Second Grand Theft Auto IV trailer released

Your IT - Entertainment

"Looking For That Special Someone", the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV is now available on Rockstar's web site, Xbox.com and Xbox Live. There's also a lower-quality version on Yahoo Games for the bandwidth-deprived.

There's more fast driving, helicopters, shooting and explosions. And more of the visual gags that delighted observers of the first trailer - including New York's Brighton Beach becomes Liberty City's Hove Beach (check a map of England's south coast if you don't get that one) and an ad for Sprunk soda ("5c a bottle"). You'll probably need the HD version of the trailer to spot them all.

Grand Theft Auto IV for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 is scheduled for release on October 16 in North America and October 19 in Europe. The regular version will cost $US59.95, while the Special Edition packaged in a safety deposit box with other goodies is an extra $US30. Pre-orders are being taken.
