At the start of the mission, a criminal spawns in a random vehicle (clearly marked and shown on the [[radar]]) and attempts to evade the player. If the vehicle catches fire or is held in place for more than a couple seconds, the occupant(s) will bail out and run or attempt to acquire new transport. (Watch out, they may even steal your car!) In GTA Vice City, a new car will spawn for the criminals to use if the player doesn't kill them fast enough. As the player completes each level, the target/s come armed with better weapons and, as of [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], become more numerous until eventually, multiple vehicles appear with each new level. In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], criminals will have the ability to drive-by. The player has to be ready to flee as well, as some of the criminals come very heavily armed with, for example, [[Ruger|Rugers]] and [[Shotgun|Shotguns]] that can, and will, kill both the player and their car in seconds. | At the start of the mission, a criminal spawns in a random vehicle (clearly marked and shown on the [[radar]]) and attempts to evade the player.

Vigilante mode does not grant immunity from the [[Police]], who will often pursue the player for murder, firing weapons, hitting police cars etc. They make it a lot harder since almost no emergency vehicles can be resprayed, and you might rack up your wanted level faster than you can find police bribes. Each time a Vigilante mission is started, the player must begin at Level 1, and cannot continue a previously failed or canceled mission. GTA Vice City Stories has a checkpoint every five levels so you can restart at that checkpoint if you failed or canceled before completion. | Vigilante mode does not grant immunity from the [[Police]], who will often pursue the player for murder, firing weapons, hitting police cars etc. They make it a lot harder since almost no emergency vehicles can be resprayed, and you might rack up your wanted level faster than you can find police bribes.

In GTA IV and GTA Chinatown Wars, the Vigilante missions are retooled. When [[Niko Bellic|Niko]] or [[Huang Lee|Huang]] accesses a police car, they can access the criminal database computer and view crimes in progress in the area. The player has a time limit to get to the crime scene, but once there the timer stops. These crimes include: Gang activity, which involves killing a group of thugs; Stolen vehicle, which involves chasing down the criminal in the stolen vehicle; and Suspect on foot, which consists of only one criminal fleeing a crime scene, and are usually the easiest. In GTA IV, 20 missions must be completed for the ''Cleaned The Mean Streets'' [[Achievements in GTA IV|Achievement]] and for [[100% Completion in GTA IV|100% completion]]. The 20 missions however do not need to be done consecutively. In addition, there is a new form of the mission called [[Most Wanted]]. In GTA Chinatown Wars, the side-mission automatically ends when you kill the last criminal on each wave, and to restart it you must reenter a Law Enforcement vehicle and access the Police Computer, so you don't have to beat all five waves consecutively to obtain the Gold Medal, as long as the chain is completed without failure. | In GTA IV and GTA Chinatown Wars, the Vigilante missions are retooled.

The ability to call for police back-up (by dialling 911 on a [[Mobile Phone|cell/mobile phone]] can also assist the player. Arriving police officers will begin shooting the criminal and eventually kill them. Firing a weapon, however, will lead to the player obtaining a wanted level. The player can not use the option to call from back-up from the Police Car. | |||
