Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned

gta tladThis is the game that kids will love to play. My son really like the earlier version, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, when I first bought it due to the open, non-linear environment that allows him to explore and choose how he wants to play it. Although completing missions are required to progress through the game and also to unlock certain parts of the map and content, players can take their time and complete them at their own leisure.

However, due to the mature contents, intense usage of vulgar words, and the way the video game promotes violence, I only allowed him to play for a while. I told him that I will get a copy for his 18th birthday :) It’s a hot game but only for the appropriate age. GTA is rated M for mature.

Grand Theft Auto IV was released for PS3 and Xbox 360 on 29 April 2008. Then, the Windows version on 2 December 2008. However, Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned, the first of two episodic expansion packs of GTA IV, is developed for Xbox 360. It was released on February 17, 2009.

The Lost and Damned is built upon the characters and story featured in Grand Theft Auto IV. In this installment, you are Johnny Klebitz, one of the leaders of a biker gang in Liberty City, The Lost. Will players like Johnny? They seem to be warming up to him so far. Gamers can customize how rough and ready he really looks.

Gamers will also love the new scenery and scenarios they get to experience as Johnny. There are 7 different venues to choose from in the game. In one venue, Chopper vs. Chopper, it is you on the bike battling another opponent in a helicopter. As you race to pass checkpoint after checkpoint, you are being shot at by a relentless chopper from the sky.

Fans of the original Grand Theft Auto IV will also like new additions like weapons. Bikers get to balance while shooting their fellow opponents using sawed off shotguns. During the races, each player gets a baseball bat that they can use to clobber those who stand in between them and winning. Like the original, the game is action-packed. Remember, it’s a game. Mimicking GTA in real life will get you into prison.

With the Xbox 360, the high definition feature makes the characters more realistic. It’s really cool on a 42″ HDTV. GTA series has been known for its great storylines, graphics and the music. Jam to the beat as you race through the near-deserted streets of Liberty City with new vehicles on new missions worthy of the name Grand Theft Auto.

GTA series has thrilled a lot of gamers already and this one will thrill you too. Get one if you are in a mood to kill somebody.
