Is anyone else excited for this game? I recently just beat GTA 3 San Andreas the first time and had a blast. There is so much to do in that game besides the missions. I could literary play for hours.
Anyway, GTA 4 will have up to 16 player multiplayer, it allowing you to play co-op and just have a good time. Some cool bullet points about the game I found at the GTA Wikipedia.

The player will also be able to perform a variety of new actions such as climbing telephone poles and fire escapes When selecting the mobile phone, a zoomed-in version of the mobile screen pops up in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen and a list of several commands are made available to the player, such as "meet me here," etc., pushing people who bump into him and calling women for dates or even calling a cab.
The player also has the option of hailing a cab at any time, in order to travel to any address in the city. When riding in the cab as a paying passenger, the player has the option of viewing the journey from the inside, or skipping it to immediately arrive at the destination.
It has been revealed that every street in the game will have a name for the reason that some missions will require the player to go to a specific address
Stealing a parked car can no longer be done simply by opening the door and driving off. Now it involves Niko approaching the car unnoticed, breaking the glass with his elbow, before hot-wiring it—only then can he use it. Also, there will be several animation variations to sneaking up to a car and breaking its window. The way Niko enters the car would look different each time depending where and how he is in relation to the car. Because of the NaturalMotion system used in the game, the way the character will approach the car will be completely random. The trunks of cars will also be utilized by the player, though specific details are unknown. Furthermore, players will be able to choose from four different camera views while in a car according to their needs. The player will also be able to control vehicles such as boats and helicopters.
In addition to the mobile phone, Rockstar has revealed that the player will also make use of the Internet as a means of communication. Although the exact details of the role of the Internet in the game are being kept under wraps, it has been revealed in a GamesTM Magazine article that Niko can access the web from various cyber cafes (one of which is called "TW@") in order to upload his resume for prospective employers.
