Mafia II Re-Release Includes All DLC

The word about the Mafia II “Director’s Cut” package has been on the street for a while, but now 2K Games has made it official: the publisher is indeed putting out an all DLC-inclusive, cheaper ($30) version of the title across all three of its platforms, the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. 

On the consoles, Mafia II "Director’s Cut" will receive the platform’s respective best seller branding, which changes its name to Mafia II Greatest Hits on the PS3 and Mafia II Platinum Hits on Xbox 360. The PC version is the only one that’ll be actually referred to as "Director’s Cut" on the packaging, but all three will combine the same content: the core game, its three content-lean downloadable add-ons, and its four, once retail-exclusive “style” DLC packs.  

• The Betrayal of Jimmy: Players take on Empire Bay through an alternate perspective of the mob through the eyes of Jimmy, a mercenary. Jimmy is the guy the other guys call when they need to finish the job. The Betrayal of Jimmy features dozens of intense arcade-style, city-based missionsthat keep Jimmy driving, shooting and rampaging through Empire Bay. 
• Jimmy's Vendetta: Once the mob's most effective ally, Jimmy is now its greatest enemy. Fueled by rage, Jimmy takes on Italian and Irish mobsters in a slew of unlockable city quests, including assassination and timed vehicle pursuits ending in dramatic shootouts. 
• Joe’s Adventures: Play as Joe Barbaro as he rampages through Empire Bay in the wake of Vito Scaletta's prison sentence. Joe must uncover the traitor who betrayed Vito while overcoming the challenges of moving up the ranks in the mob. 
• Four Style Packs [Ed. Once retailer-exclusive] including Vegas, Renegade, Greaser and War Hero - each with two cars and two suits for in-game use.

I really hope they call it "Mafia 2: Game of the Year Edition"

Bleh, all of the DLC was bloody terrible.

this is stupid as hell.

How the hell can you be so fast?

So, they released the fairly empty game. People bought it. They used the money to develop actual content and released it over that year and now are finally releasing a completed game all over again?
 
Mafia II was the most beautiful non-game ever. It's too bad it was so linear and empty.

A.K.A., The Edition That Should Have Been Released in the First Place Edition.

It's how games should be released in the first place. This inspires me to just wait out the L.A. Noire hype and pre-order shenanigans and wait for a GOTY edition. "

If I were them, I wouldn't want to throw around the term "director's cut" since it implies content that was available when the original was made but was scrapped and put back in later.

Maybe I will actually check this out now. If nothing else I really like the setting.

This is how they should have originally released the game. $30 price point and all the DLC. Maybe $39.99... 

Blood from the figurative stone.

I'll buy ten copies!

It still won't break even.

Sweet now I will pick it up for sure.

Now I might finally pick this up during a Steam sale. I've passed when regular Mafia 2 was dirt cheap a number of times.

I really liked the main game. The DLC wasn't anything special

after beating this game (and enjoying it) i've no interest in touching it again in 50 years 
 
nothing about it deserves a second playthrough. neither the story/gameplay nor the open world fun (or lack of it)

" If I were them, I wouldn't want to throw around the term "director's cut" since it implies content that was available when the original was made but was scrapped and put back in later. "

Which retailers are the select ones?

i bought this game full price with both dlc's now i feel violated

i'm a big fan of open world games but will stick with the brotherhood DLC for now.  keeping my fingers crossed for la noir -- loved gta but haven't been able to get into red dead yet.

You know, I'd have probably liked this game a lot more if it were not a free-roamer.  That style of game adds a lot more expectations that Mafia II could never meet. Killed the overall experience for me. 

And I still don't plan on buying it.

Is this game considered worth it with all the DLC at that price point If considering I've never touched the Mafia franchise but have played plenty of open world games?

" If I were them, I wouldn't want to throw around the term "director's cut" since it implies content that was available when the original was made but was scrapped and put back in later. "

Well then, this is the version I'm going to play.

No....just no.

i might pick this up because i lost all my achievements for mafia 2 whenever i got my internet back and at the time i couldnt  be bothered going through it again and sold it. the game was ok but not brilliant

Does this add any actual meaningful game play to the open world or is it just more of the same? 

Fuck I just bought this game! and the DLC! Damn it. Oh well its a great game.

I really don't mind paying $30 for Mafia II and all its DLC, even if the game is so-so. At least some fun hours I'm sure! "

That's a downer considering I bought all of the DLC for the game but good at the same time because more people will be able to enjoy the game!

Having a 25$ gift card to  Best Buy makes this the greatest news ever.

Hmm,good thing I didn't buy the game earlier then.

lol you think I am actually gonna be re-buying this game just to place some worthless pieces of DLC?  
 
No : ) 

Glad I waited before buying this.

Will probably pick this up.
