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. No cutscenes (or at least very very few) and not much backstory.

Drive there, start the mission, finish the mission. I felt no emotional connection to the character simply because he didn't show any character at all in the DLC. I felt no emotional connection to the Jimmy's Vendetta was such a wasted opportunity for a introducing a new character into the game. Jimmy's Vendetta was such a wasted opportunity for a introducing a new character into the game. 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. I for one loved walking around and playing in character in Mafia 2, because of its outstanding atmosphere. 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.

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.

It's fun to be able to drive around the city, and the missions are fun to do. Jimmy's Vendetta lacks the first two points.

I bought it because I wanted to experience more of Mafia 2, which was story, atmosphere, and general mafia-related stuff. I bought it because I wanted to experience more of Mafia 2, which was story, atmosphere, and general mafia-related This DLC is pretty average.
