All codes must be entered while playing.

All directional buttons (up, down, left, right) must be entered using the directional pad, not analog stick.

X, L, B, Down, L, R, Y, Right, L, A
Enables gore (i.e. decapitations and amputations)

thanks. Didn't need a code on the PC. I'll give it a shot tonight.

Can someone who has played the original clue me in ... is there an actual story to GTA3? I've done a few missions for a couple of different guys, and done a few killing sprees (that got old fast), but there doesn't seem to be any real point to this game yet. Is that all there is? Mission after mission?

Welcome to the world of open ended gameplay. Oh, and there is a story line... Look at the intro again. (You're a thug rising through the ranks of an underworld run by organized crime and gangs.)

Ok, one more semi-general question. Is the taxi place in Hepburn Heights next to the radio station the only place that you can pick up a Borgnine taxi? I'm just wondering if there's a place in Staunton Island or Shoreside Vale as well, or if I'm going to have to drive back to Portland every time I wreck the one in my garage?

thanks.

It is the only place to get a new one. The game does allow more than one to exist at a time, though.

Park one in each garage in each section of town for quick access, and replace it if you blow up the one you're using. I love this car too - nearly as fast as a sports car, handles really well and is very tough

My brother called me up today asking about something he heard a player could do in the PS2 version, but not on the X Box, and I'm wondering if it is true.

He said that in the PS2 version, when you're low on health, you can take a hooker into your car, and get busy with her and regain health. He said he hasn't been able to do that in the X Box version. I have no idea since I've never played any of the GTA games, but I might pick it up, since it's getting great reviews for the xbox.

Thanks

You can do the hooker trick even if your health is 100%. It will increase to 125% max.

You have to get the girl into the car then drive to a secluded spot (like behind some trees). If the car is a convertible you get the health bonus but miss out on the entertaining animation.

Go to Joey's garage. Across the street is a fence. Walk around the fence through the grass. The armor is in front of a wall that meets the fence, creating a dead end.
