![]() ![]() ![]() The new weapons include sticky bombs, an explosive shotgun and gold SMG, amongst others. On top of the addition of new challenges and activities in single player, the multiplayer has a range of new weapons and contained areas for your death matches. Or to kill you, it's entirely up to them, but hilarity does ensue. You can release smoke from your pack so friends can track you, and be waiting when you land. This extends to the multiplayer where an aim can be to complete all BASE jumps in as little possible time. This is definitely a blast, but as is the nature with BASE jumping it's always over too quickly, but you can start all over again once you hit the ground. Now you can leap out of your helicopter, or off the top of a tall building only to parachute your way to safety, though you will need to fork out for a chute unless bailing from a chopper. If you get bored with earning money you can take to the golf course, or try out some BASE jumping (yep the BASE jumping is back from GTA III). It works well and more or less completes the picture of Luis as a big shot drug and club runner. This typically involves running drugs and crashing deals in an attempt to get rich fast. A number of other mini games are also included, which generally entail getting drunk in the clubs.Ī bigger aspect of the game are the gang wars where you help some old friends Henrique and Armando to get rich from drug deals. Here the game turns into a sort of Dance Dance Revolution button pushing fiesta, but is relatively easy to complete.Īlso, it's the perfect way to meet up with ladies who you can call up later on for another round. While in the clubs Luis can also join in some dancing, which is pretty much the perfect place to pick up ladies. ![]() The job doesn't come without its perks either, though I'll let you play the game to find out about these, but you can rest assured your work in the clubs won't go unnoticed. The pumping music and the flashing lights, as well as the scantily-clad party-goers make it all worthwhile. It's great largely because of the awesome clubs that Rockstar have designed. In your role as Tony's right hand man and business partner, you will engage in a range of new tasks, many which seem to be inspired by previous GTA titles.Ĭlub management is definitely one of my favourites and it involves you keeping an eye on the clubs, kicking out any possible troublemakers. The Gay Tony storyline provides excellent value for money again and will take some time to complete, breathing a huge amount of new life into GTA IV. The way Rockstar have once again created wonderful characters and an amazing storyline makes the expansion utterly compelling, and possibly the best of all three story arcs in GTA IV, although none could exist without the others. In your business relationship with Tony Prince you will have to help him fight of a number of investors and gangsters who all want a slice of the pie. Tony Prince owns some of Liberty City's hottest clubs, which you will aid him in running as his business partner. Luis is the muscle in Tony's business, and pretty good at his work. You play as Luis Lopez who is a wide range of things to Tony Prince, Liberty City's top dog in the club scene. The beauty of this is that Rockstar have once again created an experience that is utterly engrossing, and entirely believable. The use of video filters in The Lost and the Damned gave players a look into the gritty, hard life of a biker, opposed to The Ballad of Gay Tony which takes us into Liberty City's nightlife, giving a taste of the bright lights and club scene.Īgain the use of filters and of visual effects emphasises the environment, and GTA IV is shown in a whole new light. Is it worth the asking price, and were Microsoft wise to invest in exclusive content? Let's check it out.Īs was the case with The Lost and Damned, Rockstar have made some big changes to GTA IV and have attempted to improve on many areas. To be honest, calling it episodic content almost plays down the fact that Gay Tony plays like a whole new game, similar to the way The Lost and Damned was. It's been a few months now since The Lost and Damned graced our consoles and got us all stuck back into GTA IV.įinally, after much anticipation, the second piece of episodic content has arrived in the form of The Ballad of Gay Tony.Ĭonveniently, both instalments have been bundled together and titled "Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City", which doesn't even require the original GTA IV game to work. A scene from Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City. ![]()
