2) Introduction and Basic terms
============================================================================

Welcome to yet another quick-faq, I'm trying to steer clear of another 
complete walkthrough - The work load is full enough this time of year!
This FAQ specialises on the shopping side of True Crime NYC. It was 
birthed from the search for a bike shop (Which I have yet to find!)
You will find here a list of all shops and items available to buy 
- Feel free to use as a check sheet for completion. 
This guide is based on the XBOX version, however no doubt it is 
cross platform. 
Enjoy with an open mind.

There are NO details of patches / bugs / fixes regarding the PC version.
No technical support here I'm afraid..


GAME
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Shopping falls under the restrictive time of day feature. The best way to 
  shop is to do missions at night and shop all day.

* By using Taxi's you can cram more shopping into a single day.

* Car dealerships are open 24hrs.

* Items are listed in order of sale, travelling South to North.

* Note that items are sometimes duplicated between shops.

* Two shops (Car and Music) are HIDDEN behind Police Booths on the Map.
  Move your cursor over them and around to pick up the icon underneath.
  They are marked as '..(Hidden)**'

* If an area has a high crime rate the shops may be shut. Try getting the
  crime level down and shopping again.

Please mail me if you find this guide hard to understand, I have attempted
to make it as simple as possible.
Also if you find ANY new shops or locations at all. Some may be specific to 
certain precincts (ie Harlems Fried Chicken).
Please add rough locations so I can note the additions and credit you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.4) Pawn
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

* The easiest site to pawn your goods is next to the Music store
  near Wall Street. If you get a taxi here it will drop you off
  on the door step of the Pawn shop. (Just turn around and look up)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.5) Repair Shops (Spanner)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

* The nearest repair to your HQ is to the south.
    From the garage head LEFT onto Broadway,
    Then LEFT again onto West 48th Street,
    Then LEFT again down 8th Avenue,
    Take the third LEFT onto West 45th Street.
    Then into the repair shop on the right hand side.

* For the quickest repair from anywhere.
    Get a taxi to the police booth in Midtown South (Precinct),
    Use the booth and pick your damaged vehicle,
    Now go to the repair shop on your radar.

============================================================================	
5) Combat Competition
============================================================================

* You are limited to only four additional forms. I recommend that you first 
  buy the four un-armed forms. With these finish all the Fighting missions.
  Then pick your favourite form(s) from the seven available.

* For the final 3rd circuit, you are told to throw the fights - DON'T
  Although it will give you a 'loss' after the bout after winning, you have 
  won by beating everyone on your way to the top.

* Each circuit increases the number of opponents by one.
   Circuit One is 3 Locations, 3 Matches, 1 at a time
   Circuit Two is 3 Locations, 3 Matches, 2 at a time
   Circuit Three is 3 Locations, 3 Matches, 3 at a time
   Final Circuit is 1 Location, 1 Match, 1 Opponent (with a sledgehammer)

* Use the following chart / notes to compete successfully in the underground 
  fights.

Style		BEATS		Form 1		&	Form 2
Karate		    >		Brawling		Tae Kwon Do
Tae Kwon Do	    >		Wushu			Thai Boxing
Thai Boxing	    >		Karate			Brawling
Wushu		    >		Karate			Thai Boxing	


			Win
       ----------------------------------
       |	| B | K | TKD | TB  | W |
       ----------------------------------
 Loss  |Brawl	|   | X |     |  X  |   |
       |Karate	|   |   |     |  X  | X |
       |Tae KD	| ? | X |     |     |   |
       |Thai B	|   |   |  X  |     | X |
       |Wushu	| ? |   |  X  |     |   |
       ----------------------------------


* Based on the above it is fair to assume that Brawling beats Tae Kwon Do 
  and Wushu - However this may be nonsense! Feel free to experiment.

* A clue to the opponents style is the picture matches the posture.

* I recommend Karate as the best style, then change to Tae Kwon Do when
  facing Thai Boxing or Wushu. You won't have any problems.

* Feel free to cheat and use your roundhouse kick to knock them down, then
  kick them til they're blue.
