The_One Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Anyone else have this game? Been out for a few days now - it's absolutely brilliant Way better than the PS2 version. I love it, and am totally addicted GTA 3 seemed like a perfect game when it came out, now Rockstar seem to have gone and made a perfect game better! Top quality!

HertogJan Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Yeah it's supah dupah great!! I think it is slightly better than GTA3; better graphics, motorcycles, helicopters, cutscenes etc. But it has a different feel and that's what I like about these two games, you don't get the feeling they're the same!! BTW, the graphics look GREAT!! I really like the boulevard, with all the neon lights, just great!! And if you collect secret packages, you get nice pickups, here's a gide to get them, it's way harder to get them, but the ultimate reward is an APACHE HELICOPTER!! To get it you have to fly in the military base verytime, but it's worth it, easy vigilante missions hehe http://bradsnet.net/index.asp?F=grand_theft_auto_vice_city_packages.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not forgotten about it, I've been playing it everyday since it's release! I agree with your assessment of the game as well! I just think they did something right with this new game......and I didn't think that GTA 3 left much room for improvement. My favorite thing is to cruise around on the motorcycles!

HertogJan Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 It's really adrenaline pumping to ride on a PCJ 300 (or whatever ) at full speed on the wrong side of the longest straight road you can find... And then bumping into a big truck... OUCH!!! Oh and once you get yourself a nice villa, I like looking at it, thinking 'I told you I was going to make it, MWUAHAHAA' Are you guys buying properties already?? Makes you a good deal of money too you know I bought the Malibu club with the $100,000 I earned with finding the hidden packages And now I have acces to new missions and stuff, replayability is BIG with GTA:VC too!!

coupes. Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 yeah! i got it the day it came out... what a game! i agree with Leemu about the bikes, i have like 5 or 6 in my differnet garages around the city... the hole game feels like an 80's movie, if you havent tried it yet... well do!!

I haven't played it anywhere near enough to have found all the hidden packages yet I'm playing the missions at the moment, some are pretty tough. However, I've got some time on my hands, so maybe I'll go for the hidden packages I just bought a property in Downtown that has a Maverick on the roof, I just fancied having my own private chopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HertogJan Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Well if you can buy property in downtown, you must have finished the Diaz Mansion mission right?? There's a helicopter on that roof too. And with 80 packages there's a chopper with mounted machingun that can land on water at the back of the mansion I'm kinda stuck now btw, I have a mission where I have to drive against some unbeatable guy (it's a Malibu Club mission) and one where I have to steer some airplanes with bombs to cuban boats, but I just can't control those damn planes!!

coupes. Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 i agree, the RC planes missino is kinda hardm but beating the guy in the race isn't, i got it on the first try... but keep trying because your next malibu mission is really cool, probaply one of the best in the game, IMO.

HertogJan Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 I believe it's a bank robery, I've seen much bank-like buildings in Downtown, so it could be possible. After all, I've just recruited a gunner and a safe cracker, hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfnshannon Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 For those of you who have played it on PS2...is it different on PC? I am sooo stuck on the Helicopter mission where you shoot the people from it. Its horrible.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupes. Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 it is a bank roberry indeed, and it's pretty cool, but not that hard though. i had played the PS2 version before and it's the same exept you can't target like on the PS2, if you can well i can't do it.

ZePhyR Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 In the helicopter mission, that's precisely what you do -- shoot people til its over. I dont see why anyone who can have the game on PS2 would play it on PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HertogJan Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 The helicopter mission is EASY on PC... It's a fairly early mission I believe, where you fly over the house in Prawn Island right?? Well just shoot everyone, with the mouse it's easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfnshannon Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 You guys are so mean....well the gun is touchy on ps2 and NEVER seems to go where it is supposed to ...you tap it to the right and goes WAY right..so you tap to the Left and it goes WAY left...it makes for annoying combat.

The_One Posted May 20, 2003 Author Share Posted May 20, 2003 I just played the "Cop Land" mission - that was damn hard! I also have all the hidden packages, and in combination with a cop uniform makes getting the Hunter easy It's great fun flying that thing round - especially air combat with police copters I need to find all the cars on the list at the showroom, then the business should start making some real money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm missing one at the airport near the tower? The other I have no clue, but I kow I have all from the first island, middle islands, and the top half of the last island. It has to be South of Phil's place? The hardest cars for me were the golf cart and the sabre (it wouldn't appear forver). I found a dead body who looks like Diaz in the the water with cement "shoes" on. Go to the linkin links golf course. Off the coast between the course and the last island is a small underwater rock formation. He's just below the surface with his hands up. THere's also a huge tanker that crashed in the South port harbor of the last island. It's South of those little water huts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HertogJan Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Eh have you read this guide? http://bradsnet.net/index.asp?F=grand%5Ftheft%5Fauto%5Fvice%5Fcity%5Fpackages%2Etxt It helped me finding the packages I'm to lazy to search for them myself, I only found 12 of them before I started with the guide Oh and you can use pretty much any hidden packages map that has numbers to use with this guide, the numbers are the same and a map can be very nice I now completed the pole position club asset and now it's starting to make money. Next I'll do the taxi missions and then the sunshine cars missions... And after that I'll buy more property Oh BTW, when you buy the pole position, a mr. vercetti suit is delivered a few buildings further, it's really great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[RAA]-=Chi3f=- Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 94. North of #93 there is a fire station. It has an antenna on top, it's impossible to miss. This package is on the west side of the building. That's the one I'm missing, but I can't find it. I've searched for a good while now. I'm going to look from #62 to #99 and see what I can find. I used that map and guide when I was stuck at 87 packages. I found 11 more easily after that. I went in order, but still can not find the last two. I just want the hunter to beat the missions again, lol. I've beaten the game already, but now I'm plaing to get as much ammo before I do the missions. It makes a big difference in the game, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_One Posted May 20, 2003 Author Share Posted May 20, 2003 The fire station one is BEHIND the fire station by the water... The bradsnet guide is brilliant, that's what I used. I had a map too, but never needed it because the guide explains everything so well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean Sunshine Cars, the one you can buy?? I didn't need a limo for those missions I found them all pretty quick. And yes, the Diaz mansion usually has a limo Also I did the 'Job' mission now, it's great and I like the interior of the bank I now completed the assets for Kaufmann Cabs, Pole Position Club, Malibu Club, er... that's it I believe, now I need to do the shipyard asset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
