    Took long enough to come out, but it's worth dusting off the cobwebs for more fun in liberty city, good for weeks worth of play at a very reasonable price.

The Lost and Damned answers this question by adding a whole new story arc running in parallel with the main story. You follow the misadventures of Johnny Klebitz, a protagonist with a much less ambitious goal that the original main man Niko: to ensure the survival of The Lost, his motorcycle gang. And the bikes are central in the story, as most missions are required to be completed riding them. For that, motorcycle control was greatly improved, making it a lot harder to fall than it was before. A less-realistic approach, but vital for the game not to become frustrating. The connection between this expansion and the original is near-perfect; with new characters interacting and giving new depth to old ones. It is also great to see the attention to details Rockstar has put in this expansion, with the new menu styles and grain filter adding to the darker atmosphere of The Lost and Damned. While it lacks a little bit of the charisma of the original and introduces new extra activities that are pretty much modifications of old ones, The Lost and Damned is a great expansion that no Grand Theft Auto player should miss.… Expand

    This one is a bit boring. It's too repetitive and too serious. Although the story is quit interesting and you get the well known GTA IV experience but with another character.

    A fantastic game!. Along with TBOGT, TLAD is a phenomenal add on for the thriving grand theft auto franchise. Hours upon hours of enterntainment. The story is perfectly layed out and the characters are extraordinarily designed. LOVE IT, BUY IT!

    The Lost and Damned is the best of 2 DLC to GTA IV. It is not so licked and fashionable as The Ballad of Gay Tony, but very atmospheric. There is a moderately short (1/3 of the main game) plot and it does not have obvious subsidence in dynamics as it was in GTA IV. Also, biker life is excellent here and there are a couple of memorable missions. GTA IV I was on Xbox360, and Episodes fromThe Lost and Damned is the best of 2 DLC to GTA IV.

So unfortunately, the version of the game for PS3 is inferior in graphic terms, and sometimes there are FPS subsides below 30 frames. In general, this is probably the best game about bikers, although there are not so many of them))… Expand

    Dieser Story DLC macht nicht viel anders als das Hauptspiel und bringt coole Ideen und ein cooles Setting. Leider sind die Missionen etwas wiederholend. ABER: Wenn man bei Missionen scheitert, muss man nicht wie beim Hauptspiel die ganze Strecke nochmal laufen/fahren, sondern startet direkt in der Mission. Sehr gute Neuerung.

    Es un juego genial. Un poco corto. Un poco más difícil que el GTA IV, hasta que te haces con “la barredora de calles”

    One of the best expansions in the history of video games. It's even better than some full games.

    We are part of a biker gang with many problems of all kinds inside and outside their gang.

    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.

    This game is very disappointing. I am a major GTA fan and this is by far the worst GTA game for the PS3.

    The Missions are extremly boring. Most of them are following a bunch of bikers for 5 minutes to a place an then shooting a bunch of guys. Although this description can fit to every GTA game, most GTA games have a few very fun and interesting missions, But TLAD has almost no missions that differentiate from one another, except the ending, which is the most fun ive had.
    The Story is also very disappointing. GTA4 had realistic and believable characters with a charismatic protagonist. The Ballad of Gay Tony had extremly funny dialogue, with a protagonist who isnt taking himself very seriously, which is a nice change of pace.
    But TLAD has no good story elements. The characters dont evolve at all, there is the good friend who always is nice to you and then who inevitably dies, there is your group leader who is a dickhead and the "twist" villian of the game, which you can see on the first **** cutscene in the game. And all the main Protagonist is the typical moron who hates everyone and everything and who is extremly desperate for a girl and does like 8 errands for her, even though he says its over with them.
    Overall, this is the worst GTA game ive ever played. If this were a stand alone game, it would be meh, but considering this is a GTA GAME, a franchise which has set the bar for open world games so high, this is a terrible GTA game.
    4/10, atleast i got for like 8 bucks, but i still think it was a waste of money. Buy The Ballad of Gay Tony instead.    … Expand

    Now that the instruction manuals are short and avoidable, and the retail boxes are losing its importance, The Lost and Damned is the answer to the future of downloadable contents. Rockstar brings the fan new features for both campaign and multiplayer sides, and a single player experience with nearly 12 hours of duration that makes this exclusive expansion a highlight for GTA IV supporters.

    The sheer amount of content in The Lost and Damned is truly impressive considering its modest twenty dollar asking price.
