The game has a decent amount of missions and should take around 10 hours to finish. For each mission you complete in The Ballad of Gay Tony, you will be presented with a scoring board where your performance will be rated and sent to the Rockstar Social page. Upon completion of the game, Luis can replay all of the missions for a better ranking. Paired with great voice acting, the characters in this game makes the cut scenes and presentation more immersive, similarly to the first episode and the original GTA IV. Characters such as Yusuf, Tony, Armando and Mom give Luis the hell life he’s looking for.
One of the things that makes Grand Theft Auto series good are all the memorable characters you run into. Nothing much has changed, so you can expect the occasional glitch here and there. The graphics are similar to the Lost and the Damned and GTA IV. Since the Ballad of Gay Tony takes place in Liberty City, you will be exploring  this city for the third and final time with Luis. So, with The Ballad of Gay Tony finally released in the market, what are the HOTs and NOTs in this game? Let’s take a look: HOT Both episodes take place in Liberty City, and include cameos of Nico Bellic. If you have not had a chance to play the first episode of GTA IV, there will be a discounted standalone title that you can pick up that will include both Lost and The Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony. Similar to the Lost and the Damned, Ballad of Gay Tony will be available via the XBOX Live Marketplace. But his shady past as a drug dealer is sure to land him in trouble, the kind he can only count on himself to get out of. The game follows the story of Luis Lopez, a Hispanic guy who will do anything for the sake of his mother and to keep his close relationship intact with Tony Prince, the owner of some famous clubs in Liberty City, as his personal body guard. It doesn’t tie in with the story of Nico Bellic in the original GTA IV but instead it focuses on an all new character in Liberty City.
Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony is the second and possibly last episode in the Grand Theft Auto IV series that Rockstar released exclusively for the XBOX 360.
