5. The Missions- Walkthru.
Before you start you should of course check out the Options Menu and set up the
volume, subtitles, difficulty and so on as you like it. A note- on difficulty.
It only alters the toughness of the enemies you face and the amount of damage
they do. Not much difference otherwise. I wrote this FAQ on the Normal setting.
When ready, start a new game.

***Story Mission 1: The Father***
Okay, you start out as Ernesto Cruz. You're deep in the jungle escaping from a
Mayan ruin full of cartel soldiers gunning for your blood and trying to get
back the vital evidence you've stolen. A DEA plane is waiting for you, but
first you have to get there. Slide down the zip line at the beginning, shooting
whatever enemies you spot with your SMG. Don't waste too much ammo, though- the
ride is short. A goon with a rocket launcher nearly blows you up and you fall
into a warehouse. Climb on top of the boxes and grab the AK, Hunting Rifle, and
Rewind icon. The latter is most useful, as with it you can turn back time and
prevent yourself from dying or pull off a cooler move than the one you just
did. Using these does not affect your score, so have fun!
Bad guys are in the next room, armed with weapons like you just picked up.
Shoot them down and get those guns. This is a good time to learn how to
shootdodge and perform classy kills. You can also shoot the explosive barrels
to take out anybody nearby. In the next room you can pick up more weapons,
Health, and another Rewind. Eliminate your foes and open the garage door. Now
you need to run for the plane and help your fellow DEA agents fight off the
goons attacking. You can pick up pistols from dead enemies as well as more
Hunting Rifles and AKs. There's Health in the tent if you need it. Make sure
you don't get hit by the trucks speeding around the landing strip. In
particular watch out for the guy manning the machine gun on the back of the
pickup- take him out as soon as possible. When you hop on the plane, it
immediately takes off but unfortunately you soon find you've been set up to die
horribly by some corrupt compadres. Darn it!
