    Get Your Motor Runnin' in Liberty City

    Johnny Klebitz is in the spotlight for Lost & Damned

    The first few missions I played as Johnny Klebitz showed that Rockstar really know how to deliver engaging content. Grand Theft Auto: The Lost & Damned is set in Liberty City, but has a very different feel from the time spent there as Niko Bellic. In the beginning of the episode you are the vice president of The Lost, One of the Biker Gangs in Liberty City, and will spend a lot of time on 2 wheeled machines and thankfully motorcycles are more maneuverable than playing as Niko and are also integral to many of the new missions.

    Team work is also a key feature in the episode. Most missions allow and encourage Johnny to call up some fellow Lost Biker members to help him out. Doing so will upgrade  these characters and also allow them to carry more powerful weapons.

    Without giving too much away in terms of the story, expect to clash with a few biker gangs and various old and new characters that the Lost & Damned brings. Johnny in my opinion is less likable than Niko, but he does have a few caring characteristics which is why many believe him to be a great member and asset of the gang.
    Lost & Damned contains themes of Loyalty, Respect, and Brotherhood. And also Sweet Rides!

    A nice addition to the episode is a slew of new multiplayer content. There's still the typical deathmatch and team-deathmatch, but there are many new modes including Racing on motorcycles with bats reminisce of Road Rash, and an cooperative mode where players must complete missions as a team and ride in gang formations.

    Overall this is an amazing package and you'll definitely get your 1600 points worth if you enjoyed the great content that was in Grand Theft Auto IV.    

    5/5
    +New Additions to the arsenal of weapons found in Liberty City
    +Easier Motorcycle Controls
    +More Multiplayer Features
    +New Engaging Story
    +Nice cameo appearances from old GTA IV characters including Niko Himself

    -8 to 10 hours didn't feel like enough time to me to tell Johnny's Story
    -Download only content  that comes in at almost 2 gigs. It could have been a retail disc that those without hard drives could access. But when the Ballad of Gay Tony Comes Out, it will be on a disc titled "Episodes in Liberty City" for 39.99

        In The Lost and Damned, you’ll play as Johnny Klebitz, the vice-president of a once civil bike gang. All of his attempts at maintaining a peaceful, prosperous biker gang go to hell when the president, Billy Grey, is released from rehab and decides to throw a 40oz at common sense. If you thought it was weird that Grand Theft Auto 4 tried so hard to make you sympathize for the sociopath Niko Bellic, then you’re in luck because this game is filled with certifiably despicable jerks that you’d n...

      The Lost & Damned(Xbox 360) by death_unicorn on July 15, 2009

      So I just finished the Lost and the Damned. Yes, simple as that, but I must say it was AWESOME. Which is quite a surprise because I could not stand to finish GTA IV because of the repetitive missions, and your annoying friends, it seemed that every time you were about to do something fun, Roman would call up and would state that you and him don't spend enough time together, and that you guys should go see some American titties. Of course I'd say no because I'm about to jump off a freakin' helico...
