When the game first begins you can select from two on-screen options:

Continue with a previously saved game. You will be taken
to the last saved checkpoint.
• New Game
Begin a new game of
RESERVOIR DOGS™. This takes you
to the Main Menu screen.

•Play
Start a new game of
RESERVOIR DOGS™from the beginning. Get your black suit
and shades ready — you will be thrown into the full game.
When you start a game from scratch you can select a difficulty level:
– Easy
A more forgiving difficulty level and ideal for a rookie who can easily screw up
under pressure.
– Normal
Requires more precision in aiming and shooting. If you get shot, those bullets
are gonna hurt a lot more.
• Select Chapter
Choose a chapter to play from the 16 available missions in the game.
Scroll through the list with the
L
or ?and press Ato select a chapter.
After you select a chapter, you will have the options to:
– Resume from Last Checkpoint
Begin the chapter from your last saved checkpoint
(if any).
– Restart Chapter
Play the chapter from the beginning.
• A Matter of Business
Come here to brush up your skills in firing weapons, using cover,
controlling people (including cops) and taking hostages. Joe and the boys will guide you
through the basics and won’t mind you trying things over and over — they appreciate the
hard work that goes into making a professional. They don’t want you shot when you’ve got
a job to do for them.
• The Missions
You can also select any of the other 15 chapters for a one-off blast of action.
Return here as often as you like for a dose of your favorite missions.These missions include
at least one of the team and sometimes, in the driving missions, several of them.
