The best way to find what to buy is to use the Business tab in the main menu rather than the map. You can buy every building on the map (eventually), and there’s some (just some!) strategy into what to buy and when. The biggest addition over Retro City Rampage is the property/business management side of things.

Just spread out your weapon use and you’ll be given plenty during missions and Shakedowns. You don’t lose weapons when you die, so you should rarely need to buy any. Most enterable businesses have weapons behind the counter you can take with impunity. You’ll eventually be able to pay yourself a salary, turning your “business” cash into pocket cash. If possible, Shakedown a store and buy the property before buying anything with your pocket cash

ShoppingĬosmetics in Shakedown: Hawaii seem super expensive at first, but as you Shakedown properties, it’s less of a big deal. Keep moving as well, and take any easy shots you see. Don’t hit a car unless you’re going to destroy it. Gold Medals in challenges are usually pretty easy, but if you’re having trouble note that cars give a large amount in most challenges, but only if they’re destroyed. Which, by the way, is a great way to get early-game cash. The cops matter a lot less than in Grand Theft Auto you can easily get Cop Cloaking Devices by beating cops to shake them off, and half the time they don’t even respond if you’re driving down the sidewalk mowing down dozens of people. It can be best to use a car as a weapon/armor in these cases if the car is destroyed you are not instantly killed! Some late Shakedowns have very large amounts of heavily armed enemies. Restore your health with heart drops from enemies, buying snacks in various stores, or hopping in an Ambulance (seriously). It’s the one in the south-east of the map just below the river and just east of the weird bottomless pit things. Sidequests are often unlocked by buying a certain amount of properties, which is a major part of Shakedown: Hawaii, so don’t neglect it.įor some reason, only one of the 3 Veterinary Clinics actually lets you buy character upgrades (Kee Replacement for double jumps etc). If you don’t know what to do, you should usually just go to the next mission. There’s no need to rush the main story, but it does unlock a lot of stuff, and many of the early missions serve as a gradual tutorial.
