Well there they are, my stats. I assure you the next time around everything is going to be ALOT higher. Gotta love this game, have to go through it all again, this time much better.
Now my final Opinion/Review of the game:
This game is incredible, definately what I expected it to be but in some parts not quite what I expected it to be. Overall the game is great, good graphics, nice missions with very good details and very well put together. The motorcycles and helicopters were a great addition, giving players ultimate perspective on the game this time around. I didnt find the Plane as interesting as the helicopter, as it is not as mobile and not as good agility wise. Its good for almost nothing beside flying around the islands if your a sight seer type person.
Although it was nice to see the complete setting and all of each island early on in the game I still like the Suprise of new islands, as in GTA3. I liked to beat all missions in an island then go to a new fresh island with new fresh missions. It was a nice touch. But it surely doesnt take anything away from Vice City itself. Its still one of the most impressive games Ive seen. Of course, worth the buy.
The weapons are again of good choice, specially with the new added hackers such as the katana and chainsaw. Lovely to see blood splatter all over the screen while chopping up a group of people which I thought was also a nice addition to the game. Gave it more reality and better scene settings.
Anyone out there knows this game gives new impressive standards to gaming, as did with GTA3. People out there even thinking about renting this game, Dont... Its not worth it. Your not going to get your fix out of renting this game. You have to get full potential to explore and do whatever you want, with the all the time you want, to get satisfaction. Unless of course your the type of person thats just like.. "I play game, I play missions, I beat missions, I done." Whatever floats your boat. I like to fully enjoy the games I play.
Well there it is... My overall ratings and opinions/reviews of the game. Anyone else feel free to do the same.

How do you get to dish out ice creams? I own the cherry popper, and I get in teh truck and it says to deal ice cream, but I can\'t figure out how? I drive around and around but no one comes up to the truck?
-
You have to come to a complete stop and press L3. The Ice cream trucks music will come on and people will come up to buy some "Ice Cream." They should show up on radar as little yellow blips.
-
Either you used cheats or the game is WAY easier than GTA3 ;/
-
The game is so much more complex, he cannot possibly be 100% done.
-
It looked like he was 65% done, according to the stats...
I\'ve heard a couple people say "I finished the game", because
they saw credits rolling. But I\'ve heard that you\'re not really
"finished", because there are missions involving the strip club,
and other places. I know one guy said he was "done", but had
only 50% complete. I can\'t believe that the other 50% is all
the side missions (ambulance, police, etc)...
I guess we\'ll see. I\'m assuming you\'ll keep playing Proud To Be...let
us know (with spoiler warnings, of course) what happens
next...
-
I did not use any cheats, and no I dont have 100% done. Look at my stats!
I didnt say I was finished with the game I just said I beat it(all missions.) Although after the last missions I did get some phone calls on the cell phone that hinted to more missions later, but I doubt it. We\'ll see.
-
damn man u rushed it. im gonna take it slow do all the sub missions first, cos in gta they where a bugger when u had all the gangs after u
-
I didnt really rush, I did do lots of sub-missions. I just couldnt stay away from the game period.
-
I\'m at 45% and have completed all of the main missions a while ago. There didn\'t seem to be as many as in GTA3, but they are much more satisfying and well structured (most of them anyway). I\'m currently buying property and collecting my money. I could rush through the final missions in a few hours and see the credits, but I don\'t want to see the last few missions until I have 100%. I am bound and determined to get every ounce of gaming goodness out of this game, something I didn\'t do with GTA3. I still have my rampages and hidden packages to find...along with one more assasination to finish up, and stores to hold up, and.......
-
I tried the L3 button with the ice cream truck but it still doesn\'t work. Do I need to be in a specific area of town or something? ANy help would be appreciated.
-
aint it r3

No, its L3 but I dunno whats wrong with your game. Have you bought the Ice Cream company, got in the truck and it go to a little cut scene telling you about the mission and what your supposed to do? If so, I dont know what could be wrong... maybe theres no people around?
-
try tapping L3 quickly, the same way you turn on sirens in emergergency vehicles.

Cha-ching... thats probably the problem. Didnt think about that one. You do have to tap it rather quickly to get the music goin.
-
r3 starts missions, i thought he meant he was trying to do a ice cream mission or something... i got it today.. not all that far, just got on the other island... was doing loadsa pizza boy missions.. this game is soooo cool
-
Yea I beat the pizza boy missions... If you want to know what you get afterwards. READ ON....
Your Health will now max out at 150! its great.
-
so do u have to do so many, or is there like so many levels till u complete it?? cos i got to about level 7, and got bored

You were three levels away. It max\'s at level ten.. its really easy.
-
right, i thought it was like other ones where u have to do somany missions, not complete it if that makes sense, lkinda like vigilanty missions on gta3, you had to do 10 in each isalnd
-
has anyone gotten any missions from phil cassidy at all? The oly property I don\'t own is the malibu club so I don\'t know if maybe I that has something to do with it?

Yep.
-
I figured bumping this thread up would be a good idea since some of you have beat the game, or if anything let me know what you think of the game over-all. Reviews, stats & opinions ya\'know.
Feel free.
-
Just beat it last night.
Thought the final mission was a tad easy (it did take me 4-5
tries, but I thought the one where you save Lance was harder).
57% Complete.
I\'ll have to look up the ranking/description later.
I do know my longest wheelie was 44 secs/stoppie 10 secs! ;)
Only major thing left is Cherry Poppers. Then it\'s on to vigilante,
ambulance, etc. missions (plus jumps/packages). Ah, what
to do first...and should I use codes now? That is the real question...
-
No, dont use cheats. Never use cheats. Your criminal rating will go down and you\'ll get a phony rank.
Im at 80% with only about 13 rampages, 2 unique jumps and the ambulance mission to go.
Screw you on the stoppies, bastard. I cant get any farther then 4 seconds damnit. What bike did you use? how\'d you do it?

...but I like the flying car and people follow you style cheats! Waaaa waaaa ;)
Yeah, I\'m still debating on using them or not. Maybe I\'ll start
another game where I use cheats, and keep one where I never
do...
So 20% is 13 rampages, the ambulance and 2 jumps? That seems
like a lot of % for just a few things...I guess the rampages are
intense.
Dude, I\'m telling you, use the moped on the stoppies.
Get cruising...lean forward (hard) and hit both brakes. Once
you get to about a 60% angle (you don\'t want to tip over,
obviously), you should be able to just "cruise" like that. All
you have to do is hold down the control pad/stick, don\'t hit
the gas and let go of the brakes.
You won\'t come to a stop right away - you\'ll just cruise like that
for a while, until the moped starts to turn/you decide to stop/you hit something. Let me know how it works...
-
I left out the last two missions also. It does still seem a little odd to cover 20% in just 13 rampages, 3 missions, and 2 unique jumps. We\'ll see. I need to find those last two jumps, its hard as f*ck!
Ill jump on a moped and see what I can do.
