So you've finished the game

For those of you who have been playing the GTA series every since the original GTA (birds eye view mode :) ) I'm sure you've all played Grand Theft Auto 4 and played it compulsively until your reached the end.

The only thing is now your done and you finished most of the side missions your running around trying to find fun things to do so here is a list of things you can do to make the most of the GTA 4 environment. I've been playing gta iv xbox and pc its great on both:)


let the fun begin :)

Stunt - complete all the bike stunts around the city there is around 50 from what I remember.

Fire Hydrant- Blow the top off a fire hydrant then jump on your bike and ride that wave sky high:)

911 - Call the cops and then rush around punching as many people as you can when the cops arrive they will see people attacking you and promptly arrested those mean mean people. You can also call the fire brigade and ambulance.

Fire Department - jump in a firetruck and give those dirty homeless a good spraying.

Car Domino's - Line up a whole bunch of cars then fire off a rocket or grenade to see a domino explosion effect, you may have to make sure you've damaged the cars enough.

Army Chopper - Visit the airport and grab the army helicopter with the minigun and terrorize the island.

Airport Madness - Get a full wanted rating and then head to the airport with a bike and run circles around the cops its especially fun to place yourself in the middle of the back wheels of a moving airplane and watch the cops try to get to you cause nothing stops a giant boeing 747 , those cops get squished and thrown around all over the place.

Friendly Fire - play a lan game with friendly fire off and hit each other with those rockets and watch yourself fly like a birdie.

Stripathon - go the strip club and get as many lap dancers into the private room as possible ( this can get quite tricky to get the dancers to ask you for a private dance but ppl have been known to get 2 or even up to 3 dancers into one room)

Cinematic Challenge - grab a fast car or a strong vehicle switch on cinematic camera mode and see how long you can last while the cops are after you it can be quite entertaining in this camera mode.

Pool throw - start a pool game then get out and just pelt those balls at your opponents head , no one messes with nico bellic

Scream Wheel - grab a car that's full of passengers and take them for the ride of there life , you wont even need the radio on cause they provide enough noise through screaming and oh my god'ss.

Really Rough S*XX - Go find your local hooker and get her into your car, then use your mad driving skills to get the car to flip over and then do the dirty business upside down.

Burnouts - hold the forward and backwards keys at the same time and see that smoke go ( not much smoke really) but you can do donuts by using the directional keys which is quite fun.

Bike simulator - grab a bike, then switch into first person view and try and drive at high speeds without crashing ( can be quite tricky).

Fastest Car - Near the old mansion on alderny island , you will find one of the fastest cars in the game the Sultan RS

Falling Boat - use the boat cheat code to drop a speed boat on unsuspecting people. I may add a gta 4 cheats page if there isn't already one

No hands - grab your sniper rifle or any other gun if your accurate and shoot the driver of a car straight in the head, sometimes he will come to a stop other times he will keep driving all over the place fun to watch.

Fast lane - grab a bike and find the longest road you can find then fly down it without crashing.

Drunken Bowling - go get drunk at he bar then hit the bowling centre its tricky stuff that 10 pwin boolin.

Down with the Burgers - head towards a burger place or cluckin bell grab a car and barricade the door jump over the car into the restaurant and cause havoc and see how long you can withstand the cops, as long as the car blocking the door stays in tack it could last forever but it usually gets blown up eventually.

Look Ma no tires - blow up all the tires on your car jump in , get a wanted level and see how long you last.

Choppy - use the chopper blades to rip people to bits.

Watch me die - ofcourse another great fun part of GTA 4 is the video editor which you can use to create some pretty funny dying sequences and add music , effects and all that other swish stuff.

Hit that boat - find a ramp near the water and drive your bike off it and try and hit a boat thats driving by. extremely tricky to do:P

Rollercoaster Fun - Head over to the fun park on Firefly island grab a nice smallish fast car and wizz around the roller coaster track.

Pig Ride - Grab a helicopter and get a decent wanted level , land your helicopter and try and take off as the cops try and drag you out , now fly off with the cops clinging onto your chopper, and belt them around the skyscrapers.

Hooker Free or Not - Go pick up an old fashioned hooker off the streets in your car, find somewhere quiet to park your car and send the kids out of the room, then you can choose whether or not to let her keep the money you just paid her.

Carpark Frenzy - Get a high wanted level and then head to a crowded car park and wait for the explosion. I hear there's a crowded car park in alderney island

Fly a Friend - Great fun on multiplayer is to jump in a helicopter with a friend then try and drop him off on unreachable buildings, or even drop him on the top of the statue of liberty.

Move Aside - I'm sure you probably have tried it but get a cop car or fire truck and put the sirens on and everyone will clear a path for you on the road.

Probably the most fun you can have it playing the multiplayer with a bunch of friends so lots of stuff to try out there also the GTA 4 engine and physics are quite well done so testing all the physics out can be great fun.

I also hope none of these idea's offended anyone it is GTA after all and only a game have fun:) and anyone with fun things that aren't on the list dont be afraid to comment and let me know as i'm still addicted to that game and looking for things to do. and also remember GTA 1 is freeware so you can download and play for free if you miss the classic:).

yh. i have most fun by getting a sanchez and going to the skate park and make up the craziest stunts i can, also by going int the many enterable buildings and sniping through the windows(they arent bulletproof like i thought) or even get a boat, (the mini yacht with indoor area and windows) and park next to shore(beach is the best) and stand IN the boat, then shoot pedestrians throught the windows, when cops come shoot them , because the windows are quite small they find it hard to shoot you, while you you kill them. but it is really amusing when they hit you because theres a big blood splatter and bullet hole in the windows around you lol.

Another crazy thing to do is to go around and hit Cabs and Taxis with a baseball bat. Let them get out of the car and watch all of them chase you! You can get up to about 10-12 guys after you or even more! If you feel like creating a riot. Go into the crowd of cranky taxi men and hit a few with your bat! The'll try to punch you but mostly hitting the cab drivers arive them! This can result in fights and is theres cops around they''l arrest those crzy people! HAHAHA! Have fun!

hey JJ, most ppl say it takes more than 100 hours to complete every single thing in gta 4 , including all main missions, side missions, and other fun things along the way:) its a great game

some interesting things to try.

just walk into people on a busy street. Eventually one will get mad and try to fight you. duck down and walk around, letting him follow you and missing you because you're ducked down) and try standing in front of innocent bystanders. You can get him to puch someone else who will fight him until the cops come to arrest him.

When in the mission "deconstruction for beginners" get in the car and turn off the radio. Now just drive around smashing things and people. Your passenger will not get out of the car but will continue to bitch at you because of your driving.

There is a bridge with a cable car next to it. right underneath where that cable car crosses the river is a tugboat. climb on top of it and you can shoot anyone on both sides in safety. on one side you have a plethora of pedestrians trying to enjoy the park, on the other side an underpass of the highway. use your rocket launcher and ak-47 and the police level will eventually rise enough that you get bombarded with lovely police vehicles including some that have super cops that take quite a few bullets and can travel at superhuman speeds.

there is a building in the middle of one of the sides of central park that is the best spot for an ambush. take a chopper there and blast away from all sides. there are plenty of nooks and crannies and peaks to have fun with. they will send choppers for you and if you shoot them down just right, they will fall right near you and some of the passengers will survive so that you can take them out. It seems that eventually the city's budget runs out of choppers and you have a free for all on the rooftop. lots of nice clear low level shooting.

expectus  says:

You can record sequences in gta 4, i'm not sure u can do it whenever u want but u can record your death and quite a bit of time before your death. So it gives you a chance to do stunts and fun stuff record, make it into a video , edit stuff add music all that stuff

how do u get to the other city without getin the cops on u

expectus profile image

expectus  says:
4 months ago

hey, if you get a wanted level as soon as you go to another city, it just means your technically not meant to go there yet until you've finished the story missions on the first islands. Otherwise its some unknown glitch maybe not sure

GTA 4 IS AWSOME  says:
4 months ago

ok thanks another question is how do u use the video editor iv been playin this game for a while now and have not figured out what the video editor is

GTA4 IS AWSOME  says:
4 months ago

plz answer me

expectus profile image

expectus  says:
4 months ago

hah yeaa the video editor is basically so you can edit and play around with video you record in gta 4, like if you die in a firey explosion and go flying into the air sometimes it asks you if you would like to record the footage.

This footage gets saved and then you can use the video editor to play around and make video's upload them to youtube. You can reach the video editor through your cell phone in the game and i think it may be in the menu. its fun to use u can add nice transitions from clips and music:)

GTA4 IS AWSOME  says:

I like the way you guys think. Thanks for all the tips. With a game so massive, and beautiful as GTA4 I have to admit to feeling a vague sense of mourning when I beat the game. I've beaten most of the side quests, and have even managed to keep all my relationships in tact. You've helped answer tha big question...what now?

I'm no programmer, infact i'm pretty computer illiterate, so i dont know if this is a dumb question or not, but is there a way for players to mod new quests? or take some of those empty buildings and make them into drug dealer nests, maybe with a cash prize? i hear they made a bank robbing mod, so i'm eager to try that out.

last thing i'm gonna say is this. God! when are these people going to make liberty city into one large mmo style server? think of the endless fun that would be!

expectus  says:

yea it is an awesome game and a shame when it comes to an end, that mod for gta 4 about the biker gangs looked really awesome came out ages ago i should really get it .

there is more gta 4 stuff on www.thegtaplace.com/ mods , skins things like that. and yeaa a gta mmo must be close to reality especially with how well multiplayer worked in gta 4 so much fun shooting each other with rockets :)

expectus  says:

gtamadness  says:

Try this... but first

I miss some of the things in the old gta's

i notice in gta 4, when you shoot at a car, the drivers usually get out a run away, in all the old gta games, they sped off in thier car, so i used to corner a random car against a wall (so they cant go anywhere), get out while they cant move and shoot both of thier back tyres (just the back tyres), then reverse your car and let them out, just watch them try to speed off, its halarious!

if you pop all thier tyres, they cant build up alot of speed so they usually just spin in circles, but if you take out thier back tyres only, they still have grip on the front to get speed, and the back of the car swings out of control sending them into everything in thier path lol

expectus  says:

hehe nice tip I will give that a try thanks:)

The best way to die by far is to find a low wall at the top of a high area, preferably with a long straight road leading to it... then, as any normal person would, drive straight towards the wall at high speed and launch yourself out of the windscreen and do that swan dive you always wanted to do but never dared, not tried it but sure it would work with motorbikes too... probable better. Happy flying

how do you get to the other side of the city on the left

without having the cops after you cause every time i try to cross the bridges i always get 6 police stars

and do you need to do missions to get to the other side or not

cause i only got 8 missions done 9.33% done and i can't get past any more missions it's tooo hard

expectus profile image

expectus  says:
6 weeks ago

hey jack , yeaa you have to do more of the main story missions to unlock more of the islands. that way you can go over without being instantly wanted

dezzy1427  says:

Another interesting thing to do is get a helicopter and fly to the statue of liberty and try and jump out of the helicopter onto the very last landing that you can't reach by walking and if you do it right and survive one of the doors you can just walk through, even though it looks like you can't. You'll be in this room with a ladder. Climb up the ladder and at the top there is this huge beating heart.
