Successful completion of this final mission leads to the player's ultimate victory. The word "RAPTURE!" explodes on the screen and the player vanishes from this world.
STRATEGY HINTS:
There are two keys to success in GTJ-IJ.
One is: Every time you see the real Jesus pop up, you must run Him over with your car or riddle Him with bullets. (It's easy to identify the real Jesus in the game, because He is standing upright.)
The other key to remember is: Every time you are confronted with a choice, ask yourself, "What would Jesus do?" Then do the opposite. Each such choice is rewarded by the game's audio shouting a deafening "Je-SUSS!"
