It was a fabulous moment, one I wish there was an abundance of, but a lack of variety and missions limits these kinds of anecdotes. I moved forward to the outhouse he was using, slit his throat, and sneaked back into my car just as the next chorus came on. One of my favourite moments of the game came when I had to go and kill a member of the Dixie Mafia Bad Moon Rising came on the radio in my Pontiac, and as I got out the car in a back alley not too far from my target, the chorus had just finished. Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Cash, Credence Clearwater Revival and Otis Reading all feature along with so many more phenomenal artists that you’ll always find a track to sing along to. The music is phenomenal, with every track serving the purpose of bringing the late 60s to life.
