“Hey Ramolito! You’ve always been the black sheep of our family, but now you’re in it up to your neck, looking at a life stretch in the state pen! They’re gonna throw away the keys, hombre! I don’t want to hear your excuses, save that for the judge — but as your twin brother I’m gonna throw you a line!

“You know as well as I do that the drug cartels are taking over Southern LA and most of Mexico, poisoning both nations and dragging more and more people into a life of crime. Hard drugs, guns and gang violence are the day-to-day currency and only the drug lords ever seem to win. I know it might seem crazy, but with me out of action, my buddies in the DEA need someone to play

my part in the big picture.... Before you flip me off, hear me out. If you

won’t do this for yourself, maybe do it for papa’s memory....

“The story goes that he died of an overdose on the backstreets of Los Toros, Mexico. But something doesn’t add up. If he OD’d, it was a damn long fall from a curb that caused his injuries. But yet the flatheads at the DEA seemed to write him off all too quickly as an overworked and strung-out cop who couldn’t handle the pressure.

“He was a damn good agent. He gave his life to the forces of law and order and I have one helluva hunch that he’d penetrated deep into the cartel’s organization before his cover was compromised — by a traitor, someone on the inside at the DEA. If you get involved maybe we can clear papa’s name and blow the whole cartel wide open, taking out the drug lords in the process.

“Since you’re not officially playing for our side, you don’t need to follow the rules! Just make sure you’re good enough to go up against these bad asses before you run in all guns blazing. These banditos aren’t playing to lose and they will bury anyone who crosses them.

“Did I mention that you can get all the training you need at the Pistoleros Asociados in downtown Los Toros, just south of the border? I’d started infiltrating the cartel when I got taken out by that grenade, so just carry on from where I left off and use any means necessary to take these scumbag pendejos out of the equation.

“So, are you with us? I hope so, hombre, I hope so.”

Adrenaline!

Adrenaline lets Ram defy the laws of time and motion — for a few moments at least. Enemies, cars and other objects move more slowly but Ram still rotates and shoots at his normal speed. This means he can perform more moves before hitting the ground again. The aim is clear: use adrenaline energy to waste as many dirty pendejos as possible for big stylin’ scores!

The kill move is central to your mission to rid Mexico of the drug cartels and clear your father’s name. The following moves can be practiced in safety at the Pistoleros Asociados.

Shootdodge

This move is the cornerstone of delivering death in Ram’s time on a surfboard has given him the balance and agility of an acrobatic demon on the streets. In a diving shootdodge position, Ram presents a much smaller target to his would-be killers. Shootdodging near enemies activates Ram’s adrenaline, giving him plenty of opportunity to send banditos to their maker!

Combo System Tips

The bigger the combination of moves and their relative difficulty, the more style points you’ll score — simple and effective!

• Hang about and you’ll lose important points you could be gaining with massive combo kill strings.

• Be creative! Use a variety of Ram’s moves to perform your kills and you’ll score more points.

Rule of Three

• The first set of three enemies offed means an important health

power-up for you.

• Get busy and waste another opponent to continue the string. This increases the points you score per kill, and this number appears above the combo timer.

Once the combo timer runs out, the killing spree ends. The points per kill are multiplied by total number of kills and added to your total mission score. Higher scores in missions mean better rewards for you, amigo.

— Lets you visually judge how

Melée weapons

A variety of implements are available if you run out of ammo or want to get up close and personal. You can only carry one, so the last one you picked up is the one you’ll use. All melée weapons inflict very high damage but can only be used at very close range.

Unarmed Combat

Sometimes, when weapons are thin on the ground or you’re in very close quarters, close combat techniques are required. The close combat move that Ram uses depends on the angle Ram is at in relation to an enemy. He can execute different punches, jabs, elbow smashes, head butts and kicks, so practice from all angles.
