The Lost and Damned is the first of two downloadable episodes for Grand Theft Auto 4. You play as Johnny a member of the Lost Motorcycle Club, Lost and Damned's story is great but nowhere as good as Grand Theft Auto 4's story. Lost and Damned is $20 and your getting more then $20 worth of content, this DLC has twice as much as much as other DLC but then again it cost way more then most. Lost and Damned includes over 50 new songs most of which are rock and heavy metal, which I happen to love and it fits to game's attitude and tone very will. The graphics and just as good as before but Rockstar did put a film grain effect, I personally love it but many people I know hate it. Something that really surprised me was that I didn't want to be in a car or taxi. Rockstar did an incredible job making the bikes fun and easy to ride, in GTA 4 the bikes where hard and dangerous to ride so it's great that they fixed that problem.  Lost and Damned added 5 or 6 new multiplayer modes including a new Bike Racing, Witness Protection, and Own the City. You must change between episodes to play with people with the DLC but thats a small problem. There's so much content in the Lost and Damned you must be brain dead not to pick this up, if you buy it at the store you get a 48-hour trial card and a poster.



Lasting Appeal
: 
Just like any other Grand Theft Auto game Lost and Damned can last you forever.

Sound: 
With over 50 new songs, the soundtrack just got 50 songs better.

Story: 
Lost and Damned's story is just a cut below greatness, It has it's flaws but the story is still better than most.

Graphics: 
The graphics are starting to show there age, but the game's graphics are still great.

Gameplay: 
Unlike GTA 4 this game is more action then story, which sorta brings the game back to it's root which personally I don't care but I likes the story driven gameplay of GTA 4 more, nonetheless the game is still awesome.

Multiplayer: 
Great new modes and with the new weapons the multiplayer is more then ever.

Overall Score: 
This is an unbelievable game, BUY IT!!!
