How to Unlock the City in Grand Theft Auto IV

When you start a new game of "Grand Theft Auto IV," you will be confined to a limited area of the city. At first, you can access only the easternmost islands. Bridges to the central and western islands contain roadblocks that prevent crossing. To unlock new sections of your available map, you'll need to progress through the main story of the game. Once you complete the required missions, a new island will be open to explore.
