There is a difference between missions in GTA VC and missions in GTA 3, as here in VC they include multiple objectives, well-written dialogue, and the story is pushed forward.

This action-packed mission involves lots of shooting and completing it will get you the mansion as personal property!
Helicopters started having a big role in GTA Vice City of all the GTA series for the first time. In GTA 3 there was the Dodo plane, but when it comes to GTA Vice City, it moved things to a higher level. So it became a lot easier to move across the map. When we talk about some gang missions that have all the components to be great, amazing, and worth mentioning, Phnom Penh 86 is one of them. Here, your time working for Ricardo Diaz is ramping up.
The mission starts off with you being in a chopper together with Tommy taking control of the gun, while Lance is flying the vehicle. While airborne, a huge number of enemies are coming your way and you need to take them down as fast as you can, and it is all followed by great explosions, just like in blockbuster action movies.
The mission ends with you getting dropped off at the foot of the building, working your way through it, and fighting enemies while trying to get to the roof of the building, so that you can be picked up.
In GTA Vice City missions, there were some of them including helicopters, but even though you didn't drive in this task, it is probably the best helicopter mission there is. Fans absolutely love the action scenery here, even though it is one of the hardest missions.

Colonel Cortez doesn't make many appearances throughout the game. This one in particular is a huge battle on board his boat against a huge wave of enemies. You have a task to help the Colonel fight off French enemies that want to take him down while he is located on his boat.
In the beginning, you can easily fight enemies off from the safety of a boat, but later on, as the mission progresses, the situation escalates quickly.
At one point, a helicopter appears, which immediately becomes your priority. But, there is some health on board that you can grab to help you heal. This mission is not in the main story so some players might have forgotten it, but we decided it should be on our list, as it is full of action and also has some brilliant set-piece moments many fans loved. It is also the hardest mission for some players.

In this mission in GTA Vice City called Copland, you and Lance have a task to disguise as cops and then plant a bomb in the shopping mall. To do that, you have to get a two-star wanted level, enter a garage and make sure there are two cops following you into it.
Like in any other mission, the toughest part is getting away with a high wanted level when knowing the shortcuts and where the wanted stars are a crucial part of completing the mission.

This is probably the most iconic mission in GTA Vice City. This mission had a much bigger role than just making you have fun while playing it. This one later set the path for many missions and storylines in the GTA franchise, as it represents the original GTA bank robbery.
While trying to take over the city, you can buy assets all around the map. One of these assets is the Nightclub. This mission is different than anything else you can do in GTA Vice City. It is also one of the hardest missions in GTA VC, if not the toughest. Bank robbery itself is ultra-fun, so even if we excluded every other aspect from this mission, it would still be great just because of just taking off so many enemies.
However, the moment you take all the money from the vault, the main room of the bank gets flooded with a huge number of enemies, which is tough as they are some of the most powerful in Grand Theft Auto. When you exit the map and while trying to escape, you realize your driver is dead, which eventually puts you in a situation where, yet another time, you have to find a different escape route while they're all trying to get to you. Eventually, when you succeed in running away, you immediately get an enormous boost to your pile of cash.
