Your character starts out as a weak Outsider, someone new to the Mafia world and someone that needs to work hard to get Respect. If you have something more specific in mind, head to that section of the guide now. Below are some tips, tricks, explanations and suggestions to help you achieve that goal. But then again, that's where IGN Guides comes in. It makes the game deeper and longer than you would probably ever have expected. This includes taking over every business and racket, finding every film reel, purchasing every safehouse, et cetera. You can only do this by getting 100% of what the game has to offer. Your ultimate goal isn't only to become Don, but to become Don of New York City. But you don't get the whole gaming experience by running through the game without taking the time to look at what you're missing. The actual missions in the game aren't terribly difficult or time-consuming.
