    Great addition to a great game. When I first started playing this game, I was dreading being on a motorbike most of the time, but it seems Rockstar sorted out the control on bikes, which makes sense considering this guy would have more experience than Niko.

    Gameplay is great, new additions to races, and new guns all make it seem like a whole new game in itself.    … Expand

    A great improvement over GTA IV, almost everything I had complaints about was fixed. The storyline is good a little depressing but good, I was a little disapointed by the 'ending.' The protagonist is awesome and more believable than Niko but probably not as interesting. Bikes have been greatly improved and I rarely rode anything but a motorcycle.

    The start of this game is not good, however towards the end it becomes great. A slight problem is the lack of missions. There are not a lot of missions, so the game's story doesn't last as long as Gay Tony or IV. GTA IV's PC port had problems, but they didn't appear in this for me.

    There are still some stability issues with this game but if you have over 1.5GB dedicated graphics memory it should be fine.

This expansion is not only a fantastic addition to GTA IV but good in itself. It still retains some ties to GTA IV's context and plot at some points but stays true to its own story and characters. It's not too short, and there isn't anything here which has been downgraded. In every way it's better than GTA IV. Additional weapons such as the sawed-off shotgun, the grenade launcher and automatic pistol make the combat much more satisfying. There is also a lot more focus on combat and you really appreciate the game mechanics more in TLAD because there is more action. Unlike GTA IV, there are no fillers. It's all action. You also don't need to worry about falling off your bike. The new bike you'll be using throughout grips very well, has good performance and is very stable. In terms of gameplay, TLAD resembles classic GTA missions such as those in San Andreas. Given the context of being in a biker gang, you feel part of the group, and can participate in social activities such as races, mini-games (like cards, pool and arm-wrestling) and the usual phoning up gang members to arrange some activity or request their services such as guns, bikes or back-up in combat. The complaints I have with this game which bring down my rating are the god-aweful radio stations. The soundtrack is hideous in all stations, but at least you can put your own music on using Independence FM. It is also a bit too short (only around 5 hours to see everything) and the level variety could be better. All in all though, this is a great expansion for an uninteresting, plain, boring and repetitive game. Definitely worth playing.… Expand

    We will know the story of Johnny and how it complements that of niko and will help us understand the plot of gta iv that is even more complicated than it seemed

    Regarding gta iv we find new vehicles and motorcycles, this time with improved driving on motorcycles. New songs, a grainy filter to the screens that can be turned off, new trophies and achievements and mini-games among other things.

    He also added some news and modes to the online

    Despite some problems in the pc version, it can be played at least today quite well and the improved graphic quality compared to the console versions makes it highly recommended.    … Expand

    Refrescante motivo para volver a Liberty City. Aunque si bien peca de ser demasiado corto y de hacernos sufrir un sentimiento de estar ante una parafernalia poco adulta en sus misiones. Aun así, se trata de una expansión decente.

    This is Grand Theft Auto IV with bikers . In this game graphics as in GTA IV, but I think this game is better than Grand Theft Auto IV because this game with DLC and this game is other edition . This game is best edition for Grand Theft Auto IV, even better than standard GTA IV . Normal for Grand Theft Auto IV .

    The Lost and Damned represents the first expansion of GTA IV, bringing more content to the original video game.

Billy Grey, a former president of the gang who was committed to a rehabilitation center    The Lost and Damned represents the first expansion of GTA IV, bringing more content to the original video game.

    *STORY*: Johnny Klebitz is a veteran member of the biker gang The Lost, a gang that operates throughout Liberty City of which he is its vice president, but whose main club is in Alderney. Billy Grey, a former president of the gang who was committed to a rehabilitation center for drug addiction, is eventually released on parole and is put back in charge of the biker club.

    Despite the narrative quality that Niko Bellic's story presented, Johnny's feels somewhat inferior despite still being of high caliber.

    **4/5 stars**

    *GAMEPLAY*: GTA IV featured gameplay that was pretty good, but the realistic driving of the vehicles didn't contribute very well to the fun.
    In The Lost and Damned there are not only new motorcycles, but the character control has been modified, providing similar but different sensations at the same time.

    *GRAPHICS*: Once a graphical beast as was the original GTA IV.

    *SOUND*: One aspect where this expansion surpasses the original is the soundtrack. Heavy music and its subgenres to make you feel in the skin of that biker you are in this expansion that get it perfectly, with themes well known in the world of heavy where, personally, I include myself and I know the quality that it emanates.

    *INNOVATION*: The Lost and Damned may be narratively inferior to the original, but where it gains a lot is in player immersion, and therefore I think it should have the same score.    … Expand

    En general amplia la experiencia GTA IV en todo, pero por lo cual no me ha encantado es la historia, es obvio en lo cual se ha basado Rockstar en hacer este dlc, pero creo que no esta a la altura ni se esfuerza por dar un buen mensaje con su historia.

    La historia de este DLC se nota que sufrió muchos cortes aquí y allá, muchas cosas están forzadas y muchas misiones tienen escenas y cosas que no le dan mucho sentido, puedes saltar de una misión en la cual el personaje esta realizando una reflexión buena sobre como va su club y de como la violencia les esta destruyendo y en la siguiente estar matando a todo lo que te encuentres sin decir palabra y sin que los compañeros del club les importe en absoluto.

    Nose en general la historia de este DLC me ha sacado mucho de la experiencia en la cual me metido GTA IV, pero no hay duda que apesar de su historia que apunta demasiado alto para lo cutre que es es un buen DLC que aporta unas cuantas horas de juego y entretenimiento.    … Expand

Ещё что раздражает что нас заставляют садиться на мотоцикл что раздражает, ведь хочется покататься на машине по городу, а не на этих железках на двух колесах. Причем мотоциклы и байки не проработаны. Физика не проработанная, даже если врезаться на полной скорости герой не падает с мотоцикла, в то время как Нико Беллик при малейшем прикосновении падает. Оптимизация хуже чем в оригинальной GTA 4, но к эпизоду TBOGT им удалось оптимизировать игру. Ещё что бросается зернистость экрана, хоть её можно выключить в настройках. Но всё равно, бросается в глаза уродливый оранжевый цветофильтр, а когда идет дождь или пасмурно наоборот игра приобретает серый окрас. Из положительного, игра довольно короткая. Я прошел ее за 2 дня с длинными перерывами, это радует. Сюжет не очень. Игре ставлю 5/10, всё таки это дополнение великой GTA 4, можно разок пройти.… Expand

    The start of the game can be tedious but it really shines towards the end of the game, and I love all the new content that wasn't in GTA V. I also much prefer Liberty Rock Radio in TLAD far more than in GTA IV.
