2nd time worked on Three Leaf Clover... Kiki was a big help during the getaway, even though I only remembered her after clawing my way back to Broker.

I'd be curious to hear what choice people made with regards to the Playboy X/Dwayne question. It was an easy decision for me.

I took Dwayne's side rather easily myself. I think he must be the older brother of Debbie Downer, though...

Kiki almost makes the game too easy.

Credits just Rolled...I took My time ..Taking in the sights.

I got Three Leaf the first time but had to do a few that were supposed to be easy 3-4-5 times.

PX/Dwayne was easy for Me too

Without giving anything away I thought the ending left a little to be desired and didnt feel like any real closure...but that might have been My choice???...or Rockstars?

Overall I thought the game met the hype and is a blast and I havent even joined you guys online.

I am looking forward to the downloads.

From Gamespot:

Grand Theft Auto IV DLC due Feb. 17

Rockstar delays, dates, and details 360-exclusive "Lost and Damned" add-on to crime-action blockbuster, which will follow all-new biker-gang protagonist.

The bad news: Rockstar Games has officially confirmed that the Grand Theft Auto IV expansion will not arrive in 2008. The downloadable add-on, which will be exclusive to the Xbox 360, is now set to launch on Xbox Live worldwide on February 17, the same day as Street Fighter IV in the US. No price has been set, but the expansion will require the original game to play and will presumably share the same hard M for Mature rating.

Now, the good news. The expansion won't be a smallish bit of DLC, like Mass Effect's single-mission Bring Down the Sky. Titled "The Lost and Damned," the add-on will leave Niko Bellic behind in the Manhattan doppelganger of Algonquin and focus on an all-new protagonist. According to USA Today, Liberty City's newest antihero will be Johnny Klebitz, member of the biker gang known as The Lost. Based in the New Jersey clone of Alderney, the Sons of Anarchy-esque motorcycle club had some run-ins with Bellic--who will make a cameo appearance--in the middle section of GTAIV.

"Johnny is a very different character than Niko, with a very different background," Rockstar vice president of creative development Dan Houser told USA Today. "I can't go into too much detail on the story, because we try not to give away too much plot before the game is released. But I can say that the story will show you a different side of Liberty City."

In addition to the new storyline, The Lost and Damned will also sport new weapons, vehicles, and multiplayer modes that have yet to be detailed. In an official press release, Rockstar said the add-on will also feature a whole new soundtrack, with new types of music being added to GTAIV's myriad radio stations.

Last but not least, the expansion will be the first of two 360-exclusive episodes Rockstar North is making for GTAIV. "Making these episodes has enabled us to expand the narrative and the experience of interacting with a game world in really innovative ways," said Rockstar Games founder Sam Houser, brother of Dan, in a statement. "We hope fans of the game enjoy the new way of experiencing life in Liberty City contained in this first episode." No details on the second episode have been announced.

It took over an hour to get it downloaded.

Its a new story line with a new character. Played a couple of missions....Quick impressions...Lots of language and its easier to ride bikes.

greggsand · Post by **greggsand** » Wed Feb 18, 2009 1:16 am

I can't wait to check out the new online modes as well. Basically, my whole friends list has it. I'm prob around 70%.

Very cool...If ya liked GTA IV you are gonna enjoy this.

Off work today so I finished Lost and Damned and really, really enjoyed it. I thought the cast of characters was really interesting - the guy who did Billy Grey's voice acting was fantastic. I loved the ways the story intersected with MACTEP Sporta's story. Er...sorry, I meant Niko's story, Niko.

The credits are also really cool as the show a bunch of different intersecting sequences from the two games.

I thought the "acting" was even better in Lost & Damned than Lib City, too. I haven't finished it yet.

I agree, the interactions between Billy and the main character Jonny were really well done. I also liked the length of the story for a DLC add-on.

I'm really hoping that one of the next planned Liberty City DLC packs has you playing as a cop - I think that would be really neat.

Very interesting idea.

Im going to try and finish the game this weekend...I am stuck on one mission. Howd you blow up all the vans with the bombs?...Ive tried it a few times and I keep blowing myself up.

I just held down the LB button to 'cook' the pipe bombs and just zoom past each van dropping it at the last minute as I pass it.

That said I don't think you 'have' to use the pipe bombs because for one of those vans I got knocked off my bike, got up and shot it with a rocket launcher and it still counted.
