Specifically they mention...

1. The larger garage at the Hyman condo makes stored cars vanish!

2. It keeps crashing

3. Muddled/missing textures in game (eg. grass where there should be road)

4. Completed missions failing to appear in stats or appearing with incorrect times/scores

Has anyone noticed these? They were listed by someone who wrote into the letters page.

Sometimes a scratched or damaged disc can make events similar to these happen. My copy of GTA3 on the PS2 is scratched to f**k, causing all sorts of barmy glitches, like buildings and textures disappearing.

I haven't had any real problems with Vice CIty, but GTA3 has crashed quite a lot when I go to my garage to save.

Only bug I've come across in Vice city is once I found my character couldn't run holding a pistol, every time I moved instead of running he did this spastic sideways jump thing that made him shoot all round the scenery like a crazed leper. I reloaded the game and found everything to be normal again though, very strange.

Lepers don't behave in such ways. They know better.

*sees an arm fly in front of his face*

...I stand corrected.

The only thing you need for the Deathrow mission is your trusty shotgun. But Vice City, I've had it crash on me 3 times but I've had no problems with GTA3.
