The game is also the first game in the series to implement a scoring system for missions. As with The Lost and Damned, new radio and in-game television programming is included. As well as a new storyline, missions, and characters, it also features new game mechanics, vehicles, weapons, side missions, collectibles and achievements/trophies. The storyline intertwines with the original game and first episode, most notably the Museum Piece mission that involves all three protagonists.
The protagonist is Luis Fernando Lopez, a part-time hoodlum and full-time assistant to legendary nightclub impresario Tony Prince. The PlayStation 3 and PC versions were later released on Apin North America and on Apin Europe. It is the fourth expansion pack in the Grand Theft Auto series and the 13th release in the series. It was released on October 29, 2009. Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony (official abbreviation TBoGT) is the second episode of two downloadable add-ons for Grand Theft Auto IV.
