Introduction

15 Years Later
I first saw Reservoir Dogs at the Dobie Malls theater near the campus of the University of Texas at Austin. The year was
1992, and I was a few months from graduating from UT. Catering to the mature tastes of a college audience, the Dobies
cinema served as the number-one art house theater in Texas until the Alamo Drafthouse was built years later. The films
that played at the Dobie were midnight movie masterpieces.
I took my girlfriend (now my wife of 13 years) to see the film. The experience was unlike anything I could have prepared my-
self for. From the opening moments, when Mr. Brown launches into a diatribe about the deeper meanings of Madonnas Like
a Virgin, to the stalemate ending, both of us watched the film with mouths agape. You never
knew what was coming next, a bullet or a smart-ass remark.
Fifteen years have passed, and now Reservoir Dogs is back with a new 15th-
anniversary DVD, as well as a video game. No less funny, gritty, violent, or shocking
than it was more than a decade and a half ago, Reservoir Dogs has proved itself to
be a timeless classic.
The cinematics in the game recreate scenes from the movie closely. The missions
take place in the what ifs between scenes, depicting what happened during the
heist, how the robbers got away, how they retrieved the diamonds, and how their lives
ended violently. Gameplay varies between missions on foot and driving missions.
In foot missions, known as Run and Gun stages, you must navigate through
an area without dying. Whether you shoot everyone in the process or take
hostages and coerce your way out of the situation is up to you.
After each stage you receive a rating, classifying you as a Psycho
or a Professional. The walkthrough in this book leans toward
the professional side of things. Acting like a psycho doesnt
require as much strategy; find some cover and shoot
everyone in sight.
Success in completing driving missions is a matter
of skill. No matter how many tips and suggestions
we make, there is no substitute for practice. Us-
ing the hand brake and transmission grind-
ing at the times we suggest will help you
take turns without wiping out at a mere 40
mph, but there is no way you can know
what to expect until you try it for your-
self.
With that said,
please enjoy the
game and this
guide as much
as we enjoyed the
experience ourselves!
