Jezz Torrent: “You didnae kill him man. And now he's back.”
Kent Paul: “Yeah, yeah, yeah, and the thing is...”
Jezz Torrent: “The thing is, we need someone to drive the limo we can trust, cause that nutter keeps making threats!”
Percy: “I'm shitin' masel' man. I need ma ma!”
Dick: “We're all bricking ourselves, man.”
Tommy Vercetti: “Okay guys, calm down, I'll handle this. Normally I wouldn't busy myself with driving around a bunch of drunken Scottish bisexuals, but, in your case I'll make an exception.”
Love Fist band informs Tommy that the psycho somehow survived.

Publicity Tour is the final mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City given to protagonist Tommy Vercetti by heavy metal band Love Fist from their recording studio in Downtown, Vice City.

Mission[]

The psycho that was believed to be killed by Tommy somehow survived and has placed a bomb in the Love Fist Limo, which will go off if the Limo goes under 50 mph, meaning that Tommy has to drive over that speed for 1 hour and 50 minutes (1 minute and 50 seconds in real time) until Love Fist defuses the bomb in the limo. During the mission, a detonation bar will appear on the top right side of the screen. If Tommy goes beneath a certain speed, it will fill up. If he goes above it, the bar will deplete. If the bar fills up completely, the limo explodes and if it explodes with the player inside, they will be wasted, both of which will end the mission in a failure. When the bomb is defused, Tommy drives Love Fist to their gig and after a cut-scene, the mission is complete.

Mission Objectives[]

In order to complete the mission the player must:

  • Drive around the city while Love Fist defuses the bomb.
  • Drive Love Fist to the venue.

Reward[]

The reward for completing this mission is $8,000. The Love Fist limo will also spawn outside the recording studio (except for the original PS2 version).

Post-Mission Phone Call[]

Mitch Baker: Hello Tommy?

Tommy: Yeah?

Mitch Baker: It's Baker. I just wanted to say I really enjoyed the show. Me and the boys want to thank you, and remind you, you got our respect. Good day. Keep riding hard, son.

Trivia[]

  • The mission is based on 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. Coincidentally, Dennis Hopper, the voice actor of Steve Scott, starred in the movie.
  • The rain in this mission is scripted.
  • This is the only time in the game that Love Fist are encountered outside of cutscenes.
  • The bomb seemed to be a set of Boomshine bottles inside the limo's drink cabinet, wired to the engine that would set off if it goes to a stop or a lower speed.
  • The default radio station at the start of the mission is always Emotion 98.3, and after defusing the bomb, the radio will automatically tune in to V-Rock, regardless if the radio is off or not.
  • There is a glitch in the PC version of the game, that if the player activates the replay function (F1 key) when the Love Fist members are talking at a certain time, their dialogue will be continued playing in full version in the replay scene, and after the scene ends, they will keep on chatting as normal. It is possible to use this trick to avoid car crashes, speeding down, and will also save a lot of time, thus making the completion of the mission become closer.
