Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Cheats & Tips

1.How to get back on land.
When you are on a boat far from the land you can get to the land quickly by
doing this trick. First of all be full health and armor. (Use cheats if you
want.) You must be standing in the boat and not driving it. Now just type
BIGBANG. The boat will burn and you will be standing on it .In about 10
seconds you will find yourself in the nearest land area

There are several levels where you have to chase somebody.If you can't kill somebody and you must chase him,here's the trick.You will have to chase that person with some vehicle.If that person is too quick for you,do this: Get out of the car but don't stop it,so the car will go but no one won't drive it.Make sure you get out of the car and you mustn't be close to car.Type Big bang.Nearby cars will explode including your target(person you have to chase).But this won't work always,because your target can escape and you won't be able to kill that person.

Description:
Use your Mr.Whoopee to distribute treats to the locals around town. You must deliver 50 in a row to complete the mission.

Important Buttons:
[L3] -> plays Ice Cream truck music.

Since the ice cream is filled with drugs, the cops will come after you in a short while. If they catch you, or you die, you will fail the mission and have to start over. A good idea is to sell some ice cream in one area, and then go to another for a new batch of people. If you go to a Pay n Spray while doing the mission, you will lose your Wanted Stars for a short while. This is key to beating the mission. The best place to sell the ice cream is around Pay n Sprays, such as the Docks area where a lot of people are. It is a good idea to keep your wanted level below 2.

Here is a list of the money you will make depending on the area of Vice City you are in:

Airport............$12 per sale
Starfish Island....$18 per sale
Prawn Island.......$14 per sale
Little Havana......$8 per sale
Little Haiti.......$8 per sale
All Others.........$10 per sale

Get A fast Car and drive towards the entrance of the mansion, then
bail out at the last minute and the car will go flying in. go inside
and it will be waiting for u to drive. Happy Carpet Wrecking!

f you want to drive a blown up vehicle, go to the drivers side,
pull the guy out. When you're half way in the car, hit ESC and
type BIGBANG, hit ESC again and you should be driving a blown up
vehicle.
NOTE: THIS DOES NOT WORK ON MOTORBIKES!

see when i herd theat you can buy the police station my aim was to buy that so here's what i did
1)geta house that has a garage
2)get a police car (a little bit tricky )
3)get the car in the garrage
4)start the valintage mission
5)get out of the car!
6)you have 60 sec go out of the garage let the door close type bigbang
7)get back in the car (inside the garage undisturbed by the bigbang)
you have passed one level keep on reapiting this till you get the disiered amount of money

have a happy day

This is not a code, what you do is go to the hideout at the top of the second island near the stadium and go straight through some barriers so you are outside of the Global Cafe, drive down that road (straight) and on your right there should be some parking meters, hit them at a really high speed and lots of money should be coming out, but get it quick because it disappears quickly!!!

Does your game keep crashing when there is supposed to be a cutscene? Here is how you can fix that issue.

If frame limiter is on, turn it off. If Frame limiter is off, turn it on.

That should solve it about 80% of the time.

To do this, first get a car and bring it to the Escobar International
Airport. Now, park the car where the hood is facing the entrance to the
airport. Now, run around to the back end of the car and jump on and then walk
up to onto the hood. Now, jump from there over the metal detector and you are
in with all of your weapons. Now, you can cause havoc with any weapon you
please inside the airport.

his is an strange thing to say,but you can get one of the best cars handed free to you!
There's always an catch in this special cheat this one is:drive to Hayle's that is writed
on an fireball.
Go in Hayle's and go right threw the mall.Somwhere in the middel you would see an lot-a-like
Lamborgini winning car.

In the night Get a nice car and get near any prostitute (probably
wearing black dress - 2 piece) and press horn she will come and talk
to you. Then she will get into the car park the car near any corner
place. After some times your money will be reducing and your health
will increase upto 125 get her back to the road. She will get down.
If you want the money back you can kill her and take it back.

have a happy day

To higher your accuracy, get a machine gun with lots and lots of ammo. This
works best when you have infinite ammo from either a cheating device or
getting 100 percent. You can either get a tank and keep shooting it and it
will higher your accuracy over time or you can shoot a blown up car carcass.
If you want to do this without actually having to play, just tape down the
shoot button and go to sleep. When you wake up, you have a lot better
accuracy. Try to do this with the M4 and in 3rd person view and not first.

GTA Vice City : how to stay on a bike what ever you hit
ok ile give away this secret in full hehhhe

1st
Go To Raffels clothes Store (on a Bike)
2nd
Reverse the Bike Onto The Change Clothes Icon
(only the Back Wheel should be on The icon)
Then Step Off the bike
(nothing Should Happen)
DONT PUST ANYTHING (Besides Button to get Bk Onto Bike)
You'll See The Video Cut In and he Changes Clothes
Then You Apear Outside BUT YOUR ALREADY BACK ON THE BIKE

But You can Run lol Jog on the Spot

2 Known Bugs Ive Found is

1 You Cant Use The Side View (wich is a shame as would make such a good video)
2 Its a diffent Button to acelerate (thus Proving an acual Code Flaw)

The most thief prone area is around north point mall. Between north point
mall and pay n spray if you park a good car in the night you will soon find
many people fighting for the car. To see this the best place there is a
parabolic curve in this area towards the sea. Look in the game map in the
main menu to find it. Now get a good car like Cheetah or Phoenix and get
there in the night. Park it anywhere on the roadside. Just move some 50
metres and you will see some guy in red or black shirt taking your car.
If you want you can get back your car by throwing him out. After you get
your car and get the non-driver side towards the thief he will enter the
car and you will be forced to get out. If you accelerate before he completely
gets in, you can travel with him. Some times he may do the driving and push
you to the back seat. Check

This is a really good way to make a quick $1,000. As it turns out, parking is
ridiculously expensive in Vice City. On a North and South running street in
Downtown on the second island (south of the Hyman Condo), there is a street
covered in parking meters (it may be a curved street, I am not sure). If you
run into them (or maybe use a tool like the hammer or baseball bat), you
knock about $2-400 out of them. The only problem is if you hit them too fast,
you will wrap your car around them and they'll get stuck in the engine.
Explosions are usually imminent. I don't think that this willful destruction
of private property even generates a wanted level so you're basically just
able to get decent cash with minimal effort.

As soon as you get control of your character stay in your office and protect
the safe with a colt python (handgun that kills people in one shot) then when
it tells you to kill lance just sprint up to him and chase while ignoring
everyone else. continue chasing lance up the stairs and kill everyone in your
way(Just before you go on the roof you may want to use cheats like restore
health and restore armor). When you get to the roof run towards the helicopter
pad and pick off everyone slowly while hiding behind the wall near the
helicopter pad. When you kill lance run back down the stairs and get the large
wide stairs in the huge hall. Then a cutscene with sonny forelli will appear
and as soon as that is over run away from him and run back upto the rooftop
where you killed lance, then get out your rocket launcher (use cheat if necessary,
and remember to refresh your health and armor). With your rocket launcher stand
on the edge of the rooftop on the tiles until you can see the !
three limosines that spawn enemies then blow those three up to make life easier.
Then jump all the way down to driveway but make sure you re well away from the
front stairs when you make your jump. When you hit the ground remember to kill
anyone attacking you (refresh your health and armor with cheats if necessary).
Then approach the from the large stairs( you should be outside now). Then fire
at Sonny like there's now tommorrow with rockets it took me five rockets for
me to kill him.

Go to the roof of the building where you first started G Spotlight and there
will be a Sparrow parked there.There is
also one on the roof of a house near the Pay N Spray in Ocean Beach. To get
to it, go to the Collars And Cuffs in Ocean Beach. Then, go down that alley
where Collars And Cuffs is and there will be a parking garage on your right.
Go to the top floor and there will be some ramps. Before jumping, look around
and find the Sparrow and then jump to it. I'm not sure if you can reach it in
one jump or not so you might half to jump more than 1 roof. The parking
garage is also located near the Pay N Spray. It is white and has around 5
stories. For the easiest way, just get to the Pay N Spray in Ocean Beach.
Now, go to that place right by it with the parked PCJ-600 and Banshee (or
sometimes Cheetah's or Infernus's). Now, get the PCJ-600 and back up all the
way from the white stairs. Back up until you have crossed the street and have
went in the alley with the gray pavement. Keep going back until you reach the
shrubs. Now, punch the gas and go fast and hit the stairs. You need to clear
the first building and land on the second one. It is pink. The Sparrow will
be up there. There is also one across from the Links View Apartment. Across
the street from it is a building with an arched entrance that you can go in.
Go inside the arch, there will be some backyards. There should be a Sparrow
in the first one on your right.

Jump onto the hood or roof of a van or car and then get the weapon of your choice. You can then shoot peds and pop the tires of cars behind you whilst moving along on the roof of the computer controlled car underneath you. (Note: Tommy will slide of some cars, just keep on trying on different cars/vans until you get one that he can 'surf'.

You must be in possesion of a coach which you can find around the Malibu area. Now use the GRIPISEVERYTHING (type during gameplay) cheat once and the ONSPEED (also typed during gameplay) cheat twice. When you drive your coach it will send any car including swat vans flying. If the coach starts smoking or its tires pop just type ASPIRINE (like the other, this code is also typed in directly during the game).

AIRSHIP - allows you to make your car jump.
after activating this cheat code, use SHIFT to blow air under your car, and make it jump.

To morph Tommy to a PCJ 600 (other bike, Caddy, etc.), park so the left part of a clothes icon goes through the middle of the right side of the PCJ and have Tommy get off and back on. The controls that change become:
Left Shift....Forward
Space Bar....Reverse
A....Left
D....Right
W....Lean forward
S....Lean back
Tab....change radio stations
He can do stunts and not fall off the bike (and he does a Fred Flintstone impression with the Caddy).

One specific way to do the PC Superjump: send morphed Tommy on a PCJ at the middle of the left side of the Packer ramp that extends back past the rear wheel. The Packer raises up onto the front wheels as the bike slides back the ramp with the effort--quit before reaching the back end. The Packer holds the position and Tommy can go through the back of the ramp. Send the PCJ through the middle of that back ramp section from left to right, then turn forward and back, careful not to bump the Packer, till Tommy is in the ramp pointed forward at the middle of the rear axle. Send him forward to bump the Packer--when it falls, the result can send Tommy twirling over Vice City, and may make the Packer fly up and explode.

The easiest way to see Ghost World is to send the Sea Sparrow up into the front porch ceiling of the WK Chariot, into the building, then down through and out of it.

Another is to have Tommy jump up and down on the lamp at the N corner of Apt.3C (E Island, 2nd block to the N and 3rd to the W, 2nd floor door of two story apartment bldg.) till he goes through the ceiling then jump N to the ground. Have him follow the roads by using the radar. The interior of Mitch Baker's biker bar will be visible. Have him enter a place that loads an interior (North Point Mall, etc.) to leave this kind of Ghost World.
