Exposure to certain patterns or backgrounds on a television screen or while playing video games, including games played on the PlayStation 2 console, may induce an epileptic seizure in these individuals. Certain conditions may induce previously undetected epileptic symptoms even in persons who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. If you, or anyone in your family, has an epileptic condition, consult your physician prior to playing.

Prepare yourself by honing your fighting skills. USEFUL TECHNIQUES Use Finishing Attack to Break Guard Some enemies will guard to defend themselves from your attacks. Although it will not damage the guarding enemy, it will break his guard and put him in a defenseless position. Take Enemy's Back You can only guard against attacks from the front. Against the bosses, who guard more often, utilize the dodging maneuver to slip across to the side or behind the enemy, then attack. When You Are Grappled Whenever an enemy approaches you, he may grapple you. When the Action Display for S button appears, tap on the S button repeatedly. If you succeed, you may escape and repel the enemy. WEAPONS Equip Yourself ALWAYS BE PREPARED FOR BATTLE Some shops in Kamurocho sell items that can be used as weapons. You can begin a fight with a weapon in your hand. Also, if you are equipped with armor, you will be a little safer. ARMOR RECOVERY ITEMS Drink to Raise HEAT Gauge When you are drunk, it becomes easier to fill your HEAT gauge. On the other hand, it also becomes easier for you to get entangled in trouble on the street. HONE YOUR TECHNIQUES Raising Levels to Learn New Skills When you accumulate Experience Points from battles, access Power Up from the Pause Menu (p. 32) to raise levels of different abilities.
