    Terrible. Let's be honest, the star of Mafia II was the story. The gameplay and the controls were average at best, and frustratingly awful at worst. This DLC comes with all of 4 story related missions. (The story by the way makes no sense) To boost the gameplay "value" the devs added like 20 arcade style side missions (which are actually required to continue to the main missions, so theyTerrible. Let's be honest, the star of Mafia II was the story. The gameplay and the controls were average at best, and frustratingly awful at worst. This DLC comes with all of 4 story related missions. (The story by the way makes no sense) To boost the gameplay "value" the devs added like 20 arcade style side missions (which are actually required to continue to the main missions, so they aren't really side missions at all) None of which were enjoyable in the slightest. One of my biggest complaints for the core game was its appalling save system i had hopes that this DLC would rectify that. What did they do? They COMPLETELY eliminated any checkpoint system in the 20 side mission. On your way to the "safe zone" to finish a 10 minute side mission? Crash? Start at the beginning again! It's immensely frustrating. The good: After you finish all the missions, you are allowed to walk around the city and replay any mission you want, which is nice. There are also like 15 or so new Playboys to find as well. Yeah, that's about all of the good. Basically, it's a bad DLC and you shouldn't spend very much, if any of your money on it. Get it when it's on sale if you really have to have it.… Expand

    Boring, one water... Endless arcade missions for a while. Only 3 missions really touch the main plot. Everything else is monotonous assignments from various characters. In general, for those who feel sorry for tarting time - pass by. Those who have not played enough of the main plot can play.

    Joe is much better character than Jimmy but its still a rip off from the original game.

    While there are "proper" missions, most are plotless busy-work. [Mar 2011, p.87]

    What's new in Mafia 2: Joe's Adventure, as the narration and Joe himself as main character, work just great. The problems are all related to what was already be implemented into Mafia II, as the IA and an extreme linearity of the missions. For those reasons the whole experience is a mixed bag advisable to everyone loved the original experience.

    Brilliant shoot-outs are dulled by maddening side missions in this inconsistent add-on.
