Rating:  Summary: Hard-to-find Great Guide Review: All of my friends have one and I've read through it, and other than the occasional slip-up on the prices on some real estate, it's a really nice guide. I'll tell you what though. I live in Columbus Ohio and nobody has them. Gamestop, Media Play, KB Toys, their all sold out. This is about the olny way I can get one. I need one really bad to unlock the hidden "Hunter" and some other stuff.- Really Great Guide
Rating:  Summary: Great addition to a Great game!!! Review: As we all know, GrandTheftAuto: ViceCity will probably end up being one of the top 10 games of all time! Having this strategy guide will not only help you through the game's harder missions, but will also be a collectors item along with the game in the future! I would buy 2 copies of the strategy guide & game and have the extra copies framed and hung on your bedroom wall! That's what im gonna do!
Rating:  Summary: a rush job compare to GTA3 Strategy Guide Review: I have the GTA3:OSG for PC. Arrangement and quality wise no doubt GTA:VCOSG is much better. This guide comes with a giant poster of the Vice City map, very helpful as you don't have to refer to the low-res and blurr map with the START button all the time, or flipping back and forth like mad in the GTA3:OSG for PC (as the map and descriptions are located behind the map). This time, on every page of the hidden packages location, there is a small focused map, this demolish the need to flip the page back and forth. This guide also comes with FULL COLOUR for all pages over 180, which gives a lot of eye candy while reading it. Pretty good deal for the price of full colour and great quality printed materials. Enough of complements, time for complains. Apart from the false info complained by other reviewers, I also noticed there are some other false info, object was pointed to wrong location on the map, or the item was never exists. My advise is don't fully rely too much on this guide if you are looking for hidden packages, rampages, etc... ..The guide are overs over 180 pages, lots of the pages are covered with VC fine arts (as seen on loading screen) without any writing. pages with writing are covered no more than 4 VERY SHORT paragraphs of BIG fonts. Mostly are very general description, very little of detailed guide or tips. I am comparing with GTA3:OSG for PC as both of these are from the same author, and i expect the quality should be equal or better. In GTA3:OSG for PC, each odd jobs and side missions are fairly detailed description of check points, suggestion of routes, tips. But, this time, I am surprised no more detailed description. For the side missions like Cone Crazy, PCJ PlayGround, I espect it will have a page or two on route suggestion. but I was really dissapointed there are none but just a paragraph brief description on what is Cone Crazy mission all about without suggesting any route. Anyone who played Cone Crazy mission can write a longer description than that! The author is getting lazy or in a rush, throwing in more eye candy, and take away details. You can tell between the lines that the author wasn't spent enough time either on the game or writing...this book as it is a recommended visual aids, covers almost everything in Vice City. If you are aiming for 100% completion in VC, this is what you need. Not bad for a coffee table reading material as well.
Rating:  Summary: False or opinion Review: I have this book and the game, I have beat the game without the book. When I look into the magazine I notice a lot of things it says that I don't agree with, like for example if you look in the car section of the magazine you see that they list the Faggio (a moped scotter) as ZERO in the cool factor, but then I look down at the stats and I see they have about a 1 or a 2 in the cornering and if you ever ride that scooter it corners like no other, you don't have to slow down (then again that might be because its fairly slow) and the handeling is also excellent. I know brady games hasn't really tried it that much on the scooter to put a 1 star in cornering. On to my next subject, The Malibu on Vice City is bought for 120,000 dollars, I look into the magazine and it says you can buy it for 100,000 and I don't know why or what is wrong there. And this is not the first time I have noticed something like that, but don't get me wrong Brady Games has helped a lot with hidden packages, rampages, or unique stunt jumps. All i'm saying is that mabey they can be a little bit more carefull.
Rating:  Summary: Best Game of the Year Review: I really enjoy playing this game, like the title this game would have to be the best game of the year. I really enjoy doing all the missions, they kick major.... Thouigh I do not own this game, i have rented it and i am getting it for christmas, I will endup playing this game all day and night. Some other things that I like better than GTA 3 are all the new improved better weapons, for more mass destruction, haha. I also like all of the new vehcles you can drive. Lincoln

Now I died when I found out about GTA 3, but "VICE CITY", I ca'nt wait until I get it. I now its gonna be the top number 5 cause it has the street bikes or the Ninjas,oh yah the golf carts,huh, they got it goin on. Well its been fun I ca'nt wait till I get it. "ITS GONNA BE OSSEM"!... PEACE!
Rating:  Summary: Great Help Review: I would have never beat the game without this book. It was a major help while playing the game and provided invaluable help for each mission, rampage, unique jump, car etc. Unless you dont plan to finish the game, you will need this book.
Rating:  Summary: It helps but kinda ruins the game Review: It really helped me alot but it also ruind the game because I already knew what would happen except for the two final missions cause I didn't read those. It also gave me briefing on cars and weapons though so I knew about them so if I had a choice between the deluxo and a banshee I would know to take the deluxo, or a choice between a colt 45 and a colt python I would take the colt python for the one shot kills asvantage.
