GTA III: 10 Anniversary Cheat Sheet for Android: Mods and cheat codes

             GTA III: 10 Anniversary Cheat Sheet for Android: Mods and cheat codes

Rockstar recently released a game this past winter from their little known franchise called Grand Theft Auto. Hide your children, hide your wife, Grand Theft Auto III has made its way from your living room television to your pocket in form of the Grand Theft Auto III: 10 Anniversary Edition.

Unless you've been living under a gigantic rock then the name should ring a few bells. The mobile version resembles the revolutionary game in every way. Every crook and cranny of Liberty City is as exactly the way you remembered it a decade ago, complete with corner street lady services and random robberies that enraged TV newscasters and politicians years ago.

If you've played the PC version then you should be also familiar with how relatively easy it was to replace Claude (main protagonist) with different skins, add new cars and a number of mods that enrich the already deep gameplay. Console gamers were also able to join in on the fun by entering a combination of button inputs that unlocked weapons changed the weather or summoned cars. Upon release, mobile gamers found that their Rockstar changed little to nothing and modding the games were as versatile as its PC counterpart. Within days of release, mods began to crop up every forums and site, and now its as if every week users find new ways to add further modifications to an already stellar game.

If you've been keeping up with Droidgamers then you've seen the number of articles detailing the newest mods. We've decided to compile all of them together, including a number of mods we've yet to write about, in one single easy to find list. Remember, your mileage may vary, so attempt these mods at your own risk. We are not responsible if you turn your very expensive device to very expensive paperweights. The following mods vary in difficulty and users have reported mixed results in installing most of these mods. Once you try one don't expect the rest to be as simple. Enjoy and happy gaming!

1.) GTSETTINGSLAUNCHER

This one is quite simple. For those that hate to get their hands dirty, xda member hacsteak25 developed an app that does all the work for you. Grand Theft Auto is installed differently on every device and some contain a file called gta3.set. Gta3.set contains a code that determines most graphics that you see on your device. Rockstar probably removed or modified this file for lower end devices in order for the game to run smoothly. In normal circumstances, another user would have to provide the file for you to manually dump the files within the game folder.

With GTSETTINGSLAUNCHER, the gta3.set file is already provided and backs up your current one. The program goes even a step further and allows you to fiddle with certain parts of the graphics such as shadows, lighting, resolution, rendering, and blur. Keep in mind that enabling everything may cause slow down, lag and even crash. Keep your backups nearby when this issue arises.

2.) Real GTA3- New Weapons, locale and Vehicles

If driving over pedestrians with a souped up Lamborghini or a Dodge Viper then heading to your nearest golden arches for some fries and ending the night of terror by visiting the Statue of Liberty sounds fun, you should check yourself into the nearest hospital, because you may have an issue.

Real GTAIII also goes even further by taking a portion of NYC's famous statue, Statue of Liberty, er Statue of Happiness (as it's called on GTA IV) and allows players to access the island and statue by means of boat or car. Real world company factories and building are also included, so don’t be surprised to find a Pizza Hut in Staunton Island on your way to meet Luigi. Other additions include:

Buildings' outfits:

● completely redesigned brownstone district in SV
● Shell gas station

● fast-foods Nordsee, 2x McDonald's and 2x Pizza Hut
● Ford Service
● Mercedes-Benz Taxis

Objects have been added to the city:

● Statue of Liberty - this awesome NY's statue has moved to Liberty City. You can find it on new island near the Kenji's casino (it's even marked on radar!), so you must use a boat to get there. There are some useful historical and technical information on statue's pedestal. If you want to see whole Liberty City from the birds-eye, use stairs to get into statue's head or torch! But don't fall down!
● Player of previous version of RGTA suggested a great idea - jump ramp to Liberty Island. So it's in the game. Just take very fast car and try to be accurate in targeting the ramp - go wrong speed or direction and you won't land by the Statue of Liberty...you will fall into water. There's a boat by the Liberty Island ready to get you back to Staunton (you must start new game - boat won't be there if you load non-RGTA save games).
● New bridge - it is placed in Shoreside Vale and it's VERY useful, because it connects your hideout to the main road near the Francis Int. Airport. If you use Yakuza's Toyota Supra Veilside, you can get to Staunton from Shoreside in few seconds!!!

If you find GTA III’s default weapon nothing but mere pop guns and crave real guns, Real GTA III adds real world weapons as tools for your virtual psychotic behavior. MP5, Desert Eagle, UZI KG-9, Shotgun Battle 7, Sig551, Rocket launcher M79, Sniper Rifle PSG-1, L2A2 grenades are added to your arsenal to torture Liberty City citizens.
