==Tips to increase the score==
* The storyline missions can do you a great favor as finishing them earn 5 points, but consider that in almost all of them, you will kill people, earn money (between end-mission money and money you might earn off your victims), destroy lots of vehicles and sometimes aircraft.
* After completing the storyline missions, you should be left with a nice bank account and a solid 10,000 points at the very least. Of course, doing every side-missions will help you climb higher in the criminality ranks.
* Sadly, though, completing everything, even with keeping all the money, won't make you go to the million points. You must know that maxed money alone is worth 199,999 points only in the score, you'll need obviously more to attain the million.
If you wish to increase your criminal rating using other ways, your only solution is to get into a fight with the system and start making a killing spree. Here are a few tips if you want to "start a one-man war".<!--Arcade-like fun IMHO, as you have one chance at a time to score lots of points and "cash" them by using the checkpoint methods.-->
* Wearing [[Body Armor]] is ''essential'', but it is strongly advised to complete the [[Paramedic]] mission to max out your health. The point is, of course, to ''survive'' in order to get to a checkpoint.
* Obviously, load yourself up with powerful weaponry. The [[Minigun]] will be your best tool as it can be used for multiple purposes, from killing clumps of running pedestrians to destroying aircraft swiftly and easily.
* Take down aircraft in priority! Each of those will grant you instantly 30 points each without having to "cash them" using the checkpoint method. In case you die during your killing spree, you will have at least the aircraft takedown points.
* Choose your paths wisely. Plan how you're gonna do the killing spree, make an escape plan, make sure you can respond to any threat or retreat if needed. Whatever you do, try to survive.
* A good place to start a killing spree would be in south [[San Fierro]]. Lots of people spawn on the streets of Doherty, especially those one block north from the [[Wang Cars]] and is an excellent place to do massive kills. It is also the perfect retreat place, as if you are too low on health, all you have to do is to run to the garage, pick a car upstairs and race the few feet separating you from the Pay'n'spray that will make you cash in your points. Even better, there is a Sprunk dispenser near the [[Cranberry Station]] to quickly restore your health and start killing again.
* Optimize your chances of surviving by planning an escape route. Be sure there's always next to you a way for you to escape, be it a fast vehicle, an aircraft, back-alleys, spawn points of body armor or weapons or even [[Police Bribes|bribes]], just so you get the few extra protection needed to run your way to a checkpoint, provided you're close to one. Learn the streets, and don't plan a city-scale rampage. Instead, stay around your favorite places, those you know the best. Remember, a checkpoint can be any safehouse, and any Pay'n'Spray.
* Avoid getting surrounded. In the case this happens, and you need at any costs to get out of the place you've been trapped in (such as a back-alley, a rooftop, or anywhere in the likes), try sniping your way out. A good shot in the head or in the gas tanks can gift you an escape route, especially in higher wanted level situations.
