Grand Theft Auto IV Multiplayer
Good lord… This sounds amazing :X Asymmetrical multiplayer zomg.
But it’s in Cops ’n Crooks that GTA 4’s multiplayer really takes off, a mode that offers a twist on the VIP/Marked Man genre and that grows organically from the singleplayer game. Two teams of four start: one team of cops in a patrol car, and one team of robbers on foot and a short distance away. One robber is the boss who must reach a designated point on the map and escape on a speedboat. The robbers can see where the escape vehicle is, and the police can see where the robbers are. The setup is the foundation for gloriously emergent chaos as plans form and go awry by the second. The stories we experienced included a pursuit over a bridge that ended as, bumper-to-bumper, the robbers managed to make the police car smash headfirst into another vehicle. The cops could have restarted the engine and only lost a few seconds – except the collision had sent the driver through the windscreen, over the edge of the bridge and into the water below. Score one for the crooks. In another chase, the robbers reached their boat with no cops in sight, got out of their car and were promptly sniped. In another, the cops cornered the crooks who escaped with a death-defying leap over a ramp and into a nearby alley – the cops tried the same, and fell agonizingly short as their laughing quarry drove off, waving goodbye.
