ah - but you don't want to arrest people on a first come first serve basis, as if you arrest people who are crucial to the next part of the crime, then most of the other criminals will go into hiding. Although the immediate aim is to stop the crime, the main aim is to arrest as many people as possible (including the mastermind if you can).

There is a difference between the UZI and pistol - I think the UZI allows you to hold down the fire key, or maybe it has a faster rate of firing - one of the two. But it *will* cause the alarms to sound, so not good if you're going to sneak around. (to get the best scores, you should break into a place just to get info first, even if you see the guy in the chair, then go to your lab and decode the info before seeing if you should arrest this guy or not.)

Another thing you should try for is to get the evidence which will make the guy into a double agent. Then the crime will still happen, but you get lots of info - this really helps to arrest the other people involved.

Hope this helps - and remember, that if you've played the easiest level for a while and think it's too simple, try it on a harder level. Theres a lot of things you don't get until the difficulty is up there, such as prision breaks, people following you and doing firefights in the middle of the street, as well as more complex plots. Great game - just a pity they took out most of what happens if there's a double agent in the CIA (they were meant to give you fake info, etc. But that was replaced with the terrorists just have more awareness of you - bah!)
