Hints & Tips for Grand theft auto If you are ever needing to turn sharply. Hold down the brake and hit the gas and turn. A sort of handbrake turn! It's better with the faster cars. There is a file in the gta/gtadata folder on the CD called special.fxt If you back up the file called english.fxt on your hard drive, then replace it with the special.fxt file (renaming it english.fxt in the process). You will find there will be a lot more swearing going on!!! Having trouble with car alarms and sirens in a stolen car? Exit and enter it again and the alarm/siren will stop. If the police are chasing you, stop at the side of the road and wait for the police car. When it skids so the drivers side is facing away from your car, wait for the cop to get out and then bump into his car. It will roll back over the cop leaving you 10,000 points and a cop car! When you are being chased by the cops, jump over cars as you are running away (the police will run around them) it will slow them down until you find a car to make your getaway. When you start the game jump over the car in front of you and wait in the road and a beast GTS will drive past. Steal it, then head along the road and in the first crate is a machine gun. Now your prepared for anything! Try running over a train platform when a cop is chasing you on foot. You can make it if you run straight over. If you then run up or down the platform, the cop will run over the rails diagonally and get burnt to a crisp. 10000 points! While you are in a train press Ctrl+Alt and you can control the train with the arrow keys. In Libery City go to the distict of Law Island, pick up one of the 2 superbikes left on on the corner. Ride up the side of the bridge that is directly north and take the first opening on your right, hit the power and jump onto the island where you will find an extra life, a get out of jail free card, a multiplier up and another bike in case you trash the first one. On the second small island you will find a machine gun. Now you can use one of the bikes to jump back across to Law Island. If the cops are after you, find a train station and get in the next train. Just Keep going round in circles until you find a clear station to jump off at. There are always vehicles without car alarms, and 9 times out of 10 there will be a coach. Jump into one of these vehicles and use the time to find an Auto Shop! If you are being chased by police in Liberty City, get a car and drive into the park, just south of your starting location. But you must stay in the car or the cops will come into the park. Cops never bring their cars into parks, they will only enter on foot. To find out how many points you require to complete the chapter, press F6 on your keyboard. This will pause the game and you will get changing text, telling you how many points you need to complete the chapter and how many secret missions you have found.(If this reads 0, check the cheats page for a guide to the secret missions) A high multiplier is great but when you get caught it gets halved, but if you use the unlimited lives cheat (see cheats page)you can kill yourself before you get caught, that way you still keep the multiplier. suckmyrocket Give all weapons + armour + get out of jail free card itsgallus All cities in the game!! nineinarow All cities in the game!! stevesmates No police (Things can get rather chaotic) porkcharsui Pressing C in game will show a car speed + damage display callmenigel Gives every item in the game + pressing * refuels all your gun ammo!! itstantrum Unlimited Lives itcouldbeyou Gives you 999999999 points iamthelaw No Police iamgarypenn Armour + get out of jail free card 6031769 Unlimited lives A Guide To GTA Grand Theft Auto 487h (a) Every person who feloniously steals or takes any motor vehicle, as defined in Section 432 of the Vehicle Code, any trailer, as defined in Section 619 of the Vehicle Code, any special construction equipment as defined in Section 527 of the Vehicle Code, or any vessel, as defined in Section 28 of the Harbors and Navigation Code, is guilty of Grand Theft Auto, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for 16 months or two or three years or a fine of not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or both, or by imprisonment in a county jail not to exceed 1 year or a fine of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000), or both.

Intelligently controlled Police, Fire and Ambulance services. Extreme violence. Working Public Transport (Eat your heart out Britain) :-). Police forces ranging in aggression from mild to lunatics. More violence. Full 24-Bit color running in real-time. 3Dfx Compatibility. Mad singing Monks (See monks page). The Police & How To Evade Capture If The Cops- Solution- Set Up Roadblocks Find a large vehicle like the juggernaut and wreck those roadblocks!!!!

Catch You Not much choice really, but try to avoid this scenario!! Try to avoid seeing red and blue lights on your screen unless absolutely necessary, or you like Prison food. The police will only shoot at you if there are 3 officers at the top of the screen, or if you shoot at them they will fire back. As a last resort, drive as fast as !@*#ing possible and hope for the best!!! How To Get Yourself $35,000 & In Lots Of Trouble With The Police Find a group of monks. (The people with the orange robes) Jump into a very fast car e.g Beast GTS, Penetrator. Because if you are in a slow car the monks will just slide over the bonnet Mount the pavement and mow down as many as you can!!!!!

Get yourself to an autoshop fast and have your car sprayed. Watch out for police roadblocks!!! Using a car isnt the best method of getting a massive GOURANGA bonus.

Easy Tank On the first city, access the second scene (Heist All Mighty.) When you start, run somebody over and wait for the ambulance to arrive. When it does, nick it and drive to the army base, drive in and you can nick the tank. Note: This only works with an ambulance or a police car. Gang Leader Go up to a group of Gurangas, or the groups of people making noise and running around following each other. Now, don't shoot them, but instead beat up the person in the front. If you beat him up enough, they will start following you almost anywhere. It's a good way to get a guranga with a machine gun, flame thrower, or other high powered weapon of death. Train Hijacking At any train station, enter the train and press CTRL to gain control of that train. Walk in the Sewer From the starting location, in Liberty City, go north on the starting road past the park, all the way until you get to the Beast, then go north on that road, around the bend until you get to the next major 3-way intersection. Take an immediate left on that major road. Go over the bridge and take a right on the road, heading north, immediately after it. Go past the Hospital and Police station, then take a left on that major road. Follow that road until you get to a 3-way intersection with a 6-lane road. It is the first sewer on YOUR right. Get out of your car and step on the curb next to the sewer, you should fall through. BEWARE: Once you fall in, you can't get out. Drive your car on it for a nasty surprise.
