i heard luigi and 8-ball are in this and 8-ball dies? sh*t that sucks if it's true

[the ninja]

I haven't played it, but I heard you blow up Toni Cipriani's Portland safehouse in it. The safehouse is there in LCS (of course), and already blown up in GTA III. This means GTA Advance is set in between LCS and III. 8-Ball is in GTA III, so, according to my logic, no, 8-Ball doesn't die in GTA Advance.

[Dudman]

Oh ok good and who sends you to blow up toni's safehouse?

For a brief summary of the game's story, check the Advance section on carpetdweller's storyline page.

For more details on the game's characters and story, look at the "Game Script" or some of the walkthroughs posted on GameFAQs.

[Dudman]

thank you for the info.

GTA Advance is set in 2000, one year before the actions in GTA III (2001). In the Liberty Tree there's an article where 8 Ball says that his hands were badly damaged when a policeman accidentally poured hot fat on them. But in GTA Advance you can see that 8 Ball gets serious fire wounds by Flame Throwers of an enemy gang, in a mission at the end of the storyline.

Edit: The article in The Liberty Tree.

Nope.

Vincenzo was killed in LCS in 1998.

Vinnie was killed in about 1999/2000 when GTA Advance took place.

[jmr19]

oh I could have sworn so cause they look alike

[Master-Of-GTA]

Mike: The main character. You play as him. He escapes Liberty City in Cisco's plane at the end of the game.
Vinnie: Mike's 'boss'. He supposedly dies early in the game, but it's revealed that he just didn't want to share his cash with Mike. Mike then kills him.
8-Ball: Owner of a bomb-shop and one of Mike's employers. He is badly injured and arrested late in the game.
Jonnie The Bartender: Owns a bar and is one of Mike's employers. He is assasinated by the Yardies.
King Courtney: Leader of the Yardies and one of Mike's employers. Vinnie worked for him, and is behind everything. Mike kills him at the end of the game.
Cisco: Leader of the Colombians. He is involved in the drug trade, and is one of Mike's employers. He is killed late in the game.
Asuka: Leader of the Yakuza and one of Mike's employers. She betrays Mike late in the game but escapes.

I hope this clears everything up. And no, I didn't copy and paste this. I made it myself.

If I remember correctly Mike doesn't kill King Courtney in GTA Advance coz the cops arrive just when Mike's gonna kill King Courtney and Mike realizes it's not worth it.

Not only does King Courtney survive during the events of GTA Advance, as leader of the Yardies he gives you (Claude) a total of 4 missions in GTA 3.

can i just ask...WHAT IS GAT ADVANCE?!? iv never heard of it before....is it new; or really old...or WHAT!!!!????

[saintdave]

GTA Advance is a GTA game that was made specifically for the Gameboy Advance back in 2004.

It reverted to the classic top-down/birds eye view due to the GBA's limited graphics. The game wasn’t brilliant but it was another story to the GTA world, one that answers a few questions as it is set after LCS but 1 year before the events of GTA 3, so most likely the year 2000.

More information and further details on the storyline can be found here.

Now allot of the gaps have been filled thanks to the story line on wikkipedia, thanks for your help guys.

Actually, there's no evidence to suggest either way!

Wow and he betrays you again,

[Lex90210]

The GTA Advance is for the Gameboy advance I am guessing but is there one for the DS?
