If Rockstar was going to do this it would have been nice to see even a slight improvement of the responsiveness of the choppers. If you can't handle the IV helicopter well, then get practicing because almost 50% of TBOGT relies on that very vehicle type which can lead to some incredibly frustrating mission failures. One thing we have to criticise TBOGT for is the over-reliance it has on helicopters for some of the missions. The missions that you take on for that crazy cat range from downright hillarious through to the almost truly insane. The characters are also larger than life with the unbeliveable performance of Yusif Amir, possibly the funniest character to enter the GTA world yet. The missions in Gay Tony are a lot more interesting than The Lost and the Damned and it's possibly because they are some of the most over the top missions in the IV world yet. Luis steps in to perform a number of underhanded tasks to get he and his boss back in the nightclub world. Although, due to a number of business deals gone wrong (and to go into details would lead to a massive spoiler), Tony, or Gay Tony as he is known is under the pump and needs money. Luis is a stereotypical latino from the bronx who through crime and power rose to the top and is now a manager of the two hottest night clubs in Liberty City. The other episode, which in our opinion benefited from the time and feedback left after TLAD is about a washed up Nightclub Mogul and his business partner Luis Lopez who you play. It is possible that Rockstar wanted to show how flexible the IV world is by taking the complete opposite tact with Johnny as opposed to Niko, but it does seem to lower the IQ of the IV games significantly when you play TLAD. However, overall you're a mean character intent on kicking as many peoples arses as possible. As missions go on you start to encounter missions which occured in IV such as the LCPD drug bust in the old decrepit house and gain a new perspective on those missions. When this occurs, the Lost logo shows on the ground and you have to keep within that to gain points and ride with your crew. Also, at times you need to ride as a crew. As you might expect, there is a heavy emphasis on riding a motorbike and in fact Johnny just seems completely out of place when driving a car. There is also a few additions to the IV world with TLAD. It was back to the old times ala Claude from GTA3 guns, women, sex and drugs. It's an interesting change from the self-depracating Niko who Rockstar tried to give an emotion of 'why am I doing this' and 'I am only doing this because i have to' etc. He goes around taking thugs out and commiting crime without batting an eyelid.

Taking control of Johnny, who Niko partnered with in the first game, you are in charge of raising your gang back to the top of the ranks and from the laughing stock it has become. The first episode, the Lost and the Damned focuses on the Biker world of Liberty City. Quite an achievement considering the length of time between releases. At the end of playing TBOGT (which is the second episode and should be played last to get the most benefit, though Rockstar does not stop you skipping straight to it), the entire IV story wraps up and not once does it feel rushed or slapped into place. There are many 'ohhh yeah' moments as you play through the games and it also gives a heck of a lot of back story as to what was going on in Nikos world. There are times where the three stories intersect and it is here where EOLC really comes into its own. There is no doubt from the storyline of both episodes that this was planned from the beginning and Luis Lopez and Johnny were both built into the universe from the start. However, it is clear that Rockstar has listened since the first DLC, because the second, TBOGT, is by far the best.īoth TLAD and TBOGT take place in Liberty City during the same time that Niko did his dirty work building up the empire that he and Roman now share. Whether Episodes of Liberty City is worth the purchase depends on a few things which are explored in this review. As promised, we have now seen the second DLC, The Ballad of Gay Tony, but in a surprise Rockstar has released these two titles as a singular package which is sold at retail and not only that, does not require the original game. And considering that platform was not Playstation, the platform many people see as the one which built the GTA franchise, it was hard for some people to swallow.Įarlier this year we saw the release of The Lost and the Damned on Xbox Live a biker story taking place during the same time as the main Niko story from the original game. The most anticipated game in many years was going platform exclusive, to a degree. When Microsoft and Rockstar announced a joint partnership to have exclusive DLC content, the internet basically exploded.
