I put about thirty hours in to this over a four-day New Year weekend. Let’s see what Achievements I got! (Spoilers abound.)

Remind Me of the Babe – Defeated the Sons of Samedi – The first one was for defeating one of the gangs, the faux-voodoo Sons of Samedi. They were no trouble, really, despite their voodoo-doll based powers.

Going the Distance – Threw someone a long, long way – One of the Activities in the game involves protecting celebrities from crazed fans. Sometimes the best way to protect them is to throw their fans off tall buildings, which is how I got this Achievement.

Love Thy Neighbor – Grabbed 50 human shields – I think this one speaks for itself. Sometimes I let them live.

Seppuku – Defeated the Ronin – Another gang defeated. A final fight on a burning boat, a sword fight. It was easy, but took a while and I wished I could just whip out my gun and shoot the boss.

Brother’s Keeper – Defeated the Brotherhood – And the third gang went down. Again, no trouble. (This might well be down to dual-wielding Kobra pistols with unlimited ammo, possibly the best thing I’ve unlocked all game.)

A Brighter Future – Defeated the Ultor Corporation epilogue – And that was the main story done. But that wasn’t the end, oh no.

Do Not Talk About It – Completed all levels of Fight Club – Melee combat mini-game, don’t think I failed a level. It’s not very hard.

Hello 47 – Killed all Hitman targets – My favourite Achievement name and my favourite Activity. Having read on a forum that it’s impossible to do these missions without referring to a FAQ, I decided to do it without cheating. Took me ages to find one target, but that was the only trouble I had. Excellent, satisfying tasks.

Vengeance – Exacted revenge on Julius – I suspect that if you’ve played the first game to completion, this Achievement description contains a huge spoiler. However, this secret final mission made little sense to me. I found out how to start it online and was slightly annoyed, as I’d already been very close to finding it myself. Fun mission, though.

Ambulance Chaser – Completed all levels of Insurance Fraud – This involves throwing yourself in front of cars and getting lucky with traffic spawns. Had to restart a few levels, but apart from level six of one of the instances I didn’t have any problems.

Reality Star – Completed all levels of FUZZ – Dress up as a cop, indulge in great brutality to help the ratings of a reality TV show. Brilliant fun. I wish there was more of this one.

Of course, that doesn’t include the random messing about, buying houses and businesses, the other Activities I’ve played but not completed or any Diversions. There are still some Activities, like Demolition Derby and Drug Trafficking, that I’ve not even tried yet. It’s the game that keeps on giving.

Now, if I could unlock infinite shotgun ammo for my pimp cane…
