GTAIV Ballad of Gay Tony New Xbox Game Arrived I Posted: 05 Jan 2010 10:01 PM PST The GTA IV saga closes out with The Ballad of Gay Tony, an over-the-top, explosive $20 downloadable episode. Like the first episode, The Lost and Damned, you’ll need a copy of GTA IV to play the downloadable version of The Ballad of Gay Tony. For those without Xbox Live (for shame!) or who no longer own GTA IV, you can purchase GTA: Episodes from Liberty City from your local games store. The $40 disc contains both GTA IV episodes, but not the main game itself. In The Ballad of Gay Tony, you take on the role of Luis Lopez who works for the title character. Where GTA IV star Niko Belic and Lost and Damned anti-hero Johnny Klebitz are men of little means attempting to rise up in the world, Luis has already made his transition from rags to riches. Tony Prince, owner of the biggest straight and gay nightclubs in Liberty City, took Luis under his wing and made him something. The Ballad of Gay Tony isn’t about living in squalor. You live well and you work for the richest men in the city. You might be wondering why this episode isn’t called “The Ballad of Straight Luis.” There are two reasons for this: a) Rockstar’s smart enough not to give a downloadable episode a terrible name and b) This is Tony’s story viewed from Luis’ perspective. Luis’ rise to the top happens before the beginning of Gay Tony and just about every action he takes in the game is tied to Tony’s story, not his own. Gay Tony is more about the side characters — who are wonderfully outrageous — than it is about Luis. This makes for some entertaining cutscenes, but the story itself (which follows the trail of the stolen diamonds from GTA IV to its conclusion) isn’t very compelling. Luis is uninteresting, overshadowed by the big personalities that surround him.
