   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Второе дополнение, повествующее о Джимми, существующем в Эмпайр-Бэй как в параллельной по отношению к Джо и Вито вселенной. Геймплейно ничем не отличается от предыдущего дополнения: заказные убийства-угоны-уничтожение объектов, заказные убийства-угоны-уничтожение объектов. И в конце Джимми наконец свершает свою Вендетту, а мы видим единственую локацию, которой не было в оригинальной игре, провожаем героя, который уходит "в закат" и так и остаемся с этими небогатыми впечатлениями.… Expand

I bought it because I wanted to experience more of Mafia 2, which was story, atmosphere, and general mafia-related stuff. Jimmy's Vendetta lacks the first two points. It's fun to be able to drive around the city, and the missions are fun to do. However, it is not fun being told how you should do them, and that is what this DLC does: it forces you to finnish them during a certain amount of time so you can accumulate points and get a spot on leaderboards. This idea is nice, but it would be much better if they implemented a way to turn off time and points, so players who wan't to do the new missions at their own pace, can do that. I for one loved walking around and playing in character in Mafia 2, because of its outstanding atmosphere. All of that is taken away in the DLC where you crash into your opponents, explode things and headshot things as fast as you can to get a higher score before the time runs out. Therefore I rate it averagely.… Expand

   Jimmy's Vendetta was such a wasted opportunity for a introducing a new character into the game. I felt no emotional connection to theJimmy's Vendetta was such a wasted opportunity for a introducing a new character into the game. I felt no emotional connection to the character simply because he didn't show any character at all in the DLC. Drive there, start the mission, finish the mission. Rinse and repeat. No cutscenes (or at least very very few) and not much backstory.
   
   I feel like this side-mission style gameplay would have worked well if it was added to the base Mafia 2 game, to give Vito a little bit of free roam, rather than being stuck in a linear storyline, albeit a good one. You have to have a strong storyline to anchor these mindless shoot-em-up segments, otherwise, it turns into what this DLC has become. Do this do that. Shoot this guy. Steal this car. Beat this guy up. I feel like an NPC that just appears to finish a task, and then disappear.
   
   As the opening sequence of the DLC goes, got a problem? You call Jimmy. In a jam? You call Jimmy. That pretty much sums up the entire experience playing as Jimmy. An NPC simulator.… Expand

   Horrible DLC, some missions should be included in the original game, but were ripped of to make more money.

   Mafia 2 had a strong story-line, and while there wasn't very much else to do in the game-world in terms of side-missions, the quality of theMafia 2 had a strong story-line, and while there wasn't very much else to do in the game-world in terms of side-missions, the quality of the story made this somewhat forgivable. Jimmy's Vendetta is nothing but side-missions. Jimmy a character who is never seen or mentioned in the main game, is out for revenge in a wafer-thin...there's a couple f cut-scenes to set this up and then the rest is just nothing but side-missions. there's none of the great characterization that made the main game so enjoyable just moving from location to location shooting some people stealing some cars...rinse and repeat.
   
   The missions themselves are boring dull and repetitive, and most take place in the open world environment rather than in buildings or set pieces like those in the main game. This makes shootouts a pain as the is very rarely any good cover (which would be nice since your shooting mechanics are cove-based) and enemies will often circle around and shoot you killing you quickly. It's clear Jimmy was supposed to have been Vito, they haven't even bothered to give enemies new dialogue they keep calling Jimmy (a 40-50 year old tall bald man) "Kid".
   
   Had these missions been part of the main game, it would of probably pushed the game up a little more. On their own as £6 DLC they aren't worth the price of admission, had a new interesting story been fashioned around them it could have worked but it's clear this was rushed out cut content with a minimal of changes to make it seem as if it was a new adventure.… Expand
