GTAIV Boasts 100 Hours Of Gameplay

Grand Theft Auto IV

Gamers are always looking to get the most out of their purchase, and sometimes, they get a little frustrated when they buy a game that lasts for only five hours or so. Well, how do you feel about a game that's 20 times longer than that?

It seems Rockstar has told VideoGamer.com that it will take a colossal 100 hours for a player to fully complete Grand Theft Auto IV...well, if you take your time. A Rockstar spokesperson issued the time estimation when VideoGamer visited London's HQ for a hands-on with the game.

"If you're not in a rush and you answer the phone when it rings it'll take about 100 hours to complete", the spokesperson said. "It's harder to distinguish between main and side missions - there are loads of both. But there are more main missions than side missions. It's not as clear cut as it used to be because of the phone."

The phone, you say? Yes, the main character's cell phone is used to call NPCs; you will land jobs, secure hot dates, and even arrange drinking sessions with your trusty phone. Supposedly, we will also use the phone to access the multiplayer phase of GTAIV, but we have no further details on that at this time. Still, just knowing the game is ultra-lengthy is a definite plus, right?
