Got a
question? Got a comment? Got a concern? Got a beef? Be
heard.
Vice City.
Vice City. Is there anything else worth talking about right now in
the world of the PS2? I think not!

Q: Does
anyone know anything about some scuba gear on Vice City? I heard
something about it somewhere but I can't seem to find anything on
the Internet about it.
A: The ability
to not die as soon as you touch water would have been a nice one;
especially with all the boat rides and over water flights you do
in the game. As far as I can see, though, this "scuba
gear" thing is simply one of the hundreds of rumors floating
around the Internet.

Q: How do
you delete Vice City saves within the main file?
A: There
actually is no option to do that in game. You can either overwrite
them with another save, ignore them, or do this little trick: put
a second memory card in your PS2, load the saved game you want to
keep, then save it to the other card. Go into your PS2 browser and
delete the old file, then copy the new Vice City file you created
to you main card and there you go!

Q: I’m
starting to build my criminal empire and I want to know what
apartments you can buy and what assets you can buy. I already have
Ocean View Heights, Pole Positions and the Kaufman’s cabs, what
else is their and where?
A: Some of the
businesses you can own are the Print Works (found in Little
Havana), Inter Global Films (Prawn Island), Sunshine Autos (one of
my personal favorites) found near the entrance to the airport,
Cherry Poppers Ice Cream (right off the main bridge to Little
Havana), and The Boatyard (near the docks down the road from
Sunshine Autos). Assets are always better to own then homes, but
there are a few apartments worth going out of your way for. These
are the Skumole Shack (located Downtown far away from other save
points), El Swanko Casa (in Vice Point), and by far the best in
the game, Hyman Condo, located near the very end of the Downtown
area. It has three two-car garages, a helicopter pad on the roof
with a regenerating Maverick, a police bribe, street clothes, and
weapons pick ups!

Q: Someone
told me you get pictures of Candy Suxxx at the end of a mission,
and that you can get naked dancers in the strip club. True?
A: Picture of
the infamous adult actress Candy Suxxx after the Inter Global Film
missions? Yes, though it’s nothing much to talk about. Naked
dancers at the strip club? No. Yes, you can buy a "private
show", if you know what I mean, but no disrobing is involved.

Q: Auntie
Poulet sounds a lot like Miss Cleo.
A: That’s
not a question, but I’ll answer it anyway. That’s because she
IS Miss Cleo. In all honesty I’m not sure if she did the voice
for the game before or after she was on trial for defrauding $1
billion dollars from poor, hopeless saps, but it’s sort of
ironic either way the truth falls. If it was recorded BEFORE the
trail then she even pulled one over on Rockstar Games, if it was
recorded AFTER than she was acknowledging her unlawfulness and
criminal involvement. Either way, it’s a whole lot of funny!
