One being that I have used GameFaqs for a few years now, and I feel the need to contribute to this growing community. Another being that I recently played Minority Report on the GameCube, and it was a lot of fun-yet no guides have been submitted to GameFaqs as of yet...what a perfect opportunity! In this guide you can expect in-depth coverage for Minority Report from the very beginning of the game until the end. Not every secret, trick, or arena will be in this guide right away-give me time and give me suggestions! If you know of something that is not in this guide, please send me an email and I will add it to the guide and credit you for the information. Keep in mind that I may have missed something interesting, or there may be alternate methods to get through certain part of the game. Thus, many sections will have different options-try them all and see which works the best for you. At this time the "secrets" and "cash" will be included in each level's walkthrough. When I have a more complete listing of them, I will seperate them into a short paragraph after each level (in addition to still being right in the level walkthrough) so that you can check quickly if you have already beaten a level and see: where the item you missed is located/how to grab it. ******************************************************************************* A.

Semi-Basic Techniques These are are various ways of winning melee combat, using the jetpack effectively, and some brief weapon usage. This _IS NOT_ a list of moves taken from the instruction manual or a player's guide! I discovered these all through experimentation. There may be some things here that are also covered in the manual, but I need to make sure you know how to do all of these. Anything I may be repeating is definitely covered in greater depth in this guide. (Eventually I will probably be adding things that are sent to me by readers, however for now these are all directly from me.) This also points out some BAD techniques which you should avoid in most situations. *IMPORTANT* When I describe an enemy as "down", "stunned", "fallen", or "downed" I am talking about when you knock them on the ground, but they are STILL ALIVE, and I am _not_ referring to when they have stars around their head. I will use the term "seeing stars" to describe an enemy who has stars around their head and cannot move for a few seconds, but is standing up. _________ | ON FOOT | --------- [The Slide Tackle] Run towards an opponent and push "L" just as you come into kicking range of them. You will crouch, but the momentum causes you to slide. About 70% of the time they will have no chance against this. They don't have to be far away, but they cannot be in striking range of you when you start moving. This is not always an avisable tactic against bosses, and be careful not to slide off of a ledge! [The Sweep] If you are crouching (hold "L") you can sweep an opponent by tapping "B". Take this one step further by sweeping unexpectedly, and using it against a cluster of guys. They will all go down if you are careful. You should be close enough to strike them with a punch, and you should not crouch down until they are right on top of you. Whats more, this technique can be used to hit 'stunned' enemies lying on the ground! [The Spin Kick] A very effective technique, the Spin Kick can be a little tough to execute. Turn the control stick at least 90 degrees rapidly and tap "B". The 'flick' of the control stick is the hard part, of course. The direction you rotate in and the speed you rotate at can affect the kick, so be careful. If executed properly, the kick will cause you to spin, and should bring anyone you hit (who does not block) straight to the ground. Can take down 3 enemies or more at once. Not a slow technique, but watch out for being sweeped during the second you are vulnerable. [The Crouching Tiger, Hidden Groin Punch] Terrible move as far as damage is concerned; and it fails to bring an opponent down. It involves crouching by holding "L" and tapping the "A" button. This can be used in a few akward situations, when you are crouching or miss a 'Slide Tackle' and do not have time to execute a decent technique; because it is fairly fast. [The Stay-Down Stomp Kicks] This kick is probably covered in the manual, but I need to make sure you know how to use these two correctly. When an enemy is down, stand over them and tap either "A" or "B" to kick them while they are down. Do it fast, and they cannot recover before you defeat them. The "B" variant does more damage, and keeps them in one place. The "A" variant is quicker but does less damage and moves them each time you hit them, so you have to keep "following" their body to keep hitting them. "B" works better overall, use it more. This works best if you are only fighting one enemy, or you have knocked every opponent down (and they are still stunned.) For example, a well-timed spin-kick can easily put two or three opponents on the floor. Once they are down, start stomping the closest or most dangerous one with "B"; you'll have him in a coma before any of his fallen comrades can recover to help him. The advantage to this over 'Lunatic Leap' on a fallen enemy is when someone tries to attack you. If you are stomping someone and another adversary approaches you, you will often switch to a regular kick automatically! Make sure you turn to face the new enemy, and take him down fast because your previous victim will recover soon. If someone happens to fall to the ground near the edge of a steep platform, use the "A" version to kick him right off! [The Lunatic Leap] Ah, perhaps my favorite...Jump by pushing the "Y" button, and press "B" to punch as you start to come back down. If you can land on top of an enemy, this will stun him instantly. It is fairly fast and tough to block because you are coming from an odd angle. Works great against precrime officers and even a robot if needed. It has a decent 'splash damage' meaning it will hit any other opponents who are close to your victim. Anyone affected will hit the ground; there is very little variation in power for this technique. [The Lunatic Leap Evolved] Best when enemies are running towards you, or have you surrounded. Either use it to jump out of a circle they have formed around you-conveniently taking out one or two of them in the process- or use it to charge oncoming officers. Then proceed to use the 'Lunatic Leap' over a stunned officer on the ground! This is even more effective than stomp kicking them, as it makes it virtually impossible for other enemies to intervene. If anyone tries to attack you while you are leap-punching the downed opponent, they will eat your fist about 85% of the time. However, they will occasionally get you anyways-just be careful. Also, watch out for enemies with guns, who will try to shoot you while you are attacking a fallen enemy. [The Wake-Up Grapple] If you knock an enemy down, you can pick them up the same way you would grab them if they were standing: by pressing "X" while standing right beside them. So, if you happen to knock someone down, feel free to pick them up with this command. You can then tap "A" or "B" to hit them while you hold them tightly. Or, tap "X" while tilting the control stick to throw them in any direction. <(^-^)> If you happen to be fighting near windows, or and edge, its easy to pick up a fallen enemy and, well, introduce him to gravity. You will throw an enemy farther than you probably expected; so you do _not_ need to be right on the edge to do this. Even if they are defeated, why not pick them up and toss them while their body is still there? ;) [The Rag Doll] As its name implies, this technique is simple: pick up an enemy and throw them around. It causes damage to them, stuns them long enough for you to pick them up and do it again, and relieves stress! Again, simply press "X" while you are standing OVER a fallen opponent, or NEXT TO an opponent who is seeing stars. Then press "X" to toss them-at a wall works best if windows are not available-but keep in mind the old adage of killing two birds with one stone. If there are other enemies around, take one of them to the ground and throw him at the others! This knocks the others down, and hurts them slightly. *IMPORTANT NOTES ON THROWING* 1.) If an enemy is defeated, his body will disappear after a short period of nothing happening to him. If you keep hitting him, or pick him up, he will not vanish. So, after clearing out a room, you can pick up a body and take it into the next room. Very useful for throwing it at a group. 2.) Some enemies will give up items upon being 'defeated'. Thus, if you finish them off in such a manner as to make their body impossible to reach, how can you retrieve the item? If you HAVE to throw enemies off of a ledge to defeat them, go ahead. But be forewarned that putting them in a bad place could cost you some cash, a health kit, or a weapon. If you are just doing it for fun, wait until the item surfaces, THEN throw the body off the building or through the window. Otherwise, try to toss them far but into an accessible area. _________ | Jetpack | --------- First of all, make damn sure you practice this a little bit. It can be tough to learn it in a in-the-field-oh-my-god-I-am-dying situation. Practice it using the in-game tutorial, it does not take long. [The Rising Gun] Simple: Fly straight up or up at a slight angle while locked onto an enemy (of course you need to keep tapping "A" or "B" to shoot at them!) You will need to fly back down because after a short period you will be too high and far to aim accurately-don't waste your ammunition. [The Battering Ram] Get some altitude first by flying upwards fast. Then, swoop down and plow straight into an enemy-you will cause damage and send them reeling. In many situations, you will be fighting precrime officers on ledges...Put two and two together here-knock them OFF! Even a slight graze will be sufficient to remove them from their platform, and either they hit the ground and vanish or they take significant damage. In the latter of theses cases, you can either spray them down with 'cover' fire or land and beat them senseless. To land, tap "Y" and start attacking them immediately. Stomping works best because their health should be very low already. If they are up, I reccomend kicking over punching in this case-one kick should take them out easily, but punching gives them a slightly better chance to hit you back. Time is important; the longer you are on the ground the more likely you are to be shot at and/or ambushed by nearby precrime officers. Finish the job and get back in the sky by tapping "Y" twice to turn the Jetpack back on. [The Searing Burns] Arggghhh...I am only mentioning this because it is a rapidly spreading rumor. YOU _CANNOT_ burn an enemy with the back of your Jetpack. As realistic as it may seem, do not waste your time. I have attempted this many, many times and simply put: it's a load of crap. Sorry guys, I admit it would be fun if it was possible to do this. But it isn't. ******************************************************************************* B. Enemies and Hazards ++SOME SPOILERS++ Please note that these groups are used to seperate enemies, and are by no means sanctioned by the game's creators. I am simply categorizing them myself to help you learn about each's weaknesses and strengths. Enemies can be sorted into a few main groups: Precrime, Robots, MallCops, Swat Teams, Citizens, Bosses, and Misc. 1.) Precrime- Your main enemy. Several different types of P.C. Officers. They can be easily distinguished by the colored shoulder pads they wear: Red: Ranged Officer. Carries a weapon, generally the pulse rifle or machine gun; not common in large groups, rarely by themselves. They are terrible at close combat, and may attempt to hit you with the butt of their weapon. (rare but possible, and can stun you). Sometimes they have a rarer weapon. Yellow: Spyder Officer. Nasty if given time. Launches spyder bots at you, which leap onto you and sting you with electricity. More potent varities self- destruct, and can cause SERIOUS damage. The longer these officers have, the more spyders chasing you, so take him out early. Use the Lunatic Leap on the spyders, even if they are stuck to your body the impact knocks them off. Least Common officers. Greem: ...Gag Squad?! Seriously, these are basic fighters who seem to be average at melee combat, and carry Electric Night-sticks. They will try to gag you with the night stick (I'm serious) which will paralyze you briefly while you vomit. Not too tough, however. Common. Blue: Unarmed Combat Squad. Seem to be strongest physically, and are usually larger in size than green officers. Their fighting style varies slightly from green officers, and they are harder to fool with combos. They jump faster and thus are harder to sweep. Still not too tough, however, and fairly common. Paired with green officers often. Harmful if they manage to set up a combo against you, so try to get out of the way if you see a special move coming. 2.) Robots-A few varieties, but mainly the standard anti-personnel bots. Standard Bot: Melee combat is futile in 9 out of 10 situations with a bot. They will lash out with one arm and throw you to the ground if you stay close to them for a few seconds. Carry weapons in their arms, commonly machine guns. Seemingly impossible to sweep or knock down. (please let me know if anyone can bring robots to the ground before the robot is dead.) Shotgun works great, Machine Gun is nice too-it usually keeps them from being able to shoot you while you pummel them with rounds. Requires average 2 shots from shotgun. Spyder Bot: Small, weak, easily defeated. Hit them or lunatic leap on top of them to kill them/knock them off you. A Spin Kick knocks them off as well. Explosive Spyder: Red variant of 'Spyder Bot'. Same advice for fighting them, but instead of electrically stinging you, these ones self-destruct. If you kill them before they can explode, they _will not_ go off. So, charge them with a flurry of Lunatic Leaps or fake them out and run away when they go off. 3.) MallCops- Two varieties, neither is armed in my experience. Show up in a few levels. In some ways, these can be far tougher to fight than P.C.! Fat: Slow and not too hard to kill. If you stay close he will grab you and do a reverse bearhug (i.e. crack your back very hard from the front) this is bad and hurts you quite a bit. Try slide tackling them if you have room. Also does a chopping attack with both hands; this is the equivalent of your lunatic leap! It will drop you like a sack of bricks, but you can see it coming so try to move. Skinny: DO NOT KICK THEM TWICE IN A ROW. They will grab your leg on the second kick and throw you to the ground. It hurts you and leaves you wide open to fat cop chops and grabs. Mixing up kicks and punches works, so does leaping. Another possibility is the elbow smash if you have bought it. Machine Gun is also effective against these guys if you can spare the ammunition. 4.) Swat Teams-All the same, so far. Black, easily recognizeable clothing, night-stick, and giant bulletproof shield. Weak but can get annoying. Once you get an opening, they are basically defeated. Try hitting them _right_ after they lunge at you with the night-stick, or shooting them from the side. The shield will block bullets from straight on; but grenades CAN be lobbed over but what a waste, do not bother. You can simply run away from them, or slide tackle. Lunatic Leap works here too, but be careful not to miss and land right in front of them, as you will probably get clobbered a few times. If a citizen throws a molative cocktail, these guys are GONE. May as well run around stomping them before they recover, or you can keep moving if there is no need to eliminate the Swat Team in the particular situation. 5.) Citizens-PATHETIC! Commonly carry crude clubs, very weak, recognizeable by their language (obscenities and discussing anti-government). No need to fight them all the time however. There are sort of different classes of citizens. If you see a crowd of them don't worry; think "party time!" because they are not very hard to intimidate and/or defeat. Rioters: Dressed casually, carryiing clubs, lighting fires, beating up Swat Team Officers (or, getting beaten by swat team officers) Throw nasty molative cocktails which explode and light fires. You will see them holding a bottle right before they throw a cocktail, so run like hell and jump. Rioters will attack you for no reason, and beating the crap out of one of them does NOT turn them all against you. They will randomly? fight you or leave you alone. Neutrals: Dressed more formally, you encounter them in the bar and at the subway station among other places. Will not fight unless attacked; however if you attack one of them they all turn against you. Weak, but can hurt you if you let a mob of them pound your back while you fight P.C. Officers. No sense in fighting them unless you have to, they never seem to drop items. 6.) Bosses-Varied, and some come back. (Agent Mosely returns after you fill him with holes, don't even ask.) Often there are multiple ways to beat them, and sometimes they may _seem_ hard, but there could be a secret which makes them ridiculously easy to conquer. (Going back to Mosely, who may seem tough the second time around, but has a pattern which can be exploited to give you a major advantage. More on that later, in the walkthrough ;) 7.) Misc.-These include odd enemies or hazards which may not even be able to move, or some odd thing you only have to deal with once or twice. Cooks/Assistants: Found in first stage, weak as hell and some attack with rolling pins. These can do a little damage; so dodge their swing and counter with a swift punch or sweep. Construction Workers: Not too difficult, but they gang up on you and cause damage. Use your spin kick to its full potential, and don't fight them all. Just clear out the ones you have to. Air Conditioning: When you crawl into the vents, be warned: frigid air will blast you back, and could know you into a dangerous area with robots and P.C. Officers. Time your movements. Fire 'Streams': Fire that shoots out from leaking gas tanks. Painful. Some are constant flowing streams of fire, which are either jumped over or not passable. Others alternate on and off, so watch their pattern and then run or jump through while they are off. Draining Sewage: The torrents of green liquid which pour down in the sewer level can cause damage and stun you if you aren't careful. Also, they have a nasty habit of knocking you into the drain and causing you to be sucking into the whirlpool area-instant death. Avoid them, and know that you can fly in between them without getting hit if you are careful. Shown below. |-Ceiling Of Sewer-| _________________________________________ As shown at left, several areas | ( ) ( ) ( ) | in the sewer have pipes in the | ( ) ( ) ( ) | ceiling.

You show up just before the suspect can stab his victim, and he promptly flees deeper into the building. First, stay where you are and fight the two men who run up to you. They are very easy, a few kicks and a sweep should finish the job. (Stomp them if necessary.) Use your lunatic leap on the desk behind you, to smash the three computers and uncover $50. Nothing else in this room is of interest; go forward and take a right. As you proceed down this hallway, you will be attacked again, only this time they have rolling pins (Oh God No, what will we ever do) After you beat them, move forward and go through the open door ahead. Short Cutscene, then guys charge you. Don't actually run into the room ahead, let them come to you. CTH Groin Punch actually works well against this group. Now, go through the door (the one that activated that cutscene a second ago) and take an immediate left. You should run straight into a wall with several light blue doors. Open each by standing near the 'Panel' on the door and pressing "X". Each door is a closet with health or money inside. One of them is empty. WARNING: You may run into a couple of enemies (no big challenge) near these doors, so don't get caught inside a closet and allow them to hit you in the back! You may have to close some of them to open the others, as the sliding doors can block each other from opening. Now, face the wall with these light blue closet doors again. Turn 180 degrees so you are facing the exact opposite direction, and walk forward until you are right against the wall. To your left should be a staircase, to your right should be a sink. Jump up on the sink and face the pot and pan right beside it. Now tap "Y" again to jump and you should automatically grab the ledge above you. May take a few tries. Once you grab the ledge, press "Y" again to pull yourself up. Grab the health and money, but do not jump off-you will take some damage. Instead, stand facing the edge where you came up, and slowly walk forward until you stagger slightly. You will fall after a second, but you'll automatically grab the edge again this way. Hold down on the control stick and tap "Y" to drop safely from here. Now, go up the stairs mentioned earlier. (Across from the sink you just jumped up onto) and fight the men waiting for you at the top of the staircase. Do not go around the corner yet. On your right is a locked door, to your left is a space in the wall, and a short railing. Jump over the railing to reach the $50 on the other side of the railing. Jump back over it, and go around the corner. Keep moving, and go around another corner. Now, walk right up to the ledge and tap "Y" to grab it, and tap it again to climb up. Use "X" to open the door ahead. Ok, now you need to notice the railing which is along the face of the building, and bridges the platform you are standing on with the one you need to reach. Stand facing the rail, and press jump to grab it. Move to the right to swing arm-over-arm along the rail. <(^-^)> The Invisible Man: Before you grab the rail, move around on the tiny platform you are standing on. When you walk into the far-right portion of it, your character will vanish. When you walk back into the center, he re-appears. I have only tested this a few times (doing more important things for now!) so I am not sure how consistent this glitch is, but it has worked every time for me. Update: This bug only works if you walk onto the first platform, walk back into the building, and _then_ walk back out on the platform. Now that you are on the second platform, kick to break the glass so you can move forward. Proceed down the short hallway and through the small double doors into the freezer where you will fight a 'Boss', though he is hardly worth that title...The Boss is "Andre Serena"; the criminal-to-be whom you just prevented from stabbing someone to death a moment ago. Please note that there are doors in the corners of the room, and you should open all of them ("X" at the panel) before you kill Andre. Reason being that while most of them contain health kits, one has cash in it. Andre is easy, just take him down with a sweep, spin kick, or L.L. and stomp him into submission. Short Cut Scene shows Andre being captured. ******************************************************************************* ______________________ /Suspect: Nikki Jameson\ ======================== Secrets: 4/5 Cash: $200/$250 Cut scenes shows F.B.I arriving to inspect PreCrime operations, and two agents (Agent Mosely and Agent Nara) are placed to watch you and report on P.C. activities and efficiency to ensure it is being run correctly (and is worth continuing.) Agent Witwer is in charge, and instructs you to take Mosely with you to capture Nikki after the telepaths forsee her murdering someone. At the very beginning, walk forward to where there are to rows of chairs against the wall. Stand in front of the right-side chairs and jump to grab a ledge. Pull yourself up, and jump again to grab $50. Carefully go back down, and head up the staircase to the left of the room. Turn right at top of stairs and head through the double doors. Kill the robot by firing at him with your plasma rifle. Depending on whether Barry hits it, you may be able to kill it in 4 or 5 shots. Once it is down, look to the left. You should see a window, and a locked door. Kick the window and Jump through to grab a shotgun and $50. On the left wall there is a switch which opens the door so you can leave (or you can just jump back through the window.) Continue into the open chamber, and press the round switch by the closed door. Blue mist floods in to the room but relax, it does not harm you. The door will open in a few seconds, revealing a room with 3 robots in it. Blast them fast with either weapon, but be sure to stop firing at one bot when its health meter disappears. Otherwise you waste ammo on a dead bot...Once they are all down, stand in the middle of the room and face towards the section that juts out to the left. (if you face away from the door you came in through) In that section there are a few door-less lockers, one of which contains a health kit. Proceed through the door marked "exit" in red. A short cut scene shows Nikki and warns of gas. Oh My God Please No. Please No. Kill the two bots facing you (if you run out of ammo, jump around like crazy and try not to get shot while Barry finishes the robots off for you.) One of them drops ammunition, grab it. If you are not quite fast, three more robots will trudge up a staircase near the door you came in. If you _are_ very fast, you can get down the stairs and fight them down there. No real difference though. Kill them fast, and try not to let them bum rush Barry. He should be ok, though, unless you used him as a shield earlier or hesitated to kill bots. Alright. Stand so you are at the bottom of the stairs, with your back facing them. There should be bubbles in yellow liquid in front of you. Turn right and go forward. Take the first left, and go forward a bit more. Now look to your left, and you should see a health kit and a new staircase. Grab the health if you need it, or leave it if you don't. (up ahead you may fall a few times, so conserve this one unless you need it now.) Go up the stairs, turn right, proceed forward and push the switch on the vertical pipes. A message tells you the gas is off. <-X-> Turn so your back is to the switch, and walk forward about half-way to the stairs. On your left there should be a railing, and a pipe that runs from the platform you are standing on to a large cylindrical gas tank in the middle of the room. Jump carefully over the gate, and then up onto the pipe. Walk slowly across, and get off on the right side. Now, there should be another, large pipe leading to a visible $50. See Diagram below. Its a bit harder than you would think, trust me...be careful. 00000 0 0 0 Central 0-------------- 0 Gas Tank 0 $ <----$50 0 0-------------- 0 0 |^| 00000 Thick Pipe ( ) ( ) Thin -----> ( ) Pipe ( ) |___| ( ) |___| <----Stairs ( ) | | ===========================/ / switch-----> | Platform / ============================== Now, you need to get back to where you entered this room. After pushing the switch, head back down the stairs, grab the health if you need it now and did not get it before. Go left at bottom of stairs, then right twice and forward a bit should take you back to the first staircase. Go up, and left. Now the door to the ?control room? where Nikki was is open. Walk right through, and head down the catwalk on the other side slowly. A grenade is hurled over and ignites gas, so do not run down the catwalk or you could get toasted. Now a short fire maze! Go forward from the catwalk stairs until you are right in front of the huge fire wall. Go right and jump over the small fire stream, and continue forward. Take a right and there will be 2 fire streams, which will go on and off repeatedly. Watch the timing for a few seconds, then run through when you are ready. (and do it while the fire is off of course!) Forward a bit, then there will be two more streams on your right; they are the same as the ones you just went past. Wait, then run. This time go forward a little and take a left. There will be a continuos stream on the ground, and two streams which simultaneously turn on and off. Wait till the two are off, then take a running leap over the low one and through the two middle ones before they come back on. You should be facing a wall, with a low stream of fire to your left, and a wall of fire to your right (well, a few streams that do not go off at all yet.) Go left and jump the stream. Then push the switch ahead to shut off all the streams. Face the switch, and turn around 180 degrees. Walk forward, and slightly to the left where there should be a space between pipes and the wall. Squeeze by to claim $25, a health kit, and a shotgun. Almost there...backtrack all the way to the catwalk now that the fire is off. Then, face the opposite direction of the catwalk, and head straight forward. Where there was a huge wall of fire before, go straight instead of right. Then when you can go no farther forward, turn right and kill the bot. Go around the corner ahead and kill another bot. You should see stairs ahead and to the left, but first run to the very right side of the stairs. 'Under' the stairs there is a small niche with $25 in it. Now go back around the stairs and head up them. At the top there is a small chamber with a bot in it, toast him. Push the round button by the door, blue mist again, and the door opens in a few seconds. When it does, go into the room and kill 3 bots. If you line them up so one is right behind the other, the shotgun can kill them both in one shot. Hard but very cool to do. Also conserves ammo, so a good habit. Proceed to go around the counters in this room (or jump them, who cares) but realize there is a health kit on the floor after the first corner if you need it. Proceed into the chamber, push the button and blue mist sprays again. When the door opens, there are two bots waiting for you. Dispatch them quickly. Proceed and you will get a short cut scene of Nikki throwing a grenade right in your face...luckily Barry pulls you out of the way just in time. ******************************************************************************* ______________________ /Suspect: John Anderton\ ======================== Oh, my. After getting reemed by the F.B.I. Agent Witwer for giving Mosely door-guarding duty, John is forseen to murder someone by the PreCrime TelePaths! Your good friend Barry covers for you as best he can, and urges you to hurry home. ******************************************************************************* ______________ /Everybody Runs\ ================ Secrets: 2/2 Cash: $250/$250 And now the mission responsible for this game's namesake. You must escape from PreCrime so that you might have a chance to prove your innocence... You start by the doors labeled 'Temple'. This is the room where the TelePaths are kept, as you will learn later on in the game. Anyways, start by moving left and up the curving path. Keep going straight along that path until you reach the armory, where you can pick up a concussion rifle and two health kits (of course you don't need them yet, save them for later in case you screw up.) Turn around and go back the way you came; proceed down the ramp past the 'Temple' door where you started, and keep winding down the ramp until you can make a left turn. Do so, and head straight for the exit sign. Three P.C. Officers charge you, usually all greens. Beat them senseless and then search the first floor desk platforms for a $25. (This level is too similar for me to really explain how to get this, just check all the areas with tri-desk setups on the lower portion of the level.) Then, go back to the exit door and to the right of it you should see the wall curve, allowing you to jump onto it and reach a ramp which is otherwise inaccesible because it is behind a locked door. This ramp will allow you to reach the higher platforms with tri-desk setups. One of them right by the ramp has $100 on it-thats the only one of any importance. After you get it, practice your fighting skills and combos on some of the weaklings running amok. There seems to be an endless flow of them, they will fight but retreat easily, and take little damage to defeat. Thus, they will serve well as practice dummies to help you master your spin kicks and throws in particular. When you are ready to move on, move to the exit door again, but this time walk up to it so it gives you a message about needing an override. Head back to the Temple doors where you started, and from there go the same way you went to the armory-but instead of continuing straight, go left into the ready room. You will fight random P.C. Officers along the way, usually this includes a Spyder Officer and a Ranged Officer with Blue and Green bodyguards so be prepared. One of them (generally the Spyder Officer) will drop the keycard you need now. Grab health from the armory if you need to, assuming there is some left. In the ready room, grab the gun towards the back left, and then step into one of the elevator 'wells' to go up one level. Ambushed! As soon as you step out of the elevator well, a few P.C. Officers will emerge to fight you. Careful, the combination is random but usually includes a Ranged Officer or two. Grab the cash after you finish battling, and go back down using an elevator. Return to the exit (numerous P.C. Officers along the way, however) to finish the level. ******************************************************************************* ___________ /Bear's Cave\ ============= Finally...after a short cutscene in which Mosely and Anderton discuss who is going to get their ass kicked, you are given a chance to put your money where your mouth is. Put your fist where Mosely's mouth is. Boss Battle: Mosely is tougher than PreCrime, and has far more advanced combos than you, but you are allowed to use weapons and he is not. (This is never stated, but it is true nonetheless. He won't draw a weapon under any circumstance.) 95% of your spin kicks he will dodge, and occasionally he will even counter them. Sweeping him is also very tough, along with slide tackles. In other words, you have to pound him into submission with your fists, and fire on him when he staggers back. Mosely cheats in a way, because PreCrime Offciers appear in rounds to help him. However, he attacks you far less while the P.C. Officers are in the area. The L.L. can help you here, but the layout of the level makes it a bit of a challenge. Best, Simplest Tactic: Fight him carefully for the first minute or so, using short combos like "A"-"B"-"A", a few L.L.'s, and try to dodge his fancy kicks and counter with one punch to the back of his head. Once P.C. shows up, take care of them, and you may or may not get a weapon. Either way, if you have the shotgun by the time you have defeated the first group of PreCrime (from a previous level, _or_ from defeating one of the P.C. Officers) use it now. Let Agent Mosely come close, and dodge one of his techniques-then charge him and start blasting. Chances are you can tear him apart before the P.C. wave can even touch you. Finish off any Officers in the area and you win. (once Mosely loses, the waves of P.C. stop coming, and once you beat all enemies in the area you are victorious.) ******************************************************************************* ____________________ /Escape From PreCrime\ ====================== A brief cutscene shows John grab a Jetpack and fly away, but P.C. Officers try desperately to bring him down with cover fire. ******************************************************************************* ______________ /Jetpack Escape\ ================ Secrets: 2/2 Cash: $250/$250 You start in what appears to be a subway station. First, deal with the Ranged Officers; you can do lethal mafia-style "drive-by's" by flying past and picking them off. Or, you can ram into them each a few times. This is a better idea, as you need ammunition later on. You could land and fight them, but its harder and far more dangerous-you are likely to get torn apart by cover fire from Officers who are scattered about the area, or hit from behind. Once the Officers are cleared out of the main starting section, notice the metal gates, one is at the bottom of each wall. Land by tapping "Y", and kick the gates a few times each to open them. This way you can collect the cash inside 3 gates, and the machine gun in the fourth. After you have opened and looted all four gates, stand in the middle of the room. Notice that the room is a rectangle, and the two 'longer' walls each have 2 round logos on them. One wall has green logos, the other has blue. You want blue, so face that wall and go up the left staircase. Standing at the top of the stairs, with your back to the stairs, turn right and walk forward into the grey tunnel. The door in the tunnel has a flashing switch; press it to move on. IMPORTANT: The next section involves travelling through the tunnel in sections divided by doors like this one. Each section has P.C. Officers in it and it is a waste of time to keep fighting them. When you push the first switch right here, turn on your jetpack and fly through the tunnel. All of the doors opened and they won't close until the first one does; then they close in order. So, its much quicker and more efficient (not to mention WAY easier) to soar through the entire length of the tunnel, slipping through the doors just before they can close. After about 4 doors, you will emerge in a new subway station. To the right and ahead slightly is an open area, as you fly into it several P.C. Officers come running out. Kill them all, giving top priority to the red ones-they can hit you while you're flying. Again, try to ram these enemies as opposed to wasting valuable ammunition. Officers will run down from the upper section, but do not head over there. Instead, stay in the lower area and let them come to you. When they are all finished (fly up and look around quick to be sure) smash the gates on this lower level. There are two gates with $25 each behind them, and one with a health kit. Now, go up one of the stair cases, and explore the corridor with yellow logos for a health and a gun (I think there is a gun, my notes are a little confusing about this part.) Then go into the red logo section, and _fly_ through the winding tunnel. You will come out in an open area with some buildings; the tunnel goes along a ledge above the ground. Turn to the left and there is another ledge across from where you are now, with teo guys on it. Fly over and ram them, then land on the platform to finish them off. Then, swoop down and ram through the guys on the ground in the middle of this area. You could land and fight them, but again ramming=safer and easier. If you fly straight up, you will see there is another ledge slightly above the red logo tunnel you came through, with two health kits on it. When the P.C. Officers are all taken care of, proceed along the ground to the only place you can continue through-there's a picture of a red car rotating on the wall where you need to go. A Red P.C. Officer tries to ambush you, be careful. Hopefully you can see three glass umbrellas. Stand in the middle of them, and fly straight up as far as you can (the sky will eventually limit you from gaining altitude) and look for a platform ahead with cash, a weapon, and health on it. This is a setup, basically, courtesy of PreCrime. Fly around half-way to it, and look to your right. There is a bulding with a balcony built into it, and two red P.C. Officers are waiting there. (for you you to be lured to the platform) Swoop over and take care of them, but be careful not to throw them off the edge. One of them drops $25, and if you throw him off it becomes difficult to locate the cash sometimes. Now you have to take care of (3 guesses) some P.C. Officers on the ground. If you have bullets, use some. Do not use up all of your ammunition however. Ram someone, fly upwards at an angle, then dart down and ram someone else. This makes you hard to hit and, with a little luck, one ramming attack can hurt 3 or 4 P.C. Officers all in one run. When they are defeated, stand in the midst of the six 'glass umbrellas'. Then, orient yourself to be facing a wall with 2 light blue advertisement signs on it, a short ways in front of you. Up ahead and to the right is a glass wall with one 'panel' of glass missing (a door, sort of.) Go here, and to your right you will find $25. Turn to your left, and you will see another glass wall, with items behind it. This time, break a panel by kicking it to get to the items behind. There are two health kits and a machine gun. IMPORTANT: At this point you probably have at least $900. (If you have followed this guide strictly $950.) Press start, and select 'Black Market', then select 'Permanent Upgrades' and buy the health increase. This will make your health bar lengthen a fair amount, which helps immensely in the stages to come. You do not _have_ to do this, but I highly reccomend dropping the cash on it now. If there is still a health kit on the ground, grab it now that your health maximum is higher. Turn around and walk straight out the open panel in the first glass wall. Then continue forward and go up the two flights of stairs, to the platform. There is another subway tunnel here; walk into it to finish the stage! ******************************************************************************* ________________ /Mall City Subway\ ================== Another brief cut scene shows John uncerrimoniously toss the jetpack aside, and walk into Mall City. Here a computer identifies him as John Anderton, and a nearby Security Bot confronts him. Basic Idea: The shit has hit the fan... ******************************************************************************* _________________________________ /Welcome To Mall City Mr. Anderton\ *incomplete* =================================== First of all, you will need to dispatch the bot standing 3 feet in front of you; preferably _before_ he fills you with holes. Run to the right, around the pillar until you can see him. Lock on and unload the machine gun into him. (If you happen to have shotgun ammo that works even better) Now, you need to go in the direction you were facing when the stage started, and up the stairs to where the two fat MallCops are waiting. Don't bother smashing the vending machines peppered through the area, they do not hold any secrets in this section. Fight the two cops, but watch out for their attacks. These enemies are fairly comparable to P.C. Officers, but their attacks are quite different. The main things to watch out for from fat MallCops are getting grabbed (so don't stay close for long), being charged at, and their lethal but slow overhand attack. (When they bring both hands over their head, and hammer them down on you.) After the fat MallCops are gone, break the glass door or window and fight the MallCop/s inside of the small black room. There is a switch, which will open the 'security doors' and allow you to continue forward. ******************************************************************************* ~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~ ?.
