5 stars "The Down Low On Episodes From Liberty City ~ PS3"

GTA episodes of Liberty City are side stories to the original GTA4 where you play as Niko Bellic a Slavic hired gun with a horrible past. In one of the episodes there is the Lost and The Damned story in which you use vice-president of the lost biker gang, Johnny Klebitz. His story goes deep into the biker gang warfare and corrupt police. Overall its great story. The next story on the disc is one where you get your boogie on, Liberty City Ballad of Gay Tony. You use Luis Lopez a club manager. His boss and partner, Gay Tony, always seems to attract trouble and its up to Luis to get them out by doing jobs for the local mafia and many other things. In conclusion this is a must buy for you GTA fans. ^_^

5 stars "Bloody brilliant"

This game is everything you ever wanted in a role player game. Basically you control your own destiny which is one key positive of GTA IV. Although there is a storyline you will eventually follow, you are given the chance to go around and do things for different people, fly around the city or play pool, amongst other things.

GTA IV is sure to keep you hooked and wanting more.

5 stars "Game of the Year contender"

If you think GTA IV was superb then you are in for a ride. Not only does this expansion pack surpass its predecessor in every area with new weapons such as a sawed-off shotgun with enough power to set a car on fire , new vehicles like a small attack helicopter that can shoot missiles as well as an armored police tank that screams out ‘chaos’ on the streets and missions that will keep you on the edge of your seat but there's also the extremely reasonable price to consider this a wise purchase.

4 stars "Fun from start to end"

Amazing graphics, accompanied by amazing gameplay. Episodes of liberty city far surpasses that of GTA4, and any other game in the same genre on any console available.

5 stars "Parachutes!"

It's been a long time coming, but the extra DLC for Grand Theft Auto IV is finally on the PS3. Conveniently packaged for your playing pleasure on a single disc, Episodes From Liberty City combines both ‘The Lost and the Damned’ and ‘The Ballad of Gay Tony’.

Several years on from the release of the original GTA IV, is this really worth your while? If you're still a fan of the series, then the answer is still an emphatic “yes”.

Personally, I enjoyed the the Ballad of Gay Tony MUCH more as it leaned towards the side of fun as opposed to the original GTA IV trying to be realistic.

I just have one thing to say: Parachutes are a staple in any GTA game

3 stars "Good game (not the best but good)"

This game is good in terms of fun and the usual GTA theme but when you play it you will see the reason why it was cut out of the original game in the first place. I'd not rate it over $50 worth

5 stars "Excellent addition "

an excellent addition and great plan from the developer's to create 3 different but interlinked stories in the 1 city

 
 
Review by Ryan on 17th May, 2010
3 stars "Not as good as I remember…"

I was a huge fan of GTA: 4, so was very excited to finally get to play these Episodes on the PS3.
However, I was surprised to find that the mechanics of the game itself just isn't as good as I remember it. After playing games that have been released since GTA 4, like God of War 3 & Uncharted 2, the controls, shooting, and fight mechanics seem really sub-par.
Still a lot of fun, but just not as good as I was hoping.

5 stars "Awesome"

Rockstar has finally released this for PS3 and is everything and more than I had hoped for. Im really pleased both the episodes are on 1 single disk and they are both just as good as each other although the ballad of gay tony does have more to offer in terms of free play experience! cheers MightyApe

"A success of the greatest magnitude!"

GTA: Episodes had a lot to achieve, following in it's big brother's foot­steps. Yet somehow, Rockstar has improved the formula! Packing new weapons, thrilling plots and a host of great features, Episodes takes you on a thrill-ride like never before! Get this game now, or miss out on the best open-world game sequel of this decade!

3 stars "Pretty good for a cheap price"

I actually liked the Lost and Damned part of this game better than GTA4 as I like the whole biker theme. Ballad of Gay Tony was average for me. I just couldn't get into that game. This game is good for it's low price.
