Rockstar Games logos
There are twelve Rockstar Games logos hidden throughout
each level in the game.
Atlanta: When you get out of the garage immediately turn to the
right. You will see a glass. Crash through to find the logo.
Atlanta: Drive to the bottom of the map. Look for a building with
a huge globe. There is a logo that reads "Nitro Cola".
A logo is located directly under that.
Atlanta: Drive to the graveyard in the south of the map (near
the highway). There is a logo at the east part of the building
there.
Atlanta: Follow the highway until you reach a place with some
construction work. Drive off the highway (to your right side if
driving north), and look for a tank station. Follow the building
around and you will se a ramp/road going up. Get some speed, fly
over, and you will land on the roof of building. The logo should
be in front of you.
Atlanta: Follow the highway until you se a building with a yellow
sign on top that reads "DJ Smalls". Across the road
is a small parking area where you can see a sign on another building
that reads "Spike". Left of that building is a basketball
court and a logo.
Atlanta: Follow the building where you garage is located. Drive
through the skeleton's mouth and you will find a logo.
Atlanta: When you are at the shipping station, immediately take
a left turn. Keep going down until you find a park. There will
be a ramp-like object. Do not jump it. Just go on it and keep
going for a little bit. You will then be on the other side of
it, where the logo is located.
San Diego: Find the aircraft carrier and locate the ramp to jump
onto the flight deck. One logo can be found here, on the ramp.
San Diego: There is a logo behind the baseball stadium. Follow
the highway to the back of the stadium.. You will then se a small
ramp. Drive up to find the logo.
San Diego: There is also a logo at the top deck of the aircraft carrier.
San Diego: Drive to the beach at the top left of the map. Follow
the beach until you see a small tunnel.. There is a logo in there.
San Diego: At the lower left of the map (near the aircraft carrier),
follow the coastline. There is no road near by. Follow the large
building, and you will find a little road that leads up to a roof.
Turn left and you will see the logo.
San Diego: Almost at the lower right corner at the map, there
is a huge parking garage. When you are on the streets, drive to
the bottom left corner of the building. Drive up the ramp, turn
left, and drive through the windows to find another logo.
San Diego: To the far left of the map at the rollercoaster, drive
up the ramp that is located at the north of the rollercoaster.
Ride to find the logo.
Easy money
In a tournament race, do not finish the last race in
first place, but in second or third place. Note: Second place
is worth more money. Do this as many times as desired for fast
money.
Roar special move
This move is unlocked in career mode, and is available
to muscle cars and choppers. The Roar meter is charged through
successful drifting. When the special move meter is fully charged,
Roar can be activated immediately or saved for later use. When
activated by clicking [Left Analog-stick], Roar sends out
an engine rev so loud that traffic will do anything it can to
get out of the way.
Weave through traffic
When racing, turn left or right and press [B].
Your car will go on its side and can weave through traffic.
Easy boost
Get on an opponent's tail until the meter fills up
on the right side of the screen then press [Nitrous].
Burnout boost
Hold [Hand Brake] and [Gas] when getting
ready for the race. After the screen focuses on your car, release
[Hand Brake]. If done correctly, when it is time to go the meter on the right will fill up.
Faster street bike acceleration
With any street motorcycle, use weight control and
hold back to wheelie. You will accelerate much faster, but will
only be maxed at about 175 mph. Once you go down you will go slower,
and then reach 200+ mph.
Pedestrians look at your car
Drive up to a pedestrian (be careful not to run them
over). Wait a little while. They will start to admire your car.
Some will even go down on their knees to look at your rims. Others
will go around the whole car to look at the entire thing.
