i have tried both multiplayer versions of gta (gtat and multi theft auto) and if your interested in LAN or online play of GTA3 or vice city heres what you can expect
both tested via 2x100MB bridged LAN
GTAT (Grand Theft Auto Tournament)
www.gtat.tk
with this one both players start at the airport and there is only a select few cars that you can only get at the air port, needless to say, if you stray too far from the airport this version will get boring real quick
it's very glitchy at the moment but i still say they are doing a top job for a game not originally designed for multiplayer.
that said i would probably wait for a later version of this mod

MTA & MTAVC (Multi Theft Auto)
www.mtavc.com
this is glitchy as well but a lot more fun.
with cars spread throughout your map (use your taget button to bring up icons of car locations on your radar),its important to note that neither version at this point of time have no computer controlled pedestrians for bandwidth purposes, so get a few friends if you want a real rampage.
a lot of the time i was bashing my brother in my screen and he was bashing me in his but neither one of us was fighting back in each others screen (i dont know if this is fixed in the new 0.22 version)
weapons are also widespred through the map so this is the version i'd recommend until GTA World Online comes out http://www.gtaworldonline.tk/
i know i havent gone into much detail but the info is all on the links

I play MTA VC myself, it's buggy, but still alot of fun, they are working on stopping the crashing problem, if that's gone then little will give problems.

GTA World Online apparently will feature cpu controlled peds controlled by the local machine which in my mind means you could see someone beating nothing due to your peds being in a diff spot.
there needs to be some type of synchronisation if they are going to use peds, especailly since most people who do play multiplayer over the web are very competetive.
i vote leave the peds until broadband becomes gigaband.

have found another multiplayer mod for GTA3 (not sure about support for GTA:VC)
with peds active and cpu controlled traffic active.
it is called GGM and can be found here: guardians.ch/ggm/
GGM 0.4 is the latest version

after esting GGM on GTA3
i have found it to be the best GTA mulplayer mod around
as i said before it includes all the cpu controlled peds and traffic
the other two alternatives dont
as glitchy as the other two but a lot more fun
i highly recommend GGM multiplayer adaption to anyone with gta3
(not yet cmpatible with gta:vice city)

I was wondering if you knew about any cheats or patchs that were availiable. I'm not so familiar with computers so finding information is difficult.:o
