minute :D

[kgrandpa]

Don't attack anyone on the boat except the councillor. Just ask the sailor twice for the key and he'll give it you on the condition you clean up (which incidentally, I didn't even do!)

Just get your gun, hide it in your coat, take the key back to him, and go do your duty with the councillor.

[Daisho]

what you need to do ( i think ) is to crash his car into a wall ( wedge you car aswell so he cant get out, get out of your car ( he will to ) then get that new tommy you got and put some holes in him




on another mission......how the hell can i get past the racing stage i get beaten all the time...is there a way to win via cheating at it?

[portisnine]

Thanks for the help kgrandpa and nickless. Im too used to killing people when they dont do what I want:). I didnt think to just ask ask twice.
I still think it would have been nice if you 'choose' to do the mission my way:D


thanks again
