| '''Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony''' (official abbreviation '''TBoGT''') is the second [[GTA IV Episodes|episode]] of downloadable content for [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] for the [[Xbox 360]]. It was released on October 29, 2009. Note that the game logo, unlike that of [[The Lost and Damned]], omits the "IV" from "Grand Theft Auto IV".
| |
|
| |
| The [[protagonist]] is [[Luis Fernando Lopez]], a part-time hoodlum and full-time assistant to legendary nightclub impresario [[Anthony Prince|Anthony "Gay Tony" Prince]]. The storyline will interweave with the original game and first episode, most notably the [[Museum Piece]] mission which involves all 3 protagonists. As well as a new storyline, missions and characters, it also features new game mechanics, [[Vehicles in The Ballad of Gay Tony|vehicles]], [[Weapons in The Ballad of Gay Tony|weapons]], [[Side Missions|side missions]], [[collectibles]] and [[Achievements in The Ballad of Gay Tony|achievements]]. As with TLAD, new [[Radio Stations in GTA IV|radio]] and [[TV Shows in GTA IV|in-game television]] programming is included.

| [[Rockstar Games|Rockstar]] says 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." According to Rockstar's official website, "The Ballad of Gay Tony injects Liberty City with an overdose of guns, glitz, and grime." Sam Houser, the founder of [[Rockstar Games]], said before its release "This episode's focus on high-end night life contrasts with the biker gangs portrayed in The Lost and Damned, whilst giving us a lot of new gameplay possibilities."
| |
|
| |
| The Ballad of Gay Tony was released on October 29 2009 on the XBOX LIVE Marketplace for 1600 Microsoft points.
| |
|
| |
| It is also included on the [[Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City]], which retails for £34.99 in the UK, $56 in Australia, $49.99 in Canada and $39.99 in the US.
