Part 13: Day 5: Evolution
Day 5: Evolution
Welcome back. When we left our heroine, she had killed a giant crab with her bare hands and used its shell to build a high-power portable rocket launcher. With that, she headed to Chinatown.

Maybe I can buy some illegal fireworks while I'm here.
![](2-psxfin_2007-04-11_14-28-26-06.jpg)
![](3-psxfin_2007-04-11_14-28-30-81.jpg)
![](4-psxfin_2007-04-11_14-28-36-54.jpg)
Chinatown is just one medium-sized street. There are a lot of chests hiding goodies amongst the signs and garbage.
![](5-psxfin_2007-04-11_14-29-23-04.jpg)
I wanted to avoid a "ha ha Chinese people eat cats" joke, but they make it hard.
![](6-psxfin_2007-04-11_14-31-13-75.jpg)
That capsule effect for this gun? Acid rounds. It gradually hurts enemies once hit with it, making it like a more reliable poison effect. Except it's ACID.
![](7-psxfin_2007-04-11_14-31-38-65.jpg)
Oh look it's Maeda, and he's poking at some goo.
![](8-psxfin_2007-04-11_14-31-41-54.jpg)
![](9-psxfin_2007-04-11_14-31-47-46.jpg)
![](10-psxfin_2007-04-11_14-31-51-67.jpg)
That better not be another stupid charm...
![](11-psxfin_2007-04-11_14-31-54-59.jpg)
YOU SON OF A WHORE
![](12-psxfin_2007-04-11_14-32-17-82.jpg)
After kicking Maeda in the nuts for cluttering her precious inventory, Aya heads into the sewers.
![](13-psxfin_2007-04-12_11-59-25-73.jpg)
Many many similar screens, almost all filled with bats. Bats like using sound waves to make Aya blind. Don't ask me how that works, I didn't make the game.
![](14-psxfin_2007-04-12_11-59-49-73.jpg)
![](15-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-00-51-00.jpg)
Shit! Wrong side.
![](16-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-01-22-25.jpg)
At least I found a nifty shotgun during the trip.
![](17-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-01-38-56.jpg)
There's a lot of decent items around the sewers, if you're patient enough to check out every single dead end.
![](18-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-01-56-12.jpg)
Finally, Aya finds the right path to the ladder.
![](19-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-02-08-62.jpg)
That's some creative graffiti.
![](20-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-02-13-18.jpg)
New club! The effects shown let Aya steal items and get the first attack. But this means actually using the club in combat, and I'm too much of a badass die-hard NRA hardcore motherfucker to use anything but the greatest tool ever: The gun.
![](21-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-02-50-92.jpg)
My penis is huge.
![](22-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-02-56-75.jpg)
It's what's left of that melted Central Park concert audience! I wondered where they went.
Showdown with the blob
![](23-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-03-05-53.jpg)
![](24-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-03-06-85.jpg)
![](25-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-03-09-12.jpg)
![](26-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-03-17-31.jpg)
![](27-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-03-18-17.jpg)
My reaction exactly. There comes a time when you have to take a step back, and realize you're having a standoff with a giant animated ball of human flesh.
![](28-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-03-21-75.jpg)
![](29-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-03-26-82.jpg)
The ball realizes it too, and decides to get out of here before things get too weird.
![](30-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-03-35-96.jpg)
You're drinking it right now.
![](31-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-03-41-75.jpg)
But before she fixes the slime tainting thing, Aya just has to see what's down this ladder.
![](32-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-03-47-06.jpg)
NO! WHY! I HATE YOU!
![](33-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-05-01-68.jpg)
Killing the stupid goddamn alligator clones and collecting the weaksauce tool they were guarding, Aya moves on.
![](34-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-05-05-92.jpg)
![](35-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-05-13-62.jpg)
Aya's greatest threat to date: A door.
![](36-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-05-25-65.jpg)
And she does! All it took was flicking a couple of switches.
The slime goes to Plan B
![](37-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-05-45-28.jpg)
I pity the poor city worker who has to clean all that flesh gunk out of the pumps when all this is over.
![](38-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-05-50-04.jpg)
![](39-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-05-51-14.jpg)
![](40-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-05-52-73.jpg)
Nobody likes a sore loser
![](../Smilies/mad.gif)
![](41-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-06-04-81.jpg)
Be sure to clean up after you're done. I don't want to step on any charged rails while I'm out there.
![](42-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-06-07-87.jpg)
![](43-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-06-10-68.jpg)
Whee, let's blow this joint.
![](44-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-06-19-40.jpg)
I'm so glad to be out of those dank, dingy underground tunnels. Now on to...
![](45-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-06-22-68.jpg)
...A subway. Argh.
![](46-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-06-56-14.jpg)
I have no idea where to go, so I'll just head up.
![](47-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-07-03-42.jpg)
Up was a bad choice. Boss fight!
![](48-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-07-08-75.jpg)
Little bastard spits poison blobs like a broken fountain.
![](49-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-07-12-67.jpg)
And what's worse, killing him is only half the battle.
![](50-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-07-14-43.jpg)
![](51-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-07-15-09.jpg)
It wouldn't be a centipede boss without it breaking into smaller pieces. The centipede bits just run in a pattern, waiting to be killed.
![](52-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-08-06-17.jpg)
With that out of the way, Aya checks out the abandoned train.
![](53-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-08-09-18.jpg)
![](54-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-08-14-31.jpg)
![](55-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-08-18-17.jpg)
Not bad. Not bad at all.
![](56-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-08-45-31.jpg)
![](57-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-08-48-45.jpg)
The tracks vanish into a bridge for some reason.
![](58-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-08-54-57.jpg)
I bet I need that to get out of the subway. Because walking over a barricade would just be too much effort.
![](59-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-08-57-76.jpg)
![](60-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-09-02-00.jpg)
Snap! Too bad we didn't go back to the museum after both Danny and Warner said Eve had a connection there, instead opting to chase after unconfirmed reports.
![](61-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-09-05-50.jpg)
Time for some backtracking, I guess.
![](62-psxfin_2007-04-12_12-09-09-14.jpg)
... which takes a whole 'nother CD to cover.
