I'm not as far into the game as you are (and still getting a bit frustrated with the crouch button when the action hots up) but I'd suggest you take a peek at one of the walkthroughs on www.gamefaqs.com - it's probably covered there and may tell you what to do next.

After killing Lance, go back down to the level of your save room(in fact I would jump off the side of the building, bazooka the limos and the thiefing gits going in an out of the front door, and then in through the front door, but you have to go back to the level of the save room), you will be chased if you go back down the stairs. Then there will be a cut scene, and you have to kill Sonny whos on the ground floor. I just bazookad the ground floor and that was it. Quite easy in the end, but spent ages trying to figure out a way to do it.

Oh and when you do go back down to the level of the save room, go to the opposite side(not diagonally if you see what I mean) of the building to the entrance to go up to roof, else they keep spawning and coming down the passage

what was the point of recruiting a bl00dy getaway driver then?
and what good is a gang of so called experts when you can out perform them all at their areas of expertise?

don't you hate it when games do that?

Hmm Im only on the biker mission (@ the Greasy Chopper LOL) doing the chaos-meter. Can get it nearly there but every time I either die or run out of time. Any specific tips for getting this done as I cant do the next Love Juice Mission until I do?

Oh yeah I dont have a Minigun, bazooka or grenade launcher yet. Any hints where to get them?

No links to walkthroughs please.

Cheers,
Simon.

P1 ,you will get the bazooka,minigun,remote bombs etc when you do the (i think he's called)Phils missions at the yard.near the end of the mission part of the game ,driving while drunk etc.
sunshine autos is near the airport.If you head down the dual carrigeway towards the docks take the last right hander before you reach the dock area,turn right after that and its on your right.Big glass building.

There are some challenges to do after you buy it,collecting loads of cars,street races etc.Done em all

Done all the challenges and all the missions,trying to do ambulance missions and fire missions,done pizza,police,ice cream etc etc.

still finding the hidden objects,rampages and unique jumps

Top game.

If you run out of time on the biker mission you can just restart it, and I believe the higher the number of stars, the quicker the chaos meter goes up.

P1,

The chaos mission for the biker gang is dead easy (when you work out what makes the meter go up)
start the mission and turn left out of the bar (if you have your back to it as if you walked out the door)
follow the road round to the left. then on the right is a hotel type place with a carpark behind it. go through to the carpark and pick a car that is out of the way. start shooting it and you'll notice that the meter goes up. Just keep shooting it... uzi is best. The meter will continue to go up even after the car has blown up
The reason for doing it in the carpark is that it keeps the disturbance to a minimum

Hope it helps

Mojo

You need to complete the protection racket. To do this you need to Kill Diaz and take over his mansion, then do all missions in the mansion. It will tell you when its done and you will be able to collect $5k per day from the front stairs. It then tells you that you can now buy properties in that area and they all go from red to green IIRC.

You will also need $120k to buy it. I bought the Film Studios on Prawn Island as my first property. Some funny mission so far. The film director Steven Scott is voiced by Dennis Hopper who does an excellent job.

Which bit u trying - the one where u have to shoot the shop windows? If u take the PCG 600 Sports Bike you should get to North Mall in no time at all and have loads of time to shoot the windows. Its hard aiming ur guy at the right angle to shoot the windows and if you stand too close they wont break.

Vice City is massive. Once you get up in a chopper you get a grasp on the sheer scale of this game. I still havent been to half of the places. I darent buy any more properties as I have like 5-6 missions to do at the mo.

Oh yeah top tip for finding a free sparrow chopper as I stumbled on it by pure chance.

The level where u get a cop to follow you into a garage to nick his clothes. Go to the street and carry on forward towards the star symbol in an alley with bushes on both sides (you have to go straight over at the cross junction. Take a left into the garden and lo and behold a free chopper for you.
