1. Hangman's NOOSE

3. Bomb da Base
4. Bomb da Base II
5. Mafia Work
6. Team Mafia Work
7. Deathmatch

10. Cops 'N Crooks
11. Race
12. GTA Race

• 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, throw molotovs from the window, and even steal your rival's car.


• In "Deathmatch" and "Team Deathmatch", the host gets to decide the number of pedestrians, the amount of traffic, the intervention of police (or lack of), and the type of weapons.


• "Cops 'N Crooks" has 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 don't know where the cops are.


• "Mafia Work" and "Team Mafia Work" has you playing as one of Kenny Petrovic's Mafia henchmen. You must complete hits ordered by the boss (via the cellphone) before your rivals are able to do so.


• A single-player mission called "Hangman's NOOSE" features co-op. You and your friends will be able to escort a mobster, while being pursued by a SWAT team.
