GTA IV Video: How to survive a six-star wanted level

We ended up zooming around the airport terminal for a while, which you could probably do until the achievement triggers. But you may well need to change cars so it's best to keep your eye out for an easy steal.

When your car catches fire, you do have more time than the old games gave you before the car explodes, so you have a moment to plan your exit and land near a new ride.

Of course, body armour helps if you have it, but we did it with basic health levels. We would advise, however, to remember to avoid the barricades, which remain in place on the bridges. By the time we realised our mistake and turned, it was too late to avoid a very lead-filled death… but it didn't matter – the achievement triggered one second before the bullets found their mark. Score!

Here's the video:
