You Can't Beat 100%

As of about midnight this/last night on May 19th/20th (whichever you wanna call it), I reached 100% in the "Game Completion" statistic of Grand Theft Auto IV. Time taken: Around 52 hours (more when you factor in loading saved games and multiplayer).

Hopefully it'll be enough to earn a "Key to the City" prize from Rockstar... I may have just barely snuck in under the time limit for the contest.

That gives me 40 out of 50 of the achievements in the game. I still have to win some races, roll over my car 6 times, and then play a whole lot of multiplayer.

Review will come soon, but in the meantime, if you're over 17/18, I HIGHLY recommend the game. Which is still funny to me, since I've despised the series in the past for various reasons, not the least of which that I found the games boring after a short time. The story and moral conflict in the main game alone are worth the price of admission, easily.
