This city's big enough for the both of us. Overall, though, GTA IV will make you glad that Rockstar finally let other people into Grand Theft Auto's world. They possess few of the nooks and crannies you get in a great Call of Duty or Halo map. I found the death-match games underwhelming, in part because GTA's targeting system isn't very fluid, but also because the maps weren't well designed. Other modes, however, are more of a letdown.

If, like me, you're a subpar driver, you can simply abandon the goal and become a machine of revenge - setting up a roadblock, waiting for other drivers to approach, then blasting them to pieces. The result is exquisite madness, with drivers jumping out of wrecked compact cars and in 18-wheel trucks, then tearing off down crowded sidewalks while followed by lowriders hurling Molotov cocktails. Its also a good replacement for GFWL as GFWL has many major issues, such as the kick bug. GTA Connected is a third party modification, used for many games such as GTA VC, III, even SA, but well use it for GTA IV.
One clear winner is GTA Race, which blends car racing with combat: You can assault one another's vehicles, and even carjack one another. So far the best way to play multiplayer, is to use GTA Connected. There are 15 different modes of online play, most of which are pretty good. I'm still wondering what the hell happened to him. Our third team member emerged triumphantly. Suddenly, off in the distance, we saw a car racing toward us. We got out of our vehicles wondering, Hey, where's the third member of our team? So we stood around for two or three minutes, puzzled, admiring the morning sunshine.
During one mission, one of my partners and I arrived at a waterfront checkpoint - him in a battered van, me in a sports car. This leads to some quite funny incidents. But with the mission modes of GTA IV, you're given a really big chunk of sandbox to play in, so there are seemingly zillions of different ways your teammates can accomplish a mission. Most console multiplayer gaming takes place on fairly small maps. The sheer scale of Liberty City makes for online console play that's far more open-ended than anything I'd ever before seen. Since I didn't have to drive, I was able to enjoy some sightseeing - zooming my camera around to different, Hollywood-like angles - that was never possible when I was the one steering. At one point, two partners and I piled into a Ferrari while another of my teammates raced across the city. Much as aficionados of multiplayer gaming would have predicted, my teammates pulled off some hilariously unexpected moves: They'd drive in more spastic or more cunningly accurate patterns than I'd ever seen - or attempted - inside the game they'd perform seemingly kamikaze moves with an AK-47 that the artificial intelligence would never have dared.īetter yet, multiplayer missions give you some subtle yet fascinating new ways to experience the city.
