A few are a bit eccentric, but you never get the sense that they’re cartoony – these could all be real people in any major city in the United States.
While most of the game centers on Gay Tony this is after all a Grand Theft Auto game and there’s no shortage of interesting characters asking you to carry out missions for them. From the beginning you’ll notice that Luis is a great protagonist – sure he seems to like killing people for money and does a lot of really bad things, but he’s doing so to ensure a better life for himself following a stint in prison for drug trafficking. Luis is a loyal and hardworking “problem solver” for his boss Tony “Gay Tony” Price – one of Liberty’s hottest nightclub owners. In The Ballad of Gay Tony, you play not as the titular character, but as his business partner ally Luis Lopez. ".there’s no shortage of interesting characters asking you to carry out missions for them." It’s particularly nice to start a game not in the slums, but in Star Junction (Liberty City’s version of Times Square). It may not seem like much, but it makes The Ballad of Gay Tony seem incredibly fresh. The Ballad of Gay Tony changes the equation and thrusts you into a story that involves Liberty City’s upper echelon.
The formula for Grand Theft Auto games has long been the same, you start off as a lowly no name and through a series of illegal activities and “favors” you work your way to the top. While The Lost and the Damned comes off as predictable and by the numbers at times, the real jewel of the package is The Ballad of Gay Tony which could be the best content the series has ever seen. And it does – to an extent.Įpisodes from Liberty City is unquestionably fun, but as there was when the games launched as separate episodic content on the Xbox 360, there’s a clear divide of quality between the two games. No, the question when reviewing a game like Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City isn’t one of the source material – it’s if the new content adds to the experience at all. You’ve already stolen your fair share of cars, ran over enough pedestrians and partaken in a few of the…ahem…pleasures that nights in Liberty City has to offer. Let’s skip the formalities in this review shall we? You’ve already played Grand Theft Auto IV.
