'''Downtown | '''Downtown''' is the business sector of [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]. It is bordered by [[Little Haiti]] to the south and a body of water elsewhere. | ||
== | ==Character== | ||
Downtown is the northernmost area in the city. Mirroring [[wp:Downtown Miami|Downtown Miami]], it has most of the city's skyscrapers, including the tallest structure in the city. The giant [[Hyman Memorial Stadium]] hosts events such as concerts, stock car races, demolition derbies and dirt bike stunt shows. Downtown is the location for the local heavy metal radio station [[V-Rock]] and an enclosed recording studio, where lead singer for rock band [[Love Fist]], Jezz Torrent, was seen recording a song. The [[Ammu-Nation]] gun store supplies weapons and armor. | |||
Other places of interest include the [[Vice City News]] (VCN) headquarters and a venue for a Love Fist concert, just south of the V-Rock radio station. An unnamed beach is also located west of Downtown, but it receives no visitors or attention, a stark contrast to Washington Beach in the Ocean Beach area. A police station, hospital and one of the city's [[Vice City Fire Department|fire station]] is situated in the area. | |||
== | Like many parts of the city, Downtown has seen major changes between [[1984]] in GTA Vice City Stories and [[1986]] in GTA Vice City. The dirt track in the north has changed dramatically. The giant [[The Mendez Building]] directly west of [[Hyman Condo]] has been torn down and replaced with a shorter building. By 1986, a giant [[GASH]] blimp circles endlessly around the city. Ammu-Nation added a giant [[Ammu-Nation Shooting Range (GTA VC)|shooting range]] to its store. | ||
==Gang control== | |||
In 1984, the area is dominated by the [[Vice City Bikers|Bikers]] gang led by [[Mitch Baker]]. By 1986, the gang has lost control of the area. While the Bikers remain at [[The Greasy Chopper]], they don't control much territory and the rest of the area is not controlled by any gang. | |||
==Prominent appearances in missions== | |||
[[Tommy Vercetti]] visits [[Kent Paul]] in the V-Rock recording studio in order to help out the [[Love Fist]] metal band. His job include buying some drugs and delivering some company for Love Fist during "[[Love Juice]]", deal with a psycho who has been harassing the band during "[[Psycho Killer]]", and drive them to their concert during "[[Publicity Tour]]". Kent Paul wants security from the Biker gang so Vercetti helps out by persuading the gang's leader, [[Mitch Baker]], to provide security. In order to win Baker's trust, Vercetti has to race around Downtown with other Bikers during "[[Alloy Wheels of Steel]]", cause havoc during "[[Messing with the Man]]", and retrieve Baker's bike during "[[Hog Tied]]". | |||
Vercetti bought a couple of properties in Downtown: Hyman Condo and [[Skumole Shack]]. He took part in major events in Hyman Memorial Stadium and was shooter of the month after successfully completing the rifle range in Ammu-Nation. | |||
