The Top 7... GTA IV Easter eggs (so far)

2008's biggest game is filled with secrets - here are the best we've found

Midway through the game, you might get access to a swank, top-floor loft safehouse owned by your pal Playboy X. If that happens, try changing clothes while you're there; as you cycle through your outfits, you'll find a new one that's a dead ringer for the clothes worn by GTA III's hero, Claude. Yeah, we always thought the black jacket was more of a leather biker number, too, but there's no mistaking those olive-green cargo pants. It's not the slickest outfit in the game, but if you're feeling nostalgic, slipping on Claude's ensemble can add to the fun of mass destruction.

 

 

Above: GTA IV's Niko Bellic on the left, GTA III's Claude on the right. Hooray for historical re-enactment!

The amusement park at Firefly Island is completely shut down and therefore not really worth exploring - unless you want to see some really cool references to earlier GTAs, that is. Visit the mini-golf course sometime, and you'll be able to see miniature versions of landmarks from other games scattered around. These include:

 
The Ocean View Hotel from GTA: Vice City


The giant chicken from GTA: San Andreas, which doesn't move...


... but which does have a comb that disappears depending on the angle from which you look at it.


There's also the farm windmill from San Andreas' countryside...


... the Watts Towers re-creations from Los Santos...


... and the lighthouse from the old Liberty City, as seen in GTA III and GTA: Liberty City Stories.

Here's where to find it all:

    yeah i seen that stroller up close i had a police hummer, and 4 stars running from the cops at full speed, and hit when your going full speed you can make the stroller knock it a good distance. I see it's been a while since last post figured i'd tell people

    there is also a stroller up the hill to the right it is on it's side.

    In case anyone's curious, the original GTA 3 had schoolbusses full of children and a crazed domestic terrorist who wanted you to blow up buildings, those (and the world trade centers) were the only things they had to take out before they released the game (9/11 happened like a month before the game was supposed to come out) That probably has something to do with why there has never been kids in GTA. Plus some wackjob who hates kids would go set off some grenades in an elementary school and try to blame GTA for it and if GTA gets shut down permanently, that'd be the end of an important legacy to most gamers from my generation.

    The heart of liberty city was the biggest discovery I made in GTA IV. Man you gotta love GTA!

  • Gta2009 - July 23, 2009 3:21 a.m.

    what is with the Secret Room in Head Shark from Star Junction? u must drive fast with the Infernus (from Bernie) to the head Shark should be inside a room with Miniformat of Liberty City!

  • RickyV300 - July 10, 2009 6 a.m.

    when you see the stroller video pause at 9 seconds, you will see a very scary image that is supposed to be a stain...

  • PreciousDevilx - June 8, 2009 3:45 a.m.

    Try getting a cop car and blowing all the siren lights off untill you hear a weird siren, get into the car turn the siren on and enjoy the screaming car. havent tried wit ambulance nor firetruck tho. huh

  • kidliquid - April 14, 2009 2:16 a.m.

    The scream heard when the stroller is shot is Ewan McGregor's character Renton from Trainspotting. It is the scene where Rents is coming off the smack and the dead baby is crawling along the ceiling towards him, unmistakeable.

    u know there is a pigeon in the place where the heart is i shot a rocket at the heart and it said i killed a pigeon

    Wow, I never knew this game had it's own cheat sheet in the game, that will save me some time, awesome inclusion Rockstar.
