What is the difference between Grand Theft Auto Liberty City stories and Grand Theft Auto episodes from Liberty City?

Answer 1

Liberty City Stories was made for PS2 on top of the GTAIII engine, when GTA Episodes from Liberty City is an add on content made for XBOX360 version of the GTAIV having two episodes: "The Lost and Damned" and "Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony"

Both add-on episodes for the XBOX360 were also released as a standalone game called Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City that does not require the original Grand Theft Auto IV media to be playable.

Answer 2

GTA IV is the main game and storyline, with Episodes From Liberty City: The Lost & Damned, and The Ballad Of Gay Tony, as spin offs.

Each Game Shows some of the main missions from the perspective of the different protagonists (Niko, Luis and Johnny), but with their own, different missions as well. It all takes place in the same Liberty City. Each protagonist has his own safehouse(s), with added items such as the clubs, Maisonette 9 and Hercules, for Luis, and the biker's chapter house, for Johnny. There is also different songs on the radio between the main game and EFLC, and additional vehicle types.

GTA IV, being the main game, is longer and has more mission work. Although you don't have to play the main game before playing EFLC, I would recommend doing so, because it does make a difference to the way you see the game and play it, as Niko, Luis and Johnny all appear in GTA IV.

Answer 3

GTA: Episodes From Liberty City, which includes The Lost & Damned and The Ballad Of Gay Tony, (two games on one disk) is a spin-off from GTA IV. Originally an exclusive for the Xbox 360, it is now also available for the PS3 and PC.

The Lost & Damned has Johnny Klebitz from The Lost biker gang, as the protagonist; and The Ballad Of Gay Tony has Luis Lopez, right hand man of Tony Prince, as the protagonist. Both Johnny and Luis appeared in GTA IV during various missions, interacting with Niko. In EFLC you get the opportunity to see these missions from the perspective of Johnny and Luis, and the actions they had to take, as well as new missions of their own.

There are, for example, extra vehicles and weapons, fresh songs on the radio stations, extra areas opened up (and some not accessible). The two games are shorter than the main game, but have different things included, and are very enjoyable.
