GTA Trilogy Remake: 10 Missions We Can't Wait To Play (& 10 We're DREADING)

19. Dreading: Demolition Man - GTA Vice City

You're Sylvester Stallone, and you wake up in the future to find crime has been eradicated....no, no, wait, that's the Demolition Man film. This is Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and this mission is nowhere near as good as the surprisingly-enjoyable Demolition Man movie.

Demolition Man tasks Tommy Vercetti with blowing up a building site. Rather than doing this on foot, he must instead, for reasons, pilot a toy RC helicopter through the building site, dropping various bombs at different points throughout the structure.

Again, it's another mission that if you read the synopsis, you'd think 'Oh, that sounds alright, that.' However, if you did think that, you're very, very wrong.

Demolition Man is an absolute exercise in frustration. The helicopter handles badly, the camera is unforgiving, the demolition site is hard to navigate, it's nigh-on impossible to hit the target with the bombs as you can't aim them properly and - to make matters even worse - there's annoyed demolition workers in the site trying to damage your helicopter as you go.

Sounds tricky, right? Well, you're also going to have contend with a time limit as you go as well.

Thankfully the GTA Trilogy: Definitive Edition will include the ability to instantly replay any mission you fail. We're gonna need it for this one.
