Did you hail it first? Hold LB.

Or yell "taxi!" down your headset. Apparently if you say it, Nikko does too and hails the cab. Same for voice dialling, jsut say "Call 'name.'" Not tried it myself.

I was doing alright not getting hit up until the street with the cops on the fire escapes up above. Then I died in the subway just as Packie and Derrick went down on the tracks.

Grenades do wonders.

Where the hell is the internet cafe?

Also, how the hell do you out run the 4 star wanted level? I suck at that....same with the 6 star wanted level....and getting a turkey

That save count and playing time would look bad without auto-save.

I didn't manage it because of a fluke, but you know the bridge that's blocked to start with and you get 6 stars instantly for trying to cross? Underneath it is a set of railway lines, and you can drop down to them, at which the police are like WTFWHEREHEGO?!?!?! and you can just wait out the 5 minutes. I did it by accident, I was on the train tracks anyway on an unrelated skirmish, and I accidently crossed the police line, not realising. The only reason I got killed was because two cop cars hit each other and an officer fell down the gap, saw me and started shooting - I'd put my controller down to wait, and was talking to Ellis on MSN, so by the time I realised what had happened, I was doomed.

I found bowling strikes to be pretty easy. Not sure if I found a trick to it, all I did was take two steps left and aim as straight as I could, no aftertouch.

Check the paper map that came with the game, I'm finding it mighty useful. But the nearest one to the start is on the street that runs down the west of Outlook Park.

Decisions... decisions...

Major spoilers regarding Dwayne and Playboy X...

So yeah... I have no fucking which one I should 'execute'. I wonder how the game will turn out after either one. This is rather difficult. So I guess I'll make another save since this seems like a pretty big turning point.

I do believe offing Playboy X seems more in line with the storyline as it's being presented... so off to his place I go.

[Edit:] Yep... storywise Playboy's the way to go...

Fuck I suck.....I got killed trying to hide under there for 5 mins, and bowling, I cannot get a strike. Also, if you manage to take down the helicopter on 4 star, does another one come? Because I think I can outrun the cops, just not the fucking spotlight in the sky.

[Summers]

Fuck Escuela of the Streets.

And fuck Manny for wanting it done.

[JStarr]

According to the guide, 68% of the game is comprised of the main story missions. Other pieces like Vigilante, Most Wanted, stealing cars for Brucie, etc. make up the rest.

And thank fucking Christ there's none of the banal time-wasting bullshit that bogged down San Andreas. BMX Challenge my ass. Taxi work doesn't even count here. 100% might be totally attainable.

[abundant]

I think I may have to start over, because the next story mission isn't popping up. I beat "Blow Your Cover", which should open up "The Puerto Rican Connection", but it didn't.

[Captain Eo]

Fuck Escuela of the Streets.

And fuck Manny for wanting it done.

It was a bitch, until I found out I could buy molotov cocktails.

[Summers]

I sorted it, with style.

[King Ellis]

Fuck Elizabeta.

Fuck her and her fucking mission in the fucking hospital.

[New Damage]

Are there Unique aka "Do-able except for the last one which you're are not sure which one is the last one you haven't done" Jumps in this one?

[King Ellis]

Yes, I did one the other day and it said I had 49 left so that'd be 50 jumps.

[Dan]

My mate is on 69% and has just completed the game.

But he's done a few side missions so we reckon 65% will see you through the missions.

Me? I'm 45.61% and have done 63 missions.
