      Eh. He was a bit all over the place, character-wise. He’ll want nothing to do with drugs one minute, and the next, he’ll be planing out his drug empire.
      And he clearly did a lot of drugs. Just look at what happened to him in between games.

    One thing i really liked about VCS is how Rockstar went overboard on the color pallete. Everything from the neon lights, sky, sunlight, buildings etc. is so much more vibrant, colorful and bright compared to VC. I love it.
    Besides a few gameplay additions like the ability to do drivebys, swim, ride jetskis etc. the original VC still is the superior game imo.

    -Both characters become corrupt trying to do the good thing.
    -Both characters have family members that make their lives harder for no good reason.
    -Both characters turn to the life of crime to provide for their families.
    -Both characters deserved more then what they've been dealt with.

    What also wasn't mentioned, besides helicopters, you can fly a plane as well, that can be spawned on water at the pier of the last safehouse, you can rob stores whenever you want, and there are several options during fighting: light punch/jab with circle, hard punch/uppercut with X, and grab and throw people with triangle, or hit them while holding them. You can even do an instant kill by breaking necks with triangle from the back. And with the "issue" of close enemies during shooting, you can kick them away and then shoot them. Also you can go to a Phil Collins concert anytime you want. I can go on even more ! My favourite GTA... 😪

    I like the fact that Victor receives just a little amount of money for most of his jobs. It's explained right in the beginning, when he tells that he's helping his brother Pete (this is where the rest of the money is going). I know it stops making sense once Lance and Vic gets rich; anyway it makes your character more realistic and the experience more immersive.

      you think *Boomshine Blowout* blowout was hard. Well try THESE mission instead:
      - *Jive Drive* : its easy on PSP due to "steady aim" feature, but its fcking hard on PS2 due to wobbly analogue + lack of "steady aim"
      - *Hose The Hoes* : put out the fire from your Brothel. Worse yet, the Girl's health deplete so fast & it could lead to mission failure if you're not fast enough to put out the fire
      - *Unfriendly Competition* : first part no problem. BUT, the real deal on these mission is during the Pool shootout sequence. this place is crawled with enemies & most of them are using AK's + Uzi's and it could nerve racking for beginner
      - *High Wire* : catch the moving car with magnet attached chopper. Damn
      - *Purple Haze* : retrieve the drugs with time limit, CHECK. disorienting visual screw, CHECK. cops intervene, CHECK
      - *The Exchange* : same as Jive Drive, but this time using Sniper
      - *Domo Arigato Domestoboto* : CRACK THE SAVE (code 8423)
      - *Light My Pyre* : you have to protect Lance + he's driving horribly & you could accidentally kill him if you're not careful

      Same. Both characters got killed in ways the protagonist didn’t wanna be involved in. Vic didn’t wanna be involved with the drugs trade yet did anyway and it got him killed. Johnny didn’t wanna be involved with Ashley and her meth addiction, yet he did anyway, causing him to grow an obsession with Ashley, leading to him confronting Trevor and dying. And the sad part about this is, it’s the protagonists’ closest friends that got them killed. Lance got Vic involved in the drugs trade and Ashley got Johnny caught up in the meth addiction

    After all the bull$#it he's been through, with the betrayal of Jerry Martinez, their conflict with the Mendez brothers, with the ongoing problems he's having with Lance and the death of his love Louis, no doubt in my mind he was done with everyone and Vice City.

    IMO probably the best game of this generation of GTA, which says a lot.

    There's also planes in the game and an amphibious ATV called Splitz-6 ATV. Once you finish the Beach Patrol side-mission you can swim forever without losing any stamina or dying. There's a trick where you can save the game, then restart the console and you won't get raided or attacked by any gangs anymore until you attack them again.
    EDIT: There's also BMXs in this game and quad bikes AND a special unique helicopter that you can buy from the top of your Suite called Little Willie - it has machine guns on it.

    Love VCS, it's in my top 3 GTA games (behind the original VC which is my all-time favourite). Massively enjoyable, unlike LCS which I've tried to complete multiple times but it's just too boring. And I feel like they one-upped the atmosphere of Vice City by putting neon lighting everywhere and having an arguably better soundtrack with Phil Collins. In The Air Tonight should be in every GTA game. I was hoping VCS would come to PS4 as an upscaled classic and despite getting classification for it, it just never ended up releasing which is a shame. I would've loved to play it in HD. I guess I could use PCSX2.
