NYT Video Game Review | Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony

NYT: Gay Tony is one of those great, rare games in which you can lose yourself for hours just exploring and discovering new things to do. Race some boats or cars. Shoot a game of pool. Watch some high-quality satirical television. Skydive off a tower in Midtown. Dance with the ladies at the club. Or just drive around listening to the radio.

I have no idea where the Grand Theft Auto series will go next, but here's my vote for London. The Rockstar team has done New York, Los Angeles (Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas) and Miami (Grand Theft Auto: Vice City). I hope they can now turn their deliciously insightful creative eye to their home turf.

I woupdn't update the game. It doesnt have game breaking issues and I would lose one of the radio stations.

"Thankfully, players will seemingly easily be able to update their game to the new version easily by simply installing "

What the fuck kind of sentence structure is that?!

GTA4 was the worst game in the entire series and the only one I've ever truly hated

SegaSaturn6691535d ago

I really liked the tv stations on gta 4. Other than that, I agree. Horrible racing missions.

CrimsonWing691535d ago

I guess they can’t afford editors.

They'll never get rid of how slow and sluggish these games feel. Your character and vehicles feel too heavy. Even on the most powerful rigs. I love how GTAV fixed it though.

Profchaos1535d ago (Edited 1535d ago )

Your character was a mid 30/40 year old personally I felt like he controlled the way most people in that age range move.
And it had better driving physics than v did cars have weight and it felt correct compared to v everything drives like a sports car and turns corners on a dime

DerfDerf1535d ago

The driving physics in GTA4 were far superior to 5. Everyone complains because of the physics engine used but it's one of the things I love about 4

One of the very rare cases where DLC was done right. This is what DLC should have been, a proper expansion pack, not what it has become today.

PowerOfTheCloud1644d ago

Right, the dlc's were better than the actual game imo

chrisx1645d ago

Ballad of gay Tony was great

"A recent update also added a fully functioning casino that requires players to use real money, in order to buy fake money, then gamble it!" This is not true, again this is a bullshit narrative being pushed, which is furthest from the truth.

PoSTedUP1723d ago

Ill always like 3 the best. Still play it till this day.

CertifiedGamer1722d ago

Grand Theft Auto 3 is the game that made it into a console selling game so that's why its my number #1
