All GTAIV Multiplayer Modes Unveiled

It appears that we have to scan the world for new Grand Theft Auto IV information, and it's a good thing we do...the latest edition of PSM in Spain has revealed a full list of multiplayer modes for the hotly anticipated action title, and we're gonna fill you in.

Here you go:

• 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

The host of each multiplayer match will make the rules, so if you opt for "Race," the host will decide on the vehicles and the number of laps, just like he will choose the number of pedestrians and the role police will play in "Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch." The magazine dropped bits of info for each of the preceding modes, in fact: in "Mafia" and "Team Mafia," you will take control of one of Kenny Petrovic's henchmen, and you'll race to complete a series of hits. The dude who knocks off the targets the fastest wins. "Cops N Crooks" is exactly what it sounds like; it's like cops-and-robbers, only in the GTA universe, which makes it that much more appealing.

Some of these modes - like "Hangmans Noose" - will even have a co-op option, and in total, there are 15 multiplayer modes in GTAIV. Each one of them can be accessed through your cell phone, and you can even create a brand new character for online play! Lastly, the magazine confirmed that the player limit for online multiplayer will be 16. April 29 just seems too far away!
