knock the pillion passengers off first on the bikes, then when the cars are attacking aim for the rear quarter panel i.e. where the petrol cap is and the cars explode.

>^^^ I've not been on San Andreas since last Tuesday because of that very mission.
>Amazing how one (well maybe two) mission can spoil a game.

I thought it was going to get to me as well, but just kept having a go whenever I was near by. Good job you don't get killed!

There are *three* similar missions in the game! All of them suck!!

Other than those it's the best game of its type I've played.... not that I've played many violent games.

I'll still crack on with a few bits. Has anyone gotten further than the second bike tournament? I'm hoping for some more of the trials riding, that was a lot of fun. And will go for 100% territory, can't stand people shooting at me for no good reason.

My bloke is a lard **** at the moment, running around in his pants, sporting a mohican and bling jewelry.

I have just gotten to the second island, done a couple of missions.

Its like I have been picked up and dumped in the setting of little house on the prairie (spelling is bad i know). the only thing that upsets me with this place is it takes a whole day to get from one side to the other.

Otherwise its all good, was winning my first car race with wu zi su or something close, wasnt going fast enough for the jump over the house and fubared my car

long walk back lol.

I was on this for a couple of times, when you mod your low rider dont bother with hydrolics, i found this helped with the handling of the car.

I won that race 3rd or 4th time in without having to use a single nitrous...

Just watch the circle area very carefully and press the buttons as they enter the circle, I found I was pre-empting them and getting ahead of myself and kept failing. Then when I tried it by just tapping the buttons when they appeared in the circle I won by miles.

Another tip for races. Don't go too fast, the others slow for you and once you're in front don't often overtake.

What an absolute hoot I had last night. Had to steal a combine harvester for a bloke who grows the 'erb. The video sequence at the start of the level is hilarious with Officer Tenpenny getting mullered on a bong

Spent a few hours on this yesterday after finding out I didn't need to do that 'Z' mission I was stuck on, (cheers super_si)

Just checked the progress made: 44.92%.
I was only supposed to be taking my time with this game so I did'nt complete it too soon.

I was stuck on this mission but just left it now and carried on with the other missions.
Why is it that the anologue sticks are a pain in the **** when using manual target on any gun, Youd have thought sony could have made decent sticks to go with a good pad.

It's not anywhere near as bad as Driv3r but the aiming is still annoying. I'm stuck on that mission too couldn't even get to under a minute left in about 10 tries

Problem is all console FPS aren't the same without keyboard & mouse, however I can't comment on the Xbox as never played even Halo/2.

The radar is key in the 'Z' mission, you can see the groups coming and target them. The height of the gun can be kept constant for the majority of the mission as well. You can save fuel in 'Supply Lines' by not going flat out all the time.
