An 86 average from its 275 true believers. An adventure game leaning hard into comedy, sandbox — more about the journey than the destination. A full single-player game with a multiplayer side that refuses to die.

About this game

Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony is the second of the two episodic expansion packs available for Grand Theft Auto IV. The Ballad of Gay Tony follows the exploits of protagonist Luis Fernando Lopez, an ex-member of the Dominican drug dealers and the personal bodyguard (referred to by himself as "business associate") of Anthony "Gay Tony" Prince. Prince is the owner of the two largest nightclubs in Liberty City and is a high-status socialite. Rockstar Games said in their press release that this episode "injects Liberty City with an overdose of guns, glitz, and crime" and that "players will struggle with the competing loyalties of family and friends, and with the uncertainty about who is real and who is fake in a world in which everyone has a price."
