GTA Glitch City?

Is it just me or does anyone else find that Vice City is wrought with glitches? It's frozen on my a couple of times and once it didn't load a mission after a cut scene. I usually don't problems with my PS2 but Vice City seems to be the exception.

Just wondering if anyone else has had a problem with it?

I've had the same problem. It got to the point where I made sure to save the game after every mission.

I completed the main storyline missions, delivered 100 taxi passengers, found all 100 hidden packages, and finished all the vigilante missions. The game never crashed or glitched on me once. I guess I'm lucky.

Vice City was full of bugs at release. Part of the problem could be your PS2 though as it seems to expose laser problems earler than other games.

Don't forget that Rockstar is always blaming their glitches and bad programming on cheat codes. If you put in a cheat code our highly stable game might lock up or do strange things. Right.

The only problem I had is that I jumped and ended up stuck in a ramp. No big deal, though. I usually save after every mission anyway and haven't had any other problems.

I've only had it freeze on me once, but I get all of the other problems like clipping and texture thrashing.

I've had it freeze on me several times, I always thought it was due to it being a previously used game from Blockbuster. I'll usually just eject the disc, and re-insert it and the game will unfreeze.

Hmm..... Never had it freeze. There's plenty of clipping in the game and sometimes it'll have collision detection issues but nothing serious. Guess I'm lucky too (and I have one of the earlier PS2 models). It did seem like the game took longer to save and load as I got towards the end of the game.

I found a few object glitches like being able to walk through the back of a set of steps, but nothing major. It never froze my system at all.

Yeah I've had maybe 2 glitches total. I don't consider it a big deal though given the complexity of the game.
