GTA 4 The Ballad of Gay Tony Review

The Ballad of Gay Tony is the perfect way to close out the GTA IV saga. Finally, we know what happened to the diamonds stolen in the main story a year-and-a-half ago. Though Luis Lopez doesn't have much of a story at all (this is the ballad of his boss, after all), the supporting cast is phenomenal. There are a lot of hilarious moments and ludicrous missions that will please GTA fans. Sure, a few of the missions fall flat compared to the wild nature of others, but all-in-all this is a fine package and worth 20 bucks.
Presentation

The story is decent, but it's really the side characters and their oddities that shine. The rainbow menu is a nice touch.
Graphics

The city is still full of life, but it would have been nice to see some new graphical wrinkles.
Sound

The voice acting is top notch and the new songs perfectly round out the massive catalogue of music in GTA IV.
Gameplay

More over-the-top than Lost and Damned, but there are a few dud missions that bring things down.
Lasting Appeal

The main story takes about 10 hours to complete and there's plenty more to enjoy afterwards.
OVERALL

Worth your 20 bucks.
