GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony was part of the Episodes from Liberty City DLC for GTA IV and is one of the most beloved entries in the franchise. The game follows the story of legendary nightclub owner Anthony "Gay Tony" Prince and his trusty bodyguard and protagonist, Luis Lopez.

GTA IV was one of the most divisive entries in the series due to its departure from the light-hearted tone of the previous games. In a bid to let players have a more light-hearted experience, The Ballad of Gay Tony was released as a DLC.

The game was decidedly more humorous and did not take itself too seriously. However, that does not mean that the game is disposable, as it is honestly one of the most underrated titles in the series.

Despite some players complaining about too many helicopter missions, GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony is still a great experience from start to end.
