GTA: Vice City : Help! I'm stuck!
OKay, I've completed the last Cuban Mission: Voodoo Trojan and also the Vercetti mansion Cop Land mission. I've been driving around forever and I can't find any more missions. What am I missing here? What do I do now? According to the Stats I'm only 30% finished.

Yeah, you have to own a certain percentage of property, including the Print Shop and the Malibu Club. You must do the Print Shop missions to finish the game, but not the Malibu.
There's a lot to do to get 100%. I'm only at 97%, and I still have quite a bit to do.

einTier is correct. You need to own a number of businesses - the Print Shop being one. The Malibu isn't necessary to own, so I'd recommend picking up some of the less expensive properties to further the game.

The official guide said the Malibu was nessesary, that's what I was going by. I don't really know, because I purchased all the property long before I finished the game.
Frankly, I triggered the ending credits quite by accident.

Every time I do the Trojan VooDoo mission, the gates won't open back up to let me escape.. I set off all the bombs... and as I was trying to escape, the gate wouldn't open and I failed cause I couldn't escape. Help!!

I'm still stuck on the stupid missing where you just drive the boat around...I think it's the mission you do when you buy the boathouse. I haven't played the game for a couple months because that mission made me want to stop playing, but I'm thinking I'll try again soon. I am just really terrible at driving the boats, and I consider myself a good car driver.

Sorry - wasn't trying to flame you Eintier - I was just pointing out to the "poorer" Vice City players that the Malibu wasn't necessary to own. I didn't use the guide to play - I'm just speaking from experience. I didn't own it but was able to roll the credits. For the Voodoo mission the stairway is the key. I wasn't actually aware that the gates would open, I just used the stairs to get out.

Crazy, Checkpoint Charlie is not nessessary to win the game. It's only nessessary to make the boatdocks make money. It is one of the harder missions, my best advice is to get the boat on the left, the one on the right isn't fast enough. Also, lay on the throttle when you get in, and never let up for anything. I didn't win this mission until I did that. The boat turns better under full throttle than you think it does, and if you slow down, you'll never make it. First person view helped me a lot too.
spankyj, I didn't think you were flaming me, I was just explaining why my information seemed to be incorrect. I used the guide just because I didn't want to play the game twice all the way through like I did with GTA3. I've got 100% on GTA3, and I'm at 98% on Vice City.

ARRGGHHH! So I decided last night that I was going to get all 100 packages. I had 20-some before that and printed out a checklist so I could find them all. Spent about 5 hours running around, getting them all and crossing them off as I go. Get to the LAST one, get it, 99 packages found. WHAT?! So somewhere, I crossed off a package that I didn't actually get. I have no idea how to track it down. CURSES. Well, at least I can remember most of the ones I for sure did last night, so I can cross those off the list for sure. Just bugs the hell out of me. 99 packages found, and no idea where the last one is. Thanks for reading my venting.

Oh man - that sucks. I've been trying to find them all too. I've been extremely careful with my markings so far, but that doesn't mean I won't end up in your boat. Sorry to hear it man - good luck!

What's the BEST way to do the mission where you have to cause Chaos from the Biker Bar. Once you complete that they supposedly will bounce for that band (name slips my mind). I have not touched the game in a while.....
I can only get my Chaos meter like a quarter of the way full.....help!

An alternative is to use a maverick/sparrow/etc and ascend to the roof of the bar (or any other populated place nearby). From there, snipe, shoot, lob grenades etc and you're pretty much free from the local VCPD, FBI, etc.
In other words, you're not restriced to the bikes.
Hope this helps!

That happened to me. I figured out I'd missed the one on the rocks in the water, just south of the wooden boat houses. It's really hard to see.

BTW, with the Hunter, you'll never want to stop the vigilante missions!

This is a very sweet game. I am already 99% done and working hard at finishing it. All I am missing is one simple unique jump. I am going through the list I have over and over again and should be finding it soon. Hardest part of the game in my opinion was the ambulance. I completed it despite rolling the ambulance in level 9.

I use the helicopter over the north wall to steal the Hunter as well. It's always there when I go look for it. However, the Hunter that appears on the south end of the first island after you finish the game and get 100 packages comes and goes.
I've gotten up to Vigilante level 41 with the Hunter.

I didn't end up looking for the Hunter yesterday, cause I spent my short gaming time trying to do the Pizza Boy missions. Dammit. Was doing the downtown Pizza Place and got to level 10, when they put one of my customers on Starfish Island. No way I could get him and all the rest in 5 minutes. Bastards. I'll try again tonight.
