GTA Episodes of Liberty City

I will start with The Lost & Damned first. This mega expansion would have gotten 10/10 if The Lost & Damned did not have a few flaws that it does. The music is definitely for metal heads. Hard rock metal in the bikers gang house that drove me nutty, if you like that, put in an extra point for yourself.

Unlike R*'s future work on Red Dead Redemption, the motorcycles are difficult to keep in formation, and you'll miss out on the bikers' conversations. That aside, the missions are good enough and fill in a ton of back story for the main game. It is obvious they didn't throw these stories together for some extra cash; these games are brilliantly written and tie the whole story together. This was well planned.

If The Lost & Damned is a biker gang version of San Andreas, The Ballad of Gay Tony is the fun stuff. They heard the fans' pleas and brought back some of the madness. Jumping from helicopters, dancing, shooting 50 new pigeons, parachuting, and stealing tanks for Yussef Amir, one of the funniest and best characters of the series. This brings the insanity back, and it's great!

Also the radio stations are revitalised and a new station hits the air that will bring back fond memories of the 80's and Miami Vice City Radio with a surprise host that I will not spoil for you.

Tell you more would be a spoiler, but you should know that if you buy the disc version, you DO NOT need the original GTAIV to play.

Pick this up, you will not regret it!

9.5/10
