GTA IV: Lost & Damned



Rockstar just recently released their first in a series of two downloadable content for the XBOX 360 game Grand Theft Auto 4. This time around: The Lost & Damned. L&D pits you as Johnny, the co-leader of the biker gang The Lost. You start the series a few "days" into the original Grand Theft Auto missions where you only hear about Niko (Niko has no new lines due to his original contract) and then eventually team up together through a contact named Elizabetha.

There isn't much to say about L&D but a few key points are:

1) Superior motor bike handling. This is important because you spend a very large chunk of the game on a bike.
2) New weapons. L&D introduces the grenade launcher, pipe bomb, auto-matic handgun etc.
3) New life/armor graphics, text and new music on a select few radio stations.

For $20.00 you get another 10 + hours of gameplay and the key points I stated above. If you're a fan of the Grand Theft Auto series this is a MUST but if you didn't enjoy what GTA 4 gave you then you will not enjoy Lost & Damned. It is a whole lot of the same thing (chase someone down, kill them. Find someone, kill his cronies, kill him.) but adds different views of the GTA4 world that you didn't get to see while playing Niko.
