I must say that for me, GTA 2 and VC cops are the hardest sh*t. Cops in GTA are extremely easy to evade. Cops in the Driver series however.....You actually gotta have some skill. Not all GTA's have easy cops. VC's are pretty frustating, since they always target your car's wheels first. Also, I remember playing GTA 2 and the cops were just simply, unavoidable. Easy to me. Spikestrips are easy to dodge, and driving on flats isn't a problem.

Also depends on the car.

True, but i'm a damn good driver.

I must say that the cops are annoying as f*ck in Vice City but their stingers were easy to dodge in any car..

If they did get you though you'd be in trouble as the cops are pretty much suicidal by that point. Avoiding them isn't easy when you have no grip.

As a professional player, I can only add that except for at least knowing a map and having a good grip on controls, your vehicle also makes up for it.

Since no car within the limits of this challenge can stand up against the Rhino, it is advised to choose the car that is not slow but is tough enough to bash through the Barracks roadblocks. The best choice for this matter is either the Patriot, the Enforcer or the Sentinel (both civilian and Leone versions). Other cars have either slow speed and acceleration, light mass or crappy handling. Even a decent car like Stinger or Cheetah will not make up for it as it lacks mass to blast through the Barracks blocking the road.

Other thing to keep in mind: Rhinos are deadly so it's best to shake them off as soon as possible. The game's AI directs all Emergency Vehicles to follow the player from behind, while trying to get ahead of the player and ram him off the road. Because of this, speed is as crucial as handling. To shake the Tanks off, take advantage of making them crash into traffic (if there is some remaining) or crash into each other. Make them blast in the Barracks blocking the road, with the Barracks wrecks holding them off from proceeding after you. Use the advantage of narrow alleys, passages and ramps - all to shake off the Tanks, making them crash into objects, flip over or sink.

Another good advice is to use off-road terrain - including as much slopes and hills as possible - all done to avoid the influx of Rhinos on your back. All grounded Emergency Vehicles are bound to the traffic routes programmed within the game and will only follow the player onto the off-road terrain only if he/she is in their direct line of sight. Only the Police Chopper can follow the player everywhere.

Avoid narrow streets and close quarters - this is an ideal place for the Rhinos to get you. This mainly concerns Saint Mark's, Red Light District and Chinatown - these boroughs have narrow streets with buildings framing it all along. The only exception is Waterfront Promenade.

Avoid Porter Tunnel. Use only bridges and boats to move between the islands. Porter Tunnel is closed quarters, and with Rhinos spawning inside, you'll be dead in less than 1 minute even if you are a professional. Unlike any further GTA game, no police boats will follow you on water, leaving the player to deal only with the Police Helicopters on his/her tail. Just make sure you have a vehicle to switch to once you disembark, because taking time to hijack a vehicle from the roads under 6 stars is a suicide - even for professionals.

=====================================================

As an alternative to everything said above, use the Dodo to move around the city from one end to another. But be careful! The Rhinos will spawn in the Airport area, and on the runways as well. If you are not vigilant enough, you're finished.

GTA2 are the hardest just try to survive with army after you.
The army would go in big squads with machine guns in the streets and the would block the ways with tanks shooting at you. Man its a nightmare.

And the top-down view makes it harder....

GTA III was difficult. Cops came in bunches and didn't eff around.

Ans should I even tell that I didn't meet a single roadblock in LCS, except for missions?

Although the cars' tyres were all solid and even if the cops had gone around setting spike strips they would have done no damage to the car's wheels. And that's what I like, really. No popped tyres, no need to avoid the spike strips. But the cops' aggressiveness and precision, added to the good handling of their cars and well-placed roadblocks, more than makes up for it!
