Mission [ ]

The psycho that was believed to be killed by Tommy somehow survived and has placed a bomb in the Love Fist Limo , which will go off if the Limo goes under 50 mph, meaning that Tommy has to drive over that speed for 1 hour and 50 minutes (1 minute and 50 seconds in real time) until Love Fist defuses the bomb in the limo. During the mission, a detonation bar will appear on the top right side of the screen. If Tommy goes beneath a certain speed, it will fill up. If he goes above it, the bar will deplete. If the bar fills up completely, the limo explodes and if it explodes with the player inside, they will be wasted , both of which will end the mission in a failure. When the bomb is defused, Tommy drives Love Fist to their gig and after a cut-scene, the mission is complete.

Mission Objectives [ ]

In order to complete the mission the player must:

• Drive around the city while Love Fist defuses the bomb .
• Drive Love Fist to the venue.

The reward for completing this mission is $8,000. The Love Fist limo will also spawn outside the recording studio (except for the original PS2 version).

Post-Mission Phone Call [ ]

Mitch Baker : Hello Tommy?

Tommy : Yeah?

Mitch Baker : It's Baker. I just wanted to say I really enjoyed the show. Me and the boys want to thank you, and remind you, you got our respect. Good day. Keep riding hard, son.

• The mission is based on the 1994 movie Speed , where police detective Jack Traven tries to deactivate a bomb that will blow up if the bus goes less than 50 mph. Coincidentally, Dennis Hopper , the voice actor of Steve Scott , starred in the movie.
• The rain in this mission is scripted.
• This is the only time in the game that Love Fist are encountered outside of cutscenes.
• The bomb seemed to be a set of Boomshine bottles inside the limo's drink cabinet, wired to the engine that would set off if it goes to a stop or a lower speed.
• The default radio station at the start of the mission is always Emotion 98.3 , and after defusing the bomb, the radio will automatically tune in to V-Rock , regardless if the radio is off or not.
• There is a glitch in the PC version of the game, that if the player activates the replay function (F1 key) when the Love Fist members are talking at a certain time, their dialogue will be continued playing in full version in the replay scene, and after the scene ends, they will keep on chatting as normal. It is possible to use this trick to avoid car crashes, speeding down, and will also save a lot of time, thus making the completion of the mission become closer.

Question: What is the toughest mission in GTA Vice City?

Answer: Many missions may take time and several attempts to pass. However, as agreed upon by many GTA fans, the most challenging mission in the game is Demolition Man. Controlling the RC helicopter is more than difficult, and the time makes it more intense.

Question: How long does it take to finish the game?

Answer: The main storyline missions are enough to keep you busy for 18 hours. If you want 100% completion achievement, it will take you almost 43 hours.

Question: How does time work in GTA?

Answer: In GTA, one in-game hour equals 2 minutes in real life, which means a full day in GTA is 24-48 minutes in real life. Keeping an eye on the clock is important because some missions are activated at a certain hour.

Frequently Asked Questions - GTA Vice City Storyline Explained:

There are 59 main story missions in GTA Vice City in total. You can find them all listed on this page.

There are 20 required missions, 22 optional missions , and 17 asset missions  (where only 2 are mandatory).

Below you find a full breakdown of what is required for story progression and what is not.

In order to unlock the last mission in GTA Vice City, you must purchase and complete the missions for 6 Assets Properties . This is in addition to the Vercetti Estate which is automatically unlocked.

After completing the mission " Shakedown ", you have a total of 9 available assets in GTA Vice City. The choice is mostly yours on which 6 you decide to purchase and focus on, with a couple of exceptions:

• Print Works is mandatory , and the two Print Works missions must be completed
• Phil's Place doesn't count towards the 6, as it doesn't generate monetary profit

Once you have a total of 7 Profitable Places marked with $ (also counting the Vercetti Estate), you will unlock the final two missions of the GTA Vice City storyline, " Cap the Collector ", and " Keep Your Friends Close ".

The required missions in GTA Vice City include 20 main missions and the acquisition of 6 Assets (including Print Works).

• 18 of the Initial Storyline Missions
• The 2 Print Works missions are mandatory
• 2 Final Storyline Missions

There are 22 optional story missions in GTA Vice City:

• 4 of the Initial Storyline Missions (Avery's missions and "All Hands on Deck!" are optional)
• 13 Gang Missions (Love Fist, Mitch Baker, Umberto Robina, Auntie Poulet)
• 5 Pay Phone Missions (Mr. Black)

These are not necessary for story progression, meaning they can be completed at any time, even after the main storyline is completed.

Despite many missions being optional, all of these missions are required if you want to achieve 100% completion of the game.

Due to the way GTA Vice City's mission tree is set up, you might encounter a point where no more missions are visible and no map icons are available.

If you find yourself in this situation, this means that you completed all the initial mandatory missions, and you need to focus on the Asset Missions .

To progress forward, you need to purchase and complete the missions for at least 6 Assets Properties (one of which must be "Print Works", and "Phil's Place" doesn't count). This will result in a total of 7 Profitable Places (counting the Vercetti Estate), marked with a $ icon on the map.

Once you have a total of 7 Profitable Places, you will unlock the final two missions of the game.

For you speedrunners out there, you might be wondering what is the least amount of missions required to get to the end of the GTA Vice City storyline.

As mentioned above, the mandatory tasks included 20 missions plus the completion of 6 Assets (with Print Works being mandatory).

If we choose the 6 assets with the least amount of missions (Phil's Place doesn't count), here is what we have:

• Pole Position Club (0 missions, just spending $300 in the dance room)
• Sunshine Autos (0 missions, but the first list of cars must be delivered to the garage)
• Viceport Boatyard (1 mission)
• Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory (1 mission)
• Print Works (2 missions)
• Kaufman Cabs (3 missions)

This gives a total of 27 minimum missions required to complete the GTA Vice City story mode.

However, it's a different story when it comes to 100% Completion of the game, as this requires completing all 59 Story Missions, plus Side missions and many more endeavors.

When you start off Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, you will be playing on the right side of the map - this being Vice City Beach.

The bridges that connect to the other side of the map, Vice City Mainland, are closed off due to hurricane warnings.

The hurricane warning will be lifted as you progress through the story, and access to Vice City Mainland will be unlocked after completing the mission " Phnom Penh '86 " .
