GAMEPLAY HINTS
Flip car over
If you have a fast car, look for a sort of statue in the Chinatown Soho area. It is small and in the middle of a sidewalk next to a one way road and has some steps around it. Gain some speed and hit the steps at an angle without hitting the statue itself. Your car should flip through the air.
Donuts
In most rear wheel drive cars, for example the Lotus Esprit, you can get the car to donut in circles by applying full lock on the steering and accelerate with the Right Analog-stick as hard as possible. Then, hold R3. Use this to make clouds of smoke.
Aboard The Sol Vita mission
A way of getting past all the gang members on deck is to go to the steps. Do not go up them. To the left, you will see a tall crane. Attached to the crane is a platform of tanks (oil drums). Go around the back of them and you will see a gap you can get into. Once you are in it, an intermission sequence will start. You will be lifted past all of the gang members. By the time you are put down, they will mostly be dead. The crane will drop you where you need to be. Go up the little steps to get into the ship.
