DLC #45 - Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories : The Ballad of Gay Tony

Take on the role of Luis Lopez,
and do the dirty for Tony Prince

The Ballad of Gay Tony does everything The Lost and Damned did tenfold. More trophies, greater time commitment and much more difficult to achieve 100%.                                                                                  
Going through the smaller scale stuff provides some interesting (and some not so interesting) tasks, such as free-falling for the maximum amount of time possible and perfectly pulling off a series of quick time event dancing mini-games in both nightclubs. There's also a few standard progression related trophies for completing the main story within.                                                                                                  
The less interesting stuff in the content requires you to perform 25 gang wars, which are OK for the first few times, but very quickly recycle and cause the inevitable feeling of dragging on.                                                         
There's also 15 base jumps to complete, which are slightly less boring, but only because there are less of them to do. It's still has a very "chucked in" feel to it for the sake of longevity.                                                                                                                                             
Aside completing the 26 main story missions once, which is a good 8-10 hours in it's own respect, there is a challenge to be had here in the form of 1 trophy;
                      

TBoG : Gold Star
Score 100% in all Missions : The Ballad of Gay Tony


                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
Each mission comes with a set of it's own criteria, which must all be fulfilled to attain 100% in that particular mission. This will require multiple playthroughs, given how difficult it can be to achieve all the criteria in 1 go for the majority of them.                                                      
For some missions, it simply isn't possible, and they're required to be broken down as you go through the mission 3/4 times in order to make sure you tick off each criteria systematically.
                      
Some people will definitely find it a slog, and probably more hassle than it's actually worth, especially when you consider the fact it is merely a bronze trophy. Some of the missions have some testing requirements, and you'll have to face up to the fact these certain missions will need a bit of perseverance and metal in order to finish them to 100%.                                                            
I personally found it quite enjoyable, which is somewhat surprising given the amount of repetition, but the constant drive to better my last effort meant I always saw reasons to go back and retry a mission. None of them we're insanely difficult by any means, it was mainly the completion times criteria that served up the problems for the harder missions, but when you didn't have to worry about meeting any other criteria you had already achieved, speed runs become somewhat easier.
                  
Overall, it's roughly a 25-30 hour experience, though that will vary depending on the extent to which you need to replay missions. The challenge is stern though, so it's safe to suggest most people will push to the higher end of that boundary. Great piece of DLC though, I can't recommend GTA highly enough.
