multiplayer isnt free roaming, you get a bunch of deathmatch levels for the various modes, which are:

-deathmatch(and team deathmatch)

-protect tha pimp (one team escorts a randomly appointed 'pimp' to an exit point, the other team tries to kill the pimp, pimp is unarmed except for a one hit kill pimp slap)

-big ass chains(like deathmatch, but each player drops a chain when killed, you need to collects as many chains as possible and drop them off at a moving drop off point, but when you die, you drop your chains. can be played in teams)

-blinged out ride (each team has to upgrade a car to a certain level and bring it to a point in the level, while trying to destroy the other team's car)

me and my flatmate created a 2 man gang just so we can play co-op against other gangs ('Two Crude Dudes', named after the genesis game for some reason), a lot more fun than going againt randoms, and 2v2 team games are quite fun

i wouldnt recommend matches with lots of players until the patch comes out however (lag can be terrible)
