Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City Review

Posted by admin On April - 14 - 2010

The fact that the console-exclusivity deal for these episodes has finally run out doesn’t diminish the fact that these are two quality games bundled together for forty bucks (or less depending on where you’re looking). This collection (in my opinion) is far superior to that of the original release of Grand Theft Auto 4 itself — more radio stations, better vehicle controls, and a much better checkpoint system during missions help round out the list of improvements. And while there is absolutely nothing different content-wise from the Xbox 360 version (that’s the official word from Rockstar), Episodes from Liberty City is a must-have for every Grand Theft Auto fan who never had a chance to play the better-half of this nearly two year old game.

First off, The Lost and Damned delivers more of everything that defines the venerable Grand Theft Auto series: car chases, firefights, kidnappings, colorful characters, and controversies. It’s still the same Liberty City, but the character development of the new protagonist, Johnny Klebitz, and Billy Grey, president of the eponymous biker gang The Lost (and one of the better characters to appear in the series), helps this expansion feel worth it. Together, they tell an engaging story about brotherbonnet, responsibility, honour, sacrifice, and knowing when to walk away from a fight.
