Grand Theft Auto: Vice City contains 100 hidden packages for you to collect throughout the campaign. The first 55 are on the first island and its surrounding areas. You can find these in a guide detailed here. The next batch of packages is inaccessible until gaining access to the second landmass. You unlock this area significantly faster than the islands in GTA 3, so you are able to obtain all 100 packages just a few hours into the game.
We recommend getting the packages sooner rather than later, so as to take advantage of the bonuses for some of the more difficult missions. Once you collect all one hundred, you also earn one hundred thousand dollars as a bonus. The packages are organized from northernmost to southernmost, with the final handful being the ones you need a helicopter to find.
