Thanks to the stupid Riot Code I tried I had to restart my game. I couldn't figure out how to undo the riot and it was impossible to be on the street ANYWHERE with all the gunfire and problems.

Anyway I restarted and I'm past the point I was before. I'm really impressed with the variety of missions so far and I look forward to the other islands.

Hope I get there soon.

Grand theft auto is the greatest game i have played in a long ass time you can do anything you want its great. Two thumbs way up buy this game immediatly lol

Thunderball

Yup, this game totally rocks.

I never liked a GTA game w/o weapons cheats, and now that I have those..this game is perfect.

The first time I did it, I kept switching cars. I had a couple of good trucks (can't remember the name, it was a pickup though). The second time I jacked a semi before I got the mission and did pretty good with that.

I have this on a 5-day rental and can think of little else. It's fantastic!

I'm still waiting for mine to ship from Amazon, so I can't beat up any hookers yet.

Approx how long does it take to get to the other Islands (in terms of missions?)? I'm still on the first Island currently on the Ice Cream Truck mission. This game is so bad ass!!!

So does it seem like there are less cops on the second island or is just cause the place is a bit bigger and they are more spread out?


Got three folks I could work for now and I'm sucking at all three missiosn they have for me. I just turned it off to take a break but I'm guessing I'm going to go right back to it as soon as I finish this..............

Low RG

Thanks for the info! I've completed a couple of missions for that guy.

On the next island, do you get to choose where your new hideout is?

MasterofDVD

Nope

Your new friends will provide you with the new hideout.

And I have to say that I hate the missions on this island. 2 of them are driving me nuts. I really do need a break from this game and I mean longer than a trip to the bathroom.

Lethal Nemesis

Damnit! I went to 4 or 5 different stores today and all of them were sold out! I had to settle with buying AC4 for now.

Low RG

That is TOO Funny!!

Game 7 of the World Series has given me a break from the game . When the game is over though, it's back to GTA3!!

Anyone know how to get the hidden package on top of Liberty Pharmaceuticals? I can't seem to find it/know how to.

Right now, I'm stuck on Turismo and the one were you have to pick up the guy from Joey's, then the guy played by the Matrix guy in Chinatown, then back to the one guy's house where you get jumped by the one guys. It's the one in the limo. Sorry to give away so much information

mwestep

Here is a tip for Turismo. First, get the Mafia Sentinel, and when you are ready to race, lightly tap the side of the opponent's car. Instead of the countdown, it will start automatically, thereby leaving you with a huge head start. Also, do not concentrate too much on the opponents racing you, concentrate on the road and the checkpoints, the opponents will drive recklessly toward the end. Good luck.

The best mission is:



I never did Turismo. Did I miss out on some good mission with the Lation gang? The second island is tough. Try some of the Jamican gangs missions! (EX:

tygloalex

Whoa, cool I didn't know that! I do try to concentrate on the road, but damn, it's tough by yourself. Maybe when I go hang out with my friend, he'll be able to tell me when to turn and stuff. And guess what's in my garage-Mafia Sentinel! Or maybe it was a cop car. (doh!!)

I finally cleared the Van Heist on Friday night--it took a while, but I did it. I realized there was absolutely no hurry to pick up the van. I jacked a few fresh cars, picked up some stars to clear out my arrest warrant meter, then went back several minutes later and got the van.

I've cleared several other missions since then--I believe I've cleared all the payphone missions (now I've got the Triads taking constant potshots at me thanks to my little flamethrower mission ). Right now, I'm stuck on the mission where I'm supposed to take out the Triad laundry trucks. I picked up the grenades from 8-ball's place, but I must be doing something wrong. It's very tough to pin one of those laundry trucks down to the point where I can hit it with a grenade. Usually, I get out, he takes off, and I gotta get back in my car and resume the chase...

This game is absolutely incredible. I played more this past weekend than I've played with any other single videogame in the same time frame in a long, long time. I was a huge fan of Driver, and this--this just takes it to that level I always wanted Driver to be at. Beyond the regular missions, the extra missions with the taxi, fire truck, ambulance, and police car are wonderful. I especially love the Vigilante missions. To smash some guy's car, then pop out and nail him with the shotgun as he runs down the street--pure gaming bliss.

I had a Vigilante mission last night where I was chasing this guy in a sports car, which made the chase very difficult. I finally plowed into him in a curve, sending both him and I into several rolls into buildings and pedestrians. He got out, I got out, and a running gun battle ensued. Then, he did something I've never seen before--he jacked my police car! I jacked a nearby cab, and now I'm chasing this wounded jerk trying to get my own police car back in the process! Of course, with the police car being pretty speedy, I couldn't catch him, and my timer ran down. That single Vigilante mission was more fun than some entire games I've played.

You don't have to use grenades to take out the trucks. For example, I slowed down one of them using a Triad truck that I jacked. I hopped out and threw out the driver before he could get started going again. Since I was near water, I drove the truck near the water and hopped out. I got into another car and used it to push the truck into the water.

bmello

What I did was jack the Fire Engine that is located by 8-Balls. You can ram the $hit out of the laundry trucks until they explode or pin them in. Once they are pinned, get out and throw a grenade or two. I also used a Mack Truck but the Fire Engine is the toughest vehicle I've had so far!

Aghama

BTW, you can push cars by yourself, you don't need to do it with another car.

G. Noel Gross

I shot up a mess of folks at the train station with a uzi pistol and then took off on foot down the middle of the two rail tracks. Police chased me for like 30 minutes or something. Hilarious.

Also, I love that when you run through blood ... little bloody footprints appear. That's so wrong.

QUESTION: Can you shoot the cop choppers? The auto-target doesn't work for me. Also, someone was talking about an airplane. Is that on the second island?

My rental is due back Wednesday. Ordered my own copy this morning. Can't wait!

AgtFox

I hear you can shoot them down ONLY with the rocket launcher, but they are able to be shot down. For some cool codes, go to Gamesages.com...you can have a tank drop right in front of you so you can wreck some havok for instance .

mwestep

Well there is also a Banshee (Dodge Viper) inside the car dealership place, just break the glass . Maybe if you can't get it with the sentinel, try the banshee. Although I think the sentinel has more armor.
