- Essential to get 100% completion
I completed that main story of GTA4 and some of the side games also but was not getting anywhere near 100% completion, then I picked this book up.

The story is only 68%, and this book gives you lots of detail on how to make up the remainder of the game. From pidgeons to when to meet a hidden character and where to pick up weapons for free and armour, stunt jumps etc - it is all in here. These bits of the game are really time consuming to master, and without a guide I don't think I would be able to manage it. There are also a few handy (pull out) maps included.

Whilst the major chunk of this book is a step-by-step walk through of the main story - I bought it to help steer me towards the 100% mark. I think in this respect, ... Read More:

- Could be more information
If you want a walkthrough of the main storyline then this is a good book for it. It also gives you details of all the flying rats and unique stunt jumps.

However the book does seem slightly flawed.

1. There is no page at the start with all the cars/bikes/helicopters etc so you know what there is.

2. There is no page to tell you where to find the exotic cars.

3. On the pullout map at the back it gives you locations for 10 exotic cars. When you get there the car is no where to be found. No clues as to how / when they are supposed to be there.

So it does have some useful information but there is a lot they have missed out and just made a half assed attempt.

- Not worth the cash
If I knew this was going to be just a walkthrough of the main game (which, apart from the flying rat and jump guide it pretty much is) then I wouldn't have bothered.

You can find better walkthoughs online.

I bought this expecting it to have pics of the cars so you could identify them and more detailed info on the rest of the city.

There is only one pull out map and that's just the basic city with the same info on that you get with the game itself. It would have been better to have the weapon, armour and health maps as pull outs too.

From the thanks at the back of the guide I think the writers spent too much time being pampered in New York and drinking Maker's Mark than playing through the game and ... Read More:

- GTA IV STRATERGY GUIDE
First of all i had to give it 5 stars.
this is what you need if you wish to complete the game 100% and i mean 100%, the book is fully detailed with hiden weapons, and small objecties and gives you a brief idea about the characters.
Also for the xbox 360 it tells you how to complete your 50 acheivments.
Thumbs UP!

- Great Guide for a Great Game
This is a really comprehensive book, as you'd expect from Bradygames. It has all the information and tips you'd want from a strategy guide, but as another review mentioned, it has changed in format. The guide is split into colour coded sections - which i assume roughly correspond to mission strands - and incorporates in the main story side missions such as Vigilante, Car Theft and Random Characters. Though it does tell you at the end where to find hidden items and jumps I did miss the Vehicle showroom, which is why I'm not giving it the full five stars.
