THE BALLAD OF GAY TONY
PRESENTATION
Rockstar has brought us another DLC for their best selling game, GTA IV. It brings almost everything that the original and TLaD didn't have and puts in a lot more fun. You are Luis Lopez, a guy whose life is based on being the personal security guard of an 80s-90s nightlife and culture icon, Tony 'Gay' Prince. The game indeed is the only game with the word 'gay' in it, and it has been banned in several countries because of it. Luis, however, isn't in need of cash, his job is to protect Tony as he drags them into chaos, explosions, craziness, booze etc. I had a lot of fun completing the missions, a lot of them feautured much more action than the original, more weapons, cars, while the graphics stay the same. Most of the mission cutscenes feauture something funny, but mostly childish funny. You can get drunk anytime, you can dance, have a champagne drink-off, kick guys out of clubs, destroy trains and planes (in one mission). One of my favourite story characters is Yusuf Amir. He may seem like a bad dude, but he's cool, and he loves his origin country too. You can still run into choic-made missions where you choose if you want to kill the guy or spare him, but that isn't that often as in the original.
GRAPHICS
Same as GTA IV.
MULTIPLAYER
TBoGT has a slightly better multiplayer than GTA IV, and that is only because of parachutes, APCs and Buzzards. On the weaker side, many of the old game modes have been suspended, like NOOSE, Cops and Robbers etc. There were also triathlons, but they were removed. If you play on the PC, you can use a trainer that will boost your fun.
THE VERDICT
TBoGT is something that GTA IV should have been like. It has few improvements, like added objects and map textures, vehicles and weapons. I give Luis Lopez and his adventure a 9.5.
THE LOST AND DAMNED
PRESENTATION
GTA TLaD is the first DLC Rockstar released for GTA IV. It seems as they just wanted a brand new campaign, whilst everything else stays the same. You are Johnny Klebitz, a gang member of an Alderney chopper gang called 'The Lost MC'. The gang needs cash, and since its founder, Billy Grey, is back, they can go and hunt down the two million dollar diamonds. Almost immediately you are encountered with enemies, and your ammo magazines start to get empty. Brand new vehicles like the burrito, brand new choppers (bikes) are added, while new weapons such as the double barrelled shotgun and the automatic shotgun. I enjoyed the campaign quite a bit, but not all missions were as good as in the original.
GRAPHICS
Same as in GTA IV, with added screen effects that make the entire screen look like a TV reception that is missing a cable, which is a nice touch.
MULTIPLAYER
Multiplayer is the same as in GTA IV, which is cool, for people that actually liked the old multiplayer, but having nothing added in it just makes us go back to the good old original.
THE VERDICT
GTA TLaD is a copy when it comes to multiplayer and a solid storyline driven campaign, well, when it comes to the campaign of course. I give this DLC an 8.5.
GTA EFLC - THE VERDICT
The entire project is a blast. Two games for a price of one? Very cool! More added content, and you will probably try to go through both games' campaigns a few times and you will probably waste 30-40 hours on their gorgeous multiplayers. I give this Rockstar-Humble-Bundle a 9.2/10. For more game reviews, check out my blog. Laters.
