Who here played GTA3?

[DMA57361]

I've got to say, it rocks. A bit disappointed there was no multiplayer in the PC version, but I wasn't really expecting it anyway . . . maybe in GTA4, eh?

I've also noticed I have the ability to stack any vehicle, totally by accident, at a random time . . . most anoying . . . and funny.

Tanks are good, but I get bored of them - I'd rather just dodge traffic in a Blista or something. Gandalf - you don't need a cheat, just finish the last mission and there's one free at the barracks. Take it to the Portland Docks there's a crane that takes emercany vehicals, give it one of each and you can go back and get a free one of any of them any time . . .

AFAIK. two of them are always parked in Portland, near the Joeye Leone (sp) garage, your second boss.

edit:

I now reached 81% of completion

I loved putting in the code that made everyone in the cities go crazy. They just start shooting people, running them down, beating the crap out of them and all sorts of mayhem. My kinda game especially jacking people for their cars. Except 4 the pieces of junk cars.

My sister just knocked Kenji off the map (Don Salvatore is long gone), is working with the Yardies & some business guy who wants her to pick up packages dropped off in the harbor before the cops do. I haven't had a real opportunity to play the game, since she's always on it - and I always play Blood Omen 2 when I get the chance. I'm not much of a fan of driving games, as I like more in depth storylines, but this is one of a few that I can truly say I enjoy. Graphics rock too.

I didn't know you could get on tour buses - but I've heard of the tanks and all - my sis is always wreaking havoc and shooting down the LCPD Helicopters (KOSHER!).

Also, a funny aspect and reason for a Mature rating: you can pick up hookers! Drive up to one of Luigi's girls on the street, let her hop in the car, drive to a dark alley, and watch the fun! It's awesome!

Using a code to get a tank!!!!

You haven't lived on GTA3 untill you have got 5 stars on your criminal meter and then steal a tank from there and then try and escape from the army and all there tanks.

It made me laugh the first time I did it because it ended up a tank drove infront of me so I got stuck and then an old woman came and pulled me out of my tank.

It can also be a fast vehical, turn the turret round start driving and give your self a couple of boosts every so often.

I also like flying a plane, I managed to fly it for 13 seconds once. In case some of you reading this think 13 seconds is pathetic, I don't think so as the plane has no wings.

Side note, I have finished the main story line but have still got loads of missions still to do.

Then when they get out you beat 'em up and get your money back

No offense, but 13 seconds IS pathetic
I successfully flew for about 5 minutes; made it from the airport to Portland and circled there until I accidently hit the Callahan bridge and crashed into the water.

The most stars I have gotten is 3. Haha. Makes me laugh so hard. I love that game.

I've only gotten a hooker to come in my car once, everytime I stop they always keep on walkin'. Is there a sure-fire way to get them in the car? Just curious!

Yes, the purpose of the hookers is to heal you, so you need to have less than 100 health, you can get to 125 with them

Nah, they will enter anyway. In fact, you can load up several hookers (as many as the passeneger seats in the car)

Aha, didn't know that only used them for health.

One just isn't enough huh?

[bump] to the right stuff

Yeah, move outta the way Lara Croft, I found my new addiction.
I finished the game a few weeks ago with a 65%, now I've started over again to try and get 100%

That reminds me - one of the things I enjoyed most was the commercials, and the talk-radio station. Brilliant, spot-on parodies of modern (American) radio.

All the music stations were brilliant, actually.

How ever did you fly a plane for 5 minutes, X? I could never manage much better than the 13 seconds that Jeffers could. Were there controls I wasn't using? What'd ya do?

Same controls, different technique.
Oh and I also read this:

Bah, direct link doesn't work. Goto

5 minutes? I've done it for over ten! The trick is to never let go of the acceleration button [up] and always tap "Dodo Down" whenever you see a bit of red peek over the very front of the wings (In an outside behind view).

Once you get the hang of it, it's really easy and fun. I've even made it to the top of Kenjis casino.

This is no trick, this is a requirement.

Anyway, I got bored flying...and never attempted to break my 5 min record.
