Missions

Missions are storyline objectives that are given to the protagonist in the Crime of Your Life series by other characters that is needed to advance the plot of the game.
== Description ==
Missions act as the modern day version of levels. They are also the equivalent of quests in RPGs (Role-Playing Games). Although the missions are required to advance the plot, they can be completed anytime. Most missions are given by contacts (i.e. gang leaders, politicians, and much more) that need help in exchange for pay. This can be achieved either by in-person (in-game) or by phone calls. A great handful of missions are performed by the protagonist alone (or in a group in a mission).
Completion of the storyline is required for 100% completion as they introduce features such as controls, vehicles, locations, and much more. Various rewards are given after the mission (and for 100% completion), albeit this is optional.

== Passing A Mission ==
When the player successfully completes a mission, an on-screen "Mission Passed" message appears, along with the cash reward for the mission. A feature is a checklist, showing the player whether or not they have achieved certain criteria to 100% that mission.
== Failing A Mission ==
If the player does not meet an objective which contributes to completion of the mission, the mission will automatically be considered as a failure by the game and an on-screen "Mission Failed" message will appear, along with the objective that was failed (e.g. Wasted, Busted, or a target escaped). The mission immediately ends and the player must return to the starting location of the mission and retry the mission. Some games introduce mission checkpoints, and failing a mission in those games offers the player the option to retry a mission from a certain part of the mission without having to restart from the beginning.
Failing missions does not usually incur a financial penalty. Some missions show a specific "side mission ended" message when the player ends it manually or it ends due to an objective being failed, such as the Taxi Driver mission, while other missions will show a "Mission Failed" screen when interrupted in such a manner. The failure reason is usually shown regardless of how the game displays the mission being failed.
The most common situations that result in mission failure are as follows:
* Death.
* Getting arrested
* Killing an important character
* Destroying an important vehicle
* Abandoning an important vehicle/important character.
* Letting a target escape.
* Spooking/scaring a target.
* Not completing a task/mission within a certain time.
* Not finishing first in a race.
* Attracting police attention when stealth is required.
