Hello! Cool stuff in GTA 3

Just wanted a thread with some cool secret stuff in GTA 3...please share if you have any

They have put in so many fun things in the game that you dont have to find to complete it...for example...did you know that it is possible to fly the airplane? We are not talking about jumping out from high hills but to actually fly it across the whole city...
I bet most of you know...ill post a little quick guide how to do it later if ppl are interested....

My friends brother also managed to get over a wall by jumping on some cars.... inside he found a sign:

"Youre not supposed to be here you know"

BTW...has anyone found all the 100 packages? We are on our 73:d now or something...

I thought they made you unable to fly the aeroplanes after sep 11th? Please post how to do it.

this is for the PS2, so I can't say if it works, but it sounds like fun:

Requires: Playstation2
Easter Egg: To locate the invisible towns on the map:

1. At your home in Portland, enable the Dodo Car cheat (press Right direction on d-pad, R2, Circle, R1, L2, Down direction on D-pad, L1, R1).

2. Walk out on to the road and enable the Rhino Tank cheat (press Circle six times, R1, L2, L1, Triangle, Circle, Triangle).

3. Get inside the tank, and using the Right analogue stick, position the cannon so that it fires behind you.

4. Drive towards the water opposite your home and up on to the white ground. Turn right and carry on driving next to the water. Look at the map in the bottom-left hand corner of the screen. You should be headed for the corner of the island.

5. Keep driving until just before the train track is above your head. Now begin rapidly firing the cannon. As you approach the corner of the island, your tank will begin to take off into the air. Continue firing the cannon for about three seconds, then stop firing and release the accelerator.

6. Making sure you keep control of the tank, swoop down as close to the sea as you can go without falling in. Do not press the accelerator again unless the tank is in severe danger of falling into the water. If it is in danger, use a short burst of acceleration to pull away from the water slightly, then release the accelerator again.

7. You should see a grassy hill in front of you. This is not solid; you should fly right through it. Once you have passed through it, look at the map in the bottom-left hand corner of the screen. It should indicate that there is a road in the sea, although you can only see it on the map. Remember to make sure you are close to the water, and follow the road along. (Warning: The tank can become difficult to control at this stage, keep your speeds low and it should be fine, but whatever you do, don't press the accelerator, as this will make things worse.)

8. As you fly along the road and reach the end, you should notice that in front of you, the sea ends, with nothing else in front of it. (Warning: Do not cross this point as the game will crash.) The map in the bottom-left corner of the screen should show names nearby, such as Garytown and Christytown. These are the names of some of the developers. You can search for more like this around the very edge of the map.

A word of warning, this may take a few tries to get right, but it's quite interesting when you find it.

Well, if you complete the whole game.. (Do all the jumps, get all the packages, etc.) The tunnel in shoreside thats under construction will open up (or so I've heard)..

Errr.. To find the packages.. (cuz the last few are really hard to find) get one of the bigger truck things that you can stand on.. Yankee works best.. and try to get on all the roofs you possibly can

I dunno, I just normally run over people.. screw finishing the game..


Also, does anyone else have it where the bling bling scramble + turismo keep playing over and over.. I've done them both atleast 10 times.. I think I broke it

We took a cab on the train-track....we found like 10 packages by driving the whole route We also found one by boat...that one was tricky

Hey Dawn thx for the tip...gonna check that out for sure!

Im gonna try and explain how to fly now...

1. Get the airplane on the airfield, get it onto the runway.
2. Hold your handbrake (r1 button) and at the same time press the gas button. Do this for like 5 seconds.
3. Press and hold the down button.
4. Release your handbrake. You will now start rolling forward.
5. View your airplane from the side (L2 button)
6. After a few second sparks will burst from your front wheel. when they do, release the down button. Up you go
7. Get control of the plane. get it upstraight.

2 important rules Never ever release the gas button and never hold buttons down. If youre going left...dont hold the left button. You will spin and crash. Press it like 20 times instead. There is alotof winds that you can fly on...but they might as well take you for a ride into the water Its hard but it works...

good luck!

Im have the pc version. there is loads of stuff you can get for GTA3, new levels, tune the cars, change skins and change the power of the guns.


Posted by mindshooter on Jul-22-2002 15:16:

Posted by drinkyourmilk on Jul-22-2002 18:02:

hehe.. That would be a good idea but it would be hard.. cuz I can't remember a single spot I found a package.. and im on 69 (h0h0)

Portland

Stauton Island

Shoreside Vale

I've found 98 of them, i know where number 99 is, but i need access to Shoreside Vale

I missed the last one and i need to go over all the locations to find it

But hey i discovered a bug in the game, that gives me access to shoreside vale without completing any missions on Stauton Island.

All you need... Access to the Subway, armor and a car.

1. find a subway station.
2. Drive your car down to the track.
3. Drive on the track until you reach Shoreside Vale.
4. Stop and get out off car near one of the stations on Shoreside Vale.
5. stand on the track the one the train drives on and let the train hit you.

If done correctly you should fall though the ground and fall for a while, then suddenly your standing on the street on Shoreside Vale.
6. Get to the hideout and save.

Now you can get all but one hidden package all jumps.
Complete the firetruck and police missions.

Grab the dodo and fly to Portland and complete the import/export mission.

*edit* This bug is one the PC version.

No you don't get every car in the game.

You do however get 16 free cars of the ones you just brought in.

So on portland u get to chouse between 15 crappy cars and the dodo....

Besides of getting 100% complete, i don't se the point.

When you actually get the dodo, you have access to a lot of car there are better, and you can go to the airport anytime for the dodo at that point.

I guess you will get all the weapons at your hideout


Posted by Choobak on Aug-01-2002 19:46:

The writing on the seats in the stadium says Cocks... It's the Liberty City Cocks...

nothing happens when you get 100% in the game... i've wasted so much time to find that out...

you can get every car in the game by filling up those garages and getting the emergency vehicles.. actually there's a few you can't get... the bulletproff cars are hard to get (especially the cheetah)... there's ways to get the black limo (from the mob mission) and the car with the dead body in the trunk (from a disposal mission) too but i forgot how...

what's everyone's farthest jump and highest jump score?
I think i got the tank to fly over 700ft.... and scored a perfect triple insane stunt worth $3000+ with a banshee...

Are you sure? How come you are? I mean even if youve gotten 100%....you might just have missed the cool stuff that appeared after right?


Posted by Choobak on Aug-03-2002 05:33:

I'm completely sure... at least for the PS2 version... my friends and I played it to 100% twice and we never saw anything... also, everything on gamefaqs.com says nothing happens...

And do you get cool stuff bu completing taxi missions to?


Posted by Munken on Aug-08-2002 14:17:
