I. HATE. THIS. GAME.

i hate it with a passion. i nearly gave myself a fucking concussion from banging my head into the monitor. I mean, sure it's fun and all, but for two, and just two things...

1. The Driver.

This mission cannot be beaten. I swear, I've tried this at least 100 times. Literally. The stupid cops have rammed me off the road, I've been hit so many times trying to pass the bitch Hilary and exploded, and I fail if I kill him? Jesus Christ. Why can't I kill him. This is what nearly gave me a concussion.

2. Avery's demolition mission

Do you have any idea how fucking hard it is to fly that fucking RC chopper with a keyboard? Thanks a lot, Rockstar, I had to pay $10 to get a new keyboard, all because of your great game! : )

No, it's a piece of piss. The problem lies with you, not the game.

The RC Copter Mission isn't hard once you get used to it...

Can't say the same for that other mission. You get stuck with a pos car, and he has, to say the least, a car that can run circles around yours. THEN, he can't die. Heres what I did that worked however.

I fish tailed him into a wall near that police station if I recall, he didn't recover on time and I won, also, I think he flipped over, which oddly enough he didn't die or explode. Just be really dirty excluding shooting him.

It's quite beatable; I had 100% completion on my old computer. "Demolition Man" is easy if you learn how to fly the helo (try stealing some of them to practice). Also, work from the bottom up. Fun as it is, don't use the blades to kill the guards, except for late in the game when they're shooting at you. "Driver" you have to repeat until you get lucky; try and use Hillary to screen the cops for you when they first get called. If you're lucky enough to get a lead fight like hell to keep it. Unfortunately, it's quite possible that even if you do pass him, he can get knocked off a bridge or something and die. (This will sometimes crash the game). You just have to keep trying.

Man..."The Driver" is a dirty little bitch of a mission! I can't offer any advice other than keep trying...or cheat, in which case you can't reach 100%.

Ah, the driver, big fun. It can be beat but not easily, just do it often enough and you will beat him. the trick is to learn to stay in the race and near the front without crashing, if you are close to Hillary when he trys to cross the bridge to the hardware store (the one across from the municpal pool), he will often miss the bridge (perhaps with some help from you) allowing you to take the lead, which is about the only way to really beat him and stil isn't a sure thing. Taking the lead before that is pointless, he will catch up to you regardless of how baddly you knocked him off the course.

Demolition man, tough but doable eventually. Easier than passing out flyers for the porn studio I found. Steal a helicopter and practice for a while, it helps.

:::edit - I almost forgot the most important part of completing the driver, the music. Start with something gentle and work up to something to get the adrenaline pumping, use the MP3 channel. I recommend starting with Nationwide by ZZTop (also a good song for cruising in a tank), a good song to keep you from getting too excited at the begining of the race when you want to keep in control.:::

Dude just mod the car. Replace the stats with the stats of a non POS car.

I put a hole in my closet door and broke the pole that you hang things from over "the driver" in that game.

Its the only game i've ever physically destroyed anything over, and the only game i've ever completed to 100%.

You haven't played Ninja Gaiden yet, have you?
That game made me break three controlers, two coffee tables and the arm of my couch and my wrist.
Still haven't completed everything 100%...

Anyways...
The Demo mission only took me a couple tries to get, but The Driver is a bitch. People have touched on it, you just have to run him into a wall if he comes alongside you or into the water, or oncoming traffic. If you can keep sideswiping him into oncoming objects, you can win; a little but of luck wouldn't hurt either.

Well, I for one love Vice City, even moreso than San Andreas, which is still an awesome game in its own right. However, I think Vice City has more style, has a more interesting story and much better characters. Graphics and gameplay are old news, but still a great game.

That heli mission with Avery is easy as hell, man. You just have to practice and be sure to stay AWAY from those guards.

'The Driver', on the other hand.... that had me screaming bloody murder and punching the wall in sheer rage until I finally beat it after 16 tries (yes, I did count).

Just try your best to ram that stupid bastard off the road. Other than getting the police to ram into him while chasing you, those are the only bits of advice I can give. But hey, you do get to watch his ugly ass get shot later on, and you get a ton of cash for the Malibu set, so it is worth it to beat the mission, especially if you want 100%.

And for the record, I semi-broke my controller while playing San Andreas. This one is still pretty functional, but the L2 button is stuck and I cannot press it easily, so I need to get a new PS2 controller soon.

OMG I know. I fuc*ing hate that mission.

Try to get him to run into another car. It's about the only way you will get a lead. If you get hit, however, you're fuc*ed. If you slow down, you're fuc*ed. If you don't screw up at all, you're fuc*ed.

I REALLY hate the mission...
