We consider the scattering amplitudes of the form V{sub 1}V{sub 2}{yields}V{sub 3}V{sub 4}, where V{sub i}={gamma}, Z, W or g (=gluon) are the standard model gauge bosons, due to graviton exchange in Kaluza-Klein theories with large extra dimensions. This leads to a number of experimentally viable signatures at high energy leptonic and hadronic colliders. We discuss the observability or attainable limits on the scale of the gravitational interactions (m{sub D}), that may be obtained at an e{sup +}e{sup -} Next Linear Collider (NLC) and at the CERN LHC, by studying some of these types of gauge-boson scattering processes. We find that the attainable limits through these type of processes are m{sub D}(greater-or-similar sign)3 TeV at the NLC and m{sub D}(greater-or-similar sign)6 TeV at the LHC.
