![]() Many of the missions take place in Algonquin, Liberty City's version of Manhattan. Luis is uninteresting, overshadowed by the big personalities that surround him. 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. Gay Tony is more about the side characters - who are wonderfully outrageous - than it is about Luis. 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. 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. You live well and you work for the richest men in the city. The Ballad of Gay Tony isn't about living in squalor. ![]() Tony Prince, owner of the biggest straight and gay nightclubs in Liberty City, took Luis under his wing and made him something. 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. In The Ballad of Gay Tony, you take on the role of Luis Lopez who works for the title character. The $40 disc contains both GTA IV episodes, but not the main game itself. 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. 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. The GTA IV saga closes out with The Ballad of Gay Tony, an over-the-top, explosive $20 downloadable episode.
