Grand Theft Auto IV/Phil

Truck Hustle
You should be going into this mission with full armor and health and plenty of ammo, including sniper rounds.

After you drive to the specified location, you will see that you have to walk up some stairs to get to the yellow marker that starts the mission. Park the car off to the right of the stairs to get it out of the way.

After you walk to the marker, the target truck and cars full of thugs will pull up. When the cut scene is over, you will get control back in the Cover mode behind the brick wall.

This is one of those situations where the enemy will not do anything until you start firing, and then you can take as much time as you want to make sure you have killed as many of the thugs as you can get without coming out of cover.

You may as well start with a well-cooked grenade near the cars up front. Then immediately change to an automatic weapon. These thugs are very aggressive and many of them stand out in the open. If you lock onto one and come up to shoot him, the others will hits you with bullets, so you should use blind aims (pull LT half way and aim with R) in the Cover mode to target thugs who are in the open.

Some will try to charge your position and you have to target them and take them down quickly, so at the start, you should keep the aiming circle on the closest thugs or even just keep it pointed at the bottom of the stairs until you have gotten those 4 or 5 who are going to charge you.

After you get the thugs who were in the open, you will have to deal with those behind cover. You can get most of them with blind aims. One or two may be using blind aims on you, in which case the easiest way to get them is to lob grenades at them. Be sure to aim the target circle high enough to get the grenade over cars.

Once you have finished off all the nearby thugs, pull out your sniper rifle and zoom in on the area to the right of the truck. You should see 3 or 4 thugs and be able to pick them off. Once you get them, you probably won't be able to see any of the remaining thugs near the truck, but the truck is going to pull out soom and you must run after it.

Thugs will be shooting at you as you run after the truck, which is why you need to have preserved your armor/health. The truck is slow and at a sprint, you should catch up to it. The rest is pretty easy, following the instructions on the screen.

The key to capturing the truck once you are on top is to press L back (towards you) to grab hold during turns, then press L forward to get to the cab of the truck while going down straight streets.

Once you get the truck, you will be told to drive it to an old mansion. After you do so and are reaady to leave, you'll see a motocycle nearby, but don't take it. Turn around and go to the rear of the garage and you will find a coveted Sultan sports car in the weeds; take it instead.

If you are low on ammo or armor, top off at a gun shop and go back to a safehouse to park the Sultan and to save the mission.
