Xbox World Journalist completes GTA IV.

Games Radar have an interview on their website with the deputy editor of Xbox World 360 magazine. A man who is the first journalist in the world to complete the story missions on Grand Theft Auto IV. He answers some questions about what he likes in the game and why you should buy it, but the most interesting is with regards to the time it takes to complete the game.

In terms of the time it takes to finish, how does it compare with others in the series?

That's a hard question to answer really. I finished the story mode in 24 hours, without skipping cut scenes, but I literally blitzed through and hardly took on any side missions. If I was to play it again (which I will be, right on launch day!) I'd say to wrap up the story will take at least 40 hours at a normal pace, plus another – say, 25? – to wrap up the remainder of the missions. In truth though, you could be paving the streets of Liberty City in a year's time and still not have discovered everything. Plus, if you're a 360 owner, there's the promise of downloadable content to come...My advice is: just kick back, take your time and breathe every fresh sight and sound in, don't simply rush through just to finish it before your mates. I wish I'd had that option!

So there you have it. If you rush through the game as fast as you can, you'll have the story finished in a day. 100% completion will most likely take close to 100 hours I imagine.
