After the last game of GTA series, this one came as a good and refreshing game.
First i have to praise Rockstar Games for making available two games for the price of one and with two great and very different storylines.
It seems the controls are more intuitive and refined.
Episodes from Liberty City is a stand-alone game containing new multiplayer modes and two new single-player campaigns: The Lost & Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony. Between the two, you get more than 50 new music tracks, new radio stations and DJs, TV shows, vehicles, weapons and online modes.
I must warn you thatLiberty City only looks spectacular with the graphics settings on "high" and if you don't have a high-end machine you will not enjoy the game true beauty, it's easily one of the most demanding game on PC, much more so than Crysis and other high-end games
The game looks amazing, the physics are indeed the best around and the detail in the world is almost unbelievable.
Both storylines are as well written and The Ballad of Gay Tony especially seperates itself with a San Andreas-style over-the-top story and missions.
Twenty four missions in L&D plus twenty six in the Ballad makes this game a bit short in relation with San Andreas but you can't have it all.
In my opinion this game revives the GTA series!
