This is kinda old news, but have any 360 users here grabbed this of XBLM yet? It just finished DLing for me about an hour ago, and I had a little bit of a go with it. It seems a lot darker and grim than GTAIV.

Anyone played it?

I've played it... I enjoyed the bike gang aspect, where you are riding around in a group of bikers. I didn't like the new main character as much as Niko though...

I definitely think it's an excellent piece of dlc, much better than most offerings out there in terms of value for money...

Yeah, I was actually a little surprised by how much effort they had put in to offer something new. Most DLC's should be free, lets face it, especially games like Burnout - but I don't feel hard done by after buying and playing through LaD.

The missions are usually quite different to normal GTA and riding round in a gang, surprise races, and gang wars are great fun. It's a no brainer really, if you like GTA then you'll like LaD.

There is one slight niggle, and that's the bloomin arm wrestling. Seems to be there to simply feed the player $100 every minute or so, but I'd rather have a challenge, maybe a record to aim for. See you can just stand around arm wrestling all day earning money with no effort - a blind goat with brocolli for an arm could win. I'd rather have seen the difficulty and money ramp up, and it being limited to only giving money once a day. I don't want to sit, wiggling my tumbstick for $100 bills like some haggered old prostitute.

I predict that the next DLC will have you play as a cop, which I think would be great fun, actually running around with the law for a change instead of from it. I have quite a risky bet with my brother on this, if the next GTA DLC has you playing as a cop then he buys it for me, otherwise I buy it for him. I guess it might be a little lofty of me to wish for an online co-op mode.

That'd be sweet! Although Rock* might have to change the crime system a little for that...

I think there were rumours about the 2nd dlc character being this guy, due to him apppearing on a couple of occasions, like during the museum mission.

Out of curiosity, why do you feel that way? It takes time to put the DLC together. Burnout gave away a lot of free DLC, which is not typical, and now they're charging for it, which is completely fair in my opinion. The cars are not just reskins, either. They even made a hovering Delorean!

The DLC in burnout is good fun, and I did download and enjoy the free stuff, but comparatively, paying for a couple of motorbike models or a few new cars instead of new gameplay is not an option.

The bug bear for me is that DLC is simply too expensive and it takes quite a bit of justification to spend money on a game you already completed and perhaps completed too quickly. If DLC was say, half the price then I'd already have it all. Burnout Paradise as a game on it's own has hours and hours of solid gameplay for £35 - now if you buy 5 new cars for say £15 then that should (in my mind) give a good 3 or 4 hours of gameplay. You get much more bang for your buck if you got LaD instead, vehicles, gameplay, multiplayer modes...

I guess I just wish they'd put even more effort in, limit how many people can have a particular vehicle with a particular skin. If I could go and buy a car for a few hundred points that only 100 people can have, then I'd feel more justified in owning it. Right now Burnout offers these DLC's that most people will play with for a few minutes each. Burnout is great on XBL, it would be nice to see the odd unique vehicle that nobody else has.

Anyhoo, mangle mangle I should shut up and stop moaning about it - who knows, maybe they'll expand on what they already have and I'll change my mind - I'd be happy to pay for a new city or some new areas to drive around in for instance.
