The highlight for many is going to be the addition of base jumping challenges. This means some new interiors, including a trio of nightclubs, where Luis can practice his club management with tasks including getting the party started on the dance floor, a champagne drinking minigame and dealing with the unruly clientele. They live well and do not go gentle into that good night. Everyone you meet is a whole lot richer than what you've seen in GTA IV (and quite a bit crazier). The Ballad of Gay Tony takes you into the more respectable realm of the criminal underworld. It's an awesome sequence that ends, naturally, with a transport chopper swooping in and lifting the target train car off the tracks. Fortunately, well-placed shots with the AA-12 can take these guys down quickly. It won't be so easy as choppers come after you. Leap down and you'll hit near the back of the train.
Standing on an overpass, you'll need to wait for the train's horn to signal its passing below. Easy enough when given an AA-12 shotgun packed with explosive rounds. If that name sounds familiar, he's the crazy land developer Niko and Playboy talk about in GTA IV. "For the Man Who Has Everything" has Luis working for Yusuf Amir. One of my favorite missions is the one I mentioned at the start. It's not nearly as intense as the amazing bank robbery from GTA IV, but it's a pretty crazy scene as cops come swarming. The three of you hide, wait for the crooked cops to get near the car, then blow it all to hell. Setting an ambush, you plant charges on Bulgarin's car and anywhere else you like in the parking garage. In one mission, Luis has received a tip that some corrupt cops are going to plant evidence to incriminate him, Bulgarin and another stand-up crook, Timur. This allows for some excellent ambush opportunities. Put these wherever you like and detonate remotely. Another new toy for Luis are planted charges.
But why take the stairs when you can take the window? Leap out, pull your chute and guide Luis onto the back of his moving getaway truck. After capping the owner, it's time to make your escape. Of course, you only need to fire a single round per second if you pull of some headshots. It fires 900 rounds per minute (I counted). The P90, one of the new guns, is a beast of an automatic weapon. From there it's standard GTA IV stuff – cover shooting, explosive barrels, lots of people dying. Dive out, pull your chute and parachute onto the roof. Things begin with a freefall from a helicopter. So it's Luis' job to stop this guy from breathing. But the owner is keeping the deal from happening. Bulgarin is a nutjob, of course, and wants to get his hands on The Liberty City Rampage – a hockey team. In one mission, Luis is doing a solid for Bulgarin, the top Russian gangster in the city. You'll see a lot of the same characters and get to know some of the bigger crimelords a guy like Niko would never meet. As with The Lost and Damned, the events of Gay Tony take place around the same time as those of the main story from GTA IV. Luis Lopez is living more of a Goodfellas life. I'd compare Niko's tale to that of immigrant Vito Corleone in The Godfather II. He lives the good life and deals with the upper echelon of Liberty City criminals.
YES NO GTA IV let you experience the story of an immigrant in Liberty City, rising from rags to Gap khakis. But Tony's gotten himself into a bit of trouble and as is a common theme in Liberty City, he's a powerful man taking a tumble. Gay Tony owns the hottest straight nightclub and the hottest gay club in the city. In Gay Tony, you play as Luis Lopez, bodyguard and business associate of the title character. The missions of Gay Tony ratchets up the ridiculousness. For those who missed the outlandishness of GTA: San Andreas, rejoice. Yeah, The Ballad of Gay Tony is a little over-the-top. That was shortly after leaping from an overpass onto the moving train, crawling along the top and blowing a dozen pursuing attack choppers to bits. Ten minutes into my first experience with The Ballad of Gay Tony, I hijacked a train by carrying it to an empty ballfield via helicopter. The disc includes both The Lost & Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, two solid additions to GTA IV. The content isn't changing, meaning that we can fill you in on what to expect from Episodes of Liberty City.
