GTA IV Missions Progression Guide

Rockstar outdid themselves when they launched Grand Theft Auto IV. The latter is a massive step up from its predecessors and set new standards for gaming as we know it. However, if you are anything like me, you probably need a GTA IV Missions Progression to show you how to progress through missions.

When I played GTA IV for the first time, I spent 70% of my time roaming around the map not knowing what to do next. And when it came down to the actual missions, I failed. A lot!

So, to help avoid the hell I wasted half of my life in, here is a simple guide to guide you through every mission. Before we get into the guide, here is a rule of thumb:

The mission will fail if you get wasted, busted by the cops, or if you fail to protect your partner. In addition, do not leave your partners behind, destroy their properties, or abandon the mission after you started it. The result is mission failure and you will be forced to do it all over again.
