All this guide seems to have is a main mission walkthrough and a few handy maps at the back. Which is great, but I feel it should contain more.
I would've like to see a complete vehicle list and good locations to find them.
The profiles on the main characters are a bit thin on details.
There are no maps showing the locations of the 'Easter Eggs' (Heart of Liberty City etc.) and secret details.
I do like the mini guides to help you find all the stunts and flying rats though.
On the whole a good purchase, but it seems to have been rushed through to come out in time with the game.
I bet Prima could've have done better.

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, it has enabled me to play the game more, and get more value out of it.
All in all, this would qualify it for 4 stars, but I think having to fork out more money for this type of info is asking gamers a bit much. If it had been sold alongside the game for £5, it would probably be 4 star - but as it is, the price (and hence value of the game) takes it down to 3 stars.

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 thinking how to structure their guide well.
Simply looking at Brady's Vice City Guide first would have been a start.
Waste of money. Only gets an extra star for the layout and pics inside which are nicely laid out. Shame about the content.
