    This is how DLC’s got to be. Over 20 new missions, new characters, new weapons and save points during missions (finally!) make this an extraordinary add on for an extraordinary game. Sadly it’s exclusive for 360.

    Excellently written, acted and dramatized. The interweaving stories are pure genius. Character movement control needs tweaking, but that's a minor gripe. [Mar 2009]

    There’s an obvious luxury to riffing on a masterpiece that other games simply can’t enjoy, but that doesn’t make the choice to blow the city wide-open any less brave. [Apr 2009, p.110]

    Storytelling in The Lost and Damned is also of an exceedingly high standard, with Rockstar once again showing the rest of the industry how it should be done. While we prefer Niko over Johnny as a leading character, the quality of acting here is top notch, perhaps even better than it was in the original, and the tension within the gang is portrayed exceedingly well.

    TLAD is a great expansion that adds awesome new content, and one that is well worth the investment of time and money for any GTA IV fan.
  7. Game Revolution

    Building off an already impressive design set by its predecessor, this DLC pack only shows what awesome scenarios can be told in future content packs. Its story can feel disjointed at points, but it is contained between exciting missions and just about the exact amount of time you'd feel comfortable roaming around in a downloadable title.

    The gameplay was improved and cleaned up. If you got the disc it fixes the framerate problem that the original GTA IV had. If you downloaded The gameplay was improved and cleaned up.

    If you thought GTA4 needed to be a couple ten hours longer, this one's for you. There are a few new stuff like bike races and calling in If you thought GTA4 needed to be a couple ten hours longer, this one's for you. There are a few new stuff like bike races and calling in friends for back up but other than the story, missions, and songs, it's more of the same, except for the new grain filter which makes it even darker at night time if you could believe that. Also the cell phone which was present in GTA4 is still there, and it's about time I realized that, realistic as it is, it makes life a lot more difficult. If the dozens of car crashes we hear abbout on the news don't prove it, this game will confirm that TEXTING BEHIND THE WHEEL GETS YOU CRASHING!! Speaking of driving, Johnny (the mc) doesn't fall off of bicicles as easily as Niko does. Also, they thankfully took out the friends system, which bugged me about GTA4. Lastly, this game lacks achievements and trophies. I know that I said it's more of the same, which is true, but why can't I unlock achievements for GTA4 when playing this? There aren't even any unique ones for online. Considering this game is $20, and $40 behind Gay Tony, this is definatly worth way more than what it's charging! I'd check it out if you liked GTA4. One more thing: this game is very difficult!… Expand

Now just like IV the characters are the same the story makes no sense at all, when you heard that a new GTA is coming out you were thinking "How bad can it be, it can't be worse than IV, I mean you play as a biker and do everything you did in IV". Yeah until you played the game and it blew you're mind, no Im serious you went straight to the guy who sold you the game to get you're money back and an extra few hours that you wasted. TLAD is in fact worse than IV but its not the worst in the series, like Yoda once said "There is another". 2/10… Expand
