Andy 'NTG' NelsonGrand Theft Auto: Vice City (PS2) - 2:27:26 - Andy Nelson (2005)

Speed run of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City in 14 segments, completed on February 10 2005. Available in three versions: low quality, normal quality, and 60 fps high quality.

Author's comments:
First off, thanks go to Nate, for capturing the run, and to Jnco904's Car Locations FAQ from gamefaqs.
Notes/Improvements on the run:

Part 1 - You get 5 shotgun rounds every time you jack a police car - this is why I stop for seemingly no reason to do this twice, cuz having the shotgun makes a couple of the early missions go faster (Jury Fury and Riot). No serious mistakes here, but flipping my car didn't help.

Part 2 - This part went fairly well, only thing that could really be improved strategy-wise would be to not pick up the health (as it turned out I didn't need it anyway). The reason for saving at the Skumhole Shack is so I can pick up the helicopter quickly at the start of the next section. It seems to be totally random whether or not a helicopter appears, so I wanted to have a guarentee that it would be being able to reload.

Part 3 - More helicopter annoyances - helicopters like to disappear randomly. It's a lot quicker to get into the mansion via the roof entrance with a heli, but mine disappeared and I decided to carry on anyway. This is easily the worst section of the run, destroying the windows in the mall takes far too much time as well.

Part 4 - I decided to put all the boring stuff together in one section, and here it is - a lot of goes at Cone Crazy to get cash, and the Strip Club asset. I could have taken one less go at cone crazy and still had enough money to buy all the assets, but it was so close that I didn't wanna risk getting stuck for cash for the sake of around 20 seconds. Still, that's another potential improvement.

Part 5 - Only one mission, Bar Brawl, because of the disappearing act the helicopter performs almost every time in the Cop Land cut-scene. My original plan was to grab one of the bikes at the end of Bar Brawl, use it to jump onto the roof with the 'Chopper Checkpoint' mission helicopter, and to use that to do Cop Land.

Part 6 - Cop Land - I was a bit unlucky to not have any cops around when you've gotta attract them into the lock-up, but I didn't reload cuz I was getting fed up of this mission. It's not too bad, but there's room for improvement.

Part 7 - Selling the ice cream went quite well, but I've definitely done the boat race a lot faster. If you save at the boatyard, the boats don't appear, so I did two assets in one segment.

Part 8 - At the start of Friendly Rivalry you get 300 SMG rounds, but you have to get out and in again for them to appear - that part wasn't a mistake. Unlike the end of Cabmageddon, which was a mistake, I can't even remember what I was doing, but I kept the segment cuz I'd been lucky enough to run accross a couple of cars for the showroom along the way.

Parts 9-12 - One car per segment, this is one of the advantages of the segmented run, lets you manipulate luck in a way.

Part 13 - This went fairly smoothly, no major mistakes I can think of, just the occasional bit of sloppy driving.

Part 14 - I screwed up the second part of Cap the Collector, took a wrong turning, but then I got lucky on the third part, so it evened out a bit.I let the final cut scene play, but I'm pretty sure you can skip it.

I think it would be very possible to improve this - one general idea I (only just) had was about the phone calls - every phone call where you're standing still is wasted time, if you know you have a call coming up it would be faster to get out your car ahead of time and run to the last part of your route while taking the call.

If you have any comments or feedback, feel free to email me (nelson АТ n-par.co.uk).
