Great expansion for Grand Theft Auto IV.
I liked The Lost and the Damned DLC for the main game. It had a good story, atmosphere and improved driving mechanics.

I liked The Lost and the Damned DLC for the main game. It had a good story, atmosphere and improved driving mechanics. The expansion revolves around a classic rival biker gang revenge story with lots of fighting, betrayal and gang violence. The game also has improved driving mechanics for motorcycles, something that very welcome for a game in which you mostly drive Harleys. There are many new vehicles as well.
I really liked the biker setting of the game and it reminded me of series like Sons of Anarchy. The story was almost just as good as the main game, and although classic and a little cliché, it was well written and played out.
You can now blow up enemy Harleys with pipe bombs in true biker style. You can complete several gang related missions, raids, races and mini games to gain control of the streets. The amount of different bikes throughout the DLC is amazing, and every one is responsive and looks badass.
The biggest irony, in my opinion, is that this cute little DLC from GTA IV, made a far more supreme biker gang game with the appropriate aesthetics and atmosphere, than games like Ride to Hell: Retribution.
The Lost and the Damned is an excellent piece of DLC and maybe one of the better ones I played in a long time. This is the kind of expansion in which I hope they make a full GTA release from it. This DLC is another reason that I still think Grand Theft Auto IV is the best in the series.
I would definitely recommend this expansion or get it in the complete edition from GTA IV.
