	The PS2 version ~~(xbox needs testing)~~ lets you skip most cutscenes, while the GC version only lets you skip some of them. This saves a vast amount of time on the PS2 version (~30 minutes? needs confirmation).		The PS2 version lets you skip most cutscenes, while the GC version only lets you skip some of them. This saves a vast amount of time on the PS2 version (~30 minutes? needs confirmation).

	Coring charges are slightly (25%?) weaker in the PS2 version. A prime example of this playing out is that in Hero Training it takes two coring charges to free the trapped miners in the PS2 version, while the GC version only needs one.

	Since Tethering gives ~~the same~~ animation as using the wrench, it was thought to be possible to clip OoB with a tether as well. This does not work, unfortunately, since you need to be facing the wall from the front rather than the back.

	~~Recently, there is a way found to get underneath the water in this level. Therefore, this trick is now in use.~~
	At the beginning of the level 'I, Predator' you can quickly get on top of the elevator and perform a few jumps which lets you get on top of the building, and easily get out of bounds. from there you can travel to the location in the video and perform the next trick. Note: It is even possible to drop down to the large tunnel areas (Were you are supposed to be in a predator)and destroy the generator as Glitch.

	You can use a tank to access heights that are not normally reachable. This is most commonly done by grinding a tank against a wall and getting out to jump off the tip before it slides back down.

	While Out of Bounds, the game will sometimes load too many areas, resulting in a reset back to your last checkpoint. This can be prevented by using your scope when crossing these areas.
