'''Others'''

*Accessible [[Tram]]s were removed early in the games development for the [[City of San Andreas|San Andreas]].
* The ability to blow limbs off of non-playable characters was cut, but only from the [[PlayStation 2|PS2]] version of the game.[[http://gouranga.com/images/gta3/gta3_89.jpg]]
*Originally, the [[Superbike]] was supposed to be called "Bike".

* The ability to name the [[Claude|character]], much like in [[Grand Theft Auto 1|Grand Theft Auto]], was cut. An unused line of text reads "[DEFNAM] Claude----------------------" - interestingly, this confirms that the protagonist’s name ''is'' Claude.
* Unused lines of text within the game's text files contain phrases, such as "You're perfectly healthy, get out of here!" and "I'll just fix you up". These lines of text seem to imply that the game's hospitals were, originally, accessible/useable.
