1 OdpowiedźWhat happened to cheat codes? Cheat codes were the main reason I bought gta(all of them). I miss the good old days. I can't remember the name, but there was a basketball game where on the loading screen you would just go crazy on the controller and hit every button randomly to try and get as many codes in as possible. that was half of the fun of the game. the world needs more cheat codes.
