absolutely phenomenal DLC, johnny is a great protagonist and while not as amazingly written as niko he's still a great character to follow through the story. seeing events of that diamonds story arc in GTAIV from johnnys perspective really adds a lot to the base game especially seeing his reactions to all the lost MC deaths that were caused mostly by niko in the original game. the mission romans holiday caught me so off guard as it added context to the mission hostile negotiations from base game. but where the game really shines it's the lost MCs main story arc with billy grey, the dynamic between him and johnny is amazing you can notice the tension between them as early as the first mission i thought that was neat and man that last mission was really hype, nothing better than breaking into prison to kill a snitch ass mf and the new gameplay elements really enhance the experience

first things first this game adds the much needed checkpoints that the base game lacked which really made getting through the game much more fun and less unnerving. the new vehicles and weapons were all pretty cool but the weapons are the highlight for me, the new shotgun and that drum gun are just so satisfying to blast all thanks to the games physics combined with amazing sound design. there's also new activities though i only tried air hockey and racing which were lots of fun, whoever thought of adding the ability to smack people with a bat on a bike is a genius.
lastly idk if it's just me but physics have been slightly altered, normally bumping into anything in a bike in base game at any speed just sends you flying it seems they rectified that a bit which is very welcome! overall 10/10 experience, looking forward to a 100% maybe
