Once onboard, you need to take out enemy after enemy and fight your way into the hold of the ship, where Lance is captive. Reminiscent of the "follow-the-chopper" mission from LCS, but a bit more straightforward, this one involves rattling down a highway at breakneck pace and then launching yourself off a ramp to land on a tanker moored further down. Except here he's trying to keep pace with a boat. Naturally it goes wrong, and the first part of the mission is a high-speed chase as Vic struggles to keep pace in a Porsche look-alike. On this one, "Leap And Bound", Lance is the bagman on a drug swap, set up by somebody the Vances have outed as police. The second mission available for us to try illustrates this further. So now you get to ride shotgun from A to B, and then fight for control of B and escort a pal from B to C. The overwhelming response was that people wanted to do more than drive from A to B. They originally thought that missions should be bite-size, portable affairs suited to a train journey, but apparently people didn't want that. Oceeeeeeean Driiiiiiiive.Īs you'll know if you read our earlier preview, a lot of the things Rockstar's talking about in VCS are reactions to user feedback. Plenty of gunnery and a two-star wanted rating later, you drop Lance off at his hotel. Having reached the transition point for the mission, Vic is tasked with defending Lance from the Cholos as they close in on the crashed car in a car park. All the while a familiar car-health meter gets worryingly close to death in the top-right. Some drive up alongside you and need to be dealt with there. Instead Lance takes you on a bumpy slalom ride past Cholo low-riders packed with enemies who need to be picked off. In "Jive Drive", the first mission we're allowed to play, Vic and Lance have to make a getaway under fire from a group of Cholos.Įxcept, for once, the player isn't in the driving seat. That's one of the first things we learnt when we got to try our hand at Vice City Stories on the PSP - Rockstar Leeds' second crack at a portable title - following our hands-off walkthrough of a few missions last month.īut it's Vic Vance, the playable character, who bears most of the brunt of Lance's peculiar sense of humour, as he finds himself propelled into a life of crime pretty much as soon as his brother steps off the plane at Escobar International Airport. Lance Vance began life in Vice City as a goofy old hippy, wearing shorts and making cracks about STDs.
