Good game...Once you get familiar with the game it becomes pretty easy. As soon as you know where the weapons are you do fine. The first thing you should do is go to the gun shop...or look online and find out where there are guns hiding in the mall and you'll own those convicts.
Also the best weapon at the beginning of the game is the Sword and the Axe. Go out of the Warehouse door into Paradise Plaza and turn right go up the stairs and on your left there is a Cafe. Jump out the window on the overhang and the sword is there...Then go into Wonderland Plaza and go to the book store on the second level and grab the Criminal book, it will make any blade weapon last longer.
You've probably figured all this out by the time I typed this...
