A solid DLC campaign. It did have some more mission variety than the main game and the emphasis on biker gangs did lead to some fun main and side missions across the board. Having friends that can give you bikes and ammo is cool. The shootouts in the optional gang wars and in the main missions also are a ton of fun. The system of gang members levelling up I felt wasn't really apparent

The story was enjoyable but kind of an unfocused mess not giving it's multiple plot threads enough attention or rushing through them like the Lost civil war or the issues with his junkie girlfriend. It did have some good writing, Johnny's voice acting can range from just fine to kind of overdoing it. He also was not really anywhere near as compelling as Niko and didn't really have as strong of a narrative hook to make him stand out with the other GTA protagonists.

I got to say the constant missions ending with four star police chases started to get annoying. In GTA 4 you need to take slower turns as it is to avoid your bike slipping and turning properly, but in scenarios where you have to outrun all these vehicles coming from every direction I had two missions where it felt like it took ten minutes for me to get lucky to get out of the police zone which was just too much.
