He’s quirky and not just the main villain among other villains. The character is well-acted, well-written and overall as enjoyable as a messed up violent bastard can be. In particular is antagonist and The Lost MC President, Billy Grey. Thankfully, other characters standout from the “required” feeling of Johnny. He’s no saint, but he isn’t a Charles Manson like some reviews have portrayed him to be. Johnny does at least has some kind of a conscience his questioning of the ethics and practices of his fellow outlaws makes Johnny “The Jew” more than a gunslinger with a leather jacket. It makes sense to have a Liberty City native guide players through a new look at the same place.
Klebitz is nowhere near Niko’s unique blend of sarcasm, persistence and heart, but Johnny works well because players of TLAD aren’t experiencing Liberty City for the first time-they’re returning to it. Johnny as a whole is a serviceable character with a job to do: He kills, he has friction with the recently rehab-released club president and he’s rough. The strongest parts of IV, the characters themselves, are prevalent in TLAD but weaker than those seen previously.
There are still lots of conversations, vendettas, personalities and buddies to visit, although this time around you’re not pestered to take everyone on a “man date.” Niko Bellic’s misadventures serve as a template for Rockstar’s new protagonist Johnny Klebitz, vice president in Liberty City’s chapter of The Lost Motorcycle Club, meaning the feel and tone of GTA IV have largely remained the same in TLAD. (Character) Assassinations on a Custom Chopper The wait has paid off as The Lost and Damned is worth every single Microsoft Point of the 1600 it’s charging, even when considering its few missteps in delivery. So here’s where we are, under a year after the release of the fourth numbered installment in the franchise, and the Xbox 360 Live Arcade has its exclusive first piece of downloadable content. Jet pack biker wars, anyone? It’s fortunate then that Rockstar altered the series’ formula to accommodate more cinematic stories without jumping right into the next sidestory title. Imagine a think piece about brotherhood and the testing of loyalties within a hardcore motorcycle club written in, say, a Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas voice It would’ve been too ridiculous to be relevant. If Grand Theft Auto IV hadn’t set the precedent for Rockstar’s realistic and serious direction for the series, The Lost and Damned would’ve been a complete mess.
