: Vice City Stories is a bit of an obscure game in the series that came out for the PSP and was also the last GTA released for the PS2. Most people probably never really played it since it wasn't 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:re-released for the PS4. As such, there are a lot of thingsဣ fans may have missed about the game.
The game stars Victor Vance, older brother to Vice City's Lance Vance, as he tries to make enough money to heal his sick brother Pete in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:1984 Vice City.🌳 The game itself is a prequel to the first Vice City. Just like its predecessor, there are a number of Easter eggs and references that serve as both cool nods and ways to tie the series together.
10 A Ce𒁏rtain Egg Is Under C♌onstruction
Veterans of Vice City will n🅷ote how towards the north🌸ern part of downtown Vice City is the VCN building that can be jumped through to access a room. A room that has an actual chocolate Easter egg in it that reads "Happy Easter".
If you go to the same exact place in Vice City Stories, you will find the same exact egg under construction with a mini crane beside it. An overall nice reference to somethiꦰng some ෴players might have missed in the first Vice City.
9 Su♔nshine Autos Is Under Construction
Towa✨rds the southern edge of the Little Havana district, players can find a car dealership under construction. Fans of the previous game will note that this is actually Sunshine Autos.
Sunshine Autos was a business that could be owned in the first game where players could deliver specific cars in exchange for some quick cash. It is also a nice homage to Vice City in the sense that it pays homage to the game that introduced owning a business. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:That is used in the series today with GTA V and Online having this mechanic.
8 ꦏ The Moon's Size Can Be Increased Or Decreased
This one is a pretty weird thing you can do in the game. In 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:all of the PS2 GTA games, Vice City Stories included, the size of the moon can𝓀 be increased ♑or decreased.
With a sniper rifle equipped, aim 🎶at the moon and shoot it to increase and decrease its size. How this happened is anyonꦯe's guess but it is a fun thing to do if you find yourself too bored.
7 🐻 A Rockstar Constellation
Sometimes it's nice to take a break and just admire the stars of the night sky. This is something not often don🐟e in video games, especially in Vice City Stories, but 𒆙do so in the game and you're in for a nice Easter egg.
Look into the sky at night and you may have the chance to see a star constel⭕lation make out an R for Games, the publisher and developer of the GTA series. Like the moon Easter egg, this Easter egg is also present in the other ps2 GTA games.
6 Two Mis෴sion 𝔉Names Reference Pop Culture
References to pop culture in GTA games areꦅ nothing new and Vice City Stories is no exception to this. Eagle-eyed fans will ౠnotice how two of the game's missions reference something from pop culture.
The Brown of the Dead mission references the popular zombie flick, Dawn of the Dead. The other mission is the Domo Arigato Domestoboto which references⛦ the popular 80s hit song, Mr. Roboto by Styx.
5 ꩲ A Restaurant Is Named After A Godfather Character
It's no secret that crime gangster films have had an impact on GTA in major way🐲s. Vice City Stories pays tribute to the Godfather by naming the Barzini Italian Restaurant, a business in the game, after a character from that movie.
The character in question is Don Emilio Bar꧑zini. In The Godfather, he was one of the bosses that made New York's Five Families that were associated with the mafia and was the main antagonist of The Godfather novel. There are two of these in the game, one in the North Point Malಌl and the other in Downtown Vice City.
4 An Umberto Robina Mural Resembles "Che🅷" 🌳Guevara
Umbreto Robina is the leader of a Cuban gang in both Vice City and Vice City Stories. In 💛the Little Havana section of Vice City, based off of Miami's Little Havan district, is a mural of the guy, next to the words Libre Havana, that bears a striking resemblance to murals of Ernesto "Che" Guevara.
Guevara was an Argentine communist revolutionary who played a major role in the Cuban Revolution and inspired countries in Africa and South America to do the same. Though he was eventually captured and executed, he still remains a strong symbol of rebellion to this day. Something the Robina mural allude♏s to.
3 ༒ All The Past Vice City Characte♔rs
As the game is a prequel to Vice City, there are a number of cameos from characters in that game. Robina was one such 🃏character but there 🍌are others, as well.
Some of the more notable ones are crazy war veteran Phil Cassidy, Ricardo Diaz before he acquired the Scarface-esque mansion and Lance Vance who appears quite nerdy looking at first b⛄efore engaging in the drug trade with his brother.
2 The Trailer✨ Trash Outfit Resembles San Andreas' CJ
A cool homage to a different game is the trailer trash outfit in Vice City Stories that can be acquirꩲed after completing the D.I.V.O.R.C.E. mission. The outfit itself consiဣsts of Vic wearing a white tank top, blue jeans and sneakers.
This outfit is clearly an homage to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:San Andreas' CJ, who wears the same outfit as his default𒆙🉐 outfit in that game.
1 ღ You Can Watcꦚh A Phil Collins Performance
Perhaps the most memorable thing about Vice City Stories is the appearance of singer and former Genesi💦s frontman, Ph💦il Collins. Collins actually plays himself and appears in a few missions where you try to stop mafia hitmen from assassinating him.
After completing the In The Air Tonight missio♐n, players can actually see Collins perform the song of the same name at the Hyman Memorial Stadium for the price of $6,000. Now you can see PS2 Collins perform for you whenever you want.
