I reckon I'll pick this one up, given how much I enjoyed LCS. (Y)

Yeah, I had fun playing LCS too - lots of fun missions. VCS will keep me occupied until GTA4 for PS3.

I'm interested to see the new map. I got used to the map in the original VC but I've never liked it as much as the Liberty City map used in GTA3 and LCS.

I haven't finished either yet though I did complete LCS and GTA3. I'm pretty close in VC but I'm stuck on two asset missions, one a timed challenge in a boat and the other a mission in a seaplane; neither vehicle is my forte.

Those missions always give me fits too, Andrew. But, like flying school in SA, I'm better at them now than I was when I first played VC.

The dude at Gamestop told me VCS is coming out Monday - sweet! I also pre-ordered GTA IV(October release).

I guess it's just another case of practice makes perfect. I just need the patience. ;)

I just checked DVDOrchard since they also sell games and VCS is expected to be available on PS2 in Australia on March 9th which is surprising since the PAL release of a lot of games is often a few weeks after the North American release. Then again, MK Armageddon's PAL/Australian release date was pretty soon after the NTSC release as well.

I can't see that happening just because of the vastness of San Andreas and trying to get that to fit on a PSP UMD, well I just can't see that happening.

The only way it could work is if you concentrate on a particular city, like Los Santos(with Cesar as the protagonist, for example).

I see that the main character in this is Vic Vance. Is this Lance's brother from Vice City, the same brother *SPOILER*that Lance was trying to get revenge for being killed by Diaz (if you don't know who Diaz is, he's the fat guy that you kill to own his mansion on Starfish Island, the large island in the middle of the map)?*SPOILER*

yes it is, they even introduce Lance in the beginning over the phone. I believe he becomes more involved later in the story because he shows up in the commercial.

For those who already have the game, how do you rate it so far? How's the map compared to the original Vice City?

haven't been playing it at all....been too busy going through GTA:III again. From what I have played through I did like it. You start off on the other island this time and they close off the bridges just like Vice City.

Better graphics and smoother gameplay than LCS. VC '84 is more "slummy" than VC '86. A lot of buildings are in construction. You'll see as you visit familiar haunts.

Is there any way to make the stupid forklift go faster in the "Boomshine Blowout" mission? It's a f-n pain-in-the-ass.

How are the missions in general? That was one thing that really stood out to me in LCS, the missions were a lot of fun and even the more difficult ones were able remain challenging without being too frustrating.
