RESERVOIR DOGS
™
features six driving missions that put a character from the team
behind the wheel of a car. The game screen you’ll see for Driving Missions is different
from the normal screen.
NOTE: See DRIVING controls, page 4.
Speedometer
Shows the speed of your car in miles per hour.
Damage Gauge
Shows your vehicle’s status. As the car takes more damage, this meter reduces.
Timer
In timed missions, the timer will appear on the HUD. It flashes red when you run out of time.
BOOST GAUGE
Your car’s “Adrenaline” level. The following will cause the Boost Gauge to rise:
• Fast driving
• Performing handbrake turns
• Driving over jumps
• Near misses into oncoming traffic
• Crashing though gates or other barriers
• Narrowly missing pedestrians
A high Adrenaline level allows you to get a Speed Boost (hit
Y
when the Boost Gauge is
at least one-third full).
Mini-map
A top down view of the route you are driving on the mission. Often there are several different
ways to get through to your objective. Keep an eye on the map — you might spot a shortcut.
• The compass needle shows where North (N) is located to help you orient your car.
• Your car is shown as the red triangle.
• Other cars relevant to the mission are shown as yellow circles.
• Cops are shown as blue circles.
• The green arrow points in the direction you should be heading.
Toward the end of the mission, a green marker shows your destination. When you get there you
will see a green circle. Drive into the circle to end the mission.
Other Driving Screen Graphics
Certain missions require extra HUD elements such as timers and additional Health gauges.
For example, in the mission where Mr. Orange is bleeding in the back of the car, an additional
Health meter appears on screen. Drive carefully with Mr. Orange, as collisions will cause him
to lose more blood.
DRIVING TIPS
Lock-on and shoot while driving:
• Press
X
to lock-on to the nearest target (car or person).
• Fire with
A
.
An erratic driving style will lead to loss of lock-on. A good lock-on for a prolonged period
of time will lead to a more accurate and damaging shot.
Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT)
The PIT or “fishtail” maneuver is very effective against cop cars.
• At speed, sideswipe the rear quarter of the target vehicle.
• The target vehicle should spin out, leaving you free to put your foot down.
The Boost
When you have a high Adrenaline level, press
Y
to kick off a Speed Boost. If you collide
with oncoming vehicles under boost, those vehicles will be destroyed. Any traffic going
in your direction will be shoved away with a greater force.
Driving Missions
At the end of a driving mission you will receive a mission summary with the following details:
• Time Taken
• Pedestrians Killed
• Max Speed
• Shots Fired
• Average Speed
• Accuracy
• Police Vehicles Destroyed
• PIT Maneuvers
• Civilian Vehicles Destroyed
