The update prompted for GTA 4 seems to have fixed the handbrake cam, no more manually centring the view behind the car when you pull the handbrake.
Perhaps, but it's worth it to cut down the jet engine noise!
Having just finished the main storyline in The Lost and Damned (65%, if anyone is wondering, having done nothing else except for one race), I thought I would give me two cents.
Firstly, according to the stats ingame it took me 6 hours 34 minutes to get to 65% and finish the storyline. Most of the missions I did first time, but there was one which I had to restart 7 times, and another I had to restart 4 times.
The story is awesome. I really clicked with the character of Johnny for some reason. I love the way the story fits with the main GTA IV storyline, with the missions with Niko, the missions referencing Niko, and additional missions which show what happens before and after some of Niko's missions.
Just driving around the city I really did get the sense that somewhere, somehow, Niko was robbing a bank, or stealing a car, or getting drunk with Roman and evading some cops. It all felt part of the same universe and timeline. And this was AWESOME.
I thought I would hate the music selection in this game as I'm not a fan of rock/heavy metal, but I ended up loving it, even more than the normal GTA IV music selection. There are some crackers in there.
After 65% I still have 11 races to do and who knows how many gang wars. I still have side missions for Congressman Stubbs and Angus, so I imagine I have at least another 4-5 hours gameplay left before I start having fun freeroaming, so I guess the reviews were about right with the 10 hour mark.
Oh, and I also have 4 out of the five achievements (Made sure to take backup on every possible mission!
). I haven't knocked 69 bikers off their bikes though, that'll come over time.

Totally p*$$ed off to be fair. Haven't completed GTA4 yet, It doesn't give you a menu option for picking which game and then it takes over your save, cannot get back to the GTA4 save session I had. Wonderful, well done RockStar, well done for the money. Should Be called Dick Turpin.
what? you can easily navigate between GTA:IV and The Lost And The Damned in the load game screen.

Not in my download, loads into lost and damned, no option to pick that or GTA4 and loads straight into lost and damned, after that, I load my GTA4 save point and it loads my lost and damned saved point. Maybe because I have installed GTA4?!!

The first time it loaded a message comes up saying do you want to play the lost and damned.
You should always make multiple saves (or at least 1!)
Im at 44% after about 5 1/2 hours, seems pretty good length so far.

Damn, thinking about it, you are probably right. There goes 20 hours of GTA4 down the tube. Still not impressed.
They most likely did exactly that. Ignore the side missions or anything else and just powergame through. Hell it's their money so I couldn't care less, just stfu plz about it being too short if they whine on forums about it
