    Episodes from Liberty City is more like a big expansion pack than "DLC." You get two completely new campaigns for an absurdly low price. Lots of new weapons, new vehicles, new helicopters, new cutscenes, new characters, and more explosive (and I mean EXPLOSIVE... heheh) GTA action - all crammed into one purchase, for a low price.

    Don't expect new graphics though. It's the same game-world and city as GTAIV, it's just with significantly more new content to enjoy. If you haven't purchased it yet, I would definitely recommend it. It's a great value, and it'll be more than enough to keep you entertained until GTA V comes out!    … Expand

    This is the best DLC/expansion I have ever played. It wasn't very long, I finished it both TLaD and TBoGT in three hours. It tied in nicely with the storyline of GTA IV. I would only recommend you play after you have played GTA IV. If you don't then it won't make any sense and you won't know what is going on.

    This double-pack right here is proof of the greatness of Rockstar Games! DLC? These are complete games in their own rights, as short as they are. From dedicated stories to new weapons, interiors, cars and characters, nothing is left out. And each episode delivers, from the gritty feel of TLAD to the vibe of TBOGT, there's nothing to be missed!

    I think it's a great game, it is literally perfect. I hope Rockstar keeps bringing out GTA's on PC. There were some performance issues with the PC port but the EFLC had most of the issues fixed optimised. Definitely worth a purchase.

    I don't suppose that it matters anymore, but I'll toss in an opinion here. GTAIV was the game that got me into the console vidgame hobby. The sheer depth of the characters and their stories impressed me greatly and convinced me of the merit of the video game as a narrative medium.

GTAIV was the game that got me into the console vidgame hobby. The sheer depth of the characters and their stories impressed me greatly and convinced me of the merit of the video game as a narrative medium. It took me literally months to fully explore Liberty City and satisfactorily mine most of the humor and pathos to be found. As a British satire of American urban life, GTAIV was nothing short of genius. So when presented with yet another chance to experience Liberty city, I RAN to the store. EfLC certainly did not disappoint. Yes, it amounted to a couple of big expansion packs, but so what? I got all the humor, all the depth, and all the fun all over again. When I booted up TBGT and realized where Luis was and what was about to happen, and that I was going to get to watch it from someone else' perspective, I smiled to myself because I knew that I was in for a great ride. The mechanics were identical to GTAIV. Good, because they are complex and I was already familiar with them, so the game didn't try to force me to learn new ones in the name of novelty. Like GTAIV, TBGT and TLATD were story driven action titles. Great. Unlike GTAIV, I got a chance to understand more fully the forces that were acting on Nico by following two parallel characters. All three had a profound effect on one another, yet each was barely aware of the existence of the other two. When combined, these games represent the ultimate existential adventure. I have never been able to find a single meaningful criticism of these games.… Expand

    The characters are great, EFLC has new features like parachuting, motorcycle racing, gang wars and new weapons, vehicles and places to visit like nightclubs. The game is a great complement to the GTA IV story. Though it runs on Game for Windows Live which is very annoying and quite difficult to setup. The game couldn't run on Windows 8.1 unless you tweak it, but it could run normally on Windows 7.

    Spectacular DLC for a spectacular game.! Thats all i can say. Whenever i play with this DLC. I feel like i am going through an epic adventure of doing crime in reality. Graphics makes the game more amazing. The storyline, gameplay and etc. gives it a total domination of the game. I hope i could see a much better DLC for Grand Theft Auto V which releases this fall.

    TBoGT was awesome, and also felt a little more well optimized than the base game, didn't like the biker dlc tho', forcing you to stick with bikes all the way...

    Puede que por culpa de "The Lost and Damned" o porque no era el momento de jugarlo, pero no acabó de convencerme. Puede que algún día le de una oportunidad de nuevo, sobre todo a "The Ballad of Gay Tony"

    GTA EFLC feels exactly like GTA IV but with new weapons, characters and missions. I like that you can sky dive now, this game feels like an upgraded version of GTA IV.

    An outstanding expansion. It fits perfectly to the main game (GTAIV) both story and timeline. I really enjoy to do the fun activities like bowling, dart, pool and now air hockey and golf in this expansion. There is a lot to spend your time with when you like to take a break from the main part of the game.

    Very good addon to original GTA IV. T think that the story and the missions are even better than in the core game.

    Два отличных дополнения к GTA IV, как сюжетно, так и геймплейно. Правда, второе дополнение все же лучше, обширнее, в нем гораздо больше дел, которыми можно заняться, чем в первом, и оно гораздо интереснее и ярче.
