Selecting multiplayer opens you up to these specific modes that are tied directly into the Biker theme of the game, as opposed to the run-of-the-mill modes you found in GTA IV. The AI for these two characters is pretty solid - a little better than the AI you get for partner characters who occasionally accompany you on other missions as mandated by the story.Īnother addition to The Lost and Damned comes in the form of specific multiplayer modes, which can also be accessed at any time via the cell phone function. Each mission that you successfully finish with them in tow will build up experience bars, including things like health and weapons, making them stronger the more you use them. The Lost and Damned also has an experience system, which is primarily helpful for the two bikers who you can call for backup, Clay and Terry. Along with that you'll get a phonebook with access to different characters, including two members of your gang that you can call on for backup on different missions. Just like GTA IV you get access to an in-game cell phone, which allows you to do these quick retries instead of driving back to the mission point start. For the longer missions, there's generally an unannounced mid-point where if you fail you'll start at that particular section on a retry instead of starting all over. The Lost and Damned brings a few improvements to the game, including mid-level checkpoints, one of the bigger gripes that most people had with GTA IV. It's a fun romp through Liberty City, but it's not nearly as fresh as The Ballad of Gay Tony tends to be.

If you've ever seen a biker movie like "Stone Cold" or the like, then you'll see how heavily this particular story borrows from different existing media. My only real complaint with this particular episode is that the story is a little clichéd at times. The game sets up the conflict between club vice president and president, and the story culminates in a pretty satisfying finale. Grey wants to take things in a new direction, implementing a new policy of busting heads and taking what he feels rightfully belongs to the club.
Grey has been itching to get back to business, but in his absence, Johnny has been running the club and doing an all right job of keeping things together. When the game starts up, you're introduced to Johnny as he rides to pick up club president Billy Grey, fresh off a stint of court-mandated rehab. In The Lost and Damned, you take on the role of biker Johnny Klebitz, vice president of the Liberty City chapter of the biker gang known only as The Lost. Either way, you don't need to own GTA IV to make this disc work it's a standalone purchase that remains separate from GTA IV.

While neither game is directly tied into the story of GTA IV, you'll get some cameo appearances plus a mission or two that'll be more familiar to you if you've already played the main title. While you have access to either story right off the bat, I suggest playing them in order, as there is a bit of overlap. The first episode on the disc comes in the form of the biker tale, The Lost and Damned. The stories are far more entertaining than GTA IV's core tale, so I think Episodes From Liberty City is the better purchase if you're new to the series. While the world of Liberty City doesn't see much of an overhaul, you'll have access to the same island locations, landmarks, etc., that were present in the core game. Both of these titles could almost serve as full-fledged experiences in the world of GTA's Liberty City, but combined on one disc, it's one heck of a package for GTA IV fans. Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City finally makes its way over to the PS3, and it contains all of the downloadable episodic content that the Xbox 360 received earlier this year, which means that you're getting both The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony.
