    The Ballad of Lame Tony

    This 2nd DLC has more of the stuff I hate about GTA4.  'The Lost and Damned' was a big step in the right direction, but this takes 2 big steps back.  The game is trying even harder to be 'Days of Our Lives'.  The acting is even more wooden and hammy.  The characters, stories and dialogue  feel recycled.  The missions are the same tired old missions I've done in dozens of other games.  The inane mini-games.  The endless chatter in the car; too, from and during missions.   The moronic friends who need to you to babysit them.
     
    Rockstar's attempt to give TBoGT a cinematic feel, makes the game much worse.  The game feels dated.  The controls are a little clunky.  The interface with the cell phone was clever, but is just awkward.  The graphics are no longer cutting edge, which makes the 1000 shades of gray in the city look duller than last  nights washing water. 
     
    Rockstar seem to have run of ideas and left the monkeys in charge.  This feels more like a dirge, than a ballad.

      Brilliant GTA game, absolutely phenomenal DLC! 0

      The Ballad of Gay Tony gives you the final ending to a long line of Liberty City stories. Starting with the tale of a cynical and fearlessly loyal immigrant who sadly was groomed through life experiences to become a cold blooded gun for hire, to then playing as a misguided member of a biker gang who was always for rebeling against what he thought was wrong and not afraid to cause some damage in the process. Niko and Johnny got nothing on what weapons Luis gets to pack TBoGT now places you in the...
