Face-to-Face Interaction
Engage anybody in conversation by walking up to them and pressing the button. Look for people with puppeteer hands over their heads; these individuals have something you want, whether it's information, a racket, or something else.
You can try to influence certain people with puppeteer hands over their heads by extorting or bribing them. Keep an eye on the pressure meter to gauge their reaction to you.
Pressure Meter
•
First region = no respect
•
Third region = pushed too far
Too little pressure and they won't give you the respect you deserve or what you're after. Too much pressure and you'll have either a fight or a dead man on your hands.
Precision Aiming
Precision aiming lets you target non-vital "weak points" of a thug's body to keep him alive long enough for information. With your weapon drawn, hold the L1 button to lock-on target an enemy.
Move the crosshair by pressing the right analog stick. The crosshair turns red when you've locked-on to a weak point. Hitting an arm might make them drop their weapon, and hitting a leg will stop them from moving.
Take Cover
When bullets start flying, press the button to take cover behind a wall or press the button to crouch behind an object. You can then target an enemy while staying out of sight.
When you pull the trigger, you pop out from behind your cover, fire a shot, and then return to safety. During a fist fight, you can cover your body by pressing the button to block. Hold the button and press the left analog stick to dodge punches.
Pause Menu
Keep up with your progress toward taking over New York through the Pause menu. From here you can quit your current game or access the following screens:
Map
New York is a big city. Find out where you are and where you're going by accessing the map. Press the button to bring up an icons legend.
Press the button to zoom in on your location and then press the right analog stick to pan the map. Press the button to add your own marker to the map. Press the right analog stick to move the marker around, press the button to lock it in place, and press the button again to remove it. Your marker shows up on the mini-map, which is good for planning your next destination.
Skills & Upgrades
View your skill levels and buy new skill upgrades if you have enough skill points. The Weapons tab shows you what equipment you're carrying, including any upgrades you've acquired for your weapons.
Objectives
Review your current and completed objectives. View the Hit List tab to review your contract jobs.
Career Progress
Review your progress towards becoming Don of NYC. The Promotions tab shows your current and next rank benefits.
Total Health Points
Keep an eye on your health. While getting iced reduces your heat and vendetta levels, it also costs you some cash. Try to keep yourself alive.
Tribute Percentage
This number represents how much of your income you pay in tribute to the Corleones. As you go up in rank, this number goes down, meaning you get to keep more of your dough.
Tom's Report
Don't worry about keeping track of what crimes you've committed or what rackets you've taken over; the FBI does that for you in a nice, easy-to-read report, viewable on the Rap Sheet tab. The FBI also keeps tabs on your money history, tributes, execution styles, and a lot more.
Check your vendetta level with each of the four rival families on the Rival Families tab, and your heat levels by neighborhood on the Heat Levels tab. The higher your heat level, the more aggressively the cops in that neighborhood hassle you.
Options
Set game, audio, and controller options.
Quit Game
Abandon your game progress and return to the Main menu.
Quit Mission
This option only appears when you are currently on a mission.
Missions and More
Being a mobster isn't just standing around looking tough; you've got a job to do. Your missions take you all over New York, from the swankiest clubs to the scummiest back alleys. Whether you're pulling off mob hits, bank heists, or extortion, there's never a dull day at the office.
Note
You can always review your current jobs by pressing the SELECT button to view your Objectives.
