* Be careful who you mess with. Unlike the [[GTA III Era]] most of the gangs members wear casual dress and no longer wear gang uniforms. They will not hesitate to attack you if you aim at the worng person or fire a gun at the wrong place and time. | * Be careful who you mess with.

* The police in this game are smarter and shoot better and more effectively than in previous games. They also have better weapons. Also, unlike the GTA III Era, killing a cop, FIB agent or NOOSE agent will give the player a 3 star wanted level, rather than a 2 star wanted level. Also, the NOOSE come at a 3 star wanted level, unlike the SWAT, which come at a 4 star wanted level in the GTA III Era. Expect to be swarmed even on 3 star wanted levels. Avoiding cop attention is a must, or they will quickly put an end to your day. | * The police in this game are smarter and shoot better and more effectively than in previous games.

* Use the "Sleep Mode" on your phone if you just want to cruise around [[Liberty City]] without being nagged by mission-givers. Go the Options menu in your phone and choose to turn Sleep Mode ON. This will halt the story's progress so you can call up your friends to hang out with them or just do whatever. | * Use the "Sleep Mode" on your phone if you just want to cruise around [[Liberty City]] without being nagged by mission-givers.

This is very handy if you want to avoid missions that are triggered by phone calls (especially those in the later stages of GTA IV) in order to mess around or stock up on ammo and health. | ||
* Clean your clothes. Did you just get your new suit all bloody to have an interview in thirty minutes? Go to a [[safehouse]] and either sleep (Bear in mind this does cause game time to increase by six hours) or change your clothes & back again. Good as new. Another way to clean your clothes is just to replenish your health: get some food, buy a sprunk, call an [[ambulance]], whatever. Replenishing your health does the trick. Note that by calling an ambulence you could be charged up to $1000, though you can kill the medic to get your money back (or even a profit!). | * Clean your clothes.

* How to deal with blind firing enemies: If an enemy is blind firing like his life depended on it, aim for his arm/hand, as it is exposed when blind firing. If you hit it, he'll likely stumble out into the open, where you can hopefully kill him. If his weapon is hit, he might drop it, causing him to run/pull a pistol. He'll only pull a pistol if he wasn't using it before. | * How to deal with blind firing enemies: If an enemy is blind firing like his life depended on it, aim for his arm/hand, as it is exposed when blind firing.
