Ready or not, "Grand Theft Auto IV" is only two weeks away. It's widely expected to be 2008's
best-selling game, and players all over the world are planning to call in sick on its April 29
release date. Some Hollywood analysts have even expressed concern that "GTAIV" could put
a dent in the box office for "Iron Man," which opens May 2.
We still have a fortnight before the inevitable furor over the content of "GTAIV," which,
according to the Entertainment Software Rating Board, includes "intense violence, blood,
strong language, strong sexual content, partial nudity and use of drugs and alcohol."
Developer Rockstar Games has been generous about letting us know what else we can
expect, particularly in the game's all-new multiplayer modes.
There's the typical kill-or-be-killed deathmatch; a "cops 'n crooks" team game; and races,
with or without weapons. There are also events where teams can compete to steal the most
cars or perform other contract jobs for the mob. Altogether, Rockstar is promising at least a
dozen multiplayer games, which should keep the rabid fan base happy long after they've
completed the "GTAIV" solo adventure.
