Unlike the standalone versions of the episodes, the compilation does not require a copy of ''Grand Theft Auto IV'' to play, nor is an [[Xbox Live]] or [[PlayStation Network]] account necessary (except for multiplayer). The content is also played straight from the disc, and does not need to be downloaded to a hard drive to play, like various other disc-based expansions for other Xbox 360 games that have been released in the past. Available exclusively on the ''Episodes from Liberty City'' disc are three new in-game radio stations β Vice City FM, RamJam FM and Self-Actualization FM.<ref>[http://www.rockstargames.com/theballadofgaytony/soundtrack Exclusive Features: Soundtrack]</ref> ==Content== ===The Lost and Damned=== {{Main|Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned}} ''The Lost and Damned'' otherwise features similar gameplay to ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]''. Additions to the game include new weapons, such as a [[grenade launcher]], Automatic [[Pistol]], half of a pool cue and [[pipe bomb]]s, as well as [[Sawed-off shotgun|sawn-off]] and [[Automatic shotgun|automatic]] [[shotguns]] and new vehicles, such as Johnny's custom-made [[motorcycle]]. However, his way of handling vehicles is less proficient than the way he handles any motorcycle. The player is able to telephone various members of the Lost to provide assistance. Terry, for instance, will drive to a location near to Johnny and sell him weapons and [[armour]], while Clay can deliver a bike of the player's choice to a nearby area. Another addition to The Lost and Damned is gang wars. Once the player has completed a certain amount of them, weapons spawn in either the clubhouse and/or safehouse depending on how far the player has progressed in the story, and every subsequent 10 gang wars up to 50, a new weapon will spawn. ===The Ballad of Gay Tony=== {{Main|Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony}} ''The Ballad of Gay Tony'' follows the exploits of a new [[protagonist]], Luis Fernando Lopez, an associate of a [[Dominican Republic|Dominican]] street gang, and the personal [[bodyguard]] of Anthony "Gay Tony" Prince. [[Rockstar Games]] claim in their [[News media|press]] release that this episode "injects [[Liberty City (Grand Theft Auto)|Liberty City]] with an overdose of [[guns]], glitz, and [[soot|grime]]" and that "players will struggle with the competing loyalties of family and friends, and with the uncertainty about who is real and who is fake in a world in which everyone has a price." ==Minimum & Recommended Specifications== {{Specs | min_win_os = [[Windows XP]] [[Windows XP Service Pack 3|SP3]]<ref name="gta4pcrdsysre-ign">{{Cite web|url=http://pc.ign.com/articles/925/925515p1.html |title=GTA IV PC Delayed to December|last=Thang|first=Jimmy |date=2008-10-30|publisher=IGN|accessdate=2008-10-30}}</ref> | rec_win_os = [[Windows Vista]] [[Windows Vista Service Pack 1|SP1]] / [[Windows 7]] | min_win_cpu = {{Icon|Intel}} [[Intel Core 2 Duo|Core 2 Duo]] 1.80 GHz <br> {{Icon|AMD}} [[AMD Athlon X2 64|Athlon X2 64]] 2.40 GHz | rec_win_cpu = {{Icon|Intel}} [[Intel Core 2 Quad|Core 2 Quad]] 2.40 GHz <br> {{Icon|AMD}} [[AMD Phenom X3|Phenom X3]] 2.10 GHz | min_win_ram = 1 [[GB]] ([[Windows XP]]) <br> 1.5 [[GB]] ([[Windows Vista]]) | rec_win_ram = 2 [[GB]] ([[Windows XP]]) <br> 2.5 [[GB]] ([[Windows Vista]]) | min_win_gpu = {{Icon|NVIDIA}} [[NVIDIA GeForce 7900|GeForce 7900]] <br> {{Icon|ATI}} [[ATI Radeon X1900|Radeon X1900]] | rec_win_gpu = {{Icon|NVIDIA}} [[NVIDIA GeForce 8600|GeForce 8600]] <br> {{Icon|ATI}} [[ATI Radeon 3870|Radeon 3870]] | min_win_gpuram = 256 [[MB]] | rec_win_gpuram = 512 [[MB]] | min_win_storage = 16 [[GB]] | rec_win_storage = 18 [[GB]] | min_win_network = Internet connection required for activation and multi-player | min_win_sound = [[DirectX 9.0c]]-compatible Sound card }} ==Differences from downloadable episodes== There are differences in how the disc content is experienced compared to the [[downloadable content|DLC]] versions of the same ''Grand Theft Auto'' episodes. The DLC episodes add music to the existing radio stations in ''Grand Theft Auto IV'' and music from the original game is available while playing the DLC episodes, enabling all three games to play a combined soundtrack of over 300 songs. ''Episodes From Liberty City'' does not contain radio music included with ''Grand Theft Auto IV'', nor does installing both discs on an Xbox 360 hard drive combine their soundtracks. However, ''Episodes'' includes radio stations that are not available for ''Grand Theft Auto IV''. The ''Episodes'' soundtrack features over 150 songs, one-third of which are exclusive to the disc. The gameplay content of the newer episode, ''[[Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony|The Ballad of Gay Tony]]'', is identical between the ''Episodes'' disc and the DLC version, and the multiplayer features of ''Gay Tony'' are compatible regardless of version. However, because of updates to the map of [[Liberty City (Grand Theft Auto)|Liberty City]] shared by both games on the disc, the ''Episodes'' version of ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned|The Lost and Damned]]'' cannot be used to join multiplayer sessions with users of the older DLC version of that game. ==References== {{Reflist}} ==External Links== * [http://www.rockstargames.com/episodesfromlibertycity/ Official website] {{Grand Theft Auto}}
