I have two saves on every GTA game. One with cheats, and one without. I've completed Vice City (PC), GTA III (PC), Liberty City Stories (PSP), and Vice City Stories (PSP) 100% without cheating. But I do enjoy the occasional flying-tank rampage; hence my other save files.
I also completed San Andreas, but I hated it and didn't bother to get 100%. I only completed it because my friends kept telling me it would get better. I was severely disappointed.anyone here finished GTA3 without using ...

Yeah. And also, the games are all better on the PC. Custom radio stations, better graphics, and better control.
i bet the game is WAY easier on the pc. I found the controlls pretty bad for the ps2. I never got close to finishing GTA III. but GTA: SA was pretty easy. I only had issues on the last mission really. the funny thing was i did not know it was the last mission, so i quit for a while, went back finished it and was all ''That was the end?''

I actually haven't played Grand Theft Auto III in years, but I'll admit right here that I never beat it; I don't think I even came close to beating it. It definitely was a difficult game, but I think the main reason I didn't beat it is because it really couldn't hold my attention. It would take a Scarface style storyline, more weapons, better graphics and of course, my personal favorite thing in GTA, the motorcycles to make me a believer when the sequel came out.
Wasnt there one of the previous games where it was impossible to get 100%?Like the game maxed out at 96% or something?In any event i completed all of them without cheating but couldnt get 100% on one of them if i recall.
I never really cared about GTA too much until San Andreas. I finished that and GTA4 without cheats though.
i try not to cheat at all when i play any gta...i usually start cheating during my second playthrough
I have beat gta 3 - SA without cheats. In GTA3 on that last mission I had already found 50 secret packages just from exploring myself(and my memory of finding them previously a long time ago). So I had a pistol, uzi, shotgun, grenades and an armor vest. And since your base in that area is along the same route as the shortcut to the Dam entrance I would goto the mansion and get mugged and escape, goto my base and gear up, and then storm the dam.
Really the only thing you need is armor after the mansion. If you take the time to pick up the weapons the guys at the dam drop you will be good to go. I used that sniper rifle to take out their snipers and the two guys at the second blockage(just past the sniper rifle). Then I run up and grab the two machine guns that get dropped which is very important. Machineguns can be aimed in FPS mode. So I then tap the shoot button to snipe everyone else with the machine gun. Then chopper takes off and a guy jumps in a truck and comes at you.
You can switch an uzi or ak-47 and take out the truck(the chopper usually helps take it out since its blowing up all those barrels?). Then I switch back to my machine gun and wait for the chopper to swing around and then i empty my machine gun into it(usually takes two passes, and yes I have enough ammo for that cuz i have good aim). Then I take out the last guy standing on a container right before the stairs. I got up the stairs with the machinegun(yup still have some ammo left) and I go up them just enough to snipe the two guys by Maria.
Then end. So I grab some armor, use the sniper rifle, use the machine gun, the end lol. As for the shortcut to the damn entrance. I dont know how everyone else does it but I take the S path back down to my base and then I exit my base and go right and then take one more right and then just drive over the ledge(which is right by the underground tunnel) and then I go up that road and to the right and there is the dam entrance. If you dont have to goto your base you can go down that S path until you see that parking lot on the right, Go into the parking lot and drive off that ledge and then up the road and to the right.
The only other path is to exit the mansion and goto the left and take that bumpy road behind all the mansions. I dont even fight the two guys at the first blockade anymore. I dont remember if they have machineguns or not. If they do then it would be worth it but i think they just have AK-47's which are useless. Machineguns = light blue bubble, ak's = purple bubbles.
Just make every effort to pick up machine guns and you will be good.
I just played gta3 a few days ago and there were three missions I got stuck on and had to do repeatedly even though I have beaten the game like 2-3 times before that lol. If you use cheat codes to solve problems you will not get any better. Now After I beat gta games it all depends on my mood, sometimes I load up on cheat codes and go berserk, mostly I just run around and caue havoc with whatever I can get myself.
It sounds weird to me to say that you beat a game ''without cheats'' because if you use cheats, you didn't really beat it, right?I mean, I haven't used a cheat code since I was like 13. I didn't think real gamers even thought about cheats.

[/QUOTE] Thank you, this is very comprehensive walkthrough. though i tried the secret packages thing, i ended up collecting only 32 packages (i got tired of finding it). so i got a pistol and a uzi at the base which also is the same weapons you get at the mansion from fallen enemies so i never bothered returning to the base. there is also a guide/FAQ which it says it is possible to run as fast as you can towards the military base at the previous island, buy off the machinegun, rocketlauncher, and head back towards the dam. I tried it twice but ended up with a time of a minute to fight off the final boss.Anyway, thanks for the tip! if i might replay this game, i may have to find much hidden packages as much as possible.

3 through 4 all without cheat codes on both PS2, Xbox and 360, not that hard.
yeah i have finished it heaps of times, GTA 3 was deffinately the hardest of the series though, but i felt it was the most rewarding, i mean you didnt see a sports car untill you got to the second island, or knew of the car showroom. maybe because i was the first one and no one had really seen anything like that it just seemed rewarding cause it was all new.
Yep, but I worked on secret packages when I couldn't finish the final mission the first time. Gradually getting more and more weapons and pickups near my hideout as Abandon said.Once that happened, it was just a matter of pacing myself at the dam. Not to mention, I played it on PC, so the controls were a lot tighter than a console.
