Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony

I was obsessed with Gta 4 I lived and breathed it this game I loved it you play Luis Fernando Lopez a bouncer and bodyguard of Tony Prince I really got into this game Rockstar really opened up with homosexuality and they do it really much its a new approach for the company this is not a game for the LGBt community but its Rockstar its gritty violent and controversial you will love this game you have to be 17+ or 18 in nz

The Ballad of Gay Tony is the best DLC in history for me The DLC story may not be as compelling as the original game story, but it has a high overall quality The gameplay is really amazing, the variety of stages is extremely high and can keep the player busy for hours. Side activities are really fun too The variety of weapons has also increased and we are seeing a lot of weapons The movements of the main character have also become smoother, although I liked the character control system in the main game more A new type of helicopter has been added to the game, which is really attractive A parachute has also been added to the game and its control has become much better and lighter compared to SAN ANDREAS The technical and artistic graphics have not changed from the main game and are still of high quality In general, the quality of this DLC is extremely high, be sure to try it !!

This installment jacks the GTA: San Andreas ambiance and imports it to Liberty City, with new features & mini-games (top-down golf, sky-diving, dancing, club bouncing) some of which get tiresome semi-quickly and are only worth pursuing for the odd achievement. All that out of the way, there's a reason why this is one of the most celebrated entries in the franchise - essentially coming off as a quasi take on Bret Easton Ellis' 'Glamorama', this lights-flashing, dance, dance, raining-confetti-but-the-confetti-are-bullets, the-party-never-stops, glitz'n'glamour high-life after-hours side of L.C. pumps up the volume on the over-caffeinated city that never sleeps (or quits coughing up blood). Missions include rampaging thru town in a S.W.A.T. tank, hijacking a train car, an assault on a yacht via attack chopper, and for the finale, catching a flight that ends up going down in flames while you parachute to safety. It's a rave you won't want to quit anytime soon.

I have always perceived the "episodes from Liberty City" duology as two great DLCs, but each in their own way. The Lost and Damned is pretty much a perfect story DLC, which adds even more depth to the narrative themes established in GTA IV, while The Ballad of Gay Tony further improves on the gameplay by adding many things that fans have been asking for since the release of GTA IV (like parachutes, a much bigger variety of weapons and vehicles, better outfits etc.)

The story is not as amazing as in the original GTA IV or TLAD, but it's still nice to take a break from gloomy crime dramas and just immense yourself in more lighthearted "Guy Ritchie-esque" criminal shenanigans with many new gameplay features.

All in all, a great standalone DLC.

I have no complaints other than it was a bit too short and lacked more things to do.

Main protagonist was cool. He was a gangsta delivery boy for gay tony.

Gay Tony was a cool gay person. Not flamboyant at all. He was just cool.

it does add parachuting which is fun. Its just like GTA 4. Nothing different really other than characters and somewhat of the story, Which was alright.

Verdict: Great game to pastime.
