This is a downloadable episode and as such, it is judged against other episodic content on Xbox 360. There's just so much content here that it feels like something brand new. It's important to note that The Lost and Damned is not a new game. I recommend giving L&D a shot, not because Johnny is a great new addition to the Rockstar universe, but because the gameplay from GTA IV has been improved for the better. But there are enough interesting asides to GTA IV that most can overlook the weaker story and just enjoy L&D for what it is - a supplement to a great game. The Lost and Damned's one failing is in creating a character that's difficult to care about. The Lost and Damned makes riding motorcycles fun and The Ballad of Gay Tony adds a scoring system for each mission, increasing the replay value. These two stories finish off the tale of the stolen diamonds from GTA IV while adding some welcome gameplay improvements. Just know that you are getting more than 20 hours of great gameplay at a reasonable price. I've reviewed The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony in-depth, so I won't go over each in great detail here. This $40 disc includes both episodes and can be played without owning a copy of GTA IV. If you don't have Xbox Live or you no longer own a copy of GTA IV, you can still enjoy these new stories by picking up Episodes of Liberty City from your local game store. Rockstar has now delivered on that promise with the The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony. While it was big news that Rockstar was bringing GTA IV to Xbox 360 at the same time it hit PS3, the bigger story was the promise of two exclusive downloadable episodes.
