Achieving 100% in Grand Theft Auto IV isn’t very difficult, but it takes a great deal of time and patience. To help you along your journey, we have prepared this 100% Checklist for you to follow.

There’s no “right” way to completing this game, that’s the beauty of such an open-ended enviroment. Just play the game, enjoy it and use this to help you check off things you’ve finished.

However, if you are going for Trophy achievements and wish to do it in a single play-through, you should focus on completing the game’s story first, as the trophy requirement is to finish that particular mode within 30 hours, although it’s very easy to do in around 9 hours.
