The Hoods appear as his bodyguards and allies, so Mike has to kill them before dealing with Vinnie himself.

It becomes apparent that the killer of Cisco is no one else than Vinnie himself, who faked his death. After dealing with them, Mike rushes to Cisco's jet, and learns that the man said the truth. Later, he is contacted by another member of the Hoods, who ambushes him with another group and tells him that Cisco is dead. In the mission, they make an appearance, trying to kill Mike who is posing as Cisco in his Stretch limousine, together with the Mafia and the Yardies. As it turns out, the meeting is an ambush, forcing Mike to kill Xox and his Hoods entourage. The player has a choice between going there and meeting with Cisco. Their only appearance is during the mission Bad Pimpin' where they are seen defending the Pimp that Asuka Kasen sent Mike to kill.īy the end of the game, Xox targets Mike and tells him to come over to Wichita Gardens. They don't appear much during the Staunton Island portion of the game, though nevertheless, they spawn in Belleville Park and attack Mike on sight. A street criminal, Freddy, is also defended by Hoods and shares his in-game appearance with generic Hoods. In the next mission, it becomes apparent that they owe money to Jonnie, who sends Mike to kill four Hoods in Portland. Hoods members also appear to be on bad terms with Jonnie, a bartender, as they try to kill him during the mission Love Boat but are defeated by Mike. Due to the fact that Scorelli drives a Diablo and appears to live in Hepburn Heights, might mean that these Hoods are working together with the Diablos. They give chase to Mike as he drives to the Pay 'n' Spray in Trenton to get the car resprayed. He appears to be involved with the Hoods, as some Hoods members are sent by him after Mike after he steals his car. Later, Mike is sent by 8-Ball to steal the car of a gangster going by the name of Scorelli. At first reluctant, Mike does so and becomes an enemy of the Hoods. In the early missions, Mike is sent by the Mafia (probably the Forelli Family) to collect money from the Hoods who don't want to pay them. One such gang is located in Trenton, Portland. In Grand Theft Auto Advance, set in 2000, it appears that there are more gangs in Liberty City going by the name of "Hoods", and not all appear to be African-American (members on the streets wear pink hoodies and blue jeans and seem to be light-skinned), hinting that they may also serve as an equivalent to petty Street Criminals in this game. At this point in time, both gangs were allied and acted as a single gang. In Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, set in 1998, they are assisted by the Leone Family in taking Wichita Gardens as their turf and driving out the Forelli Family.
