Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories Tips & Tricks

During the introduction sequence for the Biker Heat mission, the poster above Maria's bed depicts members of the imaginary rock band Love Fist, which was the band Tommy Vercetti befriended and completed missions for in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

After completing the "Crazy 69" mission where you run around in the park and kill gang members with a samauri sword, you will receive the "Dragon jumpsuit" clothing option at your safehouse. This article of clothing is exactly the same as the one Bruce Lee wore in his 1973 film Game Of Death.

Submit one of the codes below while playing the game. A message will confirm correct code entry. REMEMBER: Some of the following codes cannot be disabled. Do not save the game while they are active. Other codes may be disabled by repeating code entry.

After completing Leon McAffrey's "Crazy 69" mission, you unlock the "Avenging Angels" side missions. Go to the same park where the mission took place dressed in the Avenging Angels fatigues at night. Look for another Avenging Angel (they are dressed the same). Press R3 near him to start the vigilante-style killing spree. On these missions you will fight various groups of hoodlums around Staunton Island. The best strategy is to run them down in a car, or use a bladed melee weapon to cut them down. Using Molotov cocktails, grenades, and other weapons capable of taking out multiple opponents at once. If your Avenging Angel friend dies, you must find another one within the time limit or the mission ends.

When you do the third or fourth mission for Ma Cipriani called "Grease Sucho," you must win a race. When you win, you must kill Sucho. He is in a car with flames down the side, called a Thunder-Rodd. You must ram the car to get him out so that you can kill him. However, do not let the car explode. If you do, it will be impossible to complete the game later. In the "Love Media" mission, you must deliver sixteen different cars. and the Thunder-Rodd is one of them. After you ram Sucho's car just enough that he gets out, kill him then take the car and put it in your garage.

Occasionally you will see a cop chasing someone down the sidewalk. If you run up to the person being chased and punch him, you will get a $50 Good Citizen Bonus. Make sure to only punch him once; if you continue and kill the person, the cop will want to fight you.

In the beginning of the game you can buy anything desired. During one of the first missions you must go to Ammu-Nation. Select the a pistol and you will not be charged. You can also go to the Pay N Spray for free the first few times.

Instead of holding X to run, repeatedly tap it.

When targeting an enemy during a fist fight (or using brass knuckles), run towards them and tap Circle repeatedly. Even though you will just be running into them and may remain stationary, you will keep executing the "running" punch attack. If you keep tapping Circle, Toni will keep doing this attack rapidly and your enemy will not have a chance to strike back.

When you get to the point where you can do missions for Ma Cipriani ("C" on the map), do not continue them until they are your only option. After Ma's "No Son Of Mine" mission, she will send hit men after you. They will continue to appear until they are all killed, making future missions more difficult to complete.
