Grand Theft Auto 4: The Lost And Damned Review....


The Lost and Damned is here and the game really rock!! :) And now i'm gonna review this game....

Gameplay:

The gameplay, much the same to the GTA 4..... The controls, movement, e.t.c..... But new character, new bikes(Woo hoo!), new weapons, new missions..... I love the main character of the game....
Now this is what i call bikers..... That's Johnny Klebitz.... The main character.... And his gang, The Lost...
They just added few more bikes to the game.... Which is cool bikes....
Look at it... The bikes are beautiful..... You can play some more mini games like high-low, arm wrestling pool and air hockey.... The weapons, OMG.... They added H&K-69 40mm grenade launcher, a CZ-75 automatic machine pistol, half of a pool cue and pipe bombs, as well as a sawn-off shotgun and an American variant of the Armsel Striker known as the Streetsweeper..... And now you can buy low prices gun without making them respect you! Yeah, much more easier..... And safe some money..... The missions makes me amazed but it's too short..... If they expand the storyline, it'll be great! You can (also) play the side missions like Gang Wars and other stuff..... And when you do the mission or side mission, you can call your gang members to back you up...... Makes the mission easy to complete.... Helps you a lot when in gunfire.... The soundtracks are awesome! Like ACDC, e.t.c.... They put more radio stations like LCHC - Liberty City Hardcore and Liberty Rock Radio saw the biggest addition of new tracks, to go with the expansion's overall biker/rock theme. LCHC also got the addition of a new radio show dedicated to extreme metal hosted by Max Cavalera.Additional tracks were added to the rotation of The Beat 102.7 (with DJ Statik Selektah & Funkmaster Flex) and Radio Broker as well as a new radio show on the talk station WKTT; The Martin Serious Show (a parody of Shock Jock style radio programs).

Storyline:

The storyline is awesome.... And got some crossover..... Like meet Niko Bellic at Elizabeta's house..... The story begins with Johnny Klebitz and all the members of the infamous biker gang, The Lost Motorcycle Club, driving through the night streets of Alderney. In a brief cameo, Niko Bellic, the main character of Grand Theft Auto IV, swears at a passer-by on the street as the gang drives past.
Johnny is the vice president of the gang, but has been the acting president for a year because the club's president, Billy Grey, has been in court-ordered rehab after being arrested for narcotics possession. As leader, Johnny has established The Lost throughout Liberty City by making truces and deals after suffering several financial troubles, mainly caused by Billy's poor leadership. The most notable truce is with The Lost's rivals, The Angels of Death, which has allowed The Lost to operate their drug deals and gun running operations more freely.
On being released from rehab, Billy immediately reverts to a life of crime and thus tensions quickly grow between Billy and Johnny, who believe the gang should go different ways. Johnny wants to keep the gang running smoothly, deeming war with other gangs as immature and bad for business, whereas Billy prefers acts of random violence and mayhem. As such, Billy quickly breaks the truce established by Johnny and a gang war erupts between The Lost and The Angels of Death, which serves as the main basis for the game. Along the way, Johnny becomes involved with Ray Boccino and the infamous diamond deal seen in Grand Theft Auto IV. Johnny also has to deal with his ex-girlfriend, Ashley, a drug addict who constantly gets herself into trouble.
Eventually, Billy is arrested after a failed drug deal with the Triads and Johnny takes over as President of The Lost. This immediately sparks a civil war in the gang, one side with Johnny, the other with Brian Jeremy, who is still loyal to Billy and believes Johnny to be responsible for Billy's arrest. Brian stages a coup against Johnny in which most of the Lost are killed, but Brian escapes. Johnny later arrives at Brian's safehouse and kills him along with the last of his goons, ending Brian's own chapter of the Lost. Shortly after, it is revealed that Billy is going to testify against the Lost in exchange for entering the Witness Protection Program. Johnny leads a raid on the state prison in Alderney, where Billy is being held, and personally executes him. Immediately afterwards Johnny discovers that Jim, a married man with a child and a trusted veteran of The Lost, has been killed in retribution for the botched diamond deal earlier in the game. The end reveals that the only surviving members of The Lost are Johnny, Clay, Terry and Angus. Their club and brotherhood destroyed, they decide to burn their clubhouse to the ground. The last shot is of them watching it burn, contemplating what comes next. Ashley promises Johnny that she will go to rehab, with Johnny wishing her luck.
At several points throughout the course of the game, the plot intertwines with events from Grand Theft Auto IV and is seen and played out from Johnny's perspective. These include Elizabeta's drug deal going wrong, and Ray Boccino's diamond operation (both of which were played from Niko's perspective in the main game). It is revealed that it was Johnny who kidnapped Roman Bellic and took him to the warehouse in Bohan where Niko eventually rescued him in the main game. It is also revealed that a seemingly random biker that Niko killed for Ray Boccino in the main game was actually Johnny's best friend, Jim Fitzgerald. Also, Niko's killing of The Lost member Jason Michaels under orders from Mikhail Faustin is mistaken for an assassination by The Angels of Death, re-igniting the gang war between them. The ending movie shows key points in the original story line, such as Niko and Roman finding their home and cab business destroyed, and Niko executing Vlad, with The Lost riding in the background. One of the missions also involves Tony Prince from The Ballad of Gay Tony and provides Johnny's perspective to the first piece of plot to the expansion's storyline. (Also from Wikipedia....^o^)

Cheats:

Yeah, games will dull if they don't put some cheats..... The cheats has some more bikes, like Hexer, Johnny's bike and other bikes, more weapons and you can also use the GTA 4 cheats.....

Conclusion:

Well, 9 out of 10 coz the storyline is too short..... Go buy it right now... It's on Xbox Live and Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City (Disc) at your local store.....
