You can do drive-bys in LCS like in any other GTA. I really think LCS is really great and it's really a good game to play. It may not rank up to VCS but it's a great game.
Well drive by's without seeing Toni Actually shoot, But after that its ok, But in VCS, when you do the VCS Muiltiplayer, You could do it in there.
Though, if you set the camera view to directly in front of the car, you can turn to the direction Toni's shooting in and you can see him shoot unless you're talking about passenger drive-bys.
