(They removed the original video from GamerTrailers.com. This is a video of how the game plays when you make the main character "drunk")

I would be honored, Jenn. It would be a glorious death; hopefully enough to ensure my entrance into Valhalla.

[gimmeurblood]

im so stoked for this game to come out. since i dont vacation or anything i took off work for two days just so i could get a 4 day weekend and two of those days paid, to sit around and play what will undoubtedly be the best game ever...im a ps3 guy so when the game comes out keep this thread alive and lets post some gametags

Thats a total misrepresentation of the truth.

The PS3 version of the game actually has better display and visuals than the 360 according to

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=286037 (this is from the latest issue of EGM )


Also the 360 is not getting an "expansion" just some additional DLC that the PS3 version will not be getting.

The PS3 will however be getting it's own additional DLC (Down loadable content) , just not the exclusive extra the 360 will get.

I might sound a little bitter, but I've gone through 4 360's since last year. Probably the worst console I've ever had.


Never listen to the kids at the video game store. They are getting paid near minimum wage and don't know there ass from their face.

Uh huh. You can't handle my mad Xbox skills. I'd be surprised if you'll have figured out how to turn the console on by then. :)

[rick_932]

ill be coppin this game next tuesday. had it preordered on the 360 since early last year, hah.

i do think it's a good idea for us to play some games together on live. another way to bring this community closer. peace

[TomSelis]

The scuttle butt is you can download it and play it on modded Xboxes now.....

I might look into modding my xbox.

[Daponster]

Fuck yeah Videogames!

way to kill my hard-on debbie downer :cry:

[emilyts]

The game is quit fun and amazing been playing for about 4 hours now, burnt copy but hey for those that are waiting it is well worth the wait and money.

[santiago316]

They said the Ps3 version looks SLIGHTLY better than the 360 version. I personally can't wait for this game to finally come out, it should be really fun.

[hwbs]

who cares about expansion...that is like bitching 4 an expansion for oblivion...u can play the game 4 ever to begin with...we may have to pay for our online access but it is way superior....

[rick_932]

Here's a site for you to track your gta4 stats, if youre interested in shit like that:

https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/

[rawrr]

Fuck I really want this game, but play.com only posted it on Thursday so I won't get the game till about Monday or Tuesday and it looks so awesome. =D

[McB]

The only problem with this game coming out is that I'm addicted to playing Call of Duty 4 online. Can't decide if I should get it for the PS3 or the 360.

[hwbs]

i suck at cod 4 online...i bought it for 35 bones around new years @ best buy then mine broke....i get it back 2 months later and i get callled noob record # of times on LIVE....back to playing gears of war 4 now where cheaters and trash talkers , and stoners reign supreme !!!!!

[McB]

You just need to team up with somebody on line who can show you some of the tricks. The longer you play, the higher your rank and the better your guns and perks are.

[hwbs]

i have played a total of 4 times...i think i am rated around 12 or 13...i have a few friends ranked high but they are all in clans ...

[bigwll212]

should I get It for ps3 or 360?

[Fox]

Gamertag: Fox the Sly
Add me, bitches. :D

Can't wait...!

[unctrld1]

Just saw the actual gameplay on the X-Play show on G4TV. The game looks awesome.

[rick_932]

should I get It for ps3 or 360?

depends on your preference. the ps3 version is slightly better in terms of graphics. i have a 360 so im getting it for the 360. if youre into multiplayer, then the 360 version will most likely have the most people playing multi.

[patrick68g]

well gta is going to big game cant wait to it release you knew what after that metal gear solid 4 best graphics ever seen on a console

[NYCe]

This 360 controller takes some getting used to (especially after years of owning a PS2).

The music stations in this game rock. Driving is tricky though.

[tommymageeshemales2]

An FT article this morning said, GTA will sell 6m copies worldwide in its first weekend of release, and will generate revenue of $400m. Gamers, make an X on your gaming time line for the day you pick up GTA IV. Hell, make a big frickin' X.

[blckhaze]

never got into the GTA series. I like mindless violence, but this game never took hold of me. Maybe its too much reality, not enough fantasy.

[Harrys Boy]

Im officially happy now ive just been told mine has been dispatched!! From the reviews i've seen looks like this game is getting 100% across the board, this may be the best game made so far, looks like i'm finally going to have to give Oblivion a break...

[Legend]

I will be getting the ps3 version.

[Legend]

Mario Kart is far superior and less damaging.


It should be a crime to mention that kiddy shit to any GTA game.

I concur 100% heh.

[hwbs]

my friend has been playing it since friday...he loves it...

[NYCe]

They have bodegas in this game! Wow.

[Ne0n S0ul]

Ps3 tag ----- Ne0nS0ul

[BBaggins06]

my friend has been playing it since friday...he loves it...

I just hope he's not connected to Live while playing it. He's just begging to get caught and sued if he is. :)

[nosurrender69]

Well I dont know if it matters BUT IGN gave it a PERFECT 10 and they have not given a game a 10 in over 9 years.......fact....Of course you all know your gonna get it anyways.

Hmmmm i wonder if I can call in GTA, to work tomorrow....

"Yeah hey, it's me I can't come in I have GTA4 and I hear it's contagious...in fact I think I better take the rest of the week off to be safe."

[javaikky]

Ps3 tag ----- Ne0nS0ul

Picking it up after work today

[hwbs]

my friend has been playing it since friday...he loves it...

he just cant connect to gta online mode...when i was on live last night i saw him on..he had unlocked like 160 achievement points by then...

[hwbs]

i have been playing it 4 awhile today..i must say that the combat system reminds me of the game bad dudes...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....but hey i have never been a huge fan of these games anyways..

[Harrys Boy]

Got it today, quite hard to control compared to the rest of the series, but it really does have a epic kind of a feel to it and you know its going to be special. The best thing apart the game so far are the cut scenes and the amazing dialog in them. Pretty accurate depiction of new york too..

[tsntx]

This 360 controller takes some getting used to (especially after years of owning a PS2).

The music stations in this game rock. Driving is tricky though.

u can switch it to classic mode and its the same as it used to be on ps2

[tsntx]

this game is suhweeeeet!

It's not so much the button postions but the actual layout of the buttons on the controller. Knobs and stuff everywhere where I'm not used to them being. I'm fiddling like a High School kid in a back seat trying to take off a girls bra.

I've gotten MUCH better though. Made it all the way to Manhattan (excuse me, I mean Algonquin).

[underdog6]

I can live without it.

It seems apparent that you might be slightly retarded if you went through 4 360's in a year. I've had mine for over a year and have never had a problem, nor do I know anyone that has, with the exception of my buddies dog knocking his over and scratching a game, but he had it vertical, which is stupid IMO. Take care of your systems and they'll work fine, I've had over 20 different video game systems since the early 80's and have never had a problem.

[stevewhammy]

awesome game, i am torched right now and playing

[hwbs]

i love the 360 controller...driving is a pain when u have to chase someone ,lol

[BRONXBODY]

Hows the game play been? I've heard ps3 has some issues with Online and the game freezing. I've experienced it myself. I think the map is awesome. I'm from New York and I love the rendition of the neighborhoods I grew up in lol. It's amazing! Every kids dream to basically live in a video game!

[Fox]

I got mine on the 29th and the game's been awesome. It crashed once on me about 2 hours in and hasn't happened since. I haven't given online a try yet, partially because I want to focus on the main story and I don't want idiots discussing plot details and spoiling my experience.

I'm a little disappointed with 102.7 The Beat (rap station), but it's not all bad, plus there's a classic rap station too. I fucking love the TV shows (Republican Space Rangers had me rollin lol) and the commentary is as witty and clever as always.

It took me a little while to get used to the graphics. GTA has never been known to be groundbreaking in that area, but considering the sandbox style of gameplay, it gets a pass. It looks like the game was ran though a photoshop filter, but whatever. Character models and facial animations are fantastic, especially on Niko. There are lots of subtle details that make the game more believable too.

Car handling isn't as responsive as San Andreas, but I think that's that due to the new physics engine (Euphoria, I think), so it takes a minute to get used to, and the sense of speed is there but isn't quite the same (at least for me).

Awesome game, worth every penny. :D

[hwbs]

Anubis1079 i am not retarted and have had 3 360's in a year , lmfao....

[TGL]

I got the game yesterday and I've been playing it for many hours since. I have loved every GTA game ever made and this is no exception. Simply moving around in this huge and fantastic environment is a pleasure on its own!
I do think the cars seems to be a little to light. Even with a big Hummer, you can fly really high, just by driving over bumps on regular roads. It is of course fun to be flying, but not very realistic :P

[undiscovered_soul]

hey just some cheats for the 360 if anyone is interseted. just dial these numbers into the cell phone. for all weapons 486 555 0100. for armour dial 482 555 0100 and for a helicopter dial 359 555 0100. and more weapons 486 555 0150. and the best thing is once you have dialled them the number stays in ur phone under cheats so u dont need to keep typing in number. i have a few more aswell ill post them later.

[rick_932]

# Easy money

Go to an ATM, then cause a traffic jam to the area. Wait for someone to take money from the ATM, then kill him or her. Make sure to block any nearby roads so the ambulance cannot get to the murdered victim. Take the money they dropped on the ground. Then, run a short distance away, and go back. The money should have respawned on the ground. You can repeat this as many times as desired. You can also kill more people taking their money from the ATM to increase the amount of money that respawns. -From: Khairol161
# Easily lower wanted level

If you want to get rid of your wanted level, simply start a mission. Your wanted level will instantly go away. If there were any police cars chasing you, the police will be gone but the cars will still be there. -From: D2

To lose your wanted level, simply enter a safehouse, and save your progress. When you wake up, your wanted level will be gone.
# Repairing engine

If the vehicle you are driving breaks down and the engine will not start, call "911", and your engine should start again.
# Parking more vehicles

Outside your first hideout is a small parking area to park your vehicles and save them. Instead of parking your vehicles fully within the lines, you can park your vehicles partially within the lines to allow for more vehicles to be parked and saved. -From: Zane

At the start of the game it would appear that you can only save two vehicles parked in the "Residents Parking Only" parking spaces in front of your safe house. However, if you can find other "Residents Parking Only" places around the city, you can also save vehicles there even if you do not have a safe house at those locations yet.

If you attempt to use the trick to keep more than two vehicles in any one parking space, it will only work until you leave the current game session. If you shut off your system, play a multiplayer game, or load your most recent save, all but two of your vehicles will have disappeared. It seems to either save the two vehicles closest to the center of the parking space or two at random.
# Fast travel

To avoid wasting time driving all the way across the city, call a taxi. They will take you to your destination for your mission, stores, safe houses, or even a waypoint marker. You can skip through the taxi ride, allowing you to travel across the entire city in about ten seconds. This can also be done during missions.
# Easy headshots

It is sometimes difficult to get headshots, which do count. With some practice, doing the following is an easy way to get headshots. Press [Auto-Aim], then use the Right Analog-stick to move the auto-aim target around your victim's body. Barely move the Right Analog-stick as you are shooting. This puts bullets in the chest and head, and results in an easy instant kill.
# Easy emergency vehicles

Dial "911" on your cell phone. You will reach a voice menu that allows you to call the police by dialing "1", an ambulance by dialing "2", or a fire truck by dialing "3". Select the vehicle of your choice, and wait for them to arrive. They will stop and look around for the emergency, allowing you to easily steal their vehicle.
# Getting away from police

When running away from the cops, you will have a circular area in which they look for you. However, if you get out and another cop sees you, it changes. To use this to your advantage, barely get out of that circle, which you will see on your radar. Then, just sit there for about five seconds instead of flooring past it.

If you are at a four star wanted level or less, find a place with grass or sand. The cops will follow you in, but they usually cannot get back out. You can then just drive away.
# No wanted level when arrested

When you are being arrested by a cop, instead of pressing A immediately, click Right Analog-stick to crouch. You will still be able to walk away, but you will not get a two star wanted level. -From: reaver456
# Calling for backup

Steal a police car, and any time you are in trouble, press L1 while your car is stationary. Select "Call For Backup", and within minutes you will have two cruisers full of police who will fight on your side unless you shoot someone. Note: They will turn on you when they realize you are not a cop.
# Killing pedestrians without fighting

You can kill most pedestrians by repeatedly running into them against walls. This is a good way to get easy money without alerting the police.
# Regaining health during missions

You can leave the mission area and go to a Cluckin' Bell, hotdog stand, etc. and eat food to replenish your health if you are low and cannot find a health pack. This is especially useful on missions where there are no health packs in sight. Note: You can also take a taxi to those locations during missions.
# Avoiding toll booths

Drive through any toll booth with any emergency vehicle with the sirens on. The booth attendant will open the gate, and you will save $5.

Drive a normal car up to the toll booth. As you get close, slow down and jump out while making sure the car passes through the booth. Then, walk past the booth, and get in your car. -From: Mike

While in a vehicle or on a motorcycle, drive up to the toll booth. Stay on the far side of the booth. Niko will stick his arm out but not put money in the basket, and the gate will still open.

Drive a motorbike to the side of the pay toll wall. You will not pay a toll if you can drive through the small gap on the sides.
# Free taxi rides

Get in a taxi, but do not skip the ride after choosing your destination. When you are approximately two blocks away from your destination, break the window, and start shooting. The cab driver will get out and run away, allowing you not to have to pay for the ride. You can also kill the cab driver and take his money, so he is actually paying you for the taxi ride. -From: DemonUrameshi Naruto
# Free health boost

Enter an ambulance to get a small health increase.
# Free shotgun shells

Enter a police cruiser to get five shotgun shells.
# Getting Desert Eagle early

To get the Desert Eagle before you can buy it, kill the gun salesman in Broker that has it equipped, and then take it from him.
# Getting Remington shotgun early

You can get the good shotgun early in the game by simply going to the strip club. On the way out, there is a manager's office that you can enter. There is a large Remington shotgun on the floor you can take.
# $100 for all ringtones and themes

After getting the phone from Playboy X, go to the nearest Internet Cafe. Buy all of the ringtones and themes from the ringtones site. Log out of the computer, and you will notice that you only paid $100 for all ringtones and themes.
# Claude outfit

Kill Playboy X and get his penthouse. Then, save the game, and restart the Xbox 360. When you reload your saved game, look through your outfits, and you should have Claude's outfit (the main character in Grand Theft Auto 3). Everything from the leather jacket, the green cargos, and the black shoes with the white stripe on the bottom should be there.
# Hidden shirt

There is a secret Happiness Island shirt laying at the highest point on the statue's base that can be reached by foot. It looks like a glowing red rectangle. Once it is picked up, Niko will automatically put it on. It is a navy blue sweatshirt. The front shows the statue and reads "Happiness is..." and is continued on the back with the word "...land".
# Sultan RS

This car can only be found in the northeastern-most part of the final island. It is stashed in some bushes behind the small shack up a dirt road.
# Phone numbers

Dail one of the following numbers on Niko's cell phone to call the indicated service:

Emergency Services: Dial "911" to summon the police, fire department, or an ambulance.

Zit Song Identifier: Dial "948-555-0100" if you hear a song you like on the radio, dial this number to get a text message with the name and artist of the song.

# Police database

Go to a TW@ Internet Cafe, log into a computer, and enter "www.libertycitypolice.com" as a URL to go to the Liberty City Police Department website. Click the "Database" tab at the bottom of the home page to get information on all characters, including Niko and Roman.

# Moving up stairs faster

Instead of running up a set stairs, try jumping up them to move faster.
# Shooting people with water cannon

Steal a fire truck, then press [Fire] while driving around to shoot the super water cannon at people around you. You will get many funny reactions from the people that you shoot with it.
# Burnout

While in a car, hold [Accelerate] + [Brake] to do a burnout. If you keep doing this, the smoke will change color and eventually your tires will burst.
# Easy strikes in bowling

Select the first lane (all the way to the left). Take two full steps to the left. Hold Right Analog-stick Down for about a half second, then press Right Analog-stick Up. Do not add any aftertouch to the throw.
# View Statue Of Happiness' heart

Once you gain access to Happiness Island, find the Helicopter Tours, which is directly east of Happiness Island, and steal a helicopter. Fly to Happiness Island and over the Statue Of Happiness, then jump out of the helicopter at the statue's feet. You should land on the top-most tier of the statue, which is basically a square platform with a door in the center of each side. Run around the platform until you see a door with a plaque on either side of it that reads, "No Hidden Content Here". It may seem like you cannot go through the door, but you can -- it doesn't open, you simply walk through the door. You will find an empty room with a tall ladder inside. Climb it, and when you reach the top, look up to see a huge beating heart, held in place by chains.
# Online dating

You can date people from the in-game internet. When looking at their profile, click "Date". You will then have to wait a few in-game days for a negative or positive reply via email. If your date accepts, reply to their email, and meet them.
# Stopping police siren

Shoot out a police car's lights with a gun to make the siren malfunction.
# No helmet on motorcycle

Use the following trick to ride a motorcycle without Niko wearing a helmet. Tap Y at any point during the animation where Niko puts the helmet on, but before the helmet actually appears. Doing this cancels the animation, and Niko will not wear his helmet. If you wait too long and press that button after the helmet has appeared in Niko's hand, it will still cancel the animation, but the helmet will immediately appear on Niko's head.
# Ice cream truck music

When you steal an ice cream truck, turn the music on. It will change speed depending on how fast you are driving. If you reverse, so will the music.
# Honking traffic jam

Drive up to an intersection, and start honking your horn. Other vehicles will join in and honk as well. If you honk your horn near a police car, they will run their siren to honk with you.
# Endless armored cars

There is a glitch in Aldeney at the intersection of Tudor and Port Tudor, close to the prison where you visit Gerald. You can find a total of nine armored trucks arriving back-to-back. Highjack one, then block the road. Another one will appear. Blow them up one-by-one. There is a total of approximately $1,100 on each truck, which is especially useful when just starting out or if you need money.
# Fall through ground

Drive a large vehicle, such as an SUV, to Francis International Airport. Drive sideways under a moving plane so that the wheels are pushing into you. Sometimes you and the car will drop below the world. After a few seconds, you will respawn back on land with the vehicle gone.
# Swim under city

Go to the north part of the map, just northwest of Butterfly Street in Bohan. Then, get down to the outskirts of the land, and walk towards the corner between the brick wall and the cliff. You can walk through the invisible wall. Lookup towards the city to see the city from below. You can also continue onwards and swim under the city.
# Skull box inside Packie's head

Position Packie between the camera and Niko. Move until the camera is inside Packie and look at the center of his head to find a box with skulls.
# Random character missions

There are six on the first island (three for Brian, and one each for Mel, Ilyena, and Badman), twelve on the second island (three for Jeff, two each for Marnie, Sara, and Pathos, and one each for Hossan, Clarence, and Cherise), and four on the third island (two for Eddie Low, and one each for Gracie and Ivan).

# Easy escape path in Holland Nights mission

As you are going up the stairs to chase Clarence, you will see a green health kit. Do not take it. Continue chasing Clarence, and follow the advice of McCleary about not using your weapon until you are on the second floor; otherwise, Clarence will just get into a vehicle and leave. If you wait until you are on the second floor, he will climb to the roof. After you have chosen Clarence's fate, you will instantly get a three star wanted level regardless of what you selected. You must battle your way out. Since you are going down, you have a distinct disadvantage in cover and will take lots of damage. To give yourself an advantage, park a fast car on the street near the opening in the gate at the start of the mission. Do not pull up to the gate. Use the stairs to your right to give chase. Once you have gotten to the roof and chosen his fate, descend to the level with the first aid kit (green box). Since you left it there on your way up, you will know what level you are on and can power up. Go to the side of the building where your car is parked, and jump over the railing. You will not lose much health when you land. Sprint to your car, and get away from the cops. If done correctly, you should not take a single bullet from police. The health pack is a requirement to survive the fall.
# 300 reference

Reach the part of the game where Niko and Roman have a safehouse in South Bohan. In the house on the left of the table near the television is a pile of books. The middle purple book in a stack of three is titled "Madness & Blasphemy: The Do's and Dont's". This is an reference to the movie 300 where in the "This is Sparta!" scene, the lines "This is blasphemy! This is madness!" are spoken.
# Apple computers reference

Go to a TW@ Internet Cafe, log into a computer, and enter "www.fruitcomputers.com" as a URL to see a parody of Apple computer products, including the iFruit Phone.
# Bully references

Jimmy from Bully can be found walking outside the Hove Beach railway station at certain times.

Go into any of Niko's safehouses, and watch the television show "I'm Rich". Every so often a blonde girl's story will start, explaining her life. It says what school she went to as a child, which happens to be Bullworth Academy from the Rockstar game Bully.
# Grand Theft Auto 3 references

In the first mission, when you give Roman a ride to a betting shop, on the other side of the road is a shop called "Mr. Wong's", which is reference to Mr. Wong in Grand Theft Auto 3. Also, there are Furgons in the city.
# Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas references

After you have access to the Bohan apartment, look on the floor next to the table using a sniper rifle. You will see some albums, one of which is by Og Loc. Og Loc was a character from GTA: San Andreas.

Watch the Weazel and CNT channels on the television at your hideout. You will see various locations from San Andreas.

Go to the carnival, and look for the mini-golf course. Walk around until you see a chicken. It is a miniature version of the giant Feed Seed chicken located in the desert in Las Venturas.
# Grand Theft Auto series protagonists reference

After you kill the drug dealers in the "Shadow" mission for Little Jacob, leave the room, and go back the way you came. On the wall just before you go down the stairs, you will see graffiti which has the name of every previous Grand Theft Auto protagonist on the wall; Claude from Grand Theft Auto 3, Tommy from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Carl from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Tony Cipriani from Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, and Victor Vance from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. The text says things like "Victor - never forget you / always remember you bro", "RIP Claude", "RIP Toni", "remember Tommy - u r still my hero", "Carl I love you RIP everyone miss you", "RIP Vic".
# Kat Williams reference

Go to the Split Sides comedy club in Algonquin. You will find Kat Williams doing some sketches from American Hustle.
# Red Dead Revolver reference

Watch the Weazel and CNT channels on the television at your hideout. You will see a commercial that uses scenes from Red Dead Revolver, which is another Rockstar game.
# Ricky Gervais reference

Take a friend such as Packie or Jacob to the Split Sides comedy club near the Star Junction area in Algonquin to see a virtual stand up routine featuring Ricky Gervais.
# Spider-Man reference

Sometimes when you walk past a pedestrian they will say "Looks it's your friendly neighbor..., oh no never mind."
# The Brown Note reference

Near Faustin's house is a reference to a legendary musical note. When you are in the area, proceed to the dead end about a block away towards the water. Hop over the fence on your left while facing the water, and a man should be sitting on a bench reading a book titled "The Brown Note". Musician's joke that this is a note that when played causes bowel movements by the person playing it.
# Jizz! reference

Inside the laundromat, the detergent being used and prominently displayed above the back washing machine is "Jizz! Big Washing Power", an obvious attempt at crude humor.
# Easy "Chain Reaction" achievement

Jackknife a bus on the Algonquin Bridge so that it is blocking all lanes. Once a bunch of vehicles have piled up, get on top of the bus, and use the RPG and grenades to destroy the vehicles and get the achievement.

Create a traffic jam in an enclosed area, such as the Booth tunnel by blocking off both lanes with two vehicles. After the cars back up, steal some of them and squeeze them between the others so that there are three or four next to each other. Throw a grenade at the vehicles in front, then use a RPG to destroy the others.

Steal ten vehicles and park them next to each other, preferably in a smaller area, an inside corner, or the outside of a building so there is less of a chance the vehicles will push away when they explode. Then, use a weapon to make at least one vehicle explode. It should start a chain reaction and make the other vehicles explode.
# Easy "Join The Midnight Club" achievement

Keep joining and quitting matches until you are the host. Then, set the lap number to one, and start a helicopter race with very few opponents.
# Easy "One Man Army" achievement

Go to the bridge that takes you to the second island and has train tracks under it. Walk along the train tracks towards the second island before you are allowed to cross the bridge. When you are about half way, you should have a six start wanted level. Then, just stand on the train tracks for five minutes to get the achievement. You do not have to worry about the police because they will be on the bridge above you so they cannot shoot, and the helicopters are above you so you have cover from them.

Go to the hospital at the north-west corner of Algonquin. You can also get there by dying in that general area. Get a motorbike. Set a Waypoint at the hospital or just remember the way you came. Drive to the nearby bridge that takes you to the third island. You must not have access to the third island for this trick to work. Slowly reverse backwards over the barricade on the bridge until you get a six start wanted level. Then, drive straight back to the hospital. To the right of the hospital as you are coming back is a little red fence that you can bust through and get onto the elevated train tracks. Wait there for approximately five minutes to get the achievement. No cars can get to you on the train tracks and the helicopters cannot shoot accurately enough to hit you at motorcycle speed.

Attempt to enter one of the locked boroughs early in the game to get an immediate six star wanted level by taking a car on the subway (or elevated train) tracks. This can be done easily near the corner of Grand Boulevard and Leavenworth Ave. in North Bohan near the police station. From Leavenworth, take a left onto Grand, and go up the little hill. When you reach the crest of the hill, look to your left to find a very short wall above a subway tunnel. Drive a car over that short wall, then drive underground toward North Algonquin. When you have a six star wanted level, stop your car and remain there for five minutes to get the achievement.
# Easy "Rolled Over" achievement

Go to the airport runway in a fast car (Infernus, Super GT, police cruiser, etc.). There are small yellow ramps scattered in the grass by the runway. Locate one, drive back a good distance, then at full speed hit the ramp so that only half your car actually hits the ramp. You should get enough spins to get the achievement.

Go on the Algonquin Bridge that connects Dukes to Algonquin. Find the part where the lanes split at the bridge when going westbound. At the split is a small ramp. Hit that ramp at high speed to make your car roll over several times. Try to land in the lower area for more room to roll over.
# Easy "Walk Free" achievement

Get a four star wanted level, then start a mission to get the achievement.

Get on the airport runway with a car, then get out. This will instantly give you a four star wanted level. Then, run or drive to the end of the runway to get the achievement.

Start picking off cops one by one. Your wanted level will rise as more of them are killed. After you get a four star wanted level, get in a vehicle, and drive into the subway tunnel. Once you leave the flashing wanted circle and your wanted level disappears, you will get the achievement.
# Easy "Wheelie Rider" achievement

Get a motorbike, and go to Francis International Airport. Go to one end of the runway, start to accelerate, and do a wheelie by pressing Left Analog-stick Down for 500 feet to get the achievement. The runway works best because you have a very long distance where you can drive perfectly straight without worrying about vehicles pulling out in front of you.

[McB]

OK is it just me or has anyone else heard all of the trannie jokes that get played on the radio in GTA? Does someone at Rock Star have a thing for trannies?

[werwt22]

i suck at cod 4 online...i bought it for 35 bones around new years @ best buy then mine broke....i get it back 2 months later and i get callled noob record # of times on LIVE....back to playing gears of war 4 now where cheaters and trash talkers , and stoners reign supreme !!!!!

LMAO I still play COD 4. Almost 55 now. .50 cal is the shit. PS3 ftw Game is so easy....you just need different setups for different boards and occassions.

[werwt22]

i JUST got my xbox so i could play the game when it comes out on the 29th. im sooooo excited! the guy at the store said the xbox version is the only system that can handle the giant enviroment and that there is an expansion pack coming out for it w/in a year.

we should play "live" on this game. ill be nikko and you queers can be the hookers i fuck and then kill for $50


Thats a total misrepresentation of the truth.

The PS3 version of the game actually has better display and visuals than the 360 according to

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=286037 (this is from the latest issue of EGM )


Also the 360 is not getting an "expansion" just some additional DLC that the PS3 version will not be getting.

The PS3 will however be getting it's own additional DLC (Down loadable content) , just not the exclusive extra the 360 will get.

I might sound a little bitter, but I've gone through 4 360's since last year. Probably the worst console I've ever had.


Never listen to the kids at the video game store. They are getting paid near minimum wage and don't know there ass from their face.

It seems apparent that you might be slightly retarded if you went through 4 360's in a year. I've had mine for over a year and have never had a problem, nor do I know anyone that has, with the exception of my buddies dog knocking his over and scratching a game, but he had it vertical, which is stupid IMO. Take care of your systems and they'll work fine, I've had over 20 different video game systems since the early 80's and have never had a problem.

Almost everyone i talk to that has owned a 360 has sent it back to microsoft.

[BRONXBODY]

I think I'm going to have to change my screen name to "Bohanbody" ....My addiciton level is way beyond FIEND!

[hwbs]

i am kind of tired of the game ...back to oblivion and maybe mass effect.

[artjangler]

I am still loving the game. Have been playing almost every night since release.
