Grand Theft Auto IV multiplayer details become clearer

Posted on March 14th, 2008 at 22:27 EDT

PlayStation Magazine based in Spain has recently released a lot more concrete information in regards to Grand Theft Auti IV's multiplayer aspects.  Apparently there will be 15 multiplayer game modes, which is more than likely a lot more than most people anticipated.  With the game just over a month away we seem to be getting more details every week about the upcoming title.

Below we've included a list of the 15 multiplayer modes.

- Hangmans NOOSE
- Car Jack City
- Bomb da Base
- Bomb da Base II
- Mafia Work
- Team Mafia Work
- Deathmatch
- Team Deathmatch
- Turf War
- Cops N Crooks
- Race
- GTA Race
- Deal Breaker
- Free Roam

We understand that this only covers 14 of the game modes, however, the last mode wasn't revealed.  PSM Spain also had these tidbits available for a few of the game modes.

·         In Race and GTA Race, the host gets to decide which vehicles are involved, and the number of laps to be played. You can shoot and throw molotovs from the window, and even steal your rivals' car.

·         In Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch, the host gets to decide the number of pedestrians, the amount of traffic, the intervention of police (or not), and the type of weapons.

·         In Cops N Crooks, one team play as cops and the other play as criminals. The cops must stop the criminals from escaping. They can monitor the locations of the criminals on their GPS systems, while the criminals don't know where the cops are.

·         In Mafia Work and Team Mafia Work, you play as one of Kenny Petrovic's mafia henchmen. You must complete hits ordered by the boss (via the cellphone) before your rivals are able to do so.

·         The map used in multiplayer is the same map that is used for single player.

·         A single-player mission called "Hangman's NOOSE" features co-op. You and your friends will be able to escort a mobster, while being pursused by a SWAT team.

Online play will feature 16 player capabilities.  There will also be character customization available online as well.  You'll be able to select your age, race, sex, skin color, clothing, and even your hairstyle.  This will give each player an individual look.  Hopefully Rockstar includes enough customization to make the experience truly unique each time you play.

As more information drops on Grand Theft Auto IV, we'll be sure to pick it up for you.  Stay tuned for more as we're sure more information will be made available over the next month.
