[email protected] and I�ll be happy to help.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) HOW TO DO GOOD WHEELIES
If you are finding it hard to do wheelies or haven�t even tried
then here is a good way of doing them. I would advise using a
PCJ 600 ( the motorbike ) or the scooter ( the bikes like the
pizza boy one ). Once you have one of these make your way to the
beach on the first island. I have chosen the beach, as it is
very long and straight.
Drive to one of the two ends and turn to face the long stretch
in front of you. Start driving and push down to lift the front
of the bike. Do not keep your finger on the down button because
you will tip the bike backwards. Instead let go of it, the bike
will try to go back to the ground, then you push down again.
Basically you tap the down button to keep the bike wheeling.
If you need to turn (which you shouldn�t ) try to use the
analogue button as using the direction button will effect the
pressing the down button.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) THE BEST WAY TO DO RAMPAGES
Before attempting any rampage make sure you have a full life and
full armour. This is because either gang members will starting
shooting or police will be called and they will shoot you. Don�t
worry you wont get busted, I�ll tell you how not to in a minute.
This part is for most weapons. After collecting the rampage icon
run to the nearest road, this is where the most gang members are
or cars if that is what the rampage intends. Once there hold
down L1, this will set a little target on the person. Press O to
shoot them, let go of L1 and then press it again. This will
target a different person, shoot them and carry this process.
There some missions which use different guns. Always press L1
first to check to see if you can use this feature. If not then,
just shoot them as normal. Always try and find a good place to
stand as sometime there are a lot of gang members, and cops.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) THE BEST WAY TO SEARCH FOR HIDDEN PACKAGES
The best way is to find hidden packages ( without cheating ) is
to use a bike to go through all the ally ways. This is a lot
quicker than walking and will save the frustration of when you
cannot run any longer.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) THE POLICE MISSIONS
To complete this mission you need to complete level 12
The best way to do this mission very easy is to use the tank
shown in part 7 of this walkthrough. When you have the tank you
can either use the tank to shoot the criminals or just run into
them and they blow up.
BUT !!!!
If you don�t have the tank then you have bit more work to do.
Make sure you have a lot of bullets in your uzi before starting
as it helps a lot. Drive next to the car and shoot them. The car
will loose control. If it does not do this then try to run it
off the road so it crashes. They will get out the car, you
should do the same and shoot them. This is very hard but if you
keep at then it will work.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
5) THE FIRE TRUCK MISSIONS
These are cool and can earn you loads of money if you become
good at completing these.
I would suggest doing this on the first island because on the
second all the gang members try to drag you out of the truck and
will fail you mission. Like the police missions you need to get
to level 12 to complete it.
When stopping to put out a car, always stop in a place so it
easy to drive off quickly. This is because people run out of the
car and down the street. It is very hard to get them, to what to
do is�..
Drive quite slowly in a straight line down the middle of the
street. Have your sirens on so the cars move out your way. Hold
O to spray the water and use the analogue to control the
direction of the water. You can take you finger of the direction
buttons because you don�t need to turn.
Near the end there are a lot of cars and lots of people. What to
do here is to put out one car at a time and then try to put out
the people without moving. If they run off don�t chase them put
out the other cars first.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
6) THE BEST BULIDINGS TO BUY
There are two main buildings you should buy. The first one is on
the first island. It�s the house with 1 garage and the swimming.
This can be used to store your cars while still on this island.
Once on the second island you must but the apartment block at
the north of the island. It is buy the stadium down a ally. It
has 3 garages which can hold 2 cars each. On the roof is a
helicopter as well
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
7) HOW TO GET A TANK
This is the best part of the game. Once you have a tank you can
use it to do most missions easily.
There are many ways of doing this, the best way is this�.
Stand inside the ice cream factory and start shooting. Get all
six stars on you. But if you notice the police cannot see you,
they just keep driving around. Well. The odd car comes in and if
you stand by the door the police will see you. If you wait for a
while there will come a time where there are just tanks. If you
run out then and go near a tank the army men will run out. Wait
till they get out, shoot them and then jump in the tank.
Once you are in. Turn the rocket launcher so it faces behind
you, keep shooting and you�ll go really fast. Take it back to
the building described in part 6 and put in your garage. Save
the game and then you�ll have a tank.

There have been a lot of questions going round ukforums.com
asking for help on some missions. I thought i'd help people out
by walking you through some of the harder missions on the game.
If the mission you are stuck on isn�t here just email me at
[email protected] and I�ll be happy to help.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The missions on this walkthrough are:
1. Smash Windows � don�t know the name of this but it�s the one
with the windows in the mall
2. Cop Land
3. The Job
4. No Escape
5. Keeping your friends close
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Smash windows.
This mission can prove to be difficult but if you can do, well
done. Use a fast car to get to the mall so you have more time to
smash the windows. When you get into the mall, run to �GAP� shop
(this is the shop with the windows both up and down stairs) This
is so when the cops do eventually get to you, you can change
your clothes and also when smashing the other windows you are
running round and not standing in one place getting killed. Once
smashed all the gap windows run really fast to the other windows
around the mall. By one of the other shops windows there is a
health icon, collect that as you might get shot. If you keep
running around and not staying still you will not get shot as
much and will have time to smash all the windows.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Cop Land
The first part of this mission is pretty hard. You have to get
the police on you and them get them into the garage. Start
driving towards the mall where thwe garage is. On the way try
and run over as many cops as you can. When you get near the
garage get out he car and walk towards it, by them some cops
should of got out of their cars and running after you. Run into
the garage and make sure lance is with you. If the garage does
not close, make sure there are no cars in the way. If it still
dont close shoot some cops and more will come towards you. You
need to get at least two cops in the garage at the same time
before it closes.
Once in the cops uniform, get in the car behind the garage and
drive towards the mall. Park the car facing the way so you can
drive off quickly when you exit the mall. Also park it right
next to the door. Go in and blow it up. Run out quickly and get
back in the car. As you drive away make sure you pick up the
star (the thing to reduce a wanted star). There is one next to
mall and another by the pizza place in the trees. This will
reduce 2 stars and then it is not so hard to drive home. If you
can do it try to get another cat and drive into the paint and
spray, but this is very hard. The first way is easier.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. The job
I found this quite hard so read carefully and hopefully you wont
find it as difficult. When driving to the bank with people in
the car, make sure you don�t smash up the car or get it damaged
at all, as you need it later on. Arrive at bank, park the car in
the pick marker. Get out and go to the other pink marker. You
will change your clothes. Go inside and watch the short video.
There is a staircase to the left. Go up the first flight of
stair and if you walk forward there are to officers. Shot
them!!. You will see that there is both a health bonus and body
armour bonus, do not collect this yet. Go up up the other stair
case by the other satir you came up. There is also two people
here so kill them. Walk to the lift and go up. There is another
guy to killer here as well.
Next you have to go and find the manager. This is simple as he
is where the armour was before. Pick up the health and armour
and get the manager. Take him back up stairs. Then you have got
to go back down the ground floor. Once the short video has
finished the cops charge into the bank. Run back up the stairs
to the balcony and shoot the odd cop that is there. Once all the
cops are dead a pink marker appears at the front door.
Hilary pulls up in the taxi. When he dies, run to the taxi and
drive off quickly. Try and pick up the two other people, if you
don�t, then don�t worry you can come back in a minute. Check on
the map where the paint and spray is, make your way there and
get the stars off you. Watch out though on the way back the
police still chase you. Pick up the other guys and either go to
hideout or go back to paint a spray then to the hideout.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. No Escape
Once you know how to do this mission its pretty easy. Start off
by getting a good fast hardwearing car. I would suggest a land
rover. Go to the police station and park your car facing the way
you just came from and then go inside. Go to left room to get
the clothes and then down the corridor to get the key guard.
Also get the hidden package while you are there. If you need a
top up on your life get the health bonus while your there.
Return to the corridor and take the first left. Go down the
stairs and let the person out. You will now get a few stars on
you. Forget about the guy you just let out and make it back to
your car. As soon as you get in drive off (never mind about the
guy, come back for him in a minute). Check on the map where the
nearest paint�n�spray is. Its north of where you are. Make your
way there watching out for spike strips and roadblocks. If you
need to change cars do so. Once at the paint�n�spray and had
your car sprayed go back to the police station and pick the guy
up and take him home.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Keeping your friends close
This is the final mission and is very hard. There are many ways
of doing this mission but im going to tell you the way I done
it. Before you start I would suggest having a few grenades, a
good gun (uzi or shot gun) and full health and armour
When guarding the safe don�t stand by it, stand just to the
right of the door, this way the people have to ruin into the
room to shoot you instead of shooting you through the door. As
they come in shoot them straight away.
As you step out side to kill lance and the video will start.
Once the video has finished run back inside of the room and wait
for the people to run inside. Listen out for the gunshots to die
down a bit then make your way to lance. He will run down the
corridor, up the stairs and onto the roof. Follow him but watch
out as he shoots you along the way. Once on the roof forget
about the people and run up the ramp to the top left from where
you start. There is health if you need it. When you are there no
guys can kill you or even shoot you. Through some grenades over
the wall and kill the guys. I doubt lance will die. Before going
to him make sure that all the other guys are kill. Go a kill
lance.
Once you have killed lance run back down the stairs to the safe.
I would take a stop off at the bottom floor to top up your
health and armour. If you do this make sure you still go to safe
using the top floor entrance as then you end up on the balcony
and can shoot people from up above. Kill the people in the safe
room and then a new video will start. This is another guy you to
kill.
If you have any grenades left throw them to kill the people
around him and them kill him with a gun you have. If you don�t
have any grenades then your stuck (only messing), in this case
you will have to shoot all the guys around him and then shoot
him.
At any part of this mission if you need to top up your life or
armour go to the bottom floor where there is some.
