One year after the hit called Grand Theft Auto III, Rockstar Games seemed to want more out of this franchise and released Vice City. Featuring some new vehicles and the gangster action that GTA brought to our consoles from the beginning, Vice City's story revolves around Tommy Vercetti, one of those Italian guys that take pride in calling themselves mobsters. Since the action happens in the eighties, you'll be seeing lots of flower power dudes, those cool Miami shirts and you'll be able to listen to the music that rocked our parents' youth. The action remains violent and fast-paced and the player's freedom is unlimited. You can do anything, from stealing candy from a baby (literally) to hijacking large planes. Maybe you won't have the chance to cause so much chaos in order to receive those cool bonuses, so we provide you cheats to increase the fun:

Hint: Leaf Links: Phallic symbol
When you are at Leaf Links Golf course at the country club entrance, turn so your back is facing the entrance and you are looking out to the city. Turn left less than a quarter turn to see three large buildings. If it is dark, but before 00:00 hours, you will see lights in the windows of these buildings. The largest building will have a symbol of a penis with two balls.

Hint: Little Havana: Import export garage
After purchasing Sunshine Autos located at Little Havana, you will be able to take the listed cars to it.

Hint: Northpoint: Grand Theft Auto screens
In the Northpoint Mall, go into the Tarbrush Cafe. Go behind the counter and take a look at the registers. You will find screens from the original Grand Theft Auto.

Hint: Northpoint: Katana
In the Northpoint Mall, go into the Tarbrush Cafe. Go into the back room to find the katana.

Hint: Northpoint: Easy money
To get an easy $200 to $300, go to Northpoint Mall and follow a police officer until he begins chasing someone. Attack that person with your fists (no brass knuckles-you gain more money without them) to get $50 for every punch you throw.
Be sure not to hit the police officer.

Go to the indoor mall at the far end of town (from the hideout). Find The Gap and the CD store. Rob the CD store by aiming at the clerk with auto aim. Wait until you get only one star. When he sets the alarm off, you will get another star. Then, run to The Gap and get a change of clothes. The stars will go away. You can rob the CD store clerk again. If he is not there, go downstairs at The Gap and rob that clerk, going back and forth. This saves you a trip to the CD store just to find out that the clerk is on break.

Hint: Northpoint: RC Baron Race
Get in the Toy Fun Van on the top of the parking garage next to the mall to start the RC Baron Race, in which you will fly RC planes across the island.

Hint: Northpoint: RC Bandit Race
Get in the Toy Fun Van near the dirt bike track.

Hint: Vice Point: Village People
The Village People perform inside the Malibu club. Dicing them up with a chainsaw is very cathartic.

Hint: Angel
Go to the Greasy Choppers Bike Club in Downtown to find the patriotic Angel motorcycle.

Hint: Caddy
Go to Escobar International Airport and go straight around the terminal to find a Caddy.

Hint: Caddy: Drive out of the golfing area
Enable the „Dodo car" code. Steal a golf cart (Caddy) and drive towards the exit area (where the view is from a security camera). Instead of going in that area, go up the grass hill to the left of the stairs. Fly over the house by pressing Analog-stick Down. Try to avoid the ones which pop out and stop you from flying. If you make it on the roof, go right or left immediately to avoid the big pillar then continue down to the street. This may be difficult at first, but can be done with some practice.

Hint: Deluxo
To get the Deluxo, you must first purchase Sunshine Autos. Go down to where all of the garages are and look for one with a dry-erase board next to it. This board indicates what cars you need to bring to that garage. Once you bring in all of the cars, you will receive the Deluxo and Sunshine Autos will also begin making money for you.

Hint: Infernus: Mall appearance
Destroy most of the cars in the multistory car garage at Northpoint Mall. When you return, most of the cars will be replaced with Infernuses.

Hint: Patriot
To get the Patriot from Grand Theft Auto 3, go to the movie set located on the top middle island of your map. You can either buy the set or you can just get in a motorcycle and do a jump over the wall.

Hint: Voodoo: Hydraulics
To work the hydraulics in the Voodoo, press R3.

Hint: Patriot
Go to Phil Cassidy's trailer in Little Haiti. Enter and you will see a trailer. Look left to see a building-like garage. A Patriot is parked inside.

Hint: Helicopters: Hovering
Hold L3 while flying a helicopter-class vehicle to hover. This can be used to immediately slow down while flying fast.

Hint: Motorcycles: Tricks
Press Down(2) while riding a motorcycle-class vehicle to pop a wheelie.

Press Up(2) while riding to stand.

Get a PCJ 600. From a stop, press Down and press X. When the motorcycle is in a wheelie, tap the X rapidly to keep the bike up. This will allow you to stay in the wheelie for as long as desired. This is also a great way of making money.

Choose a dirt bike or sport bike and build up a little speed. If you hit the regular and emergency brakes at the same time and stand up (Left Analog-stick Up), you can do a stoppie and earn some money. You can also get extra points for flipping around 180 degrees on the front wheel.

Hint: Demolition Man mission
In this mission, you must fly a toy helicopter into a building and drop four bombs into specific points within the building and avoid getting beat or shot down in only seven minutes. There are construction workers and security guards with guns who will attack the toy helicopter throughout the building. The countdown however, does not start until you pick up the first bomb. The best way to begin the mission is to find and kill the construction workers and security guards by flying into them with the propeller before you pick up any bombs. This will get them out of the way and you will get a feel for flying the helicopter and spotting where the targets are in the process. After you have killed them all, go back to get the bombs and start dropping them in the targets. Also avoid flying into anything-with enough damage the helicopter will be totaled.

Another way to complete this mission is to pickup the first bomb and place it on the top floor first. Then, place the next bomb on the third floor, the next bomb on the second floor, and the final bomb on the bottom level.

Hint: Rub Out mission: Vercetti's Estate
After finishing the Rub Out mission, Diaz's estate will be yours and be called Vercetti's Estate.

Hint: Sir!, Yes, Sir! mission
Use a motorcycle for this mission. Move up the left side of the convoy, pull in front of the thing you want to steal then stop and get off the bike. Before anyone can react, hop into the door on the left side and pull away.

Hint: Get to Starfish Island early
To get to Starfish Island without completing the missions, get a fast motorcycle (not a moped). Go to the Starfish bridge and floor it through the tiny hole used by bridge pedestrians. Wreck at the gate and the game should put you on Starfish Island.

Hint: Get to any locked part early
Enable the „Dodo car" code and use any car. Go as fast as you can and jump over the highest sign blocking the next section of the game. Keep repeating this until you get there.

Hint: Easy money
Occasionally, as you wander around the city, you will encounter a cop fighting with a gang member (especially in Northpoint Mall). If you step in and hit the gang member, you will receive a $50 Good Citizen's Bonus when the gang member dies. Once the guy is on the ground, you can continue to kick him and receive the bonus two or three more times (until the body disappears). This is an easy way to get some quick cash, and do some fighting in the process.
Purchasing the strip club or the docks will earn you extra money.

Knock over the parking meters on the sides of the streets to get money.

Hint: Baseball bat
Look in the alleyway directly behind your hideout to find a baseball bat.

Hint: Brass knuckles
Look slightly north (less than 100 feet) from the baseball bat behind your hideout to find a set of brass knuckles.

Hint: Chainsaw
Enter the apartment building in Ocean Beach next to the Pay & Spray. Find the open door to apartment 30. To your right is a bathroom with blood all over. The chainsaw can be found there.

Hint: Knife
Go to the alleyway in the south-east corner of the east island (where you start) to find the knife.

Hint: Shotgun
You can find a shotgun at any time by going to the top of the Washington Mall via the car park (the circle ramp). When at the top of the building, do down the left side ramp, and then immediately turn around. The gun is to the left of the ramp at the back.

Hint: Run longer
Tap X instead of holding it to make Tommy's stamina last longer.

Hint: Leave car door open
Exit a car while holding Handbrake. You will not close the door, which can be useful if you know that you are going to need to get back in quickly.

Hint: Restore health
Go to your hideout and go to „Save". Either save or leave without saving and your health will be restored to full.

Hint: Decrease wanted level to zero
Go to your hideout and go to „Save". Load the most recent save and your wanted level will drop to zero.
You can clear your wanted level by entering a RC Racer Competition.

You do not have to complete the competition to clear your wanted level.
