You can go to the club get waisted and then wake up in an unfamiliar place. I&amp;#39;m sure everyone&amp;nbsp;eligable to play this game already has, if you haven&amp;#39;t then you want to. just about the only thing i don&amp;#39;t like is not being able to buy clothes for your character, also you cant go to the comedy&amp;nbsp;club&amp;nbsp;as you could with&amp;nbsp;Niko and i think that you should have the same places as GTA IV or more.

Especially when it adds as much to the series as The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony have. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="line-height:11.25pt;background:white;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="font-family:&amp;#39;Calibri&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;color:#333333;font-size:11pt;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count:1;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Although The Lost and Damned add-on provided a more tight-knit story and more realistic feel, it didn&amp;#39;t provide the over the top, unrelentless action as The Ballad of Gay Tony did. Also Rockstar is one of the few companies that put out games that i actually find genuinely funny. The scenes with Roman and Brucie, and the new characters of Mori and Yusif had me laughing out loud.&amp;nbsp;Some scenes&amp;nbsp;served to answer your questions of &amp;quot;what were these characters up to while i was running amuck as Niko?&amp;quot; and there were some to tie together loose plot holes, making the game experience feel complete.&amp;nbsp;I almost wished the game was a full title and not just add-on content, but having said that, for add-on content this game certainly delivers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="line-height:11.25pt;background:white;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="font-family:&amp;#39;Calibri&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;color:#333333;font-size:11pt;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-tab-count:1;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The game is just lengthy, difficult and entertaining enough to re-immerse you in the GTAIV world and wraps up the story nicely with a GTA-esque conclusion. Although, I must say, whether this is a good or bad thing, it leaves me wanting more!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: Favorite Ballad of Gay Tony Character?</title><link>http://www.gameinformer.com/games/grand_theft_auto_iv_the_ballad_of_gay_tony/f/1811/p/10924/86492.aspx#86492</link><pubDate>Thu, 19 Nov 2009 02:45:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:86492</guid><dc:creator>Colby</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Luis Lopez&lt;/p&gt; </description></item><item><title>Blog Post: balid of g@y tony</title><link>http://www.gameinformer.com/games/grand_theft_auto_iv_the_ballad_of_gay_tony/b/user_reviews/archive/2009/11/10/balid-of-g-y-tony.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 11 Nov 2009 01:02:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:74883</guid><dc:creator>brian </dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;the game is good but who wants to play a game where the hero is g@y&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Blog Post: Review</title><link>http://www.gameinformer.com/games/grand_theft_auto_iv_the_ballad_of_gay_tony/b/user_reviews/archive/2009/11/09/review.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:58:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:73639</guid><dc:creator>hmacpack17</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;this game was suprisingly really good, well to me at least.

This time around you play the bodyguard and  business partner of Gay Tony, a night club owner, drug addict, and you  guessed it, gay guy. The story is solid and your interface is adorned  with, shall we say, more &lt;i&gt;eccentric&lt;/i&gt; colors like pink and purple.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  You can finally welcome back sky diving and parachuting into Liberty  City. Spread throughout the downtown area are checkpoints that will  teleport you to the rooftops of nearby buildings. Base jumping gets  especially fun when you go online and start pushing matches at the top  of a skyscraper.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  The SWAT tank makes it&amp;#39;s way back as well. This nearly indestructible  beast comes with a mounted turret and explosive rounds. Later you will  gain access to the Buzzard, an attack helicopter with infinite rockets  and mini-gun ammo. Of course new weapons, bikes, and other assortments  of goodies have been added to the city as well.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;b&gt;The Bad&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  Some characters you will only meet once or twice in the story. Others  are extremely exaggerated, making immersion into the universe nearly  impossible.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  The difficulty &lt;i&gt;curve&lt;/i&gt; feels more like watching your stocks  bounce up and down. If you&amp;#39;re not gunning your way out of a gang  infested territory then you may find yourself helping Mom pay the  bills. There is almost no feel for progression.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  Apparently none of your gangster friends have their license yet, so you  will be spending most of your time driving them from one destination to  another. To make matters worse, checkpoints are few and far between. A  half-hour mission will have one, maybe two checkpoints, so dying  becomes very irritating very quickly.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  The original GTA IV and The Lost and Damned came with fun, innovative multiplayer modes like &lt;i&gt;Cops N&amp;#39; Crooks&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Witness Protection&lt;/i&gt;.  The Ballad of Gay Tony delivers none. There was potential for ranked  skydiving matches or triathlon races, but we are only given the basic  free roam, race, and deathmatch modes.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;b&gt;The Salty&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  The story fills most of the plot holes left by the first two episodes  and comes to a climactic ending worthy of the older Grand Theft Auto  games. After completing the campaign you can replay old missions, but  chances are you will spend the rest of your time either online or  roaming around Liberty City aimlessly. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  If you liked Grand Theft Auto IV or The Lost and Damned DLC, you will  definitely have fun with The Ballad of Gay Tony. If the game never got  your juices flowing in the first place, this download won&amp;#39;t give you a  reason to come back.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  The Ballad of Gay Tony gets 7 eccentric purple interfaces out of 10.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Blog Post: GTA rocks my world ha.</title><link>http://www.gameinformer.com/games/grand_theft_auto_iv_the_ballad_of_gay_tony/b/user_reviews/archive/2009/10/29/gta-rocks-my-world-ha.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 30 Oct 2009 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:57541</guid><dc:creator>Sky MacTavish</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;the advertising for this game was superb. i was so excited about it before i even bought it. and when i did purchase it turned out to be better then i expected. this games explosive missions and awesome story line make it an easy 10 and an easy must buy.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Blog Post: Great game</title><link>http://www.gameinformer.com/games/grand_theft_auto_iv_the_ballad_of_gay_tony/b/user_reviews/archive/2009/10/28/great-game.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 29 Oct 2009 04:54:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:56351</guid><dc:creator>Michael Randazzo</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I loved this game, i was so glad that this game started you off with everything, with flash, money and fast cars. i guess thats what attracted me in the first place to GTA, was the ability to become a powerful and wealthy crime lord.

It&amp;rsquo;s only fitting that Rockstar Games ends its latest  impressive run of open world masterpieces at the other end of the  spectrum. The Ballad of Gay Tony is Rockstar North&amp;rsquo;s song of excess,  showcasing Liberty City&amp;rsquo;s drug-addled trust fund elite, promiscuous  socialites, nitro-fueled luxury sportscars, and military-grade weaponry. [Excerpt]&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;New  protagonist Luis Lopez may roll with the elite, but he certainly isn&amp;rsquo;t  one of them; the Dominican ex-convict grew up pulling off petty crimes  in the rough neighborhood of Northwood until legendary nightclub owner  Tony Prince took him under his wing. Lopez quickly finds out that a  two-bit corner boy and a personal assistant to the rich and famous  aren&amp;rsquo;t so different. As Gay Tony&amp;rsquo;s once-powerful nightclub empire  spirals out of control due to his excessive drug use and outstanding  debt to shady loansharks, it&amp;rsquo;s up to Lopez to do the dirty work and  keep the clubs afloat.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Rolling with the rich has its benefits  when it comes to crime. Forget the slow progression to explosive  weapons most Grand Theft Auto games follow, Lopez has almost immediate  access to the finest arms dealers have to offer &amp;ndash; attack choppers,  APCs, explosive shotguns, sticky bombs, and my favorite, the P90  assault rifle. The creative new missions Rockstar North crafted put  these destructive new toys to good use; one minute you&amp;rsquo;re sinking a  luxury yacht with the missile-launching attack chopper, and the next  you&amp;rsquo;re parachuting from 10,000 feet to infiltrate the high-rise offices  of the crooked Russian owner of the Liberty City Rampage hockey team.  The outlandish nature of most of your missions almost always attracts  the attention of the cops, guaranteeing more thrills than your typical  GTA fare.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Throughout the story, Luis is torn between his  allegiance to the lavish new lifestyle Tony provides him and the family  and friends he&amp;rsquo;s left behind in Northwood. Players won&amp;rsquo;t feel as bad  leaving his disgruntled mother and hoodrat friends in their wake. The  drug war shootouts Lopez gets into with his childhood friends may be  made from traditional GTA bread and butter, but I found myself ignoring  them in favor of the more explosive missions from Gay Tony or spoiled  Arab playboy Yusuf Amir.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Luis may feel conflicted hanging in the  old neighborhood, but he&amp;rsquo;s clearly in his element when the drinks are  flowing and the dance floor is bumping at the nightclubs. In the clubs,  players can remove troublemakers, do shots with bartenders, shower  friends with champagne in the VIP room, and dance with the ladies on  the dancefloor. Show her all the right moves and she&amp;rsquo;ll likely show you  hers in the bathroom stall. Make sure you work at least one management  shift at the nightclub as well; your office employee in the short skirt  will make it worth your time.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;When Luis isn&amp;rsquo;t taking orders and  doing favors for his out of control friends, players can indulge in the  fantastic base jumping and cagefighting side missions or go on a  rampage with the attack chopper or APC. The multiplayer also gets new  content to amp up the action; the frantic GTA races now feature nitro  boosts, and the new deathmatch maps focus on close quarters combat.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;While  I preferred the tight-knit story of brotherhood and betrayal in The  Lost and Damned, The Ballad of Gay Tony delivers more explosive  weapons, death-defying missions, and off-the-wall characters. Don&amp;rsquo;t  miss your chance to close out the GTA IV experience in style.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>File: Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony</title><link>http://www.gameinformer.com/games/grand_theft_auto_iv_the_ballad_of_gay_tony/m/grand_theft_auto_iv_the_ballad_of_gay_tony_media/55179.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:42:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:55179</guid><dc:creator>Matt Bertz</dc:creator><description /></item><item><title>File: Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony</title><link>http://www.gameinformer.com/games/grand_theft_auto_iv_the_ballad_of_gay_tony/m/grand_theft_auto_iv_the_ballad_of_gay_tony_media/55178.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:42:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:55178</guid><dc:creator>Matt Bertz</dc:creator><description /></item><item><title>File: Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony</title><link>http://www.gameinformer.com/games/grand_theft_auto_iv_the_ballad_of_gay_tony/m/grand_theft_auto_iv_the_ballad_of_gay_tony_media/55177.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:42:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:55177</guid><dc:creator>Matt Bertz</dc:creator><description /></item><item><title>File: Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony</title><link>http://www.gameinformer.com/games/grand_theft_auto_iv_the_ballad_of_gay_tony/m/grand_theft_auto_iv_the_ballad_of_gay_tony_media/55176.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:42:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:55176</guid><dc:creator>Matt Bertz</dc:creator><description /></item><item><title>File: Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony</title><link>http://www.gameinformer.com/games/grand_theft_auto_iv_the_ballad_of_gay_tony/m/grand_theft_auto_iv_the_ballad_of_gay_tony_media/55175.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:42:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:55175</guid><dc:creator>Matt Bertz</dc:creator><description /></item><item><title>File: Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony</title><link>http://www.gameinformer.com/games/grand_theft_auto_iv_the_ballad_of_gay_tony/m/grand_theft_auto_iv_the_ballad_of_gay_tony_media/55174.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:42:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:55174</guid><dc:creator>Matt Bertz</dc:creator><description /></item></channel></rss>
