This 2nd DLC has more of the stuff I hate about GTA4. 'The Lost and Damned' was a big step in the right direction, but this takes 2 big steps back. The game is trying even harder to be 'Days of Our Lives'. The acting is even more wooden and hammy. The characters, stories and dialogue feel recycled. The missions are the same tired old missions I've done in dozens of other games. The inane mini-games. The endless chatter in the car; too, from and during missions. The moronic friends who need to you to babysit them.
Rockstar's attempt to give TBoGT a cinematic feel, makes the game much worse. The game feels dated. The controls are a little clunky. The interface with the cell phone was clever, but is just awkward. The graphics are no longer cutting edge, which makes the 1000 shades of gray in the city look duller than last nights washing water.
Rockstar seem to have run of ideas and left the monkeys in charge. This feels more like a dirge, than a ballad.
