Oh my gosh this game is just GREAT! It has everything! Heck, yesterday I even found a helicopter to fly!! The controls are a bit of a bitch and I don't like the radio but everything else is just great.

Any tips people could give out for me? I'm up to um... I just did the last mission for Diaz... and now I have to go rescue Lance :twisted: these missions are getting really hard! A pistol just doesn't cut it anymore :(

I have a good memory. Within a week I know where I'm going mostly and I've even found a few cool hidden things (Helicopters, PCJ-600's, weapons etc.) and the firetruck is great too... fast way for money :D

here's a tip, drag shortcuts to your favourite mp3s to the mp3 directory under the game directory, then switch to the mp3 radio station to listen to them. personally, i love the in game stations :)

yep youve gotta love GTA Vice City, not only does it do everything that GTAIII did and more but it runs a hell of a lot faster too.

my setup:
GTA3 = means occasional lag and low resolution
Vicy City = High resolutions, high framerates

must be a more optomized port of the PS2 version or somthing.

The RC helicoptor is fun as well, slice and dice the goons

Any one have patches for GTA 3? Particularly the MA15+ AU to R18+ US Patch?

Look through Google :o
Rockstar have already begun development on the next installment to the GTA series :)
The dodgey thing is that it's made for PS2 and then ported to PC, imho it'd be a much better result if it was optimised for PC and then ported to PS2.. but oh well, SONY pay them shitloads so I guess it's up to them :(

Thanks for that tip! While the ingame stations are kinda cool, I'd rather listen to my music instead. Those stations seem a bit older for me. I'm told i'm about halfway through the game and I'm still loving it! It's getting awfully hard now though :o Any word on the new one? Title? Differences?

the new one is supposedly a ps2 exclusive.

Oh crap! October! Well, I think I have almost finished this game... and I still play MP2. Maybe they will both last me til then. Vice City should last me at least another 2 months :)

I got this game a few weeks ago, but got bored after a few days.

yeah, great game. oi amph, heres a couple of tips:

when u buy the car showroom, u can get wicked cars by completing lists. near the garages theres a list, bring the cars to the garage near the list and then when u complete a whole list you will get an exclusive car in the showroom!

also, when u get enough properties, u will get a respawning weapon at your save points. keep collecting the minigun and eventually you will get unlimited ammo for it!

buy lots of companies that respawn u money and make sure u collect the money!!

oh and if u prefer the PS2 feel of the game, buy a PS2 controller and then get a port converter to change the plug from the PS2 thingy to USB

when uve done all the missions and got all the properties, there is still much to do including all the bonus missions and robbing stores

check out the FAQ for it if u want a walkthru/more tips

whats mp2?

have fun......

actually, i want to go and install it again now :P (i once got to the second island in only one night!)

Roadkill :)

Post 18

i'm back into this again now.. got to level 115 on Vigilante.. then the game crashed..

i've managed to save it after i've completed level 49 though.. i'm going to try to get to level 100 and save it.

vc was good but to easy to finish all i can do now is basicly stealing the armys helli with guns or getting tanks and just going as fast as i can by shooting the cannon backwards and going up jumps. i also like collecting cars
