Agreed.

And, please spoiler the San Andreas reference. That's a pretty big surprise.

wow, now that's an achievement. I've only beaten it twice. The first time, then I started it again like 5 times, only to have my saves lost during a re-installation of windows, and on the 6th try I powered through and beat the game :)

Vice City on the other hand, I must have beat about 8 times, 2 of them just cause I was going crazy waiting for the PC port of San Andreas xD

Beat it fairly quickly on the PS2, but when the PC version came out I was hooked. The only missions that really gives me any trouble is one that is probably easy: where you have to catch the suicidal guy in the back of a truck. Hell if I don't have issues with that mission every single time.

I take that back. The flying training mission where you have to blow up tanks is tedious. The RC plane levels can be a bit difficult, and sniping missions can be a pain if not using a keyboard and mouse.

1) Mission where you chase a train with smoke on the bike

and 2) the one where you have to intercept a plane mid flight and you had to turn around and fly through a ring to activate the cut scene, but your plane was a much slower model than the one you are targeting, so you had to get it exactly right.

....gooooooood, that second one made me rage a lot
