mission starts. You will have more time to finish your objectives. This is
especially helpful for the mission in which you chase Jones' assassin.
Hint:
Invincibility, immunity, and all cars: Successfully complete the game in the undercover mode.
Hint:
Chicago: Surveillance Tip Off: Easy completion: First, take a right on to the highway. Drive down past the
first off ramp. Do the same thing at the second one. At the third off
ramp, get off the highway. Go straight down the street. Take a left at the
second turn and go to the gray car on the sidewalk. Get into it to
complete the mission. Note: This may take a few attempts. Do not stop
driving for any reason.

Hint:
Chicago: Parked police car: Go to Wrigley field and look around the park. At one of the
corners of the street you will find a parked police car. Note: Your felony
bar will be at max.
Hint:
Chicago: Crazy police car: In the take a ride mode, have two police cars chase Tanner to
the drawbridge with an area on the side of one of the openings of the
bridge. This area should have buildings on one side and the river on the
other side. There is plenty of room to drive around. When you find the
place, you should see a police car roadblock on the opposite side of the
river from where your car and the two police cars are located. Destroy one
of the police cars and leave the other alone. After the first car is
destroyed, get out of that area and lose the other car. As soon as you
hear the "We've lost him" message, get out of your car into a
different one. Drive to the same drawbridge that you were near when you
destroyed the first car. Get out of your new car and walk to the middle of
the bridge. The other police car will follow you as you are walking, and
run circles trying to run you over. However it cannot harm you because you
are not in a car. The police car will only stop when it wrecks itself.
Hint:
Chicago: Losing police: When you are being chased by the police near Navy Pier, go
there and try not to crash. Carefully go up on the platform then go on the
other side of it. The police will then say that they have lost you. Get
out of your car and go to where to police lost you. He will still have his
sirens on and will try to ram you, but will goes right through you.
Hint:
Chicago: Steal a fire truck: Take a left and when you reach an intersection, take a right.
Go straight to get to the gas station then turn left. Drive until you get

there. If it leaves the screen, you will not be able to get it until
another one drives by.
Hint:
Chicago: Secret car: Head north and go to the Wrigleyville area and find Wrigley
Field. Go to the northwest end of the ballpark. Park your car, get out.
walk over to where it says "Tickets" and press Triangle.
A secret area located in the southeast corner of the ballpark will open.
Return to your car, drive around to the southeast corner, and drive
through the now opened gate and into the ballpark. Drive over to the ramp,
get out of your car, walk up the ramp, turn right, and follow the walkway
to the secret car.
Hint:
Chicago: Get a lot of air: Drive straight in the Chicago level until you reach a draw
bridge. Backup and go up at full speed before the draw bridge goes up too
high.
Go to Navy Pier on the east
side of the map. Drive to the Ferris wheel on the west side; there is a
ramp to get up there. Start from the road and go.
Start the game in take a ride
mode in Chicago and choose one of the faster cars. When the game starts,
wait for about two seconds before blasting forward (north) as fast as
possible. Do not hit anyone or slow down and you will reach the drawbridge
as it is going up. True "Blues Brothers" air time will follow.
After landing, keep hauling -- turn left at the next street, go to the
second street over, and turn left again. You should be able to hit another
drawbridge just as it is coming up. To get more air time, go to the east
side (Navy Pier) where the amusement park is located. On the north end of
the park, there is a ramp that you can drive up to get to the Ferris
Wheel. Get a big running start at that ramp from outside the park
boundaries and you will nearly land in the lake.
Hint:
Chicago: Fall off a bridge: Drive onto the gray bridge and park in the middle of it. When
its starts to shake, get in your car. In a few seconds, you will fall off.
Hint:
Chicago: Air field: Press Start and go to the map. Look for Wrigley Field
and look next to it. You will see a picture of a plane. Go there and it
wil be blocked. Go to the Navy Pier, and use the secret car to jump in the
lake. If done correctly, when the game resets you will end up on the
runway, being chased by a Learjet. Do not let it hit you or you will get
maximum damage.
Hint:
Chicago: Unlimited time in survival mode: When you start, hold Circle + Right to do a 180
and head behind you. Straight back and to the left are some trees. Weave
in between them to slow down pursuing cops. When you get to the buildings,
turn down the small alley to the left and head back out towards the road
you started on. Watch out for a cop that is near the road sometimes. Go
right down the road, over a bridge, and left into the warehouse area. Once
inside and without cops immediately behind, you will be safe -- no more
can re-spawn in here. Note: This is extremely hard and may take a couple
of tries to accomplish.
Hint:
Chicago: Reset felony level and fix damage on secret car: After you unlock the secret car in Chicago, if you have too
much felony drive to the tickets counter and press Triangle as you
did before. When you find and get into the car again you will not have any
felony and any damage will be fixed.
Hint:
Chicago: Drive on two wheels: Drive the secret car at full speed. Hold Circle then
hold L1 and turn to either the left or the right. When the car
starts to slide sideways, lock up the brakes by holding Triangle + Square.
This should lift the two tires on the inside of the spin off the ground.
Once this happens, stop turning the front wheels and quickly get off the
gas before the car rolls over. Once on the wheels, not the side of the
car, balance the car by steering, and slowly accelerate to drive along.
This is difficult to do, but it is possible to drive like this for 15 or
20 car lengths with some practice.
Hint:
Havana: Secret car: Drive towards the tunnel located at the west end of the city.
Just before the tunnel is a road on your left. Drive to the end of the
road to reach a wall. Turn right and about one third of the way down, you
will find the switch next to some trees on your right. Get out of your
car, walk up to the switch, and press Triangle to open a secret
area. Get back into your car, turn around, and head back to the road you
just came off. You will see that the gate is now open. Drive in and down,
ignoring the left turns. Keep driving to the end, then turn right and
follow it down, making continuous left turns. When you get to the bottom,
turn left again then right, and left once more. Follow that tunnel down to
the end to find the secret car on a risen platform. You will see the
switch on the right of the platform, on the wall. The secret car is the
Mr. Bean car.
Go to the secret car area. Do
the same as you would to get the car as normal, except go past the opening
on the road to the corner. You will see the point you get to after
obtaining the car. Go down it, and you will be in the secret car area.
Note: If it does not work at first, enable the "Invincibility"
cheat and try again.
To get the secret car easier,
follow the previous directions, but instead of going underground and
through the halls, just go around the underground opening. There will be a
hole in the ground where you can fall through. If you do not hit the car
off the platform, then you can just be raised back up to the surface. If
you do knock it off, then you have to find your way out by following the
directions to get inside in reverse.
Hint:
Havana: Bail from car: This trick works best with the secret car in Havana. If you are
drive really fast and turn a corner, make sure you get out of the car
before it flips. If it does flip, do not get back in.
Hint:
Havana: Using a roof as a ramp: Drive to the tunnel and pass it. Keep driving and you will soon
see a house on the right. If you go fast enough, you can ramp off the side
and get big air.
Hint:
Havana: Drive on the roof: Go to one of the islands. Once there, look on your map and find
a gray area. If you do not see it, you are on the wrong island. Go to the
area, and it should be a fort complete with cannons. Go to the end of the
road to find a wall with two ramps facing sideways to you. Drive up one.
On the right, you should see a small building on the ground. Drive through
the opening and land on the roof.
Hint:
Havana: Ride a wheelie: Choose the Mini Cooper and while holding Circle, run
into a pole by the headlight. If done correctly you should be able ride a
wheelie as long as Circle is held. Note: You will have no control
while doing this. Do not attempt this while being chased by the police.
Hint:
Havana: Steal a bus: Go to Capitollo and drive around the blocks. Eventually you
will see a large civilian type bus. Be careful as it can be destroyed
quickly if it gets hit in the side hard. If you a police car head-on with
the bus, it will go flying across the street.
Hint:
Havana: Coach: Go to the castle area or the start of the tunnel main area
(land side) to find a coach. Press Triangle at its door to enter.
Hint:
Havana: Police car: Do not go in the three tunnels when you start. Instead, just
drive around the three tunnels. Keep going until you see a parked police
car on either side. Do not run away from the police car unless you see the
white light on your map. Stop by the police car, get out of your car, walk
up to the police car and get inside it. Note: Your felony bar will fill up
all the way once this is done.
Go to Havana in take a ride
mode. Go where it says "Docks" on the map. Drive down the bumpy
rode and you should find a cop car. Note: Your felony bar will be at
maximum after you steal it.
Hint:
Havana: Disable police car: Get The Bobtail and speed, then turn around and run right into
his front end.
Hijack a truck and hit a
police car head on at full speed to instantly take it out.
Hint:
Havana: Get rid of police cars: Go to the ferry and park just besides the ramp on the ferry
side. When the cops are chasing you, they should jump the ramp and fly
into the water. They should drive around below the ferry for a short while
before dying. Leave your car on the ferry because there will be a
roadblock in the warehouse.
When you start the level, on
the right there will be a little hole. Go through it and the police will
not usually go in there. If they do, you can easily kill or lose them
there.
Hint:
Havana: More time in survival mode: When you start, go straight and slightly to the left weaving
between some trees (to slow down pursuing cops). You are aiming for the
monument on the hill ahead. You should cross the road and climb the hill
to it, just next to the left edge. Brake half way up and stop at the top.
The following cops will launch over your car repeatedly. Stay close to the
left edge of the platform or they will hit the tower in the middle and
fall on you.
When you start, go straight
and slightly to the left weaving between some trees (to slow down pursuing
cops). You are aiming for the monument on the hill ahead. You should cross
the road and climb the hill to it, just next to the left edge. Brake half
way up and stop at the top. The following cops will launch over your car.
When they are on the other side, head off the left side of the platform
and into an alley. Quickly turn left in the alley around the dumpster and
follow the edge of the wall down to the corner. Stay at this location. The
cops will try to get to you and may do so after some time. However, if you
were fast enough, they will get stuck outside the alley or on the other
side of the dumpster.
Hint:
Havana: Felony that can be taken away: To get a felony that can be taken away go to Havana, and get
the van. Follow a police car while honking. If done for a long enough
time, the felony meter will rise just a little bit. It will rise even more
if honking continues. To get rid of the felony, just drive around obeying
the laws. If the felony meter starts to flash it cannot be lost.
Hint:
Havana: Do a willy: Get the secret car in Havana. When a cop taps you in the front
end, hold Circle.
Hint:
Havana: Cat walk with the secret car: Start take a ride mode in Havana and use the secret car. Drive
up to a wall head on at a normal speed. After hitting the wall, press Circle
to make the car go on the back two wheels. The car will stay like this
until the wheels stop peeling. This looks best during replays. After doing
this, try it off the back of other cars on the road at high speeds.
Hint:
Las Vegas: Secret car: Take the first right turn and follow it down. Turn left to go
to the Tropicana area. Turn right at the second street, then take the
first left turn. Follow the "S" curve and stop at the crosswalk.
Look left to see a gate and a building. Follow that building with the four
cones in front of it. At the end of the building is an opened gate. Turn
in there and you will see the switch next to the fence at the end of the
building. Get out of your car and walk over to the switch. Press Triangle
to open the gate you first saw. Get back in your car and drive around into

building is where you turn to go to the secret area.
Drive south to the airport on
Koval. Turn east off of Koval (using the overpass). Drive south towards
the airport, along the most easterly road on the map. After the road
curves to the west, look to your left for an alley that leads behind the
building. It will be marked with pylons and a slow sign. Carjack a truck
(recommended) or car. Drive over the ramp to jump the wall to the secret
area.
There is a secret area in Las
Vegas close to tha airport. Begin by going straight from your starting
location. Turn left at the first turn, then keep going straight on that
street (Koval). Keep going until you see a big crane. Then, look to your
left and find a building with flags on it. Follow that building to the
end. You will see a small detour sign. Go into the place that says that
you cannot enter. Try to drive as fast as you can, as you are going to
have to jump on a ramp to get into that area. Once you jump over the
fence, the message "You've unlocked a secret area" will appear.
There is a secret area in
with some jumps and other things. Find the airport. At the very bottom and
to the far east should be a long road that curves at the bottom. Start at
the western point on the road and go east, away from the airport. Before
the road turns to the north, look left (south) as your go. You should see
a few signs that say caution and detour on them. Follow that road behind
the buildings and you will reach a jump. Go off the jump over the wall and
you will be in the area.
Hint:
Las Vegas: Invincibility cheat: Go to Take a Ride mode and choose Las Vegas. When you start,
take the first right and stay on this road. Keep going until you pass
Flamingo Road. If you are facing south look to your left. There will be a
white building with red trim with "Dollar Slots" there. To the
left of the sign is a store called "Wiley's Pharmaceuticals".
The switch is in front of the "99 Cents" sign. Walk up to it and
press Triangle. The cheat will be unlocked in the secrets screen

then "Secret". Select "Invincibility" to activate the
cheat.
Hint:
Las Vegas: Lose the police: While driving in Las Vegas, down mid-Strip, you will see that
there are walkways that go up and over the road to the other side. If you
are getting chased by the police and you come across one of these, jump it
smoothly. At the very least you will gain a few seconds on your pursuers.
However, most of the time the police will crash into each other trying to
go up it, or they will run into one of the walls on the sides of the
steps.
Hint:
Las Vegas: Find Ambulance easily: As soon as you start the game, select the map and look for
downtown. Drive to downtown till you reach the center. Once there, you can
find ambulances in abundance. You can even encounter them at the entrance
to downtown.

building because you might fall trough the floor and drown, just like in
water.
Hint:
Las Vegas: Good survival mode time: To get a very good time in survival mode in Las Vegas, find a
bridge that takes people from one sidewalk to another. Drive up the stairs
and turn so that you are in the middle of it. Just wait there while the
police figure out how to follow. Once they are up on the bridge with you,

garage. This may take a few times, but when you do this, you will get a
high score.
Hint:
Las Vegas: Doing tricks: Go to the ghost town. Go towards the outer part of the town.

other way. Turn right at the third street, which will take you past the
big lake. Immediately after the lake is an intersection. Turn left there
to find a building with a garage door and a regular door. That building
should have barbed-wired fence at the top of it. To open the door, you

depending on choices made in the game.
Hint:
Rio: Stop the hitman: When you have to stop the hitman in Rio, get in your car as
fast as possible and drive to the road he turns on to. Get right in front
of him and do not press the gas. Just steer as he pushes you and he will
die in a matter of seconds.
Get in front him and keep
going until you reach the mountainside then slow down. If he rams you, he
will take more damage than you will. Keep ramming him and he will
eventually die.
Hint:
Rio: Good survival mode time: When you start, there will be a raised platform to your right.
Go under it and you should reach stairs that lead up to it. Take the
stairs and get behind the two pillars at the top. Stay so that the middle
section of you car can be seen between them. The cops will take the stairs
and fly between the pillars; over you, and off the platform. After that
remain there and they will not be able to get to you.
Hint:
Rio: Secret dock: Go to the mountain pass. When at the starting line, turn around
and drive until you see a brown fence on your right. Drive very carefully

If you fall off, you will drop and hit the dock once before getting a game
over.
Hint:
Save Jones: To stop the hit man quickly and easily, hit him into the water.
Follow the quickest route to the water, near the 90 degree corner. If you
are fast enough, you will get there at the same time or a slightly before
the hit man turns the corner and comes toward you. Hit him on an angle,
and try to drive him over the beach into the water. He will quickly get
stuck, and you will have stopped him without having to chase him all over
town.
Hint:
Avoid police chases: Drive like you are one of the city cars and the police will not
follow you unless you hit a car or building.
Enable the
"Invincibility" cheat. If you are in a van or a slow vehicle and
the police are too fast, turn around and head straight into them. Try to
crash them. If done correctly, your map will go white and you will be
free.
Steal a fire truck and the
police will not chase you. If you hit any poles, cars, or anything he will
chase you.
If you are in a slow car, try
to find a hidden driveway . If you hide in it , the cops cannot find you
and they should eventually crash and wreck.
If you are not being chased ,
but you want to be protected , look for an armored truck. It should be
bluish/gray. Also try getting school buses.
You can avoid police chases
by acting normal, and not doing anything you should not.
When going the wrong way on a
highway ramp, get a few cars in a traffic jam and go through. Go and do
not stop on the highway. Note: You will get slightly damaged.
When you encounter a cop,
keep revving the car slowly until you pass him. Note: This only works
about 35% of the time.
To pass up a cop without
getting into a chase, drive very slow until you are close. Then, get next
to him and carefully tap X and slowly pass him. A controller with
an auto-fire feature makes this easier. Enable the auto-fire, get near
him, then hold X to slowly overtake him. Note: This requires
practice.
Enable the "Silent
car" trick when a cop is near you. You will almost be invisible to
the police. You can do this with every cop you encounter. Note: Make sure
that the cop has not seen you yet. If the cop has seen you already, this
will not work.
If you are being chased by
cops and they make a road block, do not crash into them and they will not
come after you. And get rid of the cop(s) that you have then get out of
your car. Go to the roadblock and get into another car. Very gently bump a
cop car then quickly get out of the car. The cop will go after the other
car. This may be difficult to execute.
Hint:
Flying police car: When being chased by a cop, go very fast and get behind a car.
Let the cop hit you. You will hit the car, bounce back, hit the cop, and
the police car will go flying. Note: This must be timed correctly with
enough speed.
Hint:
Destroying police cars: In take a ride mode in any city, when being chased by cops move
very close to a pole, tree, or another car. The pole works the best. The
cops will most likely hit them, especially if they are close behind you.
They seem to veer off to the right slightly. Once they smack into
something and you keep going, most likely they will lose you. If not,
repeat the trick. If done correctly, press R2 + L2 to look
behind you to see the cops crash into the object. Practice is required for
this trick. Also enable the "Invincibility" cheat to make it
easier.
Hint:
Avoid roadblocks: To get past a police roadblock, just drive on the sidewalk.
Hint:
Take a ride mode: Getting out of wreck: If you total your car in take a ride mode, you can get out of
it if there are no cops in pursuit.
Hint:
Take a ride mode: More cars : As you steal and use various cars throughout the game, they
will be unlocked in the Take A Ride mode. This includes fire trucks,
buses, police cars, etc.
Hint:
Take a ride mode: Secret car: Unlock the secret car in any level. When the "You have
unlocked the secret car" message appears, pause game play and exit.
At the main menu, enter the game options, select "Save
settings", and save a new file for the secret car. Whenever you start
the game, remember to load the saved settings. Note: When ever you save a
car, make sure there is a separate file for each car. The secret car is a
black and yellow striped sports car.
Hint:
Checkpoint mode: In checkpoint mode, you can speed, run red lights, and do
anything that would normally get you arrested, without having to worry
about cops chasing you. You cannot get out of your car and steal another
one. The only way you can lose in checkpoint nide is to wreck your car.
Hint:
Avoid donuts: Do not press Circle unless you are on a straight-away.
If you turn with holding Circle, you will do a donut.
Hint:
Bootleg move: When a cop is pushing you sideways through grassy terrain, hold
Circle button to do a 180 and face in the opposite direction. You
can ditch the cop. This works very well in Havana.
Hint:
Get a lot of air: When you are being chased by the police and you hit any kind of
jump, look behind you. Wait directly on top of the police car's shadow.
When he lands on you, he will go flying and you will be shuffled to the
side. You can do the same trick onto parked cars, but you have to bail out
of your car or else you will just hit them.
Hint:
Cop destroys your car while you are outside: Enable the "Invincibility" cheat, and get chased by a
cop until they make a road block. Do not hit any cop cars in the road
block. Destroy the cop car that was chasing you earlier. Your map will
flash white, meaning you are not being chased any more. Go up to one of
the cop cars in the road block and tap it lightly, then immediately get
out of your car. The cop will keep on hitting the car you were in, even
though you exited. This may not always work, but may be repeated as many
times as needed.
Sometimes the police car will
chase you everywhere instead of focusing on your car.
Hint:
Scared police: Note: This trick works best in Chicago. Choose any car, with no
cheats enabled. After getting chased by the cops, and once their cars are
dead, get out of the car and walk towards the roadblock (if available)
before the other cops see you. All of the police will be out of their
cars, and will be kneeling down pointing their guns. Walk past the row of
cops and look behind you to see that they are now pointing their guns
straight at you. If you get too close, they will run away.
Hint:
Electric car: The electric car is blue with a buckskin convertible top.
Hint:
No moving cars: Collect almost every car that can be chosen at the car
selection screen. Find a place to put these cars, such as the police
station in Rio and the garage in Vegas. When the cars are in a safe place,
do not go too far or they will disappear. Once you have collected most of
the cars, all of the cars that were driving in the streets will be gone.
Also, if you steal a police car, no police will drive in the streets. If
you want the cars back, just walk or drive far away from the stolen cars.
Hint:
Vibrating car: Crash a car into a building or object. Then get into another
car, hold Brake and look at the car you just crashed (at a certain
spot). If done correctly, the car will start to vibrate.
Hint:
Rolling hub caps: Drive fast and take a sharp turn while braking. You may see a
hub cap fall off and start rolling.
Hint:
Control first person view: When using a Dual Analog controller in analog mode, you can use
it to look up and down while out of your car in first person view.
Hint:
Matrix-type replay: Select any mode and fly off any ramp or object before the
"Out Of Tape" message at the bottom of the screen. Select
"End mission" and then go to "Camera Director". Go to
the scene where you jumped off and pause it in mid-air. Choose the
"Rotate camera" option and rotate the camera. Rotate it slightly
horizontally then play the scene for one second. Keep doing that until you
hit the ground. Rewind to the beginning and watch your Matrix-type
scene.
Hint:
Great replays: Enable the "Invincibility" cheat. Go to survival mode
and your car will immediately be attacked by the police. This ends when
you are flipped on your back or side, creating great replays to watch
again.
Glitch:
Stuck camera: Hold L2 or R2 and press Select while in
the third person view. Then the camera will get "stuck sideways"
when you release L2 or R2.
Glitch:
Use secret cars in multi-player mode: Unlock the Chicago secret car and save it to a settings file.
After it has been unlocked, go to take a ride mode and have the secret car
selected in the picture. However, do not use it -- press Triangle
to go back to the main menu and go to multi-player mode. If done
correctly, you should be able to press "Previous" and find the
secret car. Note: Once in the game, the car will appear glitched.
Glitch:
Overlapping car sounds: In take a ride mode , get out of the car you start with and get
into any other car. As soon as you get in, quickly hold Circle to
burnout. If done correctly, you will burnout and hear the car starting at
the same time.

will shatter. Immediately hit reverse and the person will be sitting in
mid air with no chair. This must be done very slowly or the person will
run away.
Glitch:
Drown on land: Go up to a chair that is facing a building. Press Triangle
once to sit and slide, then press Triangle again to slide and stand
up. You will now go inside the building. If you walk around enough, a
message will appear stating that you drowned and the game will restart.
Glitch:
Shadow: Look closely while Tanner in running. His shadow is holding two
guns, but Tanner is not holding anything at all.
Glitch:
Flashing shadow: Get out of your car and stand still. If you look closely, you
can see Tanner's shadow start to flash. If this does not happen, try
turning and you will eventually see his shadow flashing.
Glitch:
Disappearing hubcaps: When you get into a car, one or more of the hubcaps may
disappear. Once you get out of it, they will reappear.
Glitch:
Police car stops: Follow a police car and about a minute later, it may pullover
to the side or it may not drive at all, creating a traffic jam. You cannot
steal it and if you break the law, the cop will go after you. This will
not always work.
Glitch:
Turn parked police car 90 degrees: To get a police car to turn a 90 degree angle when he is
parked, tailgate him until he finally stops and start honking your horn.
The cars behind, will also start to honk. Keep doing this until he turns
90 degrees.
Glitch:
Drive through overpass: Get to a location where the overpass joins to the ground. Go
underneath the overpass at that spot and drive straight for the connecting
point. It will appear as if your car will get stuck or crushed. However,
if you keep driving your car will go through the overpass and you can keep
going. This can be useful as a shortcut during missions.
Glitch:
Drive through train: Get a fast car and go to the place where you played the mission
with the train. You will see two locomotives. Try to hit one of the
locomotives with your car. One locomotive will push you all the way back
and your car will get a lot of damage. The other locomotive will not seem
to be solid when you hit it. It will appear as if you are still going with
your car, but you are not moving, except for your wheels which will still
be turning. When you try to brake, you will need some time before you
stop.
Glitch:
Walk through cars: Get out of your car. Go up to another car and try to steal it.
Do not stop the car. Immediately when it begins to pass you, and making
sure the car does not stop, try to steal it from the side. If done
correctly, you will go through it. Note: This only works some of the time.
Glitch:
Fixed front end: Enable the "Invincibility" cheat, drive at full
speed, and run head on into another vehicle. Hit this vehicle repeatedly,
completely destroying it. Normally you would not be able to drive a
vehicle in this condition, but the invincibility cheat now allows you to
do so. Get out of your vehicle, enter the destroyed vehicle, and start to
drive. The instant you hit another object, it will snap back to its
original mint condition.
Glitch:
Drive through buildings: Select any level with a hill. Drive to the hill. Aim your car
towards a building immediately before you jump the hill. Then, while you
are in the air, jump out of your car by pressing Triangle + Up.
Watch your car go flying through the building or get stuck halfway.
Glitch:

the recently destroyed chair was located and press Triangle. Tanner
will sit on the chair even though it is not there.

Glitch:

chair that was closest to a wall, then stand up again. Eventually, Tanner
will step forward through the wall and you will be inside the building.
Rio is the easiest city to do this in.

you reach a draw bridge. If it is up wait, until it starts going down.
When it is half way down drive at full speed over it. Press Triangle
+ Up to get out of the car while it is in the air. Watch the car as
it goes down -- it will appear as if it fell through the ground. Note:
Sometimes it really does fall through the ground. All of the game's ending
boundaries will also glitch, so cars will appear to just fall out of
nowhere seem to disappear into the street.
Glitch:
Chicago: Floating character: Play the Chicago level and go directly to the drawbridge. It
should be only a quarter way up. Go over it. When you are in the middle of
the bridge, turn and get out of your car. It should keep going and then
turn over. Turn around and start walking up the bridge. When you start
sliding down, press Triangle and you will be floating while the
bridge goes up. You will then fall down but your car will be fine
Glitch:

southwest side and head into the stadium. Get out of the car and go up the
ramp, similar to what is done when getting the secret car. Stop when you
get near the top. Then, turn to your right and run into the side of the
ramp. If done correctly, your character should go through the side and run
out into the crowd. He can walk around on the peoples' heads.
This glitch can be done, even
if the secret car is not on the pitcher's mound. Simply go up the stairs
and you can go through the block to your left (while facing stairs at the
