GTA 4 – Episodes from Liberty City Review: PS3

There are two story lines you can follow in this version of the classic Grand Theft Auto. In GTA4: Episodes from Liberty City for the Playstation 3, you will have access to new vehicles, new weapons, and new areas to explore. New bad guys? You bet. There’s also a checkpoint save feature now! (Nice!) This might make the game a little more playable for non-hardcore GTA fanatics. And for the GTA fans, there are plenty of references to characters in the game. Read more at the Gamespot Review or keep reading below.

You may have played GTA4 on the X-box – it was only available there for a while – but with Episodes from Liberty City expansion, you can now get your mayhem going on the PS3. The gameplay is pretty much the same as old versions, but there are new characters, weapons and vehicles.

Some recommend that you start with the The Lost and Damned adventure and then move to the Ballad of Gay Tony. Both happen at the same time during the game, but that was the original order on the X-Box 360.

As mentioned, the new checkpoint system really makes this game a little more fun for people who don’t have three days solid to devote to mastering the game. And if you don’t like it, you don’t have to use it.

Many people have said that the two storylines happening at the same time is really cool because you get to see events in the game from two different perspectives. This is what makes the game fun – well that and the stealing cars and other “stuff” you have to do to win in GTA4 Episodes from Liberty City.
