-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. How To...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
++++++++++++++++++++
+ 1a. FLY THE DODO +
++++++++++++++++++++
-Take off using the same runway as the jets that are taking off and
landing. You don't have to worry about hitting them since they are not
solid.
-Start at the end of the runway where the Dodo is found next to the
helicopter.
-Line up with the broken line on the runway. Push the X button and hold
the left stick forward. Look at the tail of the plane, when you start
to see sparks, let the stick return the neutral position. You should
lift off of the ground.
-Slightly tap the left stick forward to level out the plane. You will
need to do this constantly during flight. If the nose gets too high,
you will stall. An easy way to keep it level is when you see red above
the wings, tap the stick forward. You shouldn't need to pull the stick
back (only for advanced flying.)
-Don't panic! The plane will look like it is going to come down but it
won't, as long as you keep the plane level.
-To turn, slightly tap the left stick to the left or right, then
slightly tap it the other direction again to straighten the plane out.
Do not turn sharply...tap tap tap the left stick. I suggest turning to
the right and flying over the water to get the hang of the plane. Stay
somewhat close the coastline until you get used to flying and watch out
for the unique jumps. Don't fly too far out to sea because the game
will lock up or your plane will disappear from the screen or both.
*NOTE*: You do not have to hold the X button during flight. I believe
holding it will slightly increase your air speed. You will need to
release it during certain landings.
++++++++++++++++++++
+ 1b. FLY THE TANK +
++++++++++++++++++++
In order to fly the tank you have to input the "Flying Car" code:
Right, R2, Circle, R1, L2, Down, L1, R1
A message will confirm the correct entry.
Any car you drive will now have the ability to glide. The problem is
that once they are off of the ground, there is nothing to give them
forward momentum so they will only glide for a short time.
To fly the tank, you will use the cannon as continuous forward
momentum.
-Using the right stick, rotate the turret so it is facing behind you.
-Line up on the same runway used for the Dodo and press X to start
moving.
-Repeatedly press the circle button to fire the cannon. I suggest
firing about one every second or one every two seconds. Release the X
button.
-You will soon begin to lift off. Continue to fire and fly like you
would the Dodo. You will need to keep the tank somewhat level, but this
is not as critical as with the Dodo. Because you have a strong force
pushing you, you will be able to fly higher than with the Dodo.
-The tank does not turn as well as the Dodo. I have many tanks sitting
in the water around Liberty City from turning too sharply and going
into a death spin. You should use great care turning this beast.
*NOTE*: You can take off with the tank in Staunton Island using the
Callahan Bridge. Start a little past 1/4 way to Portland, turn around
and go with traffic, away from Portland. You will fly out over the
water towards the airport.
In Portland, use the cement area on the northern edge of the island
next to the water.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 2a. WALK THROUGH WALLS +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-Get a taxi or similar car.
-Park it perpendicular to the wall you want to walk through. It should
look like a "T". Make sure it is touching the wall.
VIEW FROM ABOVE:
________
________ <--- wall
| |
| |
|__| <--- car
OR TRY AN ANGLE:
________
________ <--- wall
\ \
\ \ <-- car
\__\
-Input the "Speed Up Game Play" code TWICE:
Triangle, Up, Right, Down, Square, L1, L2
-Run at the spot where the car and the wall meet. You should go
through the wall. You may have to reposition the car a few times.
-When you get through the wall input the "Slow Down Game Play" code
TWICE:
Triangle, Up, Right, Down, Square, R1, R2
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 2b. DRIVING UP THE DAM +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-Enable the "Better Handling" code:
R1, L1, R2, L1, Left, R1, R1, Triangle
-Go to the base of the Cochrane Dam. To the left is a wall that you can
drive right up. You hold R2 to look to the right and when you get to
the top, turn to the right and you will be at the top of the dam
building.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 2c. LOOKING THROUGH WALLS +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
(**Courtesy Of Psy**)
-Walk up to a wall until you stop.
-TAP down to turn around without walking.
-Enable the M16 or Sniper rifle and hold R1 to look through the sight.
-Use the left stick to rotate around toward the wall.
-You should now be able to look through it.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 2d. LOCKING CAR DOORS +
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
(**Courtesy Of Psy**)
There are two ways to "lock" car doors.
1.
-Enter the "Slow Down Game Play" code twice:
Triangle, Up, Right, Down, Square, R1, R2
-Neither you nor the police can get out of a car. You can cause havoc
and unless a foot officer comes, the police can not bust you.
-Enter the "Speed Up Game Play" code at least once to be able to exit a
vehicle:
Triangle, Up, Right, Down, Square, L1, L2
2.
-When someone tries to get into your car (police, hooker car jacker)
hold either R2 or L2 depending on the side of the car that they are
trying to enter.
*NOTE*: You need to have an Uzi in order for this to work.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Hard To Reach Places
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
There isn't much to do there. You can shoot down the Dodo that flies
over which gives you an instant 4 star wanted level. There is one area
that has an opening that looks like a cave. The other "openings" are
cracks between the rocks that you can fall through. You can shoot down
police helicopters as they come after you.
To get there:
-Get a boat near Asuka's place.
-Drive north until you get out of the "harbor".
-Turn right and soon you will see a buoy and then a group of rocks. Go
past these rocks to the next large group just past another buoy.
-Drive around the right side of the rocks until you see a big flat
spot.
-Land the boat here and get out.
-The opening is to your left (the water is to your back.)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 3b. THE "YOU WERENT SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO GET HERE..." SIGN +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This message was left from the programmers to let us know that we found
an area that we weren't supposed to. There may be two of these signs,
but I only know of one.
To get there:
-Go to the enclosed parking area that is across from the front of the
Love Media Building. It is where you do the "Kingdom Come" mission for
King Courtney. There should be a few cars parked there.
-Look at the buildings to the south. There should be many fire escapes
on the side of the buildings. This is the wall you need to go over.
-Get a tall vehicle like a Yankee or a Mule and park it in front of the
trash bins that are lined up against the wall.
-Use the Karuma that is right there to jump on top of the truck.
-Hop over the wall. You should be able to find the sign once you are
over the wall.
-To get out, there is a ramp that will allow you to get back to the
other side.
*NOTE*: You can try to jump the wall using the "Better Handling" code
R1, L1, R2, L1, Left, R1, R1, Triangle, Right, X
Push the L3 button while driving to jump.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 3c. CATALINA'S HELICOPTER ("THE EXCHANGE" MISSION) +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This will allow you to get to Catalina's helicopter before she takes
off. You will use the "Driving up the dam" trick listed above.
-When the cut scene ends, go straight across the bridge to the
industrial area of Shoreside Vale. Turn left at the first
intersection, take the first left you come to (3rd intersection), then
next left after that. You should be on a long straight away that will
take you under the bridge that you just crossed. Follow this road
until you come to the big orange dam building.
-When you approach the building turn to the left and you will see a
slanted wall.
-Follow the "Driving Up The Dam" steps above.
-When you get to the top you will see the place where Maria is being
held. Catalina's helicopter is at the far end of the building.
++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 3d. THE GHOST TOWN +
++++++++++++++++++++++
You will need to fly the Dodo or the tank here. You cannot get there
with a boat.
To get there:
-Take off from the airport using the same runway as the jets, *BUT* go
in the opposite direction (away from Staunton Island).
-When you lift off, turn to the right and follow the coastline.
-When you get past the dam, the coastline will curve to the right. *Be
careful, the Dodo sometimes flies erratically here* Most of the hills
here are not solid. Soon you will see a blank spot in the water. This
is near where the Ghost Town will appear.
-When you get close enough, the buildings will pop up.
-The buildings are not solid so you can fly through them. Apparently
there are a few solid areas near the dumpsters, but I have not
confirmed this.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 3e. THE UNFINISHED TUNNELS +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
These are the unfinished tunnels that are near the Cartel Mansion and
the Cochrane Dam in Shoreside Vale. There is an invisible wall between
you and the "outside". I was able to use the sniper rifle to get some
stars. It seems that the FBI won't go to the tunnel.
To get there:
-Follow the directions above to get to the Ghost Town.
-As you approach the Ghost Town, turn to the right towards the
hillside.
-If you look carefully to your left or your right you will see a brown
half-circle in the hillside. This is your target.
*NOTE*: The one on the right is harder to see.
-Make sure you have enough altitude. If not, turn around and circle
until you do.
-Release the X button to decrease your airspeed.
-Try to hit the right side of the left tunnel or the left side of the
right tunnel. You may bounce to the side and off the ledge into the
water. You just have to keep trying until you get it.
*NOTE*: On a few occasions where I bounced off the ledge, I was able to
recover and resume flying. More often than not however, I ended up in
the water.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 3f. THE ROOF OF KENJI'S CASINO +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is the highest roof of the casino, not the helipad that is on the
lower rooftop. There are no stairs to get here. It is possible to get
up there with a car.
To get there:
-Using the Dodo, take off from the airport using the same runway as the
jets. You should take off going toward Staunton Island. As you
approach Staunton Island, turn to the right and follow the coastline
past the Love Media building.
*NOTE*: This next step may not be absolutely necessary, but it was the
only way I had success.
-Fly past the casino toward Portland and the Atlantic Quays area.
-Before you reach Portland, turn to the left and basically U-turn back
toward the casino. (The reason for this is because the northern end of
the casino roof is hollow and you will fall through. This way you will
hopefully come to a stop away from this hollow area.)
-As you approach the casino, release the X button to slow your air
speed.
-When you get to the "right spot" pull back on the left STICK. Since
you released the X button you should stall and fall down onto the roof.
(If you don't release the X button you may do a loop when you pull back
and blow the landing.)
*NOTE* I can't really describe the "right spot" where you should pull
back. It depends on how fast you are approaching and your altitude.
-When you hit the roof, mash the circle button, R1, and the triangle
button to hopefully stop and get out before the Dodo rolls or falls
off.
-Be careful of the hollow areas: Northern end and eastern side where
you enter during the cut scenes.
To get there with a car:
(**Courtesy of Apoc13**)
-Enter the "Better Handling" code:
R1, L1, R2, L1, Left, R1, R1, Triangle
-Enter the "Slow Down Game Play" code:
Triangle, Up, Right, Down, Square, R1, R2 (you can input this code
twice if you want.)
-Starting on the north-west side of the casino, drive towards the black
angled roof.
-Push L3 to jump the car up onto the roof.
-Turn to the left towards the edge of the roof.
-Quickly make a U-turn and drive towards the top of the building.
-Push L3 again to jump to the next section of the roof.
-You can now exit the car and jump onto the rooftop.
-You can also drive or jump the car over the ledge onto the rooftop.
*NOTE:* Be careful of the northern end of the roof, it is not solid.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 3g. THE POLICE HELIPAD +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is the helipad that is on top of the police building in Staunton.
It is a good sniping spot but there is no protection from the
helicopters (who obviously don't take off from here).
To get there:
-Using the Dodo, take off from the airport using the same runway as the
jets. You should take off going toward Staunton Island. As you
approach Staunton Island, turn to the right and follow the coastline
past the Love Media building and the casino.
-When you get to the casino turn slightly to the left and you should
see the red H.
-As you approach the helipad, release the X button to slow your air
speed.
-When you get to the "right spot" pull back on the left STICK. Since
you released the X button you should stall and fall down onto the roof.
(If you don't release the X button you may do a loop when you pull back
and blow the landing.)
*NOTE* I can't really describe the "right spot" where you should pull
back. It depends on how fast you are approaching and your altitude.
-When you hit the roof, mash the circle button, R1, and the triangle
button to hopefully stop and get out before the Dodo rolls or falls
off.
+++++++++++++++++++
+ 3h. THE STADIUM +
+++++++++++++++++++
This is where the Liberty City uuuhhhh... team plays the Beavers. The
grass is not solid, but the ground below it is. You can see above the
grass by staying in the Dodo.
There are two ways to get into the stadium.
1. Use the "Walk Through Walls" trick described above.
2. Flying in.
To get there:
-Take off from the airport, using the same runway as the jets. You
should take off going toward Staunton Island.
-Turn left and fly over the statue and subway entrance that is found
near the front of the airport.
-Fly between the billboard and the struts for the lift bridge.
-It will look like you are going to hit the road, but if done
correctly, you should clear everything and be heading toward the
stadium.
-After the bridge has been cleared, release the X button.
-The stadium lights are not solid so don't worry about them. When you
are over the stadium wall, pull back on the left stick. This will
stall the Dodo.
-Be careful to stay away from the area near the steps that are going up
to the main entrance to the stadium. There is a hole here that will
drop you outside, near the steps.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 3i. THE PAN-LANTIC BUILDING +
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is the construction area near the Staunton Island hideout. It is
possible to get to the floor where you see the cut scenes with
Catalina, Miguel, Asuka and Maria.
To get there:
-Take off from the airport, using the same runway as the jets. You
should take off going toward Staunton Island.
-Turn left and fly over the statue and subway entrance that is found
near the front of the airport.
-Fly between the billboard and the struts for the lift bridge.
-It will look like you are going to hit the road, but if done
correctly, you should clear everything and be heading toward the
stadium.
-Release the X button and turn slightly to the right and head for the
green Pan-Lantic building.
-Make sure you have enough altitude to hit the lowest brown band going
around the building. This is an open area that you can walk around in.
-Fly into that brown band on either side of the cable that is holding
the box.
-Exit the Dodo.
++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 3j. THE LIGHTHOUSE +
++++++++++++++++++++++
The Lighthouse near Salvatore's House in Portland. There is nothing to
do there and you can't get inside. When you land on it, you must
constantly run or you will slip off. It is possible to get under the
lighthouse (inside the rocks).
To get there:
-Using the Dodo, take off from the airport using the same runway as the
jets. You should take off going toward Staunton Island. As you
approach Staunton Island, turn to the right and follow the coastline
past the Love Media building and the casino.
-Continue flying over the water along the coast of Portland. (You can
fly over Portland, but you have to be careful of the unique jumps that
will end your flight.)
-When you get close to the Lighthouse, release the X button.
-Crash into the lighthouse. When you get out, keep running or you'll
slowly slip into the water.
-To get under the lighthouse, continuously ram the rocks on the eastern
side.
-The boat should begin to sink in the water and push through the rocks.
-Continue to hold X and turn the boat from left to right.
*NOTE:* You may need to enter the health code (R2, R2, L1, R1, left,
down, right, up, Left, down, right, up) to keep the boat from blowing
up.
-To get out, ram the rocks in the same area where you got in. (**Thanks
to moneymangodfb for this tip)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 3k. THE CEDAR RIDGE OBSERVATORY +
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The observatory is found in Shoreside Vale, north of the Cartel
Mansion. As far as I know, it is inaccessible by foot or car. I don't
believe that the Dodo can get enough altitude to get there either.
That means the only way is to use the tank. Unfortunately, the
observatory is not solid so you can't land there.
To get there:
-Using the flying tank codes listed above, take off from the airport
using the same runway as the jets, *BUT* go in the opposite direction
(away from Staunton Island).
-When you lift off, gently turn to the right and follow the coastline.
-Continue to ease the tank to the right and fly over the Cochrane Dam.
At this point, stop firing the cannon, the tank will glide.
-You will see the observatory, steer the tank into it and you will go
right through and end up in the water near the Ghost Town.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 3l. THE LOVE MEDIA BUILDING +
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is the rooftop where you chat with Donald Love. There is a nice
Asian garden and a pond. You can see his treadmill and the empty box
from "Love's Disappearance".
To get there:
-Make sure you know which building is the Love Media Building. It has
a distinct exterior pattern.
-Using the flying tank codes listed above, as well as the "Better
Handling" code (R1, L1, R2, L1, Left, R1, R1, Triangle) take off from
the airport using the same runway as the jets.
-Turn very slightly to the right and head towards the Love Media
Building.
-You will need to level out the tank and stop firing the cannon a
little before you get to the building. Glide the tank towards the
rooftop and hit the brakes as soon as you touch the building.
Ever want to see a bunch of bums wandering around in a tunnel?
How to do it:
-Get a truck of some sort. The Bobcat that is parked at the gas
station works well.
-Drive into the Porter Tunnel near 8 Ball's bomb shop.
-Stop in front of the bums that are standing around in a circle.
-Get onto the roof of the truck and the bums will all walk away.
-Walk down onto the hood of the truck and four more will drop down from
the roof of the tunnel.
-Repeat.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 4b. GARAGE WITH WALK-THROUGH DOOR +
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
No need to use a garage door opener here.
How to do it:
-In Portland drive to the sawmill and take the street that is to the
south. You will see a street that is like a large "U". There is a
median that has trees to the left of this "U" street. This area is
considered the Atlantic Quays.
-The first garage is brown and has a blue door. This is the one, just
drive or walk through the door.
*NOTE*: The garage is on the opposite end of the street from the club
where you take Maria in the "Chaperone" mission.
-Warning! The police can and will follow you in there.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 4c. GARAGE WITH WALK-AROUND DOOR +
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
(**Courtesy of Psy**)
It is possible to get inside the garage where you finish the "Escort
Service".
How to do it:
-Go to the garage where you complete the "Escort Service" mission.
-Walk to either the left or the right side of the door. There is a gap
there that you can walk through.
-Once inside, use the M16, Sniper Rifle or the Rocket Launcher to look
around.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 4d. INSIDE JOEY'S GARAGE +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You can go inside and look around at the place where the cut scenes
take place.
How to do it:
-Use the "Walk Through Walls" trick.
-You can do it almost anywhere on the building except the blue doors on
the northwest side of the building (opposite the side where the "blue
spot" appears to accept missions.)
-Beware of holes inside the building.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 4e. THE EMERGENCY VEHICLES SHIP +
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It is possible to get inside the ship where the emergency vehicles
crane delivers the cars.
How to do it:
-Use the Dodo to land on the top deck of the ship.
-Walk to the side of the ship and fall down to the next deck.
-This deck is not solid so you will fall through.
-If you are lucky, you will land inside the ship on the side.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 4f. POLICE CAR INSIDE THE BUILDING +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It is possible to have a police car trapped inside the bank building
that is across the street from your Staunton Island hideout.
How to do it:
-From the entrance to your hideout, get your wanted level up. I don't
know how many stars are required, but I got 4.
-Look across the street you will see a police car trying to get through
the wall.
-You can either use the "Decrease Wanted Level" code (R2, R2, L1, R2,
Up, Down, Up, Down, Up, Down) or bribes to get the police off your
back.
-If you go to the front door of the building (the intersection near the
construction area), the police car should be there.
-Get a star and the cops will get out of the car and try to get you
through the wall.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 4g. ROOF OF THE MAYOR'S HOUSE +
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It is possible to get yourself and a car onto the roof of a building in
Staunton. The building is mistakenly called the Mayor's House. This
is not the Mayor's office shown on the map. This seems to be another
good sniping place. If you get into the hidden opening, the helicopter
cannot shoot you.
How to do it:
-The building is identified by two billboards that are right next to
it. One is a "Punk Noodles" sign and the other is "Fat Burger Kid"
sign.
*NOTE*: If you are on the Callahan Bridge coming from Portland to
Staunton, you will see the billboards as you come off of the bridge.
OR
From the hideout:
Turn right, drive to the first street past the park (the street becomes
the Callahan Bridge). The house is directly in front of you, the
billboards are to your left.
-Get a Stinger or a Banshee and wedge it between the billboards and the
building.
-The car should start to bounce on its own. If it stops, move it
slightly forward until it starts bouncing again.
-Eventually the car will appear on the roof.
-Mash Square, R1 and Triangle to exit the vehicle as soon as possible.
-You can get inside by finding the hidden opening on the north side of
the roof (you can't get to the ground. You "float" above the floor.)
++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 4h. THE UNDERWORLD +
++++++++++++++++++++++
There are a few different areas of the Underworld, which means that
there are a few ways to get there. They are not always connected to
each other. In the first Underworld you can run around under buildings
and streets. If you get the police after you they usually can't shoot
you unless you come up from the ground.
How to do it:
1.
-Using the Dodo, take off from the airport using the same runway as the
jets. You should take off going toward Staunton Island.
-Fly straight and when you approach Staunton Island you will see a
building to the right that has an alcove.
-Fly the Dodo into the ledges on either side of this alcove. You
should fall into the building.
-Exit the Dodo. You should se a big black "wall".
-Walk into this wall and you should fall down another level.
-You can now run around under the buildings and streets.
-If you go up the slope your head will appear above the street. Be
careful not to go too far up or you will pop completely out.
2.
-Follow the steps above to get to the Ghost Town.
-When you se the big blank area, dive down into it.

(you find a package there)

-Get a boat from the slips near Asuka's place.
-Drive the boat north.
-To your left, you will pass two coves.
-Soon after the second cove, to your left, you should see a small area
where the grass comes down to the water.
-SLOWLY drive the boat into this "grassy area".
-You will go through the land and into an underground area.
*NOTE:* There is a "hole" in the middle that will drop you and the boat
onto a Porter Tunnel.
-You can carefully drive the boat around the edge of the hole to
explore the area.
6.
-Go to the subway and wait for the train.
-When it stops, go to the front car and press Triangle.
-You should "levitate" into the train.
-Press Triangle again to exit the train.
-You will now be above the train.
-You can jump to get on top of the tunnel.
From time to time you will see cars floating around Liberty City. This
is usually a random occurrence that happens most often in Portland near
the hideout. The area of the street that dips down is where you will
see the floating cars. There are two ways to create a hovering car.
How to do it:
*NOTE*: You have to have completed the EV Crane to do this.
-Get a Yankee or a Mule.
-Go to the EV Crane and select the FBI car.
-Park the Truck at the spot where the EV Crane drops the cars off.
(Centered in the yellow stripes and lined up with the blue "bin".)
-If done correctly, the FBI car should be resting on top of the truck.
-Get into the truck and drive away.
-The FBI car will be floating in mid-air.
Use the Lift Bridge to make cars float: (**Courtesy Of thekosmicfool
part 2**)
-Go to the bridge and stop on the side of the lifting section that will
block traffic and make the blocked cars stop ON the lifting section.
-You will keep your car OFF of the lifting section.
-When the bridge goes up, the cars will bounce and when they get high
enough, they will drive away...floating.
To see cars driving in mid air:
-From your hideout in Portland, go right.
-Taking the left-hand lanes, go to the bottom of the hill.
-If you have a car, park it on the side of the road that is closest to
the buildings. Make sure it is off of the road.
-If you are facing your hideout, go to the right hand lane. Cars
should spawn and stop because you are in the road. Look back and
hopefully you will see a car in the air.
-If after multiple tries and the cars are not floating, run onto the
small hill that is on the opposite side of the road as the buildings.
Then run back into the street.
-You may need to try different parts of this area to get the cars to
float.

+ 4j. INSIDE THE STAUNTON ISLAND POLICE STATION +
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It is possible to get inside the police building. Be careful because
there is a hole on there that will warp you outside.
How to do it:
-Get a police car and get past the gates to the back of the building.
-Exit the car and face the building.
-Go to the left side of the building. There will be a break where the
little wall and the building meet.
-Go through the break to the side of the building.
-Turn to the right and you will walk through the wall.

+ 4k. DRIVING A BLOWN UP CAR +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ever want to drive around in a car that has been blown up? Well now
you can!
How to do it:
-Step in front of a car that is driving. You should be facing the
driver.
*NOTE*: Practice with a Taxi, they are easiest to do this with.
Use the "Slow Down Game Play" code for more time to put in codes:
Triangle, Up, Right, Down, Square, R1, R2 (**Courtesy Of s kalb**)
-Position yourself so you are slightly to the driver's side of the car.
-Input the "Blow Up All Cars" code:
L2, R2, L1, R1, L2, R2 Triangle, Square, Circle, Triangle, L2, L1
-QUICKLY input the health code:
R2, R2, L1, R1, Left, Down, Right, Up, Left, Down, Right, Up
-If done correctly, you should get inside the car even though it has
been blown up. The health code should put out the fire, but I
sometimes have to input it twice.
*NOTE*: You can take the car to the Pay -N- Spray. The car will still
be blown up, but it will now have all of its wheels.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 4l. STANDING DEAD PERSON +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
(**Courtesy of SSX001**)
Sometimes you can't keep a good man (or woman) down.
How to do it:
-Enter the "Speed Up Game Play" code TWICE:
Triangle, Up, Right, Down, Square, L1, L2
-Get in a car (a fast one works well) and run down some peds.
-Eventually you will hit one who will not fall down dead...but they
WILL be dead.
NOTE:
The police do not take kindly to this so be ready for them to come
after you.
-The dead person will not be solid so you can walk or drive through
them.
-Soon they will disappear.

+ 4n. TAXI MISSIONS IN ANY CAR +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you have ever wanted to do taxi missions in a Banshee or a
Dodo...look no further.
(**Courtesy of Toni Cipriani**)
How To Do It:
-Get into a taxi.
-Press and hold R3 to begin the activation of the taxi mission. (It
won't actually activate until you release R3)
-While holding R3, exit the taxi.
*NOTE:* It seems to be easier to control "The Guy" with the D-pad while
holding R3.
-Enter any other car.
-Release R3.
-You will now be able to do taxi missions in the car you entered.
*NOTE:* You can not do the other missions (Vigilante, Ambulance, or
Fire) using this trick.
*NOTE:* This may mess up your current game by not allowing you to do
taxi missions in a taxi or permanently leaving a pink dot on your
radar. Use with caution.
