Taht one was hard, but still fun and doable. I found the powders mission to be kind of aggrivating to the point that it makes you yell and throw the controller, and then go and cry because you suck, and then you cry more, b/c you realize that you are crying about a video game.

I remeber trying that, and it didn't really work.

It took me a few times to get the tyres without either shooting the guy in the head or missing his car completely, but even one dead tyre is enough to win you the race easily.

Taht was one area of the game, that I never like to cheat in. There was something in me that wanted to be able to beat the fat kid without any help.

I didn't consider that cheating, it was playing within the rules of the game. That and I couldn't possibly finish that mission without doing it. Yet I can easily win all of those street races from the car-yard you can purchase.

I agree. Unless you activate some kind of cheat code it's not cheating.

Have any of you guys managed to steal a tank? I'm not talking about the mission in which you steal a tank, I'm talking about getting 6 stars and taking one of the tanks that inevitably show up. I've managed to get one and store it in one of my garages.

I grabbed one from the barracks. And drove it all through town blowing up police. Then my tank caught on fire.
But I escaped and bribed my way back down to 0 stars. Hooray!

Then I stole another tank and got to 6 stars, but I started bribing them down sooner and managed to get the tank safely back in my garage and all wanted stars gone.

North of the airport on the second half of the city. Actually it is supposed to be an airbase, but all the military guys there are wearing green. You need to collect 90 or 100 packages for the tank to appear there though (too tired to check the exact amount at the moment).

Looks like I'd better get going on those hidden packages then. I've only bothered to pick up half a dozen or so.

It's great when you are able to get the helicopter. Shooting rockets and stuff at all the people.

The tank is cool, but if you slow down, regular police can run up and arrest your a**.

Another benefit of grabbing multiple packages.
Its in the airbase. While I'm ont he topic, if you walk into the airbase the soldiers there will start shooting at you. If you walk into the airbase in a police uniform, the soldiers there will ignore you - at least until you steal a military vehicle.

Yes, it was much more rewarding than using a code, or getting it from the barracks

It's another part of the game that actually is pretty rewarding. It's oddly fun just driving around with the map and looking for each one. Kinda reminds me of being in the arcade at a cheap pizza parlor, adn trying to get as many tickets as you can, so you can get their crappy toys whne your parents stop forking over cash, and tell you its time to go.

Not if you shoot out of the side door with drive by mode, when they run up to the door. that really shows em who they're dealing with. Hahahahaha!!!!

Regarding the helicopter, yes it exists, adn yes it rules. It is probably the best way to relieve stress in the game. It is the fastest vehicle, and the coolest by far. You can shoot your turret guns, and you rockets atr the same time. It also makes vigilante mode freeeeekin awesome! I'd reccomend that you get searching for those hidden packages.

It doesn't give you as much "bragging rights" as completing the mission without shooting his tyres would, but it is much better than outright cheat codes to pass the mission. Thats good enough for me.
