US, November 25, 2008 - Grand Theft Auto IV's appeal isn't only the open-ended offline single-player experience. Like with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, GTA IV for PC will support play in a number of online cooperative and competitive modes, some of which support of up to 32 players. We got a chance to check out a few of the modes recently, in competition against a number of Rockstar employees from their various studios.

Before jumping into a match we checked out the adjustable parameters for creating a game which included a number of things. Police can be toggled on or off, density of pedestrians adjusted, weather and time of day selected, maps and icons can be hidden, along with a variety of other customization settings. In addition there'll be better search options when trying to find a game online, though during the session we didn't get much of a chance to see that as the matches were being set up for us.
