Yeah I don't know how I won... right before the finish the second place car passed me but I had a clear shot and was hard on the gas. Was maybe half a length ahead of him going over the line. It was funny watching all the other cars go flying through the air after the finish, flipping and what not.I'm under the impression that I'm about 3 missions away from the second island. Problem is I spend SOOOO much time doing side missions and odd jobs LOL... easy to be distracted I guess.

Its so hard to not get sidetracked. I know that I could just drive around causing chaos for hours at a time.

well I got to the second island. Spend most of the time looking for all the new locations. Caught a comedy show.That stuck up nurse told me it was best I never saw her again... so I went and stole a Ferrari and bought a $2000 suit. hopefully I can try again since now I have some fancier places to go besides The Cluckin Bell. LOL But then I lost the Ferrari. doing a mission Oh well I know where to steal another one haha.Is there property you can buy or a safe house on the second island? Maybe at least a place to store a car or two? I'm tired of going to Bohan and my parking place there is full.Taking a boat out on the water at night was really cool. The water effects are awesome.

no..you cant buy properties in this one..unlike the san andreas..which sucks..i have read theirs a runned down tatoo parlour on that little island to the north..but i've yet to be able to do so..all the safe houses on the 2nd island are given to you as you progress...i believe i've got 3 on the 2nd island and 1 on that island i mentioned..plus theirs 2 or more on the 3rd islandthey did an amazing job with the graphics and the water and everything..one thing i noticed and love..is when ur near the waters edge and look over to the other island..u can see all the lights and the car lights aswell...headlights/taillights..i think thats awesome...one thing i know you'd love to do phil..is on the 2nd island...go to the south-eastern part..they got the helicopter tours there..you can steal a heli off them(and get no wanted stars since you're a safe distance from any cop) and looking at the city from the air at night is just amazing

I have a lot of from Brucie because he will let me use his boat and heli at any time. I can even call him and he'll pick me up with a heli. What was really cool is he called me up and took me boating and out with the heli at night before the option to call for a ride became available.I hear that at the end of the PlayboyX missions, the option for a safe house becomes available... I'm taking it even if it means I gotta kill PlayboyX. Its just he has a sweet house. LOL Can't wait to get some other houses too because I have a list of cars I wanna keep.Whats the secret to getting the cop out on a date? the e-mail says 12:00 Sat. well she never showed up on my radar all day saturday on the ingame clock.

I'm probably in the negative with him LOL.

I DID IT!!..i've beat the game!!...man it's such a great game..im at 63% though..so still gotta do all the miscelanious stuff now ending was great..once i get 100% im gonna re-do the game and do things differently..kill certain people instead of others

no spoilers please LOLMichelle just took my dope and I got into a big shoot out at the strip club. Got both Nikki and Carmen (cop and nurse) but they don't seem to heal you or remove wanted stars during a mission Still on the second island though."If you had $300,000 dollors and wanted to put 10% down for a $9 car I couldn't because your credit is so bad. What I can do is recommend you to a public transit officer for a bus pass." that comedy club is FUNNY.

It was a sad moment in the game. Checked my email after and he had sent one before the incident. If anybody still has that email, try replying to it when he's dead...

and yes see the other ending..as for killing people i killed X and got his place..lol..but thats the thing i wanna go back through and kill the people i didnt kill..theirs..i believe 3 spots like that..where you gotta make a choice...and im not gonna spoil it but the end is awesome OH i also found that appache helicopter...i kept looking at the airport to see if it'll spawn there..but it never ever did...i found it on top of a police department on the 2nd island near the lowest bridge(i believe) you'd have to get a maverick and fly over the area..you'll see the heli pad and when u get closer it should spawn the appache..

Quote, originally posted by kunkstyle »Really enjoying that strip club I take it?HAHA no its to expensive there. Took me about 6 tries. I'd either get gunned down by a shot gun or during the car chase outside. I managed to finish it driving the vette with only one tire left and a swarm of cops. I was one shot away from being killed myself so I kept the car moving. Since I had already shot the driver of the getaway car, I just kept running down the gunmen until they were dead.I did the "Snow Storm" one about 3 times. First time I died trying to get out of the old hospital. I decided to shot everything... LOL bad idea. Second time through I made it out by running past every cop. I got shot up though in the parking lot. So third attempt, I ran out and jumped into the truck I was always blowing up earlier cause it was fun too. Drove out of there and lost the 3 star wanted level pretty quick.Sure glad Manny is dead. Only wish I was the one to have put him out.

Haven't done snow storm yet.Manny dies? Too bad Undressed to kill took me 3 tries I think. It's waaaaaay easier if you start with the manager in the 'champagne room' first. Going from back to front I managed to kill the other two before they got in thier Escalade.

i killed the first manager..using the bat..nice and silent lol..then went to the champagne room one and then killed the other one..snow storm was easy for me..took my time going in..runned and gunned going out..im trying to figure out what the other 37% i have left to do is...i'll have to search for this

my buddy told me something weird about the statue..he said if you fly close..and crash into it so you land on the last level..you can actually go in..theirs one of the flying rats..and a heart that beats(for the statue of liberty)..not sure if this is true but i've gotta try it

yep....i was messin around alot..did you know if you do a burnout long enough the tires pop? lolim trying to do the vigilante stuff..i think theirs 3 lists..1 per island..of 10 most wantedand that appache helicopter is ontop of the police station north west of the broker bridge..only way to get it is with another heli..and it possibly only might be available after the game is complete(yay me)

ok well i did it..got inside the statue itself...there is no pigeon/flying rat inside..but there is a heart!the door in which you go into..the plaques on either side say "no hidden content here"after u get in..this is all you see..4 walls..4 doors..and a ladder leading upat the top of this ladder is a platform..and the heart of lady liberty!i've tried to blow it up and do stuff with it..but nothing happens..so i guess it's just there for the hell of it

So wave since you beat GTA4... is there only 2 endings or are there multiple endings? Cause I've come across different paths so far that could all end up with a different outcome. Kill playboyX or Dwayne. when working for Vlad, kill the one guy or let him go. When going after Dwayne's money, kill his x-girlfriend or let her live. Safe Roman or let them kill him. I discovered that by mistake last night that if he dies, the game doesn't prompt you to start over. Infact if I didn't have two save files going, it auto saved his death and I had to start over from the previous file which wasn't far behind.If only all job interviews were like "The Final Interview" lol
