GRAND THEFT AUTO: LIBERTY CITY STORIES TIPS & TRICKS
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City reference
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.
Game Of Death reference
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.
Cheat mode
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.
Avenging Angels missions
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.
Thunder-Rodd
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.
Good citizen bonus
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.
Free items
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.
Run longer
Instead of holding X to run, repeatedly tap it.
Winning fist fights
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.
Easier mission completion
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.
Easy Vigilante mission completion
Enable the "Spawn Rhino tank" code, get in then press Up to start the Vigilante missions. Crash into the cars and bikes you are chasing and they will explode
Big air
To catch air off any car, enable the "Change motorcycle tire size" code, and use any bike to fly over cars.
Big air
Go at maximum speed on a PCJ-600 on the wrong side of the road. When you see a Banshee, drive directly into it .It works better with a Sanchez.
Better turns
Braking helps during turns, but leaning back while braking and turning helps even more.
FBI car
Get a five star wanted level. FBI cars will appear. As soon as you see one, enable the "Wanted level disabled" code and quickly get in an FBI before it leaves. When you are driving the FBI car, turn on the siren. All of the other cars will move out of the way. It also has good speed and handling
Assassins
After you pass the "No Son Of Mine" mission, Ma puts a "hit" on you. When a assassin tries to attack, do not run away. You can kill him easily. He should be carrying money, body armor, and a nice gun.
Get To other areas early
To reach Staunton Island early, enable the "Drive on water" code and go to the Calahan bridge. Drive off the bridge and into the water then go to the docks. Drive your car onto the docks. Make sure it is not a nice car, as you cannot take it with you. You are now on Stanton Island. This also works for Liberty City.
