GTA IV devoted a lot of time to unskippable tutorial missions to teach you the basic mechanics of the game but LAD assumes that you already have a basic proficiency with the game and jumps right into the fun stuff. The other nice thing about LAD's shorter campaign is that it doesn't spend as much time babying you.
While yes, there's some pretty irrelevant missions here, LAD's campaign just stays on point for a greater percentage of the time. You know what I mean - the segment of the game after you leave the first section of the city and you're just bouncing between random crime bosses doing tasks with little to no relevance to the greater story itself. First, LAD avoids the meandering middle act that plagues pretty much every GTA game. The campaign's about a third of the length of GTA IV's and this shorter length has two advantages. The Lost's leader, Billy, has just returned from a stint in rehab and his reckless, aggressive attitude immediately conflicts with Johnny's desire to keep the gang below the radar and out of trouble. The expansion adds an all-new single-player campaign starring Johnny Klebitz, second-in-command of the biker gang The Lost. However, the fact remains that LAD is as long as some $60 games. The exact amount of time you spend on it might be lower or higher than that depending on how much you enjoy the repeatable side missions (bike races, turf wars with rival gangs) and the new multiplayer modes.
Yes, TLAD costs 1600 Microsoft Points ($20) but you're getting about 10 hours of new content, here.
