10 Video Game DLC Releases That Were Better Than The Original

3. Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad Of Gay Tony

Although many fell head over heels in love with GTA: IV when it was released (some even called it the greatest game of all-time) there was a vocal contingent that argued the game removed too much content from GTA: San Andreas and was a step down in terms of fun. 

That aspect most certainly returned in Ballad of Gay Tony. There are seven new weapons,  the characters are more lighthearted and the missions might be the best that GTA has ever produced. In fact, the quest line involving the spoiled Arab Prince Yusuf and his desire to find increasingly elaborate gifts for his Sheik father may just be the most entertaining series of missions in GTA history.

Yet the biggest improvement Gay Tony made to GTA IV is how much it gives the player to do after the campaign is over. From managing night clubs to base jumping, Ballad of Gay Tony actually gave you a reason to come back to GTA IV and still does after all these years.
