I'm all for giving you new storyline's where you take control of different characters. I still haven't played the original Mafia 2 yet, though seeing all this Jimmy DLC and now Joe, it's making it look all the more appealing with so much content. With that said, I'll least be waiting till I find Mafia 2 at a discount price so then with the price of the DLC added in I won't feel cheapened.
Anywhoo, the DLC. No surprise from the title, it places you in the role of Joe Barbaro, Vito's joke happy sidekick during the time that Vito is in prison. I don't know if that's before the story, or amidst the story or what, but it's more the content that's signalling my interest. As quoted from 2K:
''Joe’s Adventures offers an engaging narrative and allows players to explore new locations, including a train station, the cathouse, a boat yard, a seasonally changing lakefront and some never-before-seen buildings in Empire Bay. This exciting new chapter in the Mafia II saga includes new clothing, collectibles and even more classic 40’s and 50’s music. In addition to the story-based missions, Joe’s Adventures opens up a slew of optional city-based quests packed with arcade action gameplay and a points-based system that allows players to move up the ranks on the online leaderboard through combos and multiplier bonuses. Deadly executions by head shot or charged explosives rack up points, and precision-timed vehicular power slides, lofty jumps and feats of supercharged speed maintain the adrenaline-charged fun for extensive replayability. ''
Overall, it sounds good and if it'll be as cheap as the Jimmy DLC, it's a sure download for me... one day.
