Yup, the thing gets wheels, but still acts like a chopper. The same applies to boats.

 

[mank!]

So tempted to buy Vice City. Someone lend me money :[

I reached Mission level 351 on the PS2.

Yup, there's two hours knocked off my life

edit:// As a result, my title reads "Underboss" heh

Well, it is possible to go on indefinitely (as long as you dont crash into building or something) since even on 6 stars the only thing that can touch you is the Police helicopters, and they're easily dispatched

Getting those 6 stars knocked off after you're finished is the hard part..

Also, how the hell do you get in Pay n' Spray without hitting the rotors? I don't know of any P'n'S big enough to accommodate the helicopter, except maybe the one in Sunshine Autos (which is below ground anyway and impossible to get to by chopper)

Do you get anything after completing twelve missions, like in the standard police car?

 

[Durzel]

"Max armour: 150"

I presumed you got the same for all the Vigilante missions - i.e. tank, police car and Apache.

Btw...

My poor attempt at landing

 

[stu]

From what I've seen of the PC version, it's a little too easy. The quirky controls were what created the challenge on PS2. OK, the aiming thing was fairly annoying (although it was easy enough to adjust to it), but the bikes (for example) seem far too easy to control on the PC version. The payoff for their insane speed and acceleration is supposed to be that they're difficult to control.

I thought it'd be easier on the ps2, what with analogue controls. Plus lean back/forward should be analogue because halfway leaning forward seems to be duck down (which makes the bike go insanely fast in the case of the superbike, pgr 600 or whatever it is).

But yeah, it is piss easy to control on the pc. Great fun though.

It is possible to get it in the Sunshine Auto garage. Careful landing is required my young padawan.

You missed the fact that they're so much easier to control on the PS2.

It seems they've taken all the vehicles that were 'fun' to drive about on the PS2, and made them shit. Bikes and Helicopters spring to mind. I expect if I had a joypad they'd be fine, but I have a PS2 for that.

(Just going to show how easier they are to control on PC...)

 

[nath]

Bikes are great fun on the PC version, as are helicopters (if you manage to get a decent control setup on them). I find that having lean forward/back are good on the two thumb buttons on the intellimouse explorer. That works pretty well.

Got my copy today

Not played it yet

And I won't have chance tonight

Or tomorrow

What could possibly be more important*, tbh?

I assume that doesn't mean sex.

I'll go away and shut up now.
