Take-Two shuts down $2 PS4 game that ripped off GTA Vice City's most infuriating mission, but somehow misses the accompanying $5 bundle that includes 10 knock-off anime avatars

Last week, a bizarre little game called HeliCity Demolition Man offered a full unlicensed remake of GTA Vice City's most infuriating mission. Now it seems publisher Take-Two has taken notice, and - get your surprised face ready - done its best to scrub the knock-off from the internet.

Cheap knock-off games hit digital stores all the time, but HeliCity Demolition Man stood out for the specificity of its inspirational material.

It was $2 and seemingly an easy platinum trophy, likely intended as its two biggest selling points.
