Maybe there are a scratch on the surface of the DVD, try to play it again to see what happen then...;)

mattyg, i hope you didnt enter any codes or cheats for vice city, because some or even most of them cause corrupted save files. Some of the codes work but others mess ya up when you save... this is as close as i can get to your problem... sorry to hear about your loss... i have action replay so i can download any files... if you have one, you should use it.

You also have to remiber not to save at Cherry Popper , the ice cream place, cause I heard from alot of people it screws up your save, that might be what happened.

considering your game is being read off the dvd and the saves are comming from a special partition....that is really weird!!!! Check your dashboad and see if the saves are showing up in the memory! Not trying to scare you but this could be the beginnings of a hd failure.

is that where you have no game loaded and you go to memory? the game was saved at diaz mansion then we went to blow the windows at the north point mall. this was tried a couple of times and saved before it crashed!

i remember doing like 4 missions and i was doing so good tehn i went to save it and it froze on grand theft auto 3. But that was the only time.

Fooey to you! That blows... Ah well... If you like the game whats the problem of playing through it again right?

Have Fun! LoL

Oh and you dissappointed me. I thought you had a clip of a really cool car crash fool.:p

Ouch... If you own a memory card, perhaps it would be worth saving it on there in addition to your hard-drive just in case it happens again or something...that hugz nutz...
