The mechanics of it are the exact same as GTA IV. Not that that's totally a bad thing it's just not a good mayhem game. Especially when Just Cause, Saints Row and Prototype are all on the market.

Given that - and as much as I like it - I still prefer the original far more. The story in GTA IV felt like a really long journey rather than just a few weeks in the life of a club manager or greasy biker.

GTA IV's Storyline was a joke - it was so dull and depressing and the game itself was 'too realistic'.

What Rockstar did with Gay Tony, was return to the way the game was back in Vice City and San Andreas and got rid of the whole 'Realism' feature.

How can you say it's not a Mayhem game?
Look at those pictures.

It certainly is, far more than GTA IV.

I haven't played Just Cause although I'd like to, Prototype - fair enough.

But it's definitely a great game to just go bonkers in, not as much as you could in SA or VC but it's almost there.

Lost and Dammed was awesome though, c'mon?
Honestly the storyline might not of been 'as deep' as IV but Rockstar did an amazing job tieing BOGT and TLAD in with GTA IV - and the missions themselves within Gay Tony and Lost and Dammed, piss all over the missions in GTA IV.

They were so much fun to do, particularly BOGT.
I think the best mission TLAD had was that 'Prison Break' one where you need to drive the bus to the other side of town whilst being attacked by Police - doesn't sound appealing but it was a blast.
