For all discussion on actually playing the game.

Cars are sort of tough to maneuver so far, with all the camera details you can get into.

Put the subtitles on. Then you understand what they're saying, and it will even translate the foreign language.

I don't know guys, I got really impatient with this game too quickly. Maybe because I've never played the first three, and I'm playing it in 10-minute clips in my office between meetings and getting ready for a big presentation.

Yeah, I think I need to carve out a good three-hour chunk and start over.

Or mature a bit. J/K call me soon brother, lot of developments.

Well, I'm about 5-6 hours in and the game is starting to pick up a little bit. There is just so much to do and I'm only on the first island.

I've spent about an hour bowling, but can't get strikes for the life of me. Any tips?

Jenson71 · 04-29-2008, 09:39 PM

I'm collecting all the flying rats so far. It took me a bit to realize you had to shoot them with a gun.

I don't think so. On the main page of this thread it is on there wrong as bwillie07 but my name is actually bwillie007 on there.

So how far into the game do I have to go in order to have this Michelle chick sit on it?

Ultra Peanut · 04-29-2008, 10:15 PM

When "Pony" started playing on the Vibe, I pooped a little.

I'm currently riding in a cab. It's a really great way of checking out the city. Bastion from WKTT sounds a lot like one of the guys on WMD KBOOM in Saints Row. "Al-Con Queso."

This is easily the most immersive game I've ever played.

Nah, not gonna happen.

Use your cell phone and hit "up" on the d-pad to manually key in "911" and send a officer out... mildly entertaining to see a cop show up seconds later and walk around trying to find something.

I can't imagine how many easter eggs they've included by dialing certain numbers. I'm sure more things will come out like this.

Easter Eggs
The Heart of Liberty City

First, you'll have to have access to Happiness Island. Once you're able to go there legally, find the Helicopter Tours (which is directly east of Happiness Island) and steal a helicopter. Fly to Happiness Island and over the Statue of Liberty, then jump out of the helicopter at the statue's feet. You should land on the topmost 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. Inside, you'll find an empty room with a tall ladder. Climb it, and when you reach the top, look up; there is a gigantic beating heart, held in place by chains.

Secrets
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.

I hate cheat codes, they tempt me to use it. Wish they would just do away with that shit.
