  4. Massive Air Time

    When you accidently (or purposely) flip your car upside down, the game counts this as ''Air Time''. It is possible to get massive air time by simply lying upside down then getting back on your wheels.

    To get back on your wheels, you must first have the Peel-out upgrade, where you must hold accelerate and brake together for a boost. While upside down, you will still be able to use this ability, so constantly do this until your car flips itself over again. Once you do this, the game registers this as your car returning to it's ''feet'', and gives you the appropriate air time!

  5. Run through Fences

    While running into an otherwise impassable fence, shoot your gun, then shoot again about 1 second later. You will run through the fence.

  6. Weapon Duplication

    You need to have a weapon other than you standard pistols you hold. First way to do this is while arresting someone you may sometimes accidentally drop your weapons or so it seems. If you pull out your weapons you'll still be holding them and there are two more weapons like the ones you were holding on the ground. The second way though slightly harder is by standing off the sidewalk say, on the grass and drop your weapons. If you pick them up at the same time the screen goes white to put you on the sidewalk again you should be holding two of the one weapon you picked up or there should be four weapons where you left them.

True Crime: Streets of LA Cheats For PlayStation 2

  1. Choose You Car's Color...

    While creating a license plate hold down L1 + R1 then use the left analog stick to browse through the colors.

    Contributed by: St0nedf0rLyfeX 

  2. Menu Screen Manipulation

    Use the right analogue stick on the main menu to scroll the monochrome city background forward and backward at will.

    Contributed by: jeevan3 

  3. Various symbols on license plate.

    When creating a new license plate press and hold L1 + R1 the press left or right on the left analog and you should see various symbols you can input on the plate these include a Hand, Heart, Star, Plus sign, Minus sign, and Handicap sign.

    Contributed by: nocturnized 

  4. Make pedestrians go through any wall

    Find any wall on the street and stand very close to it, facing it. Wait untill a pedestrian comes along, then press O to frisk him/her. If you did it right and were close to and facing the wall, Nick will push the pedestiran through the wall.

    Contributed by: starcrafttroop64 

  5. Change characters, car color, and plates without losing stats, skills, upgrades, missions completed, etc.

    Before you enter any Impound Garage remove your memory card and the game will prompt you to insert the memory card if you want to save your game, re-insert the memory card then save your game. At this point you can either override an existing file or create a new file, now is when you can create your new license plate with either a new character, new car color, or new name on the plate with out losing anything you have unlocked in the game, finally all you have to do now is save you game and enjoy.

    Note: This can probably be done anywhere the game saves but it's best doing it at the garages because you can see the new car color if you have changed it and you know it has worked, also if you change characters you will need to exit the garage before you see the new character you have chosen.

    Contributed by: nocturnized 

  6. Unlimited Ammunition

    First get the gun you want to have for unlimited ammo for(ie: AK-47). Get that gun into Kang's right hand by picking up another gun. When you get close to running out of ammo with the gun that is in your right hand, holster your guns, then fire the gun into the air by pressing R2+R1, you only have to fire it once, and you should notice that the clip automatically reloads as Kang puts the guns back into his holsters. Then unholster your weapons and the gun you have in you right hand should be fully reloaded.

    note: This only works with the gun you have in your left hand. And also only works when you are in those open ended missions(the ones where you can solve street crimes), not the ones where you shoot your way through the mission because in those missions you can't holster your guns. Not all guns hold the same amount of ammo, for example an uzi and a shotgun

    Contributed by: dasplota 

  7. CPU Driving

    After an in-game movie where Nick is driving, don't touch the controller, and don't skip the movie. When the game starts back up, the Computer will drive to where your supposed to go on it's own. Nick obeys all traffic signals, and sometimes is hit by people who don't. Be Careful, for those of you who like to keep your good cop rating up, Nick sometimes hits pedestrians and sometimes just drives aimlessly and never takes you to your destination.

    Contributed by: Kid Vicious 3102 

  8. Hidden FMV

    First you need to play as the blindfolded donkey (JASS, see "how to change Nick" in unlockables.)
    Then you must complete all three endings. Now the bonus FMV will change, and you will see a pimp and one of Wu's ladies.
