Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Expand your command over the rough and tumble Grand Theft Auto underworld with GTA IV: The Lost and Damned for Xbox 360. You'll need an Xbox LIVE connection and a GTA IV game disk to use this add-on content, but once you're connected, you'll have a whole new perspective on Liberty City.

Johnny Klebitz of The Lost is no newcomer to the biker gangs of Liberty City. View larger.

Take a Joy Ride with Johnny Klebitz
Unlike Niko Bellic of GTA IV, and most of the other central GTA characters you may be familiar with, Johnny Klebitz is no newcomer to the tumultuous underworld of Liberty City, he's a local that lets you see the streets through fresh eyes. VP of "The Lost" motorcycle club and brother of Billy, the club's hot-headed president, Johnny built up profitable truces with other local gangs while his brother was in rehab, but now that Johnnie's out, chaos is back at the forefront of life for this crew.

If this sounds too tame for you, don't worry -- you'll find yourself leveling brutal attacks on cops and rivals, taking your fill of booze and women, and watching out for drug deals gone wrong in classic GTA style. Find a way to stick together, don't hesitate to kill if you have to, and hold on for the ride as this storyline intersects with the main story from GTA IV, exposing tons of the gut-wrenching twists you've come to expect from series creator Rockstar North.

Experience the Thrill of a Sleek, Graphic Production
Series fans have come to expect more from Grand Theft Auto titles--from more action to better production and truly diverse soundtracks--and they won't be disappointed with this edition. In addition to powerful graphics, cool lighting, and music not found in the rest of GTA IV, this expansion pack boasts new multiplayer modes for exploiting Liberty City with your friends, hot new vehicles, and newly minted weapons.

This add-on is only available as a download from Xbox LIVE, so you'll receive an activation code instead of a disk in the package, along with a two-sided GTA poster.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just a warning,, February 17, 2009

This isn't so much a review of The Lost & the Damned (which is great BTW), as it is a warning about spending the $22.95 they're asking for this card as of today. The game is only 1600 regular microsoft points ($19.99 just about everywhere), you don't need a special code or anything so save the few bucks and just get regular MS points, or use a credit card on the xboxlive site to download the extra episodes.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a Download, Not a Disk, March 13, 2009

It probably says somewhere in the description that this is a download code, not a disk, but somehow I missed it. If, for instance, you are in Afghanistan where the internet is as reliable as the train service, a 1.8 gigabyte download is measured in calendar days.

An easier alternative is to just purchase this directly from the xbox marketplace when you log on with your xbox.

This review is from: Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned (Video Game)

This is downloadable content done right. The story of Johnny K. and the rest of his biker compatriots is done so well that the claim that videogames may overtake movies in the arena of cinematic storytelling is given just that much more credibility. Compared to the cinematics of GTAIV, the cut scenes are a step up in quality on just about all counts. Facial expressions, voice acting... even the small nuances in an actor's performance make the story an engaging one, pulling you in right from the beginning moments.

The big difference between GTAIV and this expansion is that now you take on the role of Johnny Klebitz, a mad dog biker making his way up the ranks of The Lost MC (motorcycle club). The Lost MC are a colorful bunch and to detail these characters would ruin any kind of surprise that the game holds. Let's just say that you'll love who you're supposed to love and you'll despise the ones who deserve it. The story is action packed and dramatic, with great dialogue and great scenes between characters new and old. Even the missions here feel fresh, with some truly astounding mission sequences that really ratchet up the tension with loads of action packed violence. The best part is, the story fills in some unanswered blanks from Niko's time on the streets. You've met Johnny before, you probably just don't remember it.

Gameplay is just about the same with more of a focus on being a part of this family unit on wheels. You'll be spending most of your time on a motorcycle, as you'd expect. Some mechanics like the cell phone remain the same but suffice to say, when you call one of your "brothers", they'll be coming to help you either as weapon suppliers or straight backup. Even when you finish the story there will still be things for you to do: wiping out rival gangs, stealing vehicles for profit and in a tribute to the classic Road Rash games from years back, races where you wail on people with baseball bats. What more can you ask for?

A whole load of new tracks are seamlessly added to the in-game radio stations with 70's flavored rock understandably making up the bulk. The online modes are pretty sweet, with some new gameplay variations. Online play is definitely a blast, especially Witness Protection, a mode that pits players as either the cops or the motorcycle gang. The catch here is that the cops are charged with getting a bus with states witnesses on it from location to location before the motorcycle gang takes out the witnesses or the bus altogether. Mayhem is probably the best word to describe it.

If you liked GTAIV, this is a worthy purchase. The story is really well done and adds a sweet cap to the events that transpired in GTAIV. You get your money's worth and then some. This is a 5-star title all the way.

And this is only the first of two!
