Walkthrough
This write-up stores the main and phone missions of GTA Vice City in relatively good detail. I attached pictures for the Sunshine Autos A + B Auto Collection mission. It does not include the locations of the unique jumps and the hidden packages, those will show up in a later article.
Lawyer
Tha Party (100$) Difficulty 1/5
Let's go to Rafael Ruhás's shop and change clothes. Once we've changed we can get hold of a nice bike. Let's ride to Ocean Beach, step into the purple marker here and watch the video through. When we're done with that, a girl will follow us, and we have to take her to the Pol Position Club.
Back Alley Brawl (200$) Difficulty 1/5
Let's go to the Malibu Club and visit Kent Paul. When we're done here, let's find the Chef on Ocen Drive, kill him, then take his phone. Now we can receive calls. Suddenly we notice a black man, his name is Lance. A conversation starts in which he criticizes us, then says he'd like to help. We naturally refuse his help. Suddenly three Chefs appear behind us, Lance gives us his pistol, then tells us to follow him. You don't have to kill the Chefs. Let's get into Lance's white Infernus, then go to the AmmuNation, where he shows us that we should buy weapons. Let's go back to the Hotel.
Jury Fury (400$) Difficulty 1/5
As we step out the door, a car runs over the man standing outside. We have nothing else to do, just pick up the hammer and go to the place marked on the map. When we get there we can meet a man who is talking to a woman. Let's hit the gentleman a bit (don't kill him). Our guy gets into his car and tries to drive off, and then a bigger car comes. Let's step up to our guy's car and smash it up (the car, that is :)). If we did it right, the man sitting in the car runs away. After that let's go to the next point we see on the map. The car there has to be smashed up too.
Riot (1000$) Difficulty 1/5
Let's go to Rafael's nearest brand shop and buy a worker outfit. When we're done with that, grab a car and drive nicely to the place shown on the map. When we get there we can see a few good working men too :) Let's go in among them and hit a few (min 4.), and with that we've started a mass brawl. When that's done, let's go over to the vans and smash up the cars.
Colonel Cortez
Treachorus swine (250$) Difficulty 1/5
Cortez tasks us with taking out one of his men who betrayed him. For the mission we get a really cute chainsaw from him. Armed with that, let's drive to the point marked on the map, then drop into the building, where our appearance causes no small surprise among the people inside. The traitor flees the building, his men attack us, but they can't be any particular trouble for us, so let's cut them in two without any pangs of conscience :) After we're done with them, let's chase the traitor, and chop him up with the chainsaw like his buddies. Once that's done, our wanted level jumps to two, and next to the house (where our victim just was) we can find a police star, I guess there's no need to explain what to do. Meanwhile a new point appears on the map, which is the pay'n spray. (I hope I don't have to explain what that is :))
Mall shootout (500$) Difficulty 2/5
In this mission we have to meet one of Cortez's French technicians in a shopping center and get from him the chip that is of special importance to Cortez. Let's go to the shopping center, where we use the escalator and talk to the Frenchman on the first floor. A cutscene follows in which soldiers disturb our business, and the Frenchman escapes on his bike. Let's not pay much attention to the soldiers occupying the shopping center, rather follow the fleeing technician, deal with him however we like :) , and deliver the chip to its owner, Cortez.
Guardian angels (1000$) Difficulty 2/5
Cortez puts us in charge of overseeing a transaction. Let's go to the parking garage marked on the map and pick up our weapon there. After we've done that, the black man we know from the chef mission appears, this time he even introduces himself, his name is Lance. Let's get into his car, then drive to the site of the upcoming deal, take our assigned position here, crouch down and wait. (With a weapon in hand) The clients show up, it almost seems like everything is fine, when a few gentlemen show up in a car... They don't want to ask us for an autograph, so after they get out of their car, let's blow their heads off with a clear heart. Then they show up again... and again... and again... and once more... Bah! After we're done with the attackers, two guys on bikes appear on the horizon, and one of them snatches the bag from Diaz's hand. Our task will be to get back from him the package that doesn't belong to him. After the animation, let's hop on the bike the one guy fell off of. Let's follow the other biker, and if we have an UZI, then at the most suitable moment, when we're next to the biker, let's shoot him up. :) (This can also be done by getting into a car and running him over) After we're done with him, grab the bag and take it back to the place marked on the map.
vSir, Yes Sir! (2000$) Difficulty 3/5
In this mission Cortez tasks us with stealing a tank from a military convoy, which sounds easy at first. Right at the start of the mission let's check our weapon stock to see whether we still have the helicopter gun. If we do, it will be easier for us, if not, let's go to the nearest AmmuNation and get the following items: Kruger (min 400 rounds), Body Armor (bulletproof vest/shield). When we're done with that, let's go to the place marked on the map. (the map shows the convoy) Let's stop at a cover in front of the convoy with a weapon in hand, then first shoot up the soldier transport trucks, then the rest one by one. When we've shot everyone up, the tank guy comes out of the tank after a while (the poor guy doesn't know what happened to his buddies :]), shoot him. Let's get into the tank, and we immediately get a wanted level of 3. The tank has to be delivered to a garage nearby (let's hurry with it, because there's a timed detonator hidden in the tank :))
All Hands On Decks! (5000$) Difficulty 2/5
Cortez asks us to defend his yacht from a few unwanted men dressed in black. Let's pick up the Kruger rifle on the deck of the yacht, we'll have to wipe out the men with this. First, smaller and bigger boats/ships will come from behind the yacht, shoot all of them up. Let's be careful that they don't get onto our ship unnoticed. Later a helicopter will come, from which men jump out, I think there are 2 of those. Then an Apache comes, shoot this one up with the same Kruger weapon too. When we're done with the job, Cortez thanks us for our help, tells us that he's leaving the city and asks us to look after Mercedes. As a token of his gratitude we get a nice little speedboat from him.
Avery Carrington
Four Iron (500$) Difficulty 1/5
We have to start at Rafael's again, this time exceptionally we have to put on a golf outfit. After getting dressed, let's go to the golf course, it's marked on the map. When we enter, all our weapons stay out on the street. On the golf course we find a golf club right at the gate, we'll have to smash up our opponents with this :)) Let's hop into the Caddy (golf cart) and drive to the point marked on the map. Here we have to deprive the golfing man of his life :)
Demolition man (1000$) Difficulty 3/5
Avery tasks us with destroying a building that's in his way, let's be nice guys and help him :) Let's get into the "topfun" minibus a block away. From this vehicle we have to control the remote-controlled helicopter, with which our task will be the following: we have to place 4 sticks of dynamite at the places marked on the map. One of them is on the ground floor, while the remaining three can be found on different levels of the building. Before we pick up the dynamite with the helicopter, let's fly around with it a bit, it will be hard to get used to the controls. It doesn't matter if we blow up the helicopter, we don't die, and Avery, who gives the mission, isn't far either, so until we feel like remote-controlled helicopter champions, let's not jump into the mission, because quite funny words will come out of our mouths after the helicopter has done something other than what we want for the 10th time.
Controls:
- Num pad 9 - forward
- Num pad 6 - backward
- Num pad 1 - turn left(!)
- Num pad 2 - turn right(!)
- W - ascend
- S - descend
Let's maneuver the dynamite to the places where it belongs. Watch out! On the 2nd and 3rd floors there are cops with pistols, while on the lower levels crazy workers with hammers are lurking, whom we can simply cut to pieces with the helicopter's propeller.
Two bit hit (2500$) Difficulty 1/5
Avery asks us to disguise ourselves as Cubans and kill a Costa Rican gang leader, stirring up a gang war between these two groups (by the way, in the intro animation you can spot Donald Love, familiar from GTA 3, busily taking notes :)). Let's go nicely to Rafael, where we can put on the Cuban outfit. Then let's go to the spot marked on the map, and when we get there, run him over with a car (an arrow shows him), then go back to Little Haiti.
Ricardo Diaz
Tha Chase (1000$) Difficulty 1/5
We find Diaz at a rather weak moment, and our welcome won't be too warm. He assigns us to chase a traitor. All we have to do is go to the place marked on the map, go up to the window there, and meanwhile the man we're looking for has gotten behind us. As soon as he sees us he gets visibly scared (why??! :)) and starts running toward the roof. Let's follow him, and when we get up to the roof he starts shooting at us (he doesn't hit), then he takes off running across the roof. We have to follow here too (I'd note in parentheses that on the roof there are 2 places where we can only cross on a wooden ramp, so watch out that we don't fall off). Toward the end our man jumps down from the roof and drives off with his friend. Let's jump on the bike standing there and follow. (the traitor must not be killed) During the chase he shoots at us, and if we're skilled he won't hit us. The mission ends when the guy escapes into a ruined house.
Phnom Penh '86 (2000$) Difficulty 1/5
Arriving at Diaz's, we run into an old acquaintance, Lance, who introduces himself under the name Quinton. The point of the mission is that we have to get back the money stolen from Diaz from the traitor. After we get on the helicopter with Lance, he tells us his full name: Lance Vance. All we have to do is take out every moving person from the helicopter :) When we're done with that, the helicopter lands and drops us off with a nice little weapon in our hands. Let's go into the house and shoot the heads off everyone in there with all our heart, and when we're done, once we reach the roof, let's collect the money.
The Fastest Boat (400$) Difficulty 2/5
In this mission we're tasked with stealing a boat from Vice Port. Let's go to the point marked on the map and step into the closed-off area, where we'll meet a bunch of people who apparently don't really like us, so let's not pay much attention to them (let's run past them). Nearby there is a workshop with 3-4 mechanics, let's take them out, and next to them there is a control panel with which we can lower the boat into the water. With that done, let's run to the boat, and then we've been enriched with a level 3 wanted level. Let's set off with the boat to the point marked on the map.
Supply & Demand (1000$) Difficulty 1/5
In this mission we have to go with the boat that we stole in the "The Fastest Boat" mission. First of all let's go to the boat, the map shows it, and here a short conversation starts between Lance and Tommy. Our task is to drive the boat to the yacht. When we've done that, Lance and Tommy switch places, that is, Lance drives and we shoot :)
Rub Out (5000$) Difficulty 2/5
In this mission we're not with Diaz but against Diaz, the point of the mission is to bump him off, and M16 machine guns will help us with this, and of course Lance, who delivers these tools to us. :) Let's head inside Diaz's house, and kill every moving person. Let's look after Lance so nothing serious happens to him. We can't go in through the main entrance because it's locked, so let's head to the back toward the pools. When we're there we can see a kind of small indoor pool, where you can go left and right. Let's choose the right side. Let's go all the way as far as we can, we get to a big lobby, where there's a big staircase, and there are a lot of people here, let's kill them all. Finally Diaz comes, let's show him what the M16 can do.. When we've shot enough into him he collapses, then starts to crawl around. A cutscene starts, the point of which is that Lance and Tommy shoot Diaz in the head :).
Kent Paul
Death Row (0$) Difficulty 2/5
Kent Paul reveals to us that Lance has been caught, and our task is to free Lance. Let's go to the junkyard marked on the map, this place is full of fans who only want us :) Let's shoot the 2-3 guards standing at the gate, then moving inward, let's take out the people. At the very back there is a garage with a few people, let's kill them, Lance is there too, tied to a chair, let's go over to him. A conversation starts, and when it's over, get into the car next to the garage and take Lance to the hospital.
Tommy Vercetti
Shakedown (2000$) Difficulty 1/5
To boost our own business, we have to wreck a few shops in the shopping mall marked on the map. A UZI is recommended for this mission. Once we've entered the shopping mall, there are shops waiting to be wrecked on the ground floor and on the first floor. Just shoot out the glass shop windows.
Bar Brawl (4000$) Difficulty 2/5
Lance notifies us, of course only after a lot of questioning, that there's a problem, because bars don't want to pay protection money. Our job is to go with 2 of our men to the place marked on the map, and kill the two guards here. When we're done with that, let's talk to the owner, he tells us where the security guards are and so on. Let's go to the place marked on the map, the security guys hang out here, let's kill them all. Unfortunately I have bad news, there are two left, and they flee on a motorbike. Let's go after them and kill them as we please. :)
Cop Land (1000$) Difficulty 2/5
In this mission we have to blow up one of the shops of the shopping mall we trashed earlier, with Lance's help. The entrance of the mall is guarded by one cop, and the entrance of the shop by two soldiers. So that we're not so conspicuous, we have to put on a cop uniform. We can do this by getting a level 1 wanted level and driving into the garage shown on the map (of course so that the cop comes in too). As the garage door opens we can see that we're in a cop uniform. The picture is still not complete, we also need a police car. If the police car that's in the garage doesn't suit you, then on the left side of the garage we can find a brand new one. Now let's go to the shopping mall, go in through the door, then turn right, there's the shop waiting to be blown up. Let's go in, and as soon as we've armed the bomb, run out. After the explosion, head home. Unfortunately we got a level 4 wanted level :( In front of our house a money counter appears, with which we can earn max 5000$ a day.
Keep Your Friends Close (30000$) Difficulty 4/5
We've arrived at the last mission of the game's story. Before the mission it doesn't hurt to shop at Phil's for a Minigun, with which we can make a lot of needless trouble easier. At the start of the mission Lance tells us that the Forellis are on our necks. Tommy tries to trick Sonny's "friend" with fake money, but Lance then tells us with a straight face that he's already on Sonny's side. In the first part of the mission we have to defend the safe from the mobsters, the easiest way to do this is to go out of the room, up to the 2nd floor, and from here defend the room and the stairs nicely with the minigun. After a while a message appears at the bottom of the screen that it's time to put Lance in his place. Let's follow our "friend", who shoots at us from the 2nd floor, and let's shred him with the minigun. Let's go back to the room with the safe, and after the animation let's finish off Sonny too. We've successfully completed GTA: Vice City!
Love Fist
vLove Juice (2000$) Difficulty 2/5
As it turned out from the conversation, the guys need drugs, which we can get from the nearest drug dealer :) Let's go to the marked point, then stand on the marker (with a car, bike). Let's honk once, then the dealer comes over to us, we give him the money, but we don't get anything from him. The dealer flees to the right on his bike. Let's go after him, kill him and take the drugs from him. Meanwhile we get a phone call that we should go pick up Mercedes. Let's go to her place, find a fast car or bike there, then take her to Love Fist.
Psycho Killer (4000$) Difficulty 1/5
Our task is very easy, get into the car parked in front of Love Fist, then drive to the point marked on the map, where a raging crowd greets us. One of the "fans" shoots one of the security guards, then takes off running. Be careful chasing him, because suddenly a large vehicle comes out in front of us and blocks the whole road, just like in the movies :). Then when we've caught up, let's kill him.
Publicity Tour (8000$) Difficulty 1/5
Love Fist notifies us that they think psycho killer is still alive. They ask us to take them to the concert. Everything seems fine until they turn on the tape player. Psycho Killer lets us know that he hid a bomb in the car. The bomb is speed sensitive, that is, if we go too slowly it explodes. The task is to keep driving continuously, don't stop, don't slow down much. The bomb is defused within a few minutes. As soon as they're done with the bomb, let's go to the Love Fist concert marked on the map.
Mitch Baker
Alloy Wheels of Steel ($1000) Difficulty 1/5
Baker asks us to show how well we can ride a bike, and of course we're nice guys so we'll show him. Hop on a bike and get to the starting line :) There's nothing special to do, you just have to go through every checkpoint. It's really easy to come first, because the competitors are pretty lame. :)
Messing With The Men ($2000) Difficulty 2/5
We have to show Baker what tough guys we are. In short, we have to make chaos in the city, and this is how we can do it. We need an Ingram (it's good because we can shoot with it while running too). Keep shooting with the Ingram and run across the city. Shoot every moving person and car. Don't bother with the cops, don't stop to shoot it out with them. Happy running :)
Hog Tied ($4000) Difficulty 2/5
Baker hires us to get back his stolen bike. Let's find a fast bike, then ride to the point marked on the map, where we have to jump over using a staircase, onto the roof of the house opposite. Once that's done, jump down from the roof and go to the garage where the bike is, the map shows this. Take the bike back to Baker.
Umberto Robina (Cubans)
Stunt Boat Challenge ($1000) Difficulty 2/5
This time a Cuban amigo asks us to show our speedboat skills. If we pull this off, we'll be real big tough guys :) Go through every checkpoint with the speedboat.
Cannon Fodder ($2000) Difficulty 2/5
Our task is the following: get a big vehicle that fits 3-4 people, go to the point marked on the map, where 3 Cubans get into our car. Then drive to the Haitians' territory (marked on the map), get out here, then shoot down every moving Haitian. Watch out! There's a sniper on the roof, take him out. Go into the warehouse building, right away on the right there's a van, get into it. Take the van to the point marked on the map.
Naval Engagement ($4000) Difficulty 2/5
First equip ourselves with Body Armor and some automatic weapon, then go to Rico at Vice Port, where he's already waiting for us. Get into the speedboat. It takes us to the Haitians, where our job will be to steal drugs from them. Shoot the people on the boats and on the "pier". When we reach the shore, carefully take out everyone standing in our way, and when that's done, pick up the bags, then with the car parked behind the house go to the Pay'n Spray. (of course only if the cops are chasing you) Take the bags to the Cubans.
Trojan Voodoo ($10000) Difficulty 2/5
Get a Haitian gang car (Voodoo), then go to the point marked on the map, where we can meet our Cuban friends. After they set off, follow them. Go into the Haitian warehouse area, park at the given spot. Take out the enemy nearby, then go into the building. We have to arm one bomb upstairs and two on the ground floor. Once that's done, run toward the gate where we came in. Unfortunately this is closed, turn right at the gate, then go up the stairs on the side of the building onto the roof.
Phil Cassidy
Gun Runner ($2000) Difficulty 2/5
In this mission we have to steal the weapons from the Mexican dealers' car, then blow up their vehicle, crippling their business. In front of the Patriot we find a detonator, pick it up, get into the car, then drive toward one of the points shown on the map. When we're close, place a detonator on the road, then when the car gets there blow it up. Usually only one of them explodes. Get back into our car, then shoot the Mexicans' remaining car from there. After the explosion a few weapons fall off the flatbed, pick these up. We get a notification that the Mexicans called for help. The help arrives on little bikes, which aren't really worth much until they get off them. :) Head off in the other direction, place the detonator the same way, then blow it up. Shoot up the other one the same way, then collect the weapons. Head back to the place marked on the map.
Boomshine Saigon ($4000) Difficulty 2/5
Uncle Phil has been huffing a lot of thinner today. He called us because he wants to show off his new bomb. In the intro video we can see that the remote control doesn't really want to work, so Phil goes over to the bomb, tinkers with something, then it blows up. Because of the explosion his right hand sadly got torn off. Our task is to take him to the hospital before he dies. Driving isn't that easy, because we got a little whiff of the thinner too. When we get to the hospital Phil comes up with the idea that we should take him somewhere else, because there are lots of cops here. Drive him to the place marked on the map.
Auntie Poulet (Haitians)
Juju Scramble ($1000) Difficulty 2/5
Go to the place marked on the map. Before going up to the roof, park next to the building with some fast car, then head to the roof. As soon as we pick up the bag, a S.W.A.T. guy jumps down behind us, run away, then get into the car and collect both packages (3 in total)
Bombs Away! ($2000) Difficulty 2/5
Go to the point marked on the map, where we sit in the "topfun" van. This RC plane is controlled the same way as we know from the Demolition Man mission, we have 3 of them available for the mission. Fly the plane to the Cubans, which we can see on the map, then drop the bombs, we can aim at the car, boats, it doesn't matter, because we have to bomb everything.
Dirty Lickin's ($5000) Difficulty 1/5
In this mission we also have to thin out the Cubans, all this with a sniper rifle, which we can pick up in Poulet's house. Go to the point marked on the map, which is a roof, we can get up here using a staircase. Looking down from the roof we see a nice little fight. Shoot every Cuban you see, when they've dwindled a lot, a bit of reinforcement comes, and more and more... Wipe them all out.
Missions Tied to Properties
Malibu Club
Price: $120000 Income: 10000/day
No Escape? ($1000) Difficulty 2/5
Our task is to free Cam Jones from the VCPD HQ building (police). Go to the police station not far from the Malibu Club. Hide our weapon, then go into the station. Here turn left right away and put on the police uniform. At the end of the hallway turn right, this is where the access card is that we can free Jones with. Go back and at the first door turn right, the cells are here. Start heading out, shoot the cops who attack us. By now our wanted level is at level 4, quickly go to the Pay'n Spray and get the car repainted. Once that's done, calmly take Jones home.
The Shootist ($2000) Difficulty 2/5
Go to the Downtown AmmuNation, where we meet Phil Cassidy. Tommy tells Phil that he'd like to help him with his work. Phil wants to make sure we're not greenhorns and that we can shoot, and who could turn that down?! :) It's recommended to set the mouse sensitivity low, for accurate aiming. We have to stand our ground in three trials. We have to collect 60 points in total for this mission to count as a success.
The Driver ($3000) Difficulty 3/5
In this mission we have to beat the slightly nervous Hilary in a car race. But to keep things from being too simple for us, his car is faster and on top of that we get two stars for illegal racing, so we have to beat him under these conditions. At the 5th checkpoint try to push his car off, if that works, things will be a notch easier for us.
The Job ($50000) Difficulty 2/5
After we've talked over the plan, our little team sets off. Our first trip leads to the bank. Our task is to find the safe, it's on the 3rd floor, don't kill the old man hiding under the desk on the first floor, he's the manager, we'll still need him. Take the manager up to the 3rd, then go down to the ground floor and see what's going on. Soon we hear the S.W.A.T. guys have surrounded the bank, after a while the ceiling collapses in a few places and they slide down on ropes from there. Take them out, then leave the bank. A short cutscene follows in which one of our guys, if I remember right Cam, gets killed. Get into the taxi and drive to the Pay'n Spray.
Print Works
Price: $70000 Income: $8000/day
Spilling The Beans ($2000) Difficulty 2/5
If we want to get to the place marked on the map (that's the Malibu Club) quickly, hop into the taxi parked next to the print works, it'll take us there in no time and it only costs $9. Let's go into the club, where a conversation starts with Ken. Ken tells us that the information about the printing is in the hands of the Triad gang. He also tells us that the Triad gang can be found in the Vice Port harbor. Let's go there and take a few weapons with us. Under the ramp in front of the ship there's a bit of health, we might need it. Let's go up onto the ship, and feel free to shoot the security guards. Let's go up the ladders at the back of the ship, then go to the marker. After we've got the information, let's run off the ship, because the security guards and the police have been alerted. Let's get into our car and go to the nearby Pay'n Spray, where it repaints our car. Now we can calmly go back to our print works, with the valuable information in our hands. :)
Hit the courier ($5000) Difficulty: 2/5
Use a fast car for this mission! Let's go down to the docks, it's important to get there before the helicopter. Our task will be simple: let's kill everyone, grab the bag, then go back to the print works. Because of this the print works earns $8000 a day.
Cap The Collector ($30000) Difficulty 2/5
Sonny Forelli is in town, and he wants his money. For this reason he's sending his men to tax our businesses. We have to send two biker gangs to the happy hunting grounds, and when we're done with that, let's take our money back.
Ice Cream Factory
- Price: $20000
- Income: $3000/day
Distribution ($15/sale) Difficulty 1/5
Our task is to do as much business as possible with the ice cream van. To complete the mission successfully we have to sell ice cream to at least 50 people. Let's be careful with the selling, because if a cop notices that we have too many customers, we get a star from him. If we've sold enough goods, let's go back to our Ice Cream Factory, stand in front of the other ice cream van, then get out.
Taxi Firm
- Price: $40000
- Income: $5000/day
V.I.P. ($1000) Difficulty 1/5
Let's go pick up our first fare, for some reason it's very important that we are the ones who take this passenger to the desired place. As soon as we've stopped at the point marked on the map, let's honk the horn. Our future passenger sets off, but then a driver from a rival company parks next to us, who is also going after our "prey". Unluckily for us, the man gets into the other taxi. Let's go after the taxi and keep forcing it off the road, ram into it, etc. After a while the taxi's passenger gets tired of the constant shaking and switches over to our car. From here on it's easy, take him to the airport.
Friendly Rivalry ($2000) Difficulty 1/5
In Vice City the number of rides our little company gets has dropped a lot. To get the company back on its feet we have to destroy 3 cars of the rival company. The easiest way to do this is shooting them from a car with the UZI.
Cabmegeddon ($5000) Difficulty 2/5
Before the mission let's arm ourselves with some weapon. Let's hop into a taxi, then head to the docks, for Mercedes. Let's stand on the point marked on the map, then honk. Nobody anywhere, where could she be??! Then exactly 6 taxis from the rival company drive in, and then they try to kill us :) We have to hold out for one minute so we don't blow up. Let's drive around in circles, that way we surely won't get into serious trouble. After the minute is up the boss arrives, we have to kill him.
Film Studio
- Price: $60000
- Income: $9000/day
Recruitment Drive ($1000) Difficulty 1/5
To get the business started we'll need an actor, and Candy Suxx is the most perfect for this role. Before the mission let's arm ourselves with some weapon, if we want to finish quickly, then the cannon mountable on the helicopter is the best for this purpose, we can pick it up next to Phil's shack. Let's go to Downtown, to the designated point. Candy arrives, Tommy asks whether she'd like to appear in a film. Of course Candy is in. During the intro we can see that the "fan club" has arrived in a Sentinel. Three of them get out, let's finish them off, and then blow up the car too. Let's go to the pizzeria, here we meet Mercedes, who we also ask whether she'd like to make films. Good thing she's in :). Let's go back to the studio.
Dildo Dodo ($2000) Difficulty 2/5
Let's go behind the Studio, here we can meet an old acquaintance from GTA3, you haven't forgotten Dodo, have you :). Dodo will help with advertising our film. Let's get on with him, then collect the checkpoints, and this starts the dropping of the flyers. Let's try to catch every checkpoint on the first try, because our fuel is limited.
Martha's Mug Shot ($4000) Difficulty 2/5
In this mission we have to take compromising pictures of the future minister candidate, who imagines a better America without porn films. We got a camera, and we have to complete the mission with it. Let's get into the helicopter in the studio's area, then follow Candy. A limousine arrives, and she gets into it. Let's follow it, when they reach the prime minister's house, we can see that she goes up to the pool on the roof and starts a conversation with Alex Shrub. Our task is to find a spot (a rooftop) from where we can see Candy, and once we have that, let's take a few photos of the conversation. We can see that we can boast 4 police stars. Let's quickly go back to the Studio.
G-Spotlight ($8000) Difficulty 3/5
Tommy gets a "sure-fire" idea again to promote the film. For the mission we need a PCJ-600 bike, we'll be jumping from rooftop to rooftop with it. We have to do all this in 14 minutes, because if the sun comes up our little business won't be worth anything. (We have to finish by 7:00) Let's go to the office building marked on the map, go up to the top floor, then jump over to the building opposite, from there on you can already tell where to go :).

Race 1: Terminal Velocity ($400) Difficulty 2/5
Let's come first in the race next to the airport. For this race I think the most suitable car is the Banshee, if we want to cheat a little, then let's drive toward the cars standing on the starting line, then jump out at the last moment, so the car crashes into the ones on the grid and knocks them off course. If we stay in the car and ram them like that, then the race starts.
Race 2: Ocean Drive ($2000) Difficulty 1/5
This race is the easiest in my opinion. At the start let's line up so that we can just fit between the two cars. After the start let's try to avoid the collisions, and if that works, the remaining three cars push each other off and we win the race.
Race 3: Border Run ($4000) Difficulty 1/5
This is also a very simple race, here too it's advisable to go with the Banshee sports car. The race is easy to win, because the opponents keep shoving each other and crash into the posts, so we can break into the lead.
Race 4: Capital Cruise ($8000) Difficulty 1/5
True to their habit, our opponents aren't in top form this time either. Let's calmly win the race :).
Race 5: Tour! (20000$) Difficulty 2/5
A bit harder race than the previous ones, but it can be done. Here too it's worth going with the Banshee, because it's fast (not the fastest) and most importantly it's easy to steer, which is really important in this crazy race, because we'll have to turn a ton. :)
Race 6: V.C. Endurance (40000$) Difficulty 2/5
This race is very long, let's be prepared for it :). Let's try to push the opponents off the road at the start, and if we manage that, we can be happy, because we gain a huge lead and so we're sure winners.
Phone missions
Road Kill (500$) Difficulty 1/5
We have to kill Carl Pearson before he delivers 50 pizzas. The task is very simple, run him over with a car. :)
Waste The Wife (2000$) Difficulty 1/5
In this mission our mysterious client asks us to murder his wife, Mrs Warren. The condition: we can't use a weapon and the murder has to look like an accident. After listening to the details, let's go to the point marked on the map. The lady shows up here, and she'd be driving home in her car almost peacefully, when we come along. Let's follow the woman, and elegantly shove her car from behind :) In the top right corner we can see how much is still needed to destroy the car.
Autocide (4000$) Difficulty 2/5
New European gangs have turned up in Vice City, who are already getting ready to rob a local bank. Our job is to stop this. Let's head to the bike located to the left of the phone, which stands next to a little gate. Let's go in, then pick up the sniper rifle and the UZI. Unfortunately the mission is timed, so we have to hurry a lot. Our first target is Mike Griffin, who hangs out at Washington Beach, he's busy with a billboard, let's shoot him. Our next victim is Dick Tanner, who is at Ocean Drive and is sitting in a Securicar. Let's not go close to him, because he'll notice and flee, let's try to put a hole in his head from a distance by shooting through the windshield. After that we have to finish off Marcus Hammond and Franco Carter, also with the sniper rifle, be careful that they don't notice us. Let's go to Washington Beach, where we have to persuade Nick Kong to sleep in his boat :). The last victim is Charlie Dilson, who we should elegantly shoot with the sniper rifle.
Check Out At The Check In (8000$) Difficulty 2/5
Let's go to the phone booth at Escobar International. Here we can learn lots of useful information about the mission. Let's head to the right, behind the plant there's a sniper rifle, we'll need it to shoot the target. Let's look up at the first floor, there we can see a woman, let's follow her with the crosshair. When she gets down, she goes up to a man and asks him what time it is. Let's shoot the man, then take the bag from him. We can boast two stars and a bag. Let's head toward the marked point, which is the Downtown Ammu-Nation. On the way we may run into a few carloads of enemies, let's blast them easily.
Loose Ends (16000$) Difficulty 2/5
This time our phone will ring in Little Havana, at the back gate of the Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory. On the phone they tell us that a deal is going down on the roof. Before the mission let's get a minigun and a body armor. Let's go in through the gate to the left of the phone, here we can immediately see a few guys who shoot at us, let's finish them. Moving steadily inward, let's take everyone down, but be careful, because there are rascals lurking on the rooftops too. When we get up to the package, let's not rush over, because people are hiding behind it, let's approach carefully, then take them out. Let's pick up the goods (bag), then fly to the marked point with the help of the helicopter.

We have to be careful that our car doesn't catch fire, if we already see on the damage meter that our vehicle isn't in very good shape, let's pull into the "Pitshop".
Bloodring (1000$) Difficulty 2/5
Let's smash up as many cars as possible, without us blowing up. No need to be afraid of flipping over, because we get set right automatically. If we see we have little time, let's pick up a few Checkpoints.
Dirtring (50000$, 10000$, 5000$) Difficulty 2/5
With our favorite bike, the Sanchez, we have to collect Checkpoints located in various places. The reward depends on the time, if we finish the race in under 5 minutes we'll be richer by 50000 crispy dollars. Also, if it's between 5-9 minutes then 10000$, and if over 9 minutes then 5000$.
