I just followed that map, get a new car when ever you find one and avoid hitting zombies if you can. Bring a quickstep if you can as its handy if your car doesn't make it. I had to run the last little bit with Carlito trying to run me down as I headed to the car in the top right after bomb 5.

EDIT: Forgot the map >_<

Nothing other than making sure to use the car/bike by the entrance. They do break though, so try not to trash them too quick.

There's a van in the top-left corner of the underground, right next to a bomb, so try and time it so your near there when it gets trashed!

During the bomb mission especially and any other times i was traveling long distances i used the map in the menu, just press start and scroll down to the map.

No idea, I was having trouble with that case and it was in one of the results when I googled it.

i managed to do the bomb mission, well after i took out carlito.

i've got only one case left now and my impression of the game really is a mixed bag.

i love the attention to detail that has gone into the game, the setting and the lots of things you can do and experience - if you have the time and leisure to appreciate these things! which you don't have, because the game is a run against the time from beginning to end! this and the very poor storyline (including stupid actions and logical errors) are my main concerns.

i really hope that with a 2nd run through the game and with an upleveled Frank the game gets more enjoyable. does it?

and, by the way, anyone got Brady's official guide? i've heard it's crap!?

I`m on about my 7th or 8th playthrough at the moment. I still really like this game but I no longer bother to watch the cut scenes.

I`m trying to get a couple more achievements with each playthrough and I`m going for the "saint" achievement right now. Some of the achievements that once seemed really difficult become alot easier once the game has been finished a few times as I`m now at level 50 but, this can be a bit of a double edged sword as the achievements are easier so is the game in general, akin to starting a new game of Resident Evil 4 with all your weapons maxed and the Hand Cannon.

After managing 114,559 kills whilst going for the zombie genocider achievement I now have the Real Mega Buster which is the DR equivilent to the RE4 Hand Cannon, bosses only take one or two shots, again making the game boringly easy at times. On top of that, having a maxed up Frank with all his stock item space means plenty of room for books.

At the begining of a game I grab the engineering and entertainment books from Paradise Plaza, the engineering book makes all construction item last 3 times longer so I use my 2x4`s, pipes, sledgehammers and the like for the very begining until I meet Adam the Clown. I then take the criminology book from Wonderland Plaza, kill Adam and when I get his chainsaw all three books take effect and the mini chainsaw lasts 27 times longer.

Point being after killing Adam you can get your hands on 2 mini chainsaws that both last 27 times longer than ususal, you don`t need to pick up any other weapon at all in the game. All those bosses that gave you problems on the first playthrough all now get crushed at your hand. Anyone pull their hair out when trying to get into the Hunting Shack? All you now need do is jump over the counter and butcher the sister/cousin loving Cletus in about 5 seconds flat. The same goes for all bosses.

I summing up this is a great game regardless of whether it looks nex gen or not and regardless of the much documented tiny text issue. If your one of these fella`s that are hell bent on getting all the achievements then you`ll really get the most out of this game and enjoy yourself while you`re at it, but if you`re not one of these people then I guess a couple of playthroughs will do it before you take it back for a trade.

I tried for the saint achievement this week and only managed to get 41 survivors out, i think i was trying to be too clever and get all the cases and psychos at the same time

Oh and i got perfect gunner yesterday

Dont know if its well known but

->Open Spoiler<-

Btw the unbreakable achievement? Am i right in saying that you get it if you do in the very end boss without being knocked down?

I think I`m gonna fall short on the saint achievement too. It`ll be 40 plus which will be a PB for me anyhow.

For unbreakable you`re dead right, don`t let the SWAT team KO you.

edit - That isn`t just Brock, it`s for the time that SWAT occupy the mall. If they kill you they catch you and you lose the unbreakable achievement. If they do get ya reload. As long as you have a mini chainsaw or a katana, they shouldn`t be catching you.

I got the perfect gunner in the same way, it is well known but it`s a goodie!
