...........the Rhino tank in LCS without cheating ?

LCS is much easier than GTA3 !!!!! Allthough,as another poster said, I
may live to regret those words as I have not finished yet lol.Done a
few missions on 3rd island now sent back to 2nd and there was a Rhino
but I destroyed it and saved the game. Dam!!! Shoulda stolen it.

It took some serious work to get to the 3rd island in GTA3 and I gave
up cos it was so hard towards the end of the game. The last mission I
was trying to do was destroying coffee vendor counters or something,
and there were about 9 of them spread over all 3 islands within a time
limit !!! To me the timed missions where the hardest thing about GTA3
..I swear those missions are bad for your heart lol.

Search and Rescue was quite hard. Steering the Vote took me about 6
tries and was doing my head in. Passion of the Heist also took me anout
6 tries until I realised that I did'nt have to take the Limo as well
and I escaped on foot and found bribes easily. I thought the arrow was
pointing to the car not just the case and I had to drive it all the way
back to the news building with a 3 star wanted level lol. I nearly made
it a few times as well but once I blew up in the alley and another time
I accidentally hit triangle and bailed out when I was nearly there.
NOOOOO!!!! I keep accidentaly hitting triangle instead of the break
lol. Wish I could stop doing that.

But apart from that some missions were ridiculously easy but it's all
good fun lol.

I don't know if I will buy VCS as I have played that city to death.
Played it much more than GTA3. Are you gonna be able to fly heli's ?

Is there gonna be a SAS if ya know what I mean ?

Thanks.

Eh. That's an easy mission (especially in the bulletproof Patriot) - as
long as you scout out the locations of the coffee stands before you destroy
any (since the timer doesn't start 'til you smash one) *and* start in either
Portland or Shoreside... [I prefer starting with the one across from
Salvatore's in Portland]

> Is there gonna be a SAS if ya know what I mean ?

Probably. Wouldn't be surprised, though, if it's really just Los Santos
Stories and no access to anywhere but LS, Montgomery, Blueberry, Palamino
Creek and Dillimore. Trying to do a game that spans all of 'em would
probably cause PSPs to explode. Razz

Still, it'd be a good way to keep it going for the PSP (and quickie ports
to other systems, naturally) since they could then do one for SF & LV...

Of course, that's assuming Rockstar survives its current problems with
programmers running for the hills and the SEC investigation and all. [or
sells the property to someone else who would be interested in doing the
other versions and not just the next-gen ones]

Your going to love me for telling you but....the Rhino can only be
obtained by either jacking one whilst you have a six star wanted level
or completion of the game. I'm not sure if you have to go for 100%
completion like in GTAIII, as the last mission I did took me up to 100%
and the Rhino spawns anyway.

There is a cheat code to get one, but I'm pretty sure it adds a "Times
Cheated" count to your stats list.

I'd say it's about the same. Some of the side missions (The RC races,
especially the one in the park) I found terribly difficult but like
previous GTA games it's pretty much a case of trial and error and a big
spoonful of perseverence.

Here's a trick if you ever replay that mission: the time doesn't start
until you hit the first vendor, and you're allowed to drive around all
three islands to find them before you begin. Start in Portland too.

> But apart from that some missions were ridiculously easy but it's all

Are you playing the PS2 port? I've heard a lot of people criticise the
missions in LCS, and none seem to remember that long missions aren't
exactly a benefit on a handheld device. Some missions got me really
annoyed. The first few tries doing "9mm Mayhem" and "Scooter Shooter"
were an absolute PITA. The guy decides to drive up hill,the game doesn't
automatically adjust your gunsight and you shoot your own driver! Grrr!

> I don't know if I will buy VCS as I have played that city to death.

It's a possibility. Nobody still seems to have any good reasons why air
vehicles were removed. Considering that LCS uses the modified Vice City
game engine anyway (And thus the level layout was built from scratch)
would it have been *so* hard to add a bit more collision detection to
the taller buildings? Or was it another case of unworkable physics
problems?

> Is there gonna be a SAS if ya know what I mean ?

<Crosses fingers> Hopefully! It will take an awful lot of effort
though. Something tells me that Rockstar would rather get GTAIV
released rather than take time away working on filler material.


Cheers,
Rob

That was my first thought - you shoulda saved it. =P

Hm, that was years ago. But if in doubt, you can always trust my old
GTA-adage that 'the rocket-launcher's your best friend.'

That was a complete bastard -> took me 3 tries.

As GTA should be: Emphasis on fun, rather than controller-mangling.

Once Cleve figures it out, probably. Wink

> Is there gonna be a SAS if ya know what I mean ?

It'd be a technical challenge for sure - perhaps on the next-gen PSP.
Next in line is VCS, after which they'll gear up the old hype-machine
for GTA IV, so I'm not sure you'll see SAS for 2/3 years yet (if at
all) on the PSP II.

I beat LCS on PS2 (completing all the storyline missions, not 100%) in
2 weeks. I found the missions really easy, but still its GTA, so it
was fun. The last mission was a walk in the park, hardly long, not as
long as say "End of the Line" in San Andreas for instance.

I'm a GTA junkie, I'll get any game with GTA on it. After VCS, I'd
think that R* might try to make more $ by marketing three separate
games, 2nd tier (prequel/sequel) games for San Andreas (LSS, SFS, LVS)
on PSP with eventual ports to PS3. But let them not rush it, as the
real focus will be on the next-gen GTA IV series, with the "Stories"
games released in between from time to time to wetten our appetites.

You can get the Rhino with a six star wanted level. When you get it, go for
the 'Vigilante' mission. Don't mind the six stars - do the mission anyway -
nobody will bother you... Peace of cake ;o)

Lack of buttons on the PSP?

Nah, I don't think that would have mattered. All the buttons needed to
fly a helicopter (Like in the other games) don't have anything else
useful assigned to them. You can't even do a drive-by with an uzi in
any air vehicles and it's easy enough to rotate the camera.

The general consensus on the forums is that they weren't implemented as
Liberty City is a bit small to fly around. Most of the buildings,
especially in Staunton Island, don't even have roofs as though they've
been built out of a rectangular cardboard tube.

The stadium looks VERY strange too.


Cheers,
Rob
