• In Race and GTA Race, the host gets to decide which vehicles are involved, and the number of laps to be played. You can shoot and throw molotovs from the window, and even steal your rivals' car.
• In Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch, the host gets to decide whether the police can intervene or not. The host also gets to decide the number of pedestrians, the amount of traffic, and the type of weapons.
• In Cops n Crooks, one team play as cops and the other play as criminals. The cops must stop the criminals from escaping. They can monitor the locations of the criminals on their GPS systems, while the criminals have no idea where the cops are.

• A single-player mission called "Hangman's NOOSE" features co-op. You and your friends will be able to escort a mobster, while being pursused by a SWAT team.
• The map used in multiplayer is the same map that is used for single player.

Your online character is fully customizable. You can alter his race, sex, hair, clothing etc.

I guess that's why Niko won't be customizable, I like me some pimp-ass shoes though. I'm primarily interested in the SP portion of the game, but I loved SR's MP, so I am a wee bit excited for Mafia Work.

The Sweet thing is that THERE IS GONNA BE COPS, PEDESTIRANS AND TRAFFIC...just like SP, Saints row didnt have that at all. Just imagine the Cops and Crooks game, (Zoom has to be the Sheriff), and when a the Fight breaks out you hear gun shots then pedestrians start scattering like Roachs in Open Light.

Awesomeness.

Sweetness. They better not have only three maps per gametype like in Saints Row. And there better be gang/clan support.

Complex Blog » Xbox Drops 500 Limited Edition GTA IV 360s

Microsoft added to the buzz leading up to the anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto IV by dropping a limited run of 500 GTA-branded Xbox 360 Elite systems and a briefcase full of peripherals today. We got our hands on number 170 out of 500. More pics after the jump. The guys at Xbox took an Elite system and, using automotive-quality paint, touched up the sides of the 360 with the GTA IV box art and a serial number. Not a bad way to welcome the first title in the franchise that didn’t drop as a Sony exclusive. Rockstar is also producing exclusive episodes for 360 users available for download this fall. Hopefully it involves Bill Gates and Warren Buffet rolling up on GTA IV’s featured hitter Niko Bellic. The game finally drops on April 29. Unfortunately, the limited run of GTA IV 360s ain’t available in stores.
