Not anywhere near as half-assed as I imagined Rockstar!

People who doubt Rockstar' s greatness don' t deserve to play GTA4.

The multiplayer modes sound fantastic. I already have fun racing around the streets of Paradise City but racing, walking, shooting and and beating the holy hell out of 15 other players at once in Liberty City sounds almost too good to be true. 16 player city wide death matches sound good enough but I’m more excited about the ‘Cops N Crooks’ multiplayer. Hopefully as the cops you don’t have to just kill the crooks but knock them to the floor and ‘bust’ them properly.

The races I’m less interested in. Racing in GTA games has never worked properly thanks to all the random variables of traffic getting in your way and the lack of damage your car can take.

Overall I’m very impressed and it makes a much wanted game even more desirable.

This sounds awesome. I am so buying this some time around when it comes out. I wish i knew exactly it said as I believe I am missing some details I would enjoy, but I guess it will be a nice surprise when it comes out.

Race & GTA Race: Skip the Stop Lights (pag 48)

There are many games about urban racing... but none in which you can throw molotov cocktails and shoot at your enemies. Anything goes to reach the goal first... even stealing another car when yours is nothing more than a smoking pile of junk.

Death Match with Rocket Launchers (pag 48)

The Person hosting the match dictates the rules in each game. In race and GTA race that person decides the vehicles and laps. In Death match and Team Death Match, the number of bystanders, whether or not the police and traffic will play a part in the match and the weapons to be used. We tried a match where everyone was armed with rocket launchers and the city was just exploding all over.

An Epic Moment: Us fighting against 15 dudes with rocket launchers (pag 49)

Mafiya Work and Team Mafiya Work turn you into a hitman for mob man Kenny Pretrovic, competing with your rivals to perform every command that your boss sends you via cell phone before them. You will be able to compete against other people in illegal races in the Race and GTA Race, using firearms to neutralize your rivals and stealing a new car when yours bites the dust. You will be able to relieve the old game of cop and robber but monster sized in Cops' N Crooks, where a group of the players play as criminals on the run and the other group as cops doing whatever it takes to kill the leader of the crooks. To make even more interesting, cops can detect the location of other cops with their GPS, but crooks will never know where the coppers will appear from, allowing for ambushes and suicidal chases to ensue in good numbers. There is also a cooperative mode called Hangman' s NOOSE, where your mission is to escort, along with your partners, a mob boss to a helicopter while the SWAT relentlessly chase you. There are also the modes Deal Breaker, Turf War, Car Jack City, Bomb Da Base II, Free Mode... if the 100 hours of the story mode seem short, the multiplayer will keep you busy for 10 years.

Exclusive Hands on the Multiplayer (pag 46)

Few days after Stan By tried the missions in GTA IV, we come back to Rockstar in London to play before any the different modes of GTA. For four and a half hours, we where competing Online against a good part of the team, headset ready and in front of...

Continue later, have to go to the phone

Thanks Chimura I didn' t know that you could read Spanish. Well I do remember you saying you were from someplace when you were younger, but couldn' t remember the name. Also it seems that this was for the PS3, while I assume they won' t skimp on multiplayer for the 360, is there any mention of that in the articles?
