Previous reports from Rockstar say that the game should clock in at around 50 hours but GamesRadar reports they blitzed through it in 24 for their review.

That’s a hard question to answer really. I finished the story mode in 24 hours, without skipping cut scenes, but I literally blitzed through and hardly took on any side missions. If I was to play it again (which I will be, right on launch day!) I’d say to wrap up the story will take at least 40 hours at a normal pace, plus another – say, 25? – to wrap up the remainder of the missions. In truth though, you could be paving the streets of Liberty City in a year’s time and still not have discovered everything. Plus, if you’re a 360 owner, there’s the promise of downloadable content to come…My advice is: just kick back, take your time and breathe every fresh sight and sound in, don’t simply rush through just to finish it before your mates. I wish I’d had that option!

So around 65 hours on average to do everything. Then there’s the whole online component and the downloadable content coming in the near future and you’ve got one of the most content packed games in history.
