Avoid Police Chases
After stealing police cars, you are relentlessly pursued by the police until you
are captured or injured. In order to avoid this, steal the police car (try
smashing them until they get out to arrest you, and then jump in their car). Take
the stolen police car to your garage (the condition does not matter), and save
the game. When you return with the stolen police car later (from your garage), it
will be viewed as a normal car by the police, but will still be able to do the
Vigilante mission. First, find badges. The best places to look are in the alleys
and parking lots. If being chased in a car, and you are not about to explode,
just keep running, and try to not kill anyone. Sometimes, if you drive around
enough in harsh conditions, the cops will just stop chasing you. This only
happens if you have one or two stars though. If you have around four or more
stars, quickly find some badges. The cops are reckless around them, and will do
anything to get you busted, or most likely killed, even if it means accidentally
killing a few witnesses.

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 and
when you cross the bridge, the "Welcome To Staunton Island" screen will appear.
Note: You can use nearly any car, but the tank has a better ability to fly higher.

Twilight Zone By Shoreside Vale
When you are doing the mission where you have to
get the bazooka, drive a boat out to the water,
and shoot the plane down, and collect the cargo,
there's a glitch. Once you gathered all the
packages, go in the speed boat the guy had. Go in
that, and ram into the wall where you found it.
After awhile you will go through and giant waves
will pound over you. Your boat will disappear,
then come back spinning and flipping around in a
blue screen. Then, your boat will just appear on
the shore, or in the street near the shore in
Shoreside Vale. I know its complicated, but it's
true!! Try it!

Speedboat Mission: Easy Completion
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.
