    so...how is this game online?? I know when i use to play on xbox live it was really fun even though people kept dropping out of the game and there was this occasional terrible lag.

    Also did they add any modes in the multiplayer version? :)

    Well, I was up all night watching SNL and playing GTA IV on the same time. In short, it's pretty fun. Lots of game modes. The racing ones seem to be the most fun to me, but Deathmatch gets boring after a while, though deathmatch with vehicle is a step up. I think most would enjoy it.

    xbox live/console gaming is actually in a huge sense more about the social interaction you should look at it that way you can meet some really cool peope :D

    I have a very hard time finding decent online servers. There are very few populated green servers. I cannot connect to anything that's yellow or red.

    The first game I had online was a blast. It was free mode but some people treated it like death match. The second game was abysmal because the admin restricted things to pistols and that was about it.
