    If you need more stuff to do in Empire City, Mafia II: Jimmy's Vendetta serves its purpose, but it's nothing amazing.

    Jimmy's Vendetta packs plenty of content--six-plus hours, easily--but you'll feel like you're getting your $10 worth for only the first hours or so. [Nov 2010, p.81]

    This add-on is a hollow return to a distinctive city.

    Jimmy's Vendetta delivers some fun, but suffers from repetitive missions, frustrating difficulty spikes. All in all a completely average experience.

    Why 2K Czech decided that Mafia II needed DLC that turns the story driven game into an arcade one is unclear. It doesn't fit the gameplay, it doesn't have the controls and Mafia II without a story really isn't anything worthy of your money.

    this add on is a pretty good addition to the game it loosens the tight grip the story has on you in the main game and lets you run wild andthis add on is a pretty good addition to the game it loosens the tight grip the story has on you in the main game and lets you run wild and behave like abit of mad man, so closing comments are if you liked the main game but you wish it was abit more like gta then pick it… Expand

    Mafia II: Joe's Adventures dlcsiyle aynı yorumu yazacaktım fakat Mafia II: Jimmys's Vendetta hikaye olarak bi tık daha iyidir Mafia II: Joe'sMafia II: Joe's Adventures dlcsiyle aynı yorumu yazacaktım fakat Mafia II: Jimmys's Vendetta hikaye olarak bi tık daha iyidir Mafia II: Joe's Adventures için yazdığım bütün yorumlar bunun içinde geçerlidir

    I was going to write the same review as the Mafia II: Joe's Adventures dlc, but Mafia II: Jimmys's Vendetta is a bit better as a story All the comments I wrote for Mafia II: Joe's Adventures apply to this.

    Mafia II: Joe's Adventures İçin Yazdığım İnceleme/My Review for Mafia II: Joe's Adventures

    Mafia 2yi severim ama bu dlc kadar sıkıcı iğrenç bir oynanış görmedim 1. ana oyunla alakası yok ara sahne denen birşey yok basit bir ekranla görev menüsü yapmışlar ve saçma olan kısmı bu dlcide orjinal oyundan daha çok bug var

    I like Mafia 2, but I have not seen such a boring and disgusting gameplay as this dlc 1. It has nothing to do with the main game, there is no such thing as a cutscene, they made a task menu with a simple screen and the ridiculous part is there are more bugs in this dlci than the original game    … Expand

    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
