The basic codes seem to be the same as from Vice City. Awesome.

Weapon Bank 1 - R1, R2, L1, R2, L, D, R, U, L, D, R, U
Weapon Bank 2 - R1, R2, L1, R2, L, D, R, U, L, D, D, L
Weapon Bank 3 - R1, R2, L1, R2, L, D, R, U, L, D, D, D
Armor - R1, R2, L1, X, Left, Down, Right, Up, Left, Down, Right, Up
Health - R1, R2, L1, O, Left, Down, Right, Up, Left, Down, Right, Up
Lower Wanted Level - R1, R1, O, R2, U, D, U, D, U, D

Haven't tried any of the other ones. Assumingly, anything that is in both games is probably the same code (Blowing up Cars, Changing Clothes, etc..)

The game is quite a bit of fun. Been playing it for a few days, and have done tons of missions, and I haven't even explored a fourth of the city.

All the skills are nice, character customization is nice. All the clothes, tattoo, hairstyles, and stuff like that. The skills are kinda fun. I've maxed out my AK-47 Skill,

You can hold territories, and your own gangmembers are more useful, because you can recruit them to follow you around, get in cars with you and stuff.

Only problem I have so far is I don't feel like I'm "moving up" in the world. Still driving around the same beat up areas of town still.

Russians are a freaking pain.

I love Samuel L. Jackson's voice. Radio stations are pretty good.

A lot of polishing up on traditional GTA mechanics. Things are good.

I didn't like Vice City because of the way the cars came off as box-like.

I did however like GTA:3... Until I couldn't beat the missions and fucking around with passer-bys got boring.

Have you seen cars from the 80s? Excluding certain cars, and certain types, a lot were kinda boxy. But yeah, you have to expect certain limitations in a game.

Don't expect the missions to be that much easier, but eh...

It's a really fun game...

Whenever any of you get to the Low-Rider, High Stakes mission, tell me. It's the only mission I have visible, and it's the only one I can't beat.
Ironicly, it's also the mission where the only FAQ on GameFAQs ends.
