Go to a bowling alley, wait for someone to roll the ball down the lane, and stand in front of it. It will hit you (without damage) and it will mess up their roll!

Ask Brucie for a ride in his helicopter once you earn the ability to, then look to the right inside the helicopter and beside the window on the metal beam there is a warning sticker that says, "This helicopter might crash, but we really don't care. If it does refer to flight manual for help"

While in Bernie's on the mission "Hating the Haters" there is quite the exciting painting on the wall in the background. The painting is a spoof of a Leonardo Da Vinci painting and it's an arm reaching out to a crotch covered by a thong/speedo...

Leave the strip club parking lot and turn right, then turn left at the first alleyway. Keep moving south until you find a pile of dirt boxes, etc. If you look on top of the pile, you should see a pink/purple "item". This time its not a weapon like in GTA: SA, but you should get the point.

When you are required to access a police computer, there is no need to risk arrest or death to acquire it. Just spawn a FIB Buffalo car. It is the game's version of the FBI's car, it comes with a siren and police computer and is pretty fast too considering how big it is.

Type the following into your phone:

227-555-0100

When an area is blocked off, park as far back as you can from the blocked off area, facing a gap in the blockade. Pull up your phone, and type in this number: 267-555-0100

Now, go to the cheats option in your phone. Go to the Lose Wanted Level cheat, but DO NOT CLICK ON IT YET. Keep phone up, and drive as fast as you can through the blockade. Immediately you will be chased by the police. With your phone up, click on the lose wanted level cheat. Voila, you are free to do whatever you want.

When one of your friends calls to invite you somewhere, but you're in the middle of something and can't go, answer yes to go with them. As soon as you hang up, call back and cancel. You won't lose any friendship points.

First go to the coast anywhere available in the beginning of the game. Then spawn a Jetmax boat and start driving. Once far enough around you should gain 6 stars. Keep driving and no matter what don't stop. Once 5 minutes is up you will recieve 40 gamer points for the achievement "One Man Army".

Use a helicopter to get on a skyscraper (preferably a really tall one for more fun) and spawn a motorcycle. Drive of it off the roof. At first you'll be like "Oh no! I lose like four-thousand cash!" but no. If you land with both wheels on the ground (don't worry you can maneuver around in the air) you'll take zero to little damage and you can start riding the second you land!

This is an easier way to survive 5 minutes on a 6 star wanted level to unlock the "One Man Army" Achievement.

To do this method, you need to have unlocked South Bohan (top right of map), but not the far left area of the map (you need it to be roadblocked to get a 6 star wanted level quickly & easily).

Get a cop car. Park it by your safehouse, save. Load that save to lose the wanted level. Now get some health, an assault rifle or smg, some grenades, & armor. Save again. (now your save file will have all the above ready for re-trying if you fail to survive the 5 minutes on a 6 star wanted level).

Go to the bridge on the far left of the map, that links the islands together. There will be cops there behind some road blocks & gaps in between the blocks.

Reverse the cop car into the far left gap until you get a 6 star wanted level. (With a cop car you can fit in the gap so that you save time by just driving forward as soon as you get the 6 star wanted level).

Now set your way point marker to the bottom-right corner of the top-right island on the map. (At that location there is a boat-walkway with a hole in it, if you walk under here to the end you can't be shot at by the helicopter, the cops can't get to you as easily, & they will only be coming at you from the front, as there is a wall behind you. There are also pillars here that you can use for cover).

So, on your way there, keep your distance from the cops, if they get far behind though, slow down, it is better to wait for them to catch you up slightly instead of moving quickly towards the next set of cops in front.

A good tactic for getting rid of cops behind you is to slow down almost to a stand-still, drop a grenade or two, & then slowly go forward, this ensures that the cops stay in the grenade area long enough for it to hit them.

When you get to the marker, run under that boat-walkway to the far end, & wait there, shooting at any cops as & when they come. The helicopter can't get you & the cops can't shoot you from behind so in a few minutes you should have survived the 5 minutes in order to get the achievement.

Brucie at 90% - He will fly his helicopter to you on demand.

Dwayne at 60% - He'll ship a car full of gangsters who will follow and protect you.

Packie at 75% - He'll make you a car bomb on demand.

Little Jacob - At 60% he will ship you a car full of guns to buy.

Roman at 60% - He'll send a taxi for you to drive you throughout Liberty City.

Kiki (Law chick on the dating website) at 75% - Offers to clear your wanted level (out of missions and under two stars) when fondness reaches over 75%.

Go to the statue of happiness on foot. There should be a glowing orange thing that looks like a gun, but it's a black t-shirt that says "Statue Of Happiness" on it. So, yeah, it's pretty tight.

Get a biker to get off his own bike. He will put his helmet down. Get on the bike & put on the helmet. You can now get off & do whatever you want wearing a biker helmet.

When in taxi, after picking destination, don't skip the ride. Before you reach your destination, press and hold LB to start shooting. The driver will leave the cab, giving you a free ride.

There are 2 ways to escape the pay toll without cop notoriety.

1: You can get a motorbike and drive to the side of the pay toll wall. You don't pay if you go through the small gap on the sides.

2: Get a cop car and drive right through with your sirens on.
