Hint: Escaping car pursuits:
When you are supposed to flee from other cars shooting at you, look for big open spaces like the Staples Center parking lot and drive through them. The people chasing you will stay on the road and go all the way around, giving you a good chance to escape.
MaelstromDragon1.

To escape easily while in pursuit, drive to the nearest highway. Try to get a good lead from the enemies before you do this. Drive up the branch of the highway, and keep straight. Do not leave the highway. Enemies are not able to get on the highway when you do this. They stick to the main road. Keep straight and eventually you will gain your points and end the mission.
Atech2008.

When trying to escape from an enemy in a Rush mission, take out the cars that are chasing you and they will not follow. This takes about thirty seconds.
Kid49er89.

To escape a chase, find a parking lot or a park and go into the middle of it. Once there, enable the "bullet time" mode and shoot out the tires of your opponents car. For a quick escape, wait until they turn around and shoot their licensee plate to blow them up.
DAN BIKOS.

When you start, drive normally until the car chasing you is almost bumper to bumper but next to you. Then, stop as soon as it seems it is past your back wheels. Go into first person view in the car. Aim for the tires and blow them out. When your ''bullet time'' runs out, start aiming at the back of the car or shoot the engine. When the car seems completely on fire, make your getaway.
SVB1115.

On a mission where you have to get away from a certain person, turn your car around and start shooting at the person who is chasing you. If you blow them up, they cannot chase you anymore Note: Use precision aim to shoot out their tires. Note: This will not work for all getaway missions.
Feveball.

When you are being chased by fast cars, go on a straight away and floor it. When you get reasonably far away, press the Left Analog-stick Left and press Circle. This should turn you around. Then, press Square and drive in reverse. By now the cars should be close to you. Shoot the cars in any way desired. When you are done shooting them, turn around again and go forward. Run away to complete the mission.

When you are at a mission where you have to outrun someone (police, thugs, etc.), the best thing to do is to play driving upgrade missions until you learn how to drive on two wheels. Then, replay your mission. Lead the people to the freeway and when they follow you, use the two wheel trick to flip the railing and drive off. Note: This trick may cause you to fail if you have been shot up too much, and there is a possibility that you may get stuck upside down.
Blake8843.

Hint-Blow up cars easily:
Drive up behind a car and hold R1 to go into "bullet time". Then, aim at the license plate and fire. Most of the time it will take a single shot. For cargo trucks, aim under the passenger side and slightly to the back and fire. This makes stopping street racers and other people easy.
Kastro187420.

To explode a car in one hit, go into aim mode and wait until your aiming crosshair appears. Then, shoot when it turns red. If it does not turn red, then just shoot around the license plate until the car explodes.
chris bob.

To blow up vehicles up in one shot aim at the following locations. For cars, aim at the back at license plate. For pickup trucks, aim at either side behind the doors. For trucks, aim for the gas tank behind both doors.
Ryan Kemper.

Hint: Leap frog cars:
When you are in your Lamborgini, boost directly behind a Hummer. You will go under him while he goes up ino the air.
David Byars.

Hint: Get a car on the other side of the highway:
Go onto any highway. Find a car that is near to any side of the highway and smash it against the side. It is possible to hit a car off the edge of a highway.
Gunner.

Hint: Big jumps:
Go to Venice and go on Dell street. There are some huge jumps here.
billy coffield.

Hint: Brake boost:
While driving some of the civilian cars you can press Circle and it will give you a boost. However, do not hold it too long or it may cause your car to spin out.
Mdizzle725.

Hint: Stop street racers:
While following a speeding car or truck, aim directly beneath the back bumper so that your bullet hits the bottom of the car. Do this repeatedly and the car will explode. Note: Do not do this if you are trying to get a Good Cop rating.
LaurieandJosh1.

Hint: Stop carjackings:
When your enemy is escaping by stealing a getaway car, kick them when they are pulling out the victim to stop them.
MaelstromDragon1.

Hint: Slide across hoods:
To do this, you must be running at a medium speed (if running at full speed, Nick will jump over the car). Run until your are right next to the car then press Jump. Nick will slide across the hood. This works on any vehicle.
Spank ..

Hint: Getting enemies to surrender:
When you are doing a crime patrol involving people with guns, fire a warning shot (R2 + R1) and slowly walk up to them. If they are still holding their gun, either walk up to them and wait until they shoot you, or do a neutralized shot.
SVB1115.

Hint: 360 degree spin in car:
Get some speed in a car. When you think you have enough speed, start to turn left or right then continuously tap Circle until you stop. You should have then spun all the way around.
DALLAS727.

Hint: Wheelie:
To perform a wheelie, use the Rapid Spin maneuver then hold X. You should perform the wheelie. Note: This may require a few attempts, and works best in the '03 Ferrari Sports Car (yellow).
Fjc1291.

Hint: Drive around impound lot:
In the impound lot where you can choose from the four cars you unlock, honk the horn a few times, then go in reverse before you hit the gas and you can around the lot.
EgoKiller and DareDevil.

Hint: Drive automatically:
When you are on a mission where you need to drive on the world map, do not press any buttons. Nick will start driving like the other cars until you take over.
Kovu13.

Hint: Bashing through walls:
There is a way to bash through the walls that crumble when you attack them. Simply drive at them at a very high speed so that your car drives straight through before the crumbling of the wall is over. This is useful when being chased by gangsters, cops, etc., as they cannot get through.
jm009c0169.

Hint: Flying cars:
Flip a car by a bridge and it will fly into the air and give you a score for highest air, etc.
Dioxide child.

Hint: Big air:
Get a very fast car and drive to the four-way intersection of I-110 and I-10 (the yellow roads). By any means, get your car directly below that intersection. The easiest way to do is to pop your car on two wheels and hit the guardrail. Once you are at the bottom, drive to the brown building that is standing by itself. Peel out on the west corner. There should be a low wall with windows located here. Peel out until your car pops up. When it pops up, accelerate. This should send your car hurling above the city. You can also try to exit your car in mid-air to make Nick freefall.
Mike Espinosa.

Hint: Spotting illegal drugs:
To avoid wasting time frisking innocents, look for people that walk differently.
Freddy4404.

Frisk people who do not look at you when they walk past.
Tortoise.

Hint: More damage:
When an opponent is dazed, you can hit them hard into the wall with a finisher to do even more damage.
MaelstromDragon1.

Hint: Deadly knife throw:
In some situations when a enemy drops a knife, you can pick it and throw it. If thrown correctly, it will impale their forehead, killing them.
MaelstromDragon1.

Hint: Impale enemies:
Use the following trick to impale someone with a blade, syringe, etc. First, get your opponents health down to the point where it is flashing. Then, pick up a melee weapon that can impale someone and throw it directly at them. Look at your opponent, and they will have a melee weapon stuck in there head.
Ryan Richmond.

Hint: Reverse attack:
Use the Technique forward switchblade against an enemy following you. Then hold Square and attack the car following you. You can also hit the wheels while driving backwards.
Migs.

Hint: Restore health:
Learn where the impound garages are located. When you get low on health, just visit the garage. You will not only get a fresh car, your health will be full again.
John Beruit.

Hint: Easy arrests:
When in a police car, press Right to turn on the lights. Drive to get some speed, but do not go too fast. Press L1 to jump out of the care and the lights will stay on . Perps who are guilty will sometimes surrender when they see the lights and hear the siren.
3tweety8.

Hint: Easy knock out:
When chasing an opponent, shoot them with a weak gun a few times until they are almost dead. Put away your guns and fight when you catch up to them. This makes it easier to defeat an enemy.
akibboy.

Hint: Easy arrests:
Go on Highway 10 West all the way to the end where you see the road block. After that, turn right on Sunset Blvd. Park your car anywhere and walk around the area with the gas station. When a street crime, drug dealer suspect, or mugging crimes appear, flash your badge at them. They should immediately surrender without a fight.
Steven Schmitz.

Hint: Increasing Cop rank:

Lilmjordan23.

NitinParikh.

GDOG3I.

To increase your Good or Bad Cop rank easily, replay a stealth mission and choose your attack accordingly.
Iggypoo777.

To increase your Good Cop rank, walk on any street near from somebody. If they look at you, it means that they are clean for drugs or weapons. If they do not look, they have illegal things like guns or drugs. Arrest them and you will hear a sound of good cop. Note: Do not try this with people who are talking by a phone.
Marvin I..

There is a street where almost all of the people you arrest will either be carrying drugs or weapons. To get there, take Highway 10 east or until you get to where Highway 10 and Highway 405 cross over. It will be near the east side of the map. Take Highway 405 south. When you merge with Highway 405, take the very first road off Highway 405. It will be backwards, but it should lead to National Blvd. When you get off Highway 405, you should turn left. After you pass Sawtelle Blvd., go down until you are about slightly halfway past Sawtelle Blvd. Get out of your car and frisk someone. They should have drugs or weapons.
James Watson-Howatt and Matt Watson-Howatt.

Ben Cuhel.

When someone is defeated, go near them then hold R2 and press Circle. This will make Nick or Snoop kick the person and slap handcuffs on them. This increases your Cop Rank and your Good/Bad Cop status.
JUSMONEY1.

If you are in Venice, immediately start driving towards the apartments by the ocean (refer to the map). These streets are somewhat small, so they may be easy to miss. Drive around and you will find a street called Dudley. Everybody there is carrying drugs or weapons. Note: Dudley is by Ozone.
Jeff Rinchiuso.

Everyone along Ocean View in Venice, at the far southwest on the map, is carrying drugs or weapons. You can go up each street along Ocean View up to one block and everyone there will have something illegal on them. Also, armed muggers do not fight back on those streets.

jeffery.

Choose "Bonus Cruising" in Hancock Park. On either side of Highland Blvd., near the hospital, stand in the area where the chain link fence (not any other type of fence) is located. Wait for anyone to walk within or away from the area of the fence. When you frisk them, they will always either be "packing heat or holding dope". Remember, they must be past the plane of the chain link fence on the sidewalk for this to work.
Tadpolehere4u4.

If you want to earn good cop points quickly, go to a street called Rose Ave. in Venice. All of the people walking on that street are usually either carrying drugs or guns. Simply walk up to anyone on that street and frisk them to bust them. Note: Rose Ave. is the street by the beach and is directly on the "N" in the title "Venice" on the map. You can look up the map from the start menu.
Tadpolehere4u4.

Matija Matek.

Get out of your vehicle and shoot it in the back. You will nowhave a reckless driving and killing rating; get many bad cop ratings; or get killed very easily and loose about two shields.
Mimoza Rredhi.

Hint: Getting through traffic:
Use the siren in Nick's car to get the other drivers to pull over to the right. This will help you get through town faster on all missions. Note: Depending on how fast you are going, the cars may not have enough time to pull over; some weaving in and out is still needed.
John Maze.

Hint: Reverse hydraulics:
Shoot out both back tires of the selected vehicle and reverse.
Horrormoviefan99.

Hint-S.W.A.T. team:
To get the S.W.A.T. team on you, kill a number of civilians (about thirty). The S.W.A.T. team will come after you in black vans.
Kastro187420.

Hint-Break fence:
If you are stuck behind a fence that can be broken but do not have a car to break it with, Run at it and press Circle. This will cause you to dive through the fence, breaking it and freeing yourself.
Kastro187420.

Hint: Get past fence:
When in a blocked off place with a fence on the other side, go up to it and face it. Do not press any buttons. The game will put you back on the other side within five seconds. It is easier to do this than hit the fence and not get through.
GTA3Rockstar.

Hint: Defeating General Kim:
When fighting General Kim, use a low kick followed by a block or another kick. When he is stunned, press Circle, Square, X, Triangle to perform a super attack which will do more damage than a normal grapple. It is possible to roll through the railing once it is broken.

To defeat General Kim on the building rooftop, start the fight by running up to him. Either clothesline or slide kick him. He may block it, but there may a chance to hit him. After this, start kicking or punching him. He will block most of your attacks, but you will eventually throw a successful punch or kick. Then, keep attacking with that same attack until he gets dazed or starts blocking. If he blocks, switch attacks (for example, from punches to kicks or vice versa). Keep attacking and doing the same thing. When he gets dazed, you can either grapple him or do a finishing move. He may start to attack when you start a new combo or may attack you when you switch between attacks; be ready to block when he does this. It is unlikely that he will land a successful attack in the middle of your combo, as you will have struck first. Take advantage of this. If you want to do a finishing move, make sure that you do it near the walls so that it inflicts more damage. When he is on the floor, try stomping on him. You may miss most of the time but you may land a successful stomp in. It is also ideal to have a Good Cop rating when fighting him.
Irfan (Arfan) Ali.

To defeat General Kim on the airport runway, you must have the highest Good Cop rating. After getting this, you can fight in a similar way as you did on the building rooftop. Your goal is to get him as dizzy as possible. When you start the fight, look around the area for an iron pipe. When you find one, try attacking him with it while trying to defend yourself. When he gets dizzy, do the move where Nick swings the pipe over the head. It may do some extra damage, although you may not see the difference. Keep repeating this until the fight is over.
Irfan (Arfan) Ali.

Use the following trick if you are having trouble defeating General Kim at the airport strip. First, start by beating him a little, then grab a pipe found near the edge of the fire. Throw it at him. He will be stunned for a moment. Press Circle to bring him down. This drops his heath a very good amount, considering how difficult he is to defeat. Repeat these steps two more times. It will not be enough to kill him, but it lowers his heath a lot.

When fighting General Kim at the airstrip, the low-kick move is the one that hits the most and blocks his special move, the Combo Dragon Fist. When he starts to bring both hands back, shield yourself or this move can bring down almost one third of your health.

Hint: Defeating ancient Wu's concubine:
The easiest way to defeat ancient Wu's concubine is to run to the ropes and do a running attack. The rope will break. Go back and fight the concubine. Force them to fight where you broke the ropes and you can hit them off.
