Neighborhood When you travel into a neighborhood, its name appears at the
lower right of the screen. Other Radar icons also alert you to important Empire Bay
locations. See the Map section later in this manual for descriptions of the icons.
Police Recognition Bar
Watch out for the police. The blue bar on the left
of the Radar begins to fill when police are pursuing
Vito (on foot) or the car he is driving. The longer
the bar, the closer the police are to recognizing Vito.
When the whole Radar begins flashing blue,
the police see Vito and are in close pursuit.
Vito’s Health Bar
As Vito takes injuries, the green bar at the right
of the Radar shortens. When the bar turns red,
Vito is critically injured; when it disappears,
Vito is dead and the game is over. Upon restart,
you will return to the last saved point in the story.
Lock Picking Guide
When you are picking a lock, the Radar displays
the lock tumbler. See the Lock Picking section later
in this manual for details.
MISSION COUNTDOWN
You must complete some missions within a time limit.
When a time limit is in force, the Countdown Timer
appears at the upper right of the screen. Failure
to accomplish the mission within the countdown
means your game is over. Upon restart, you will
continue the game from the last saved point.
