Surely this post should be in the computer rated forum?

It's the best game for ages, any platform....

You can do rolling burnouts, and donuts in pretty much everything, especially the bikes, managed a 500 metre wheelie over the weekend, had crocket and tubbs after me, coppers using stingers trying to stop me, and even managed to jump a complete block of buildings on a bike.....

Bring it on !

Come on Paul, you must remember Miami Vice, Vice City (you might figure it out from the title) is based in a similar city to Miami (I've been a few times, and it is pretty similar!!!), and the two main characters in Miami Vice were Sonny Crocket, and was it Recardo Tubbs ?, anyway both set in the eighties, with all the 80's songs you can imagine...

Who's got the furthest anyway, I can't seem to do the RC helicopter mission, so I've avoided that, got the speedboat, hung out of the chopper picking the guards off, and I'm now struggling to steal the tank... but I think I've got that sussed...

Mr Manchester, I know there are cheats out there, I've seen something like 50 cheats on the web, but that's not the point is it, anyway done the tank mission now, pretty easy when you think about it, it all depends on how you approach the problem.

hehe u guys aint seen nothing yet, all the missions mentioned so far are **** easy! compared to those directly after the 1st tank mission Goto the phones and do the 'Autocide' mission hard as u like! Well for a phone mission anyway Saving Lance from torture was a toughy. Tip for this one, ram your car into the waiting cubans car, ie bail from the car whilst its on the move, then let loose with grenades or a rocket launcher The RC plane is feckin hard to control as well

Cheats ? Bah, you should be ashamed !!!

Worth getting to the pizza place on the first Island and getting on the pizza scooter around the back. Finish the mission, which is fecking hard!, and you'll be rewarded with a permanent 150% life (ie., not reset to 100% after you save).

Mr manchester
get a flame thrower and just start burning all cars ,police,people,bikes,ambulance etc etc.
this is how i did it

I have just done the bit where its like Speed and you cant drive slow or stop in the car because a mad fan who is besotted with the group Love fist planted one in their limo!!

Also smashing up the mall was a toughy.I took a bike in there and shot all the shops up on that

fantastic - I started playing it last night and am already getting the silent treatment from the growler (it doesn't help that I didn't make it home the night before that due to lager )

thumbs up to whoever suggested the optic cable into the surround sound amp - it sounds terrific (although this also does not endear the game to said growler)

I'm now up to the bit where you have to abduct 2 cops,steal their uniforms and plant a bomb in the mall,all this is with the place swarming with loads of cops!!!

had one go and that was it, instant death

Also just bought a pole dancing club

My mate brought his mem card round last night and he's played for over 20hours!!!!!still only 30% through the game!!!

funny things he's got are a cab firm which makes you money,a printing press that prints off dodgy notes and a ice cream van that sells drugs and makes you some cash!!!

what a brilliant game!!!!
how do they think up all these things!
game of the year for me!
