    Just FYI guys, $20 buys you what Rockstar calls a whole new game. GTA4 is about 8GB of data... This is just about 2, and it doesn't have to hold map textures or vehicles or anything... So they may not be lying.

    Anyone on it?

    Got it this morning UK time , pretty good , played 3 or 4 missions before i went to work.

    Needed to change the gfx settings though as on my TV the new noise reduction stuff made it look very grainy. Seems a wee bit more polished in the gfx as well.

    Will play more tonight when i get home :D

    Reports are that the game is about 1/3rd the length of GTA4, and the bulk of the story happens in Alderney. There are indeed cameos by the GTA4 cast and crew, Niko Bellic included.

    The add on can be bought in stores as well. So if you have an coupons or store credit I suggest getting it at a store.

    crud... All you can buy in stores is a download code.. I still have to get home and download it. I was hoping the in-store game was on a disc. Oh well.

    I downloaded it today... I dunno.

    I may be the minority here, but I think I've had enough GTA4. It seems like a cool add on. I put in an hour or so... But I dont really give a crap about the Lost gang like I gave a crap about Nikko Belic.

    Great voice acting. I'll put more time into it after Star Ocean 4.

    I bought the damn game for PS3 because my 360 was up for repairs at the time and I'm a huge GTA fan boy... couldn't wait the extra month. I've got to find me a cheap copy on eBay so I could snatch up L&D!!!

    Unlike Fallout 3, I'm not really upset about missing out on this DLC. I haven't finished an entire GTA game since Vice city. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed GTA4 a lot, just not enough to stop me from putting it down before I was finished for something else. I'll eventually finish it I'm sure b/c Nikko's story is interesting.

    Same game, different character. You play as Johnny, the biker who made two appearances in GTA4; one in a mission for Elizabeta (coke deal gone bad) and the other in a mission for Ray (the museum diamond deal.)

    There are heavy rumors that the second DLC expansion's main character will be Luis Fernando Lopez, who also had cameo appearances in GTA4: he was one of the customers in line at the bank robbery mission with Packie, and he's the guy who busts up the aforementioned diamond deal.

    weird, i 100% thought they'd simply extend Nikko's story. its the same game played by a whole new character/plot. interesting.

    I'm not saying it's bad (it probably looks like I am)... it's just not as interesting as Nikko's story

    I have to be honest, with Niko it felt like there wasn't a story. His search for Cravic and Brevic doesn't really come to prominence until near the end of the game, the Bulgarin stuff was terrible (he just disappears after the waste plant shootout), and "Roman got into trouble again lawlz" got old after the second time.

    Great game, solid characters, but little to no story. I enjoyed San Andreas more from a story perspective.

    i agree with you here. i thought GTA4's story got a little scattered, and lost throughout the game..and they really tried to have a tight story. but i still enjoyed the hell out of it.

    im loyal to the series, and after about half an hour, i am enjoying this add-on too. i ride, i like bikes and biker stories...so its a fun angle for me.

    when Microsoft bought the exclusive for the DLC, rockstar said to consider GTA: Liberty City Stories to be an episode of GTA:III. So lost and damned seems to fit that mold.

    If you've played the psp games then you know what i mean. the games are virtually the same as their predecessors, you're just running around as a different guy.

    Well it appears that the DLC has been underwhelming and according to an article I have read online Take Two said that GTAIV sold almost equally worldwide and in the US for both the PS3 and 360. I am not sure if this is indeed accurate but if it is I am wondering if MS simply wasted their money.

    I blame them for not releasing a retail disc. People don't wanna buy a download. For most people, that idea seems ridiculous.

    Whenever a customer asked me about the lost and damned case ont he wall i'd tell them theres no disc in there and its just a bar code, and they didn't buy it. For whatever reason, people don't like that.

    Its an ownership thing. People want to be able to touch the disc.
