Vice City is out in exactly one week, but why not fill the time with some trips down a recent memory lane. However, most of you think GTA3 is now boring. So, I have prepared a list of fun activities to do in Liberty City
Hard Man
What better way to pass the hours than just walking the streets, picking fights with anyone who walks into you, looks a you in a funny way or starts a fight with you. Soon, you’ll be the biggest name in Liberty, and people will flee at the sound of your name.. well, they would, if the game engine was programmed to allow it..
Regular Joe
Why not head over to Shoreside, take over a house, steal a Taxi and work like everyone else does. You spend all day and early night taxiing, before picking up a hooker and taking her back to yours. A great day in the life of a Liberty City hooker
Listen to the radio
Instead of going to work, just drive around all day and listen to the radio. Sample the delights of Chatterbox, Jah Jah, or if you want an excuse to get off work give yourself a headache with MSX.
Helping Hand around the city
Be a Taxi Driver in the morning, a fireman in the afternoon and a policeman at night. Simply steal a Fire truck, a cop car and a Taxi and hide them in your Staunton hideout. Soon, the whole city will rejoice to the name of.. man in unchanged clothes.
Stalking
Pick a pedestrian, and follow them round their day. Actually, this is a good way to test the game engine, as you learn that each individual has their own daily pattrn, and ever wondered where they all go at night..?
See the sights
Why not just walk/drive around, taking in the pleasures of Liberty City. You can explore the delights of the Mafia mansion, the Casino and the Harbour, and if you get bored of dry land why not take to the air or the water in a boat or in your impossible to control Dodo plane?
Mad man
The one most of you probably do anyway, why not spend your time causing chaos. Park a car in the middle of the road, wait for a traffic jam then throw 2 or 3 grenades around. Or perhaps just go on your own killing spree. Remember, in Liberty City, can’t isn’t a word
Player..
Drive around in a flash convertible, letting everyone see how cool you are. You can even pick up hookers and take them for a drive, pretending they are your girlfriend. Everyone will envy you, because we’d all make our women dress like that if we had the courage to ask. You can also park in front of the pikey cars, and look at them from your expensive car looking as smug as ever.
Complete gimp
Why not park a series of cars across a road, then prepare 9 ish on the pavement. When the cars get in a jam, drive round and completely seal them in. What fun!
One man gang
“Don’t work for no-one, won’t work for no-one” is your motto. Instead of sucking up to the gang leaders, create your own gang. With one man in it. Then run up to the Triads, Mafioso, Yardies or Colombians and beat up as many of them as you can. Stealing one of their cars and parking it over another gang members dead body is a good way to annoy people.
Stuntman
If you live for the excitement, go around and find the biggest and most outrageous jumps in town. Try driving over the bridge, heading from Staunton to Portland, and stick in the middle of the road once you get past the streetlights. Then drive into the little concrete bit and prepare to fly! Try this in a tank and fire when in the air for cool matrix style tanking.
Assassin
Pick one man on the street, preferably a gang leader. Follow from a safe distance, then go in for the kill.
Millionaire
Why not spend all your time getting richer than a really rich man. Mugging tramps is the best way to do this, or earn it honestly as a cabbie. The choice is yours!
Meet the people
There are many people in Liberty City. Why not wander around, taking a look at all the different people. Remember not to stare at the hookers for too long though..
Swimming lesson
Why not steal a car near the waterfront, then get back out again. The driver will get back in, so get your own car and ram him into the sea!
Missions
When all else fails, get a taste of what Vice will be like by just doing the missions again.

wow! thats fun! not! Go to my toilet!
Try driving the Dodo through the streets :-)
why does it go black?
yes that is where Ray the bent cop gave you all the missions
If you go to Staunton there's a park near your pad and in it is a sort of dip of 2 staircases leading to a toilet room with the door blown off. You can go in! Sometimes it suddenly goes black?
on slow-mo the M16 wins hands down for being the best gun to use.
I cant play to with the MP5, and the SWAT teams now arrive in helicopters armed with MP5s.

Using timed car bombs in mid-air (during unique jumps) looks cool...
The EASY TO CONTROL Dodo.. There is so much potential, flying through the "loop" at the Portland beach, flying low whilst having 5 police stars and watching the FBI cars wreak havoc below. You could also try landing on various different buildings, or seeing how high you can fly.
But then again, you could just play Timesplitters 2 until you get motion sickness :}.

You forgot knocking people over with the hose on the fire engine. That's the funnest thing there.
Or, even better, put the slow-mo cheat on a few times so everything is super-slow. Then stand still and create havoc with uzi and base-ball bat to that tune from Chariots of Fire.
Time the 'Dummm-dummm's' to the bat srikes or explosions. That just rules.
No contest
