In one sequence, a decapitated head-the camera lingers on the bloody image for a few seconds-is found inside a box. Blood often spurts out of injured characters, stains the walls/ground, and occasionally sprays onto the screen. Players use pistols, machine guns, baseball bats, Molotov cocktails, and grenades to kill enemies and occasionally civilians. Many of the missions require players to engage in criminal activity: stealing cars, robbing banks, taking out drug addicts (beating them with a baseball bat or shooting them), running drugs and guns, and killing rival gang members. Players complete various missions that either advance the main storyline or award the player with in-game currency and connections. Set in the world of Grand Theft Auto IV, the game depicts a vast urban landscape which includes a criminal underworld that the protagonist must navigate through in order to progress. In The Lost and Damned, players assume the role of Johnny Klebitz, a member of the Lost motorcycle gang in The Ballad of Gay Tony, players control Luis Lopez, the body guard and assistant to night club owner "Gay Tony" Prince. This is an "open-world" action game in which players choose from two distinct storylines: The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony.
