Hey.

Has anyone here got Vice City for PC? If yes, like it?

I got it today, and well, it totally kicks...well...you know...ass :c)

The graphics are much better then the PS2 version, and there is no slow down. I never liked Vice City on PS2, but now it's out on PC, I love it. The coach is great, and the ambulance rocks. Only completed a few missions. How do you find out how much of the game has been completed?

That is all. Need any help, ask in here etc.

Rock on Rockstar!

I completed it about a week after getting it. Well, not 100%, more like under 50%, but I did the main story, saw the ending. Not really inspired to go back and complete the porn missions or do all the rampages. I'll do them later on.

Game was very good though, much easier than GTA3.

Yeah, i finished it today. Fun game and thinking back the missions were really good but quite easy. The hard ones were hard because they were badly designed and could be completed by doing them repeatedly till u got lucky. Hope next one has lots more missions. And a better feeling of being a mob boss. Why do you still do all the dirty work?

without sounding smug I didn't find the game that challenging. some of the missions were quite frankly ridiculous but for the most part it was fairly straight forward. I finished it and thought there must be more missions.

there better be a whole lot more in gta4



still its always fun to load it up, kill a copper, and see how long you can last before death ...

Ah, thanks.

Can you do the RC Helicopter mission? Bloody annoying. Might give it another go since I've mastered flying big helicopters.

Drive as fast as you can on say a PCJ 600 (easiest one to do it on) and hold turret down which is 6 on the numpad as default. Like pulling up in a plane. Use look left or right to check you are actually doing one.

I use mouse and keyboard myself.... Personally I prefer them to joypads/joysticks for first and third person titles?

I do use a joystick. Mouse for on foot, keyboard controls for in car or on a bike, joystick for choppers, planes and some tricks on the bikes.

I use keyboard and mouse, and the controls are fine.

As I've got onto the second area, I've got a lot more slow down, but I think I can handle it. Bought nearly all of the properties now, and am not far from completing what has been one of the best PC games I have ever played. And that means something coming from me.
