Start - Regardless of whether you're on foot or in a vehicle the start button 
is the pause button.  When the game is paused it brings up your menu which you 
can cycle through and change various options or look at your statistics.

Select - The select button basically controls the camera for everything, there 
are three different camera distances you can choose from when running around 
on foot and various different types of camera for your vehicles as well.

D-pad - The D-pad does not move you or steer your cars in this game.  When 
you're on foot the d-pad is used to recruit gang members if you have that 
ability, walk up to one of them and target with R1 then press either up or 
down to recruit.  In conversation pressing either left or right responds 
positively or negatively respectively.  In car it changes radio stations.

Left Analog - This is the basic moving and steering button.  While on foot it 
moves your character in the direction you press and while in your car it 
steers in the direction you want to go, quite a handy button.

Right Analog - The right analog stick is primarily for controlling the camera, 
moving it around will circle the camera around you and pretty much give you 
any view you want, though it always defaults back to where it started.

X - The X button is used to confirm menu choices, holding it down also allows 
you to run while on foot and accelerate in your car.  It has an additional 
tapping function where tapping it really fast allows you to do a super sprint 
with your character, or pedal the bicycle really really fast.

Triangle - The triangle button is used while on foot to either get into a car 
or onto a motorcycle and such.  It also kind of acts as the initiation button 
for special events and such like buying a drink.  If you press the triangle 
button while in your car, then you will get out of the car, hooray!

Square - The square button is the jump button, when you jump and grab onto a 
ledge it also allows you to climb up the ledge.  While fighting you can use 
the square button to block, but who does that.  While in a vehicle the square 
button will slow down and reverse, or lower your helicopter.

Circle - The circle button is the attack button while on foot allowing you to 
punch and kick and do other such violent things.  If you press the circle 
button while in a car you can shoot, and also while you're holding a gun.  If 
you're in water it will allow you to dive under, or open your parachute while 
you fall.  The circle button is your basic backup emergency button.

L1 - The L1 button has numerous functions while on foot, it lets you look at 
your statistics but when you havea  gun out is also acts as an alternate fire 
button.  In a car it doesn't do anything but you can bunny hop on a bike.

R1 - The R1 button is used as the target button allowing you to focus in on 
singular people.  In cars the R1 button is the all important handbrake 
allowing you to perform daring moves and sliding around corners at high speed.

L2 - The L2 button is one of two buttons used for cycling through your weapons 
or zooming them in.  Inside a car it also lets you look to your left.

R2 - The R2 button is one of two buttons used for cycling through your weapons 
or zooming them out.  Inside a car it also lets you look to your right.

L3 - The L3 button (pressing the left analog stick down) is the button you 
press in order to crouch while on foot.  It's the pointless horn in a car.

R3 - The R3 button (pressing the right analog stick down) is the button you 
press in order to look behind you while on foot.  The only purpose it serves 
in vehicles is if you're in a special car like a cop car, activates missions.
