Ever since Grand Theft Auto 3 was released to the world, gamers have been scrambling to jump into Rockstar's virtual reality of violence and corruption. While a handful of modifications have done a superb job of bringing online crime to the masses, there's always been a lacking presence of multiplayer in the official games themselves. With Grand Theft Auto IV, Rockstar has finally delivered a fully fleshed-out multiplayer experience: • There are a total of 15 game modes divided into three main categories (Player Match, Ranked and Party Mode), each with unique objectives and gameplay types. • The maximum number of players is 16 on the X360 and PS3 versions, and 32 on the PC version, although various modes have limitations on the number of players that can join. • Configuration of each mode can be adjusted by the host.

Vehicles types, volume of traffic, number of pedestrians, police presence, weapons, auto-aim and weather can all be controlled. • Characters are completely customisable. You can essentially create your own unique online character by adjusting their hair, sex, race, clothing etc.

Additional options can be unlocked by increasing your rank in Ranked multiplayer matches. • Games are, in essence, random. Upon choosing a game mode to play, you will either be thrown into an already made game or you will start your own. • Killing another player will get you $100. A dead player will usually drop approximately $15.

Killing yourself will cause you to lose $100. • Ranked matches, like everything else in multiplayer GTA, requires money to get ahead. The amount needed to gain a rank increases exponentially as you progress. ACCESSING MULTIPLAYER To jump into a multiplayer match, you need to have the cellphone.

(The cell, however, is given to you very early in the storyline, so this shouldn't be a problem.) To jump into multiplayer, do the following: • Bring up your mobile phone. • Access the cellphone menu. • Scroll down to Multiplayer. • Enter the Multiplayer submenu, at which point you can access multiplayer matches, customize your character or view a multiplayer tutorial.

The multiplayer tutorial will give you all of the information you need to know to jump into multiplayer games, and is a great way to introduce yourself to the dynamics of multiplayer Grand Theft Auto.

TEAM MAFIYA WORK 2-8 Teams You're a member of a crew doing contract work for the mafiya - including such plum gigs as escorting wanted men, picking up MacGuffins and stealing cars. Work as a team to complete contracts before the time period ends and get the rewards. You'll probably want to do your best to scupper the other crew's work as well.

Each contract you complete gives your team cash, and the crew with the most cash at the end of the round wins. PROTIP: Don't play nice. Sabotaging the opposing team's efforts can pay off big in the end. TEAM CAR JACK CITY 2-8 Teams Cars spawn parked around the map and the teams must steal them and take them to a drop off point. The cash teams get for dropping off stolen vehicles depends on their condition - teams get less cash the more damaged they are. The exception to this are special bonus cars, stuffed with drugs, which give a set amount of cash on delivery no matter how damaged they are. Your crew has to get hold of whatever vehicles the boss wants.

Whichever crew makes the most money wins. PROTIP: If possible, send out a couple of teammates to cause trouble for the competition and mess up their vehicles. Less money for them means more success for you.

A team-based mode in which the Crooks must get their Boss to safety, while the Cops have to take him down. The Boss is marked with a cross hair. This mode has two sub-modes: All for One and One for All. • In All for One, one team is made up of Crooks and a Boss, and the other team is made up of Cops. The Cops are trying to hunt down and kill the Boss while the Crooks are trying to protect him. The Cops win by killing the Boss and the Crooks win by getting the Boss safely to the getaway vehicle and escaping.
