GTA Vice City

my son bought me the GTA III double pack for xbox so I'd have something to do while I recover from my back surgery (awesome kid), but the damn Vice City locks up randomly. None of my other xbox games do this. Sucks. The music really sets the mood though, that's a shitload of licensed music in one game. I'm just getting started on the game really, we just drove around and messed about for a couple hours, I didn't really want him to see the "seedier" side of it. You can actually drive a motorcycle into the friggen mall, we both almost fell off the couch from laughing so hard, but we couldn't get the bike to go up the escalator. Now that's he's gone back to his mom's, I can start shooting and running over people.

He's a sneaky little guy, I have the feeling he only got me this game so he could play it while he's here, since his mom won't let him play it. But she really couldn't say no to him buying it for me, LOL.

 

You've raised a fine boy.

 

Take the time to hunt down as many Hidden Packages as you can early in the game. The more you collect, the more handy weapons and items are stashed at your numerous hideouts, saving you the time and money of having to constantly restock and replenish elsewhere.

 

just use all of the cheats. The game is no fun unless you are killing everyone.

 

just saw the funniest damn thing, I was in the big Blazer type vehicle, and I hit a guy on a motorcycle and he landed on the roof, proceeded to stand up on top of my blazer, and walked off the rear and kept going. Tough SOB, I totaled his bike, LOL.

 

anyone know where I can dl the manual for gta?

 

lol... There are loads of those moments in the game. I started a new game and had gotten pretty far, proud as hell that I hadn't been "wasted" once. Then I got cocky and started hotdogging on a motorcycle. I totally wiped out at full speed on a curb or fire hydrant or something... I hurtled through the air, arms flailing, at least a full city block before plunging into the water beneath a nearby bridge. I laughed so hard it was worth losing my unblemished survival record.

 

There's a good PS2 one at vice-city.com I think. I've been using bits and pieces to get through stuff I should be able to know. But PC specific, I can't remember one.

Last weekend I got up to where I have the mansion now. Got four total hangouts and just bought the car dealer.

Wish I could do better on the crotch rockets. Firing over the handlebars is pretty fucking cool...if there were a police motorcycle the vigilante missions would be easy as hell. As it is they get really boring if you don't cheat and use the tank. Which is fun as hell, having five wanted stars and the police chopper's trying to take you down but everything just bounces off.


You know something that doesn't exist in this town? Pickup trucks. Best I know there are no pickups at all. No flatbeds, either.

 

Also try gamefaqs.com. they have a lot of cheats, walkthroughs and maps.

 

Just noticed that BJ Smith, the ex-football player on some of the radio stations is played by Lawrence Taylor. Pretty cool. Jenna Jameson is in the game too.
