Vice City Stories Wiki

Vice City Stories expands the 1984 setting with military craft, hovercraft, air-rescue vehicles, empire-building transport, and a broad selection of cars and bikes. The image-backed route keeps those differences visible without mixing in later games.

Vice City Stories shifts the weapon set toward 1984 hardware while keeping the compact pickup-and-shop rhythm of the 3D-era games. Its special equipment and safehouse milestones are just as useful to completionists as its heavy weapons.

Vic's story starts with a soldier doing favors for Jerry Martinez and grows into a struggle among the Cholos, Bikers, Sharks, Mendez brothers, and the Vance family. The mission table preserves that regional and character-driven progression.

Vice City Stories uses its safehouses as visible markers of Vic's changing fortunes. The route starts at the military Barracks, shifts to Louise's compound, and ends with the more permanent Clymenus Suite.

The six business types give Empire Building its progression spine. Legal fronts open first, while the three illegal ventures arrive with the East Island and reward their own job chains, ranks, and outfits.

Empire Building is Vice City Stories' defining completion system: a map-wide contest of attacks, purchases, repairs, and business development. This route starts with the source's default map state and leaves the chosen final business to the player.

VCS turns familiar GTA emergency missions into a larger vehicle checklist, then adds Air Rescue, Beach Patrol, Fire Copter, and Vice Sights. The vehicle and level target are the key planning fields.

Turismo is VCS's paid street-race ladder. The course names are memorable, but the useful completion decisions are the vehicle class, island, entry fee, and unlock mission.

VCS's time-trial route is a vehicle tour of the city: dirt tracks, BMX courses, jet skis, hovercraft, planes, a triathlon, a golf cart, and the final Hunter run. Edition notes keep the PS2 additions visible.

The impound list turns Vice City's traffic into a targeted scavenger hunt. Grouping the rows by source list makes it clear which eight models still stand between Vic and the next completion milestone.

Phil's range is a compact five-round test of VCS's manual aim. The weapon and target score make each row actionable even though the activity itself is one continuous challenge.

Swinger's Club is a small but distinctive VCS completion stop: five shots, a buoy bonus, and a score target at Leaf Links.

Crash! and Rush! turn heavy vehicles into timed scoring tools. The edition marker matters because only PS2 players have both entries.

The Red Balloon hunt gives VCS a bright, unmistakable collectible language. Its numbered images cover everything from Fort Baxter and the airport to Vice Point rooftops, malls, beaches, and the lighthouse.

VCS Rampages combine the 3D-era skull marker with the game's factional city: Cholos, Bikers, and Sharks become timed targets, while the supplied weapon determines the best route.

Vice City Stories' stunt route runs from airport stairs and port rooftops to golf-course water jumps and the lighthouse. The landing field matters as much as the takeoff description.
