I frightened Michelle on our second date, and now she won't seem to see me any more. Can I get her back? Should I bother? -JCX

2. Jeremy says... | April 30, 2008 4:37 PM

JacerX -

I frightened her on the first date and just had to wait for her to message me for the second date. I'd say just wait it out and see if she contacts you.

You could also call her from time to time.

I'll update this if I find anything that will mollify her.

3. obwakeboarder says... | April 30, 2008 5:39 PM

What are the controls to excute or let a hit go?

4. Jeremy says... | April 30, 2008 6:07 PM

obwakeboarder-

I'm not sure how not to execute, but to execute you'll see the reticule flashing red. That means that an execution is possible. To execute, just pull the trigger button.

I think that you have to execute for some of the story missions to progress.

5. Paul says... | April 30, 2008 7:29 PM

forget her..shes a undercover cop anyways

On the miniature golf course by the amusement park I noticed the Watts Towers, a replica of the giant chicken, a windmill and the lighthouse all from San Andreas. I thought it was cool, so check it out if you haven't already.

36. ethan says... | May 5, 2008 8:24 AM

i know at the begining once you are able to get a pistol and the weapon shop is open you can go in the weapon shop buy what you need then lock on to the guy and shoot him in the leg then wait till he pulls out his pistol and then kill him, if you walk over his pistol you should have a desert eagle, which you aint able to get until you get to the last island.

37. ben says... | May 5, 2008 10:49 AM

41. rld says... | May 6, 2008 12:10 PM

where can I keep all my stolen vehicles, have two safe houses so far?
Thanks.

42. The Answer To Your Question (read out the capitals to make up my screen name) says... | May 6, 2008 1:38 PM

Hello rld, you can park your stolen cars or mbks on the resident only parking space but remember it has to be inside the parking box! Instead of parking your cars or mbks normally, you can park them facing the traffic to for more space to park more vehicles in. Lol That was long. Anyway your welcome.

43. Shepp says... | May 6, 2008 5:42 PM

Snow Storm took me a long time to finish, here is a tip for anyone stuck on that level. Sniper the guard at the front of the hospital, walk around the back, clib the ladder and there will be 3 guys you can kill at roof top level. If you walk to the edge of the roof there will be another guy in a room at the bottom. Kill him then climb back down the ladder.

Go to the entrance and kill the 2 guys in the front room. Then you will need to kill 4 guys in the main corridor, go to the final room, kill the 2 guys in it but DO NOT grab the coke.

Go outside and park a car by the entrance. Next go find a motorbike and ride it inside the building, follow the main corridor all the way down and you will notice a barrel near a door, park the bike in front of the barrel facing the corridor.

Grab the coke then run to the bike, ride it straight up the corridor, turn right and to the door, jump off the bike and into the car and you should noly still have a 2 star wanted level, drive to the pay and spray and the level is done. Found this a lot easier than fighting your way out.

Cheers

Shep

44. Iain Williams says... | May 7, 2008 8:27 AM

Hi everyone finished the game a couple of days ago and I've started again cos it was THAT DAMN GOOD!!!

Would like to know what happens(if anything different) when you choose any of the following options

1. Kill dwayne's ex.
2. Kill Derrick instead of Frank
3.Choose the DEAL on the last mission (I choose REVENGE and faced the consequences. Almost cried a little for Nico):(

P.S. Also contemplated blowing michelle's head when I started again, the evil whore!!

45. yeee says... | May 7, 2008 1:37 PM

i killed dwaynes ex an i didnt notice a change in anything and i killed frank but i chose the money instead of revenge and you get
$250,000 but Roman gets killed by a hitman just after he gets married and then you have to go and kill Dimitri and Jimmy Peg anyway so either way Dimitri dies but i think you just end up with $250,000 more .

46. malick says... | May 8, 2008 7:42 AM

i chose to go back and help roman instead of the date with michelle, and now ive completed bleed out but nothing is happening. ive been driving around but im not getting any phone calls, roman and michelle don't pick up and there's no one at the cab depot... what am i supposed to do? is this a glitch?

47. Nick says... | May 8, 2008 9:12 AM

54. CuttyBuddy415 says... | May 10, 2008 2:10 AM

Is the private jet a myth? Roman said something about going to vice city in a private jet before he died. Anyone?

55. CuttyBuddy415 says... | May 10, 2008 2:29 AM

Also, what happened to the Lamborghini-like car? I got it from a Bernie mission, tried to save it, it dissapeared and I cant find it again......

64. Conor says... | May 10, 2008 11:40 PM

How much percentage do you have to get for the bridges to open up to get to the main part of the city, like with times square and all that? what do you have to do?

And wait Michelle is cop!?!?!
that explains why she is always geting you to "say interesting things" to her along with about 20 "thats great"s when youre porkin her

so when do you find out shes a cop, what happens, and what does she do?

65. boyakasha!! says... | May 11, 2008 2:42 AM

is the official strategy guide worth buying? its £12.99 is it really worth it?

66. SBGimpy says... | May 11, 2008 1:07 PM

Why wait for the cops to open the bridge? Just steal a Hummer and plow through them!

67. ddog says... | May 11, 2008 5:22 PM

ur retarded no the game is a p.o.s.

68. excessum ado says... | May 12, 2008 8:37 AM

I finished the game and got boht endings. On the ending where roman dies though Kate gives me a call to say she wants to start seeing me again but whenever I call her I just get 2 seconds of silence before niko phones her up. Whats goin on and how do i fix it?

69. dogma says... | May 12, 2008 8:44 AM

-Iain Williams
If you let Dwayne's ex live then you can meet here later on and do a side mission for her

If you kill Derrick instead of Francis, you get 10,000 and you can call Francis to clear your wanted level

70. excessum ado says... | May 12, 2008 8:47 AM

I mean i get 2 seconds of silence and then niko hangs up. WHats going on and how do i fix it?

71. robbie says... | May 12, 2008 2:11 PM

what the hell is that garage that is next to your safe house on the map. ive been to it, but you cant do anything to it.

72. nick says... | May 12, 2008 3:59 PM

for stevie's car missions when do u get the initial text from him to start these missions because i dont think i hv the text or i might have deleted it?
at the mo i am just about to do the mission where i can choose to take revenge on or work with dmitri
please help!

73. gazsmith6 says... | May 13, 2008 5:18 AM

I'm just going thru the game for the 2nd time (XBOX version, without cheating this time), and choosing the opposite to what i did before.

I think the car missions are just a side thing, and i don't think you can delete the messages.

When you kill Derrick, you get an email from Francis with the cops database with ALL the criminals (including Niko), does anybody know if this serves a purpose, and leads to something else?

I would buy the strategy guide. The ingame maps (whattheydonotwantyoutoknow.com)for armor, pigeons,etc are not very clear

74. ALI.G 008 [xbox live name] says... | May 13, 2008 8:34 AM

can every1 plz not hav any spoliers on the game it is so a pain it the ass for the people who hav not done it

75. keith says... | May 13, 2008 7:13 PM

the smart shoes are the black loafers at the dress shop

76. GamerDad says... | May 14, 2008 10:13 AM

STEVIE VEHICLES>>>>
When you get a car "Stevie" is looking for it will tell you once you get into it. Bring it to the garage thats located around the corner from the safehouse in Bohan. The map that comes with the game really helps for these missions.

77. GamerDad says... | May 14, 2008 10:24 AM

EASY way to get 40p Achievement for lasting 5 minutes with 6 stars.....

Do this EARLY in the game BEFORE you have unlocked all the islands.

Get a vehicle is easier or walk onto the subway tracks and drive toward a part of the map you haven't unlocked yet. Once you cross the border underwater in the subway tunnel, you get 6 stars. Sit there in your car and just make a sandwich or go to the bathroom for awhile and let 5 minutes pass.

Voila... Achievement

78. Janelle says... | May 14, 2008 6:52 PM

I decided to work for Dimitri instead of kill him, and now it says story completed. Is it really over because i only have 70%??
