Publicity Tour is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City given to protagonist Tommy Vercetti by rock band Love Fist from the V-Rock recording studio in Downtown, Vice City.

Mission

Tommy Vercetti, having got Mitch Baker to provide security for the upcoming Love Fist concert, returns to the V-Rock station to tell Kent Paul of the news. Jezz Torrent, however, tells Vercetti that The Psycho, who had attempted to kill them before, had managed to survive Vercetti's attempts to kill him and was looking to kill them again. The band members ask Vercetti to accompany them on their way to the concert one hundred yards away and they leave and get into their limousine. Percy asks Vercetti to put a tape into the casette player, which is a message from The Psycho, who informs them that the limousine will explode if driven at low speeds.

Vercetti then drives across the city at high speed to prevent the bomb from detonating and the band members manage to defuse the bomb. Vercetti then drives the band members to the concert and accompanies them on to the stage shortly before their performance.

Reward

The reward for completing this mission is $8,000. The Love Fist Limo also starts spawning outside the V-Rock station, except in the original PS2 version.

Trivia

In the original PlayStation 2 version, the Love Fist limo is not unlocked after this mission. In later versions it is.
The weather during the beginning of this mission is scripted to always be stormy with rain and thunder. This is possibly to make driving slightly harder as the roads become wet.
The mission is based in the 1994 movie Speed, where police detective Jack Traven tries to deactivate a bomb that will blow up if the bus goes less than 50 mph (81 km/h). Similar missions exist in the games Mafia and the Joe's Adventures DLC for Mafia II, namely "Speed Explosive Truck" and "Bomb Under the Seat", respectively. Both missions also involve driving a vehicle to a destination, while under the threat of a car bomb exploding if the vehicle goes too slow.

+'''Publicity Tour''' is a [[Missions in GTA Vice City|mission]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] given to [[protagonist]] [[Tommy Vercetti]] by rock band [[Love Fist]] from the [[V-Rock]] [[V-Rock Recording Studio|recording studio]] in [[Downtown Vice City|Downtown]], [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]].
 == Mission ==
-A psycho&nbsp;transvestite fan has placed a bomb in the Love Fist Limo, which will go off if the Limo goes under 50 mph, meaning Tommy has to drive over that speed until Love Fist defuse the bomb in the Limo. Throughout the mission, on the top right side of the screen, a detonation bar will appear. If you go beneath a certain speed it will fill up. If you go above a certain speed it will empty down. If the bar fills up completely, the limo explodes and the mission is a failure. When the bomb is defused, Tommy drives Love Fist to their gig and after a cutscene, the mission is complete. There are four paths you can take to keep driving:
+[[Tommy Vercetti]], having got [[Mitch Baker]] to [[Hog Tied|provide security]] for the upcoming [[Love Fist]] concert, returns to the [[V-Rock]] station to tell [[Kent Paul]] of the news. [[Jezz Torrent]], however, tells Vercetti that [[The Psycho]], who had [[Psycho Killer|attempted to kill them before]], had managed to survive Vercetti's attempts to kill him and was looking to kill them again. The band members ask Vercetti to accompany them on their way to the concert one hundred yards away and they leave and get into their [[Love Fist Limo|limousine]]. [[Percy]] asks Vercetti to put a tape into the casette player, which is a message from The Psycho, who informs them that the limousine will explode if driven at low speeds.
-) '''[[Vice Point]]''': The hardest way. When you start driving make a turn to the opposite direction to which the lim is pointing, without lowering the speed too much. Keep driving through this path until you reach [[Prawn Island]], then keep driving till you reach Vice Point, keep going along all routes you see until Love Fist defuse the bomb.
+Vercetti then drives across the city at high speed to prevent the [[Car Bomb|bomb]] from detonating and the band members manage to defuse the bomb. Vercetti then drives the band members to the [[Vice City Concert Hall|concert]] and accompanies them on to the stage shortly before their performance.
-) '''[[Downtown Vice City|Downtown]]:''' Make a turn to the path in the middle, (not the one the limo points to, nor the opposite direction) and keep driving through downtown, and a portion of [[Little Haiti]] and [[Little Havana]] until Love Fist defuses the bomb.
+== Script ==
+{{main|Publicity Tour/Script}}
-) '''Cross Town:''' Drive straight through where the Limo is pointing and go through the route with less turns. As of here it's basically the same as option 2, but you'll probably reach [[Viceport]].
+== Reward ==
+The reward for completing this mission is [[Money|$]]8,000. The [[Love Fist Limo]] also starts spawning outside the V-Rock station, except in the original PS2 version.
-) '''Airport Run:''' As indicated for path #3, but don't get comfortable for the straights. Traffic may unexpectedly appear and cause you to crash, causing the bomb to fill up faster. You'll need to find a place where there isn't any traffic around so that the band members will figure out faster and easier. Head to the right where it leads to the [[Escobar International Airport]]. Get to the airport runway and then keep driving as fast as you can (since there are no hard corners), but avoid getting carried away as well, let alone planes that are either about to take off or land. Once the bomb is disarmed, head back to the concert. Your mission is complete.
+== Trivia ==
+* In the original [[PlayStation 2]] version, the Love Fist limo is not unlocked after this mission. In later versions it is.
+* The weather during the beginning of this mission is scripted to always be stormy with rain and thunder. This is possibly to make driving slightly harder as the roads become wet.
