HINTS
Get to Staunton Island early:
Use the following trick to get to Staunton Island before the bridge is fixed and before the subway is open. Go to the bridge to Staunton Island. Go past where the blockage cones are located, to basically be on the bridge. Enable the Dodo car code (press Right, R2, Circle, R1, L2, Down, L1, R1), then the tank code (press Circle(6), R1, L2, L1, Triangle, Circle, Triangle). Make sure you are all the way back to get enough room to take off using the tank (as a plane). Start firing the cannon backwards and accelerate. Keep firing the cannon backwards, and just as you get to the edge where the bridge has been broken, you will take off. Try and get back on the ground. If done correctly you will now be on Staunton Island. Note: When you cross the bridge, the "Welcome To Staunton Island" screen will appear to confirm success. Note: You can use nearly any car, but the tank has a better ability to fly higher.
Police bribe:
Get 45 kills in vigilante mode to unlock a police bribe that is available at your hideout.
Faster taxis:
Get 100 fares in cab mode to unlock faster taxis available at Borgnine in Harwood in Portland.
Bonus Buggy:
Complete the Mafia missions in story mode to unlock the Buggy. Return to Portland and go to the Diablo parking lot (where the mission phone is located) between 19:00to 24:00 to find the same Buggy glimpsed in Joey's garage from the Mafia mission. It will appear in the same location and change color each time.
Flying Dodo car:
Take the Dodo to the very end of the runway. Turn it around so its facing away from the edge. Hold X to build up momentum, while holding Up. Once you get enough speed, quickly hold Down. Once airborne, use normal controls to level out the car. Note: The small wings make extended flight extremely difficult, if not impossible.
Items:
The following items are always available at your safe house, and regenerate. The numbers indicated the number of hidden packages needed for that item.
10: Pistol
20: Uzi
30: Grenades
40: Shotgun
50: Armor
60: Molotov cocktail
70: AK47
80: Sniper Rifle
90: M16 or Flamethrower
100: Rocket Launcher
Infinite run:
To continue to run at a fast pace without fatigue, just tap X instead of holding it down. This helps when trying to give your character "exercise" so that he can run for longer periods of time as well.
Easy money:
Look out for ramps and high slopes. If you drive up them fast enough, you can jump certain obstacles such as buildings and truck trailers. If successful, you can get a "Insane Bonus" message, resulting in a lot of money.
Easy money 2:
When riding around in Island 2, look for a women dressed as a sprinter/jogger. Get out, then attack and kill her. After doing so, collect the thousands of dollars she leaves on the floor. Note: Becareful, you might alert the cops.
Staunton Island: Hidden package:
There is a hidden package on the hospital roof on Stauton Island. The package is on the corner of the building directly across from the stairs. To get the package, park an ambulance parallel, right next to the building where the package is located. Then, park any "van" perpendicular to the ambulance. Then, park any "car" next to the van. Finally, just jump onto each vehicle to get to the roof. The hospital parking lot contains plenty of vehicles to choose from.
Fastest car:
In Portland, go to the Capital Autos shop. Take a big car and ram it into the glass on the store to break it. Inside is the fastest car in the game, which resembles a Shelby.
Bomb Da Base mission: Kill guards easily:
Use the following trick to kill the guards on the ship easily, and allow 8-Ball to blow it up. Run toward the ship, then turn right after the building. Keep running all the way until the trails. You can find some drugs there. Take them, and run back along the building -- it is better to run with the fist and the X tapped. Climb the stairs on the left (at the end of the building). Position yourself on the roof facing the ship. Now you have a lot of time to aim at and kill the guards, until the effect of the drugs fades away.
Purge The Paparazi mission:
Rather than chasing down the boat, simply walk over to the wall next to A's apartment. When you have a clear view of the photographer's boat, select the "bazooka" weapon and pump three shots into the boat. If done correctly, this will result in instant victory without getting your feet wet.
Speed Boat mission:
Before you go to see Donald Love (the mission after saving the older oriental gentleman), pick up a 2 1/2 ton truck in the weapons yard at the northern most part of Staunton Island. Go to see Love, then after the mission begins, head for Asuka's. Back the truck slowly into the opening for the docks and leave it there. Go down the stairs and get in the speedboat. Pick up the packages -- when you have them all, your wanted level will be at 5. Return to the dock outside Asuka's. You can land the boat onto the dock. Run up, get in the truck, and head back up the road. Take the alley on the hill. This is where the Pay 'N Spray is located. Park the truck so it will block traffic from behind you -- you cannot paint it. The black cars are loaded with four FBI agents with assault rifles. You can now do one of two things. Either get in the mini van and get in the Pay 'N Spray; but if for some reason you cannot, then run up to the Pay N' Spray and hide in the garage bay. In a few seconds, the only thing around will be the helicopter. Once you get near the road again, the FBI comes out in force. Get one or two cars to follow you into the alley area, then run back up towards the Pay 'N Spray and get out your assault rifle. If done correctly, you should have at least one FBI car near the ramp. Take out the agents and be careful not to shoot the car too much. Steal the FBI car and take it to the Pay 'N Spray. They will paint it since it is unmarked. From here, you can park the car in your garage. You may want to keep it since it is one of the hardest cars to get. Steal a car and take the packages back to Love. Note: You must go in the Pay 'N Spray to get rid of your wanted level.
Two Faced Tanner mission: Killing Tanner
Take the Yakuza Stinger from Asuka, and find 8-Ball's auto shop on your map. Take the Stinger to 8-Ball's and rig it. Next, drive to Kenji's casino and pull in front of Tanner's car (the stationary Esperato). Press Circle, quickly get out of the Stinger and speed run to the blue circle. If timed correctly, Tanner will run out, pull open his door, and attempt to enter.
To Get a Tank:
Raise your wanted level to 6. Next, find a way to get it back to level 0, no matter what. Then, go to Phil's Weapon Shop at the very tip of Staunton Island. You should be able to enter the tank there.
