Missions You Hate

The mission in SA where you had to do a dance off in order to steal the Speaker van.

Iirc on the original PS2 version you had to score 4000 points. It was a bit of a drive back and forth from burger shot to the beach and it could only be done between certain hours.

The score was halved when the Xbox edition came out.

I'm pretty sure the drive is only around a minute, it's the burgershot nearest the beach you have to go to and from if I'm not mistaken.

But that mission stopped me from being able to finish the game when I was a little kid

You could only do it at night. If you failed you'd have to go and save a couple of times before you could try again. It was still fairly early in the game so unless you did the Taxi and whatnot, you probably only had the Grove Street safehouse which wasnt close at all.

so im havin my 3rd go at clearing SA and guess what im stuck on the wrong side of the god dam tracks, i now despise big smoke :mad:

Really don't know how people have such difficulty with this one...just drive he bike level with the carriage and on the edge of the track so Smoke can shoot and hit them not the train.

Gotta be snail trail for me, been playing this week and every time the lad jumps in the taxi the spook-o-meter shoots up...

They are easily three times stronger/more bulletproof than normal opponents. Add in Smoke's abysmal aim and it's easy to see why people have trouble with it.

Maybe I just got lucky, it doesn't compare with Zero's torture though...*shudder*

Replaying SA before V comes out. Came to that mission last night at about 1am and I was like ''f*ck NO'' *turns off system*. Gonna give it a go in a while. I passed it on my first attempt last time I played through SA!

I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown the first time I attempted the Zero RC plane mission. Then I found out it's A LOT easier if you get your pilot's license before attempting it.

Silly me wanting to do the missions as I got them.

Stall.... the ball.

How? That mission was pretty much a case of if you didn't zero in immediately on each plane you failed.

That RC mission in SA was the reason I stopped playing it oh so many years ago...If I had a PS" now I'd give it another whirl

RC plane mission too, absolute pain in the balls

I think he means that you have a lot more experience flying wise. Still a dog of a plane to control.

Lung Capacity. Just keep diving under water. There is a great cut scene if it's not high enough that I only got a few years later.
