    The expansion to Rockstar Games' blockbuster hit Grand Theft Auto 4 doesn't attempt to expand the scope of neither Liberty City nor the content to be found there. Sure, there are some new cars and multiplayer modes, but the main focus of this expansion is to flesh out the story of Liberty City and it's inhabitants. With Lost And Damned we're invited to join Johnny and his biker associates on their journey through the hardships and seedy sides of Liberty City. This expansion is worth every penny in the price tag.

    But the best thing about the expansion is how it fails to outstay its welcome.

    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.

    The sheer size of this expansion is staggering.

    Worth it based on the fact that the game lasts roughly 7 hours for only $20 with new online modes when another expansion (Halo:ODST) lasted roughly 4 hours and retailed for $60 with no new online except the horde-like firefight. Expand

    At first, I didn't like this DLC. But after playing it a while, I can agree that it was well done for what it is. I was against the typical moto-club atmosphere, but you get past that after a short while. I won't waste too much time BS'in, if you liked the regular game, this is an extention to it, with the emphesis put more on motorcycles. Not as good as the original, but more than you get from some other downloads close to this price. Expand

    TLAD. Good add-on, but expected a lot more. The new player, missions, vehicles and weapons is awesome. But the safe houses are crap. the length of the main missions is rubbish. i had it completed in a day. You cant change your clothes and have lost the clothes shops. Had I played it before i got it, i wouldnt hav forked out 15 quid for it. hopefully the next is better. Expand
  4. GTA: TLAD is the most disapointing thing ever. 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
