If you take your time, mind, and answer the phone.

GTA 4 will take roughly 100 hours to finish, Rockstar has told VideoGamer.com.

During our visit to Rockstar's London HQ for a hands-on with 2008's biggest game, we asked a spokesperson how long it would take to finish the series' next-gen debut. The answer: about 100 hours, if you take your time.

"If you're not in a rush and you answer the phone when it rings it'll take about 100 hours to complete", we were told. "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."

In GTA 4 main character Niko's phone is used to call computer-controlled characters, arrange drinking sessions, sort out dates with women and call in jobs. It'll also be the portal through which players will access GTA 4's multiplayer, on which there is currently little info.

Well I'm up to 79 hours and have completed 57.5%. :)

Having a total blast on this sensational game.. With something like this that we've waited over a year for I can't see the point in blasting through each mission in 2 weeks - what a total waste of something special. To me, I like to explore, do side missions and generally take my time.. By doing it this way I am 3 months in and events in the main storyline actually feel like they are occuring in the correct time frame.. It feels like Niko has grown in this city and I've been along for the ride. If you finish this in 2 weeks all that pacing is lost I feel...

I certainly think I'll hit 100 hours before I finish...
