Mafia II: Joe's Adventures delivers several moments of absolute brilliance that remind you of what makes the initial release so special. But these moments are too often overshadowed by aggravating missions that focus your attention on the game's flaws while minimizing its strengths. Six or seven additional hours of content that returns you to one of 2010's finest fictional cities seems like a steal at $9.99. But that's not such a good value when so much of the content is obvious padding that fails to capitalize on the main game's best qualities. That's too bad, because this add-on's best missions are awesome and hint at the great DLC that could have been.

XMNR: Games from 2K Games get the spotlight in the Xbox LIVE Deal of the Week as add-ons for BioShock 2, Borderlands and Mafia II have their prices cut in half.
I wish they would have more deals like this on the newer games that come out...All this proves is that waiting for DLC to go on sale is worth it.
I got all of the Reach DLC this way.
My only complaint with Live is--it not having Games on Demand releases in sync with retail releases. If Brink or LA Noire were to be released on Games on Demand along side the retail versions, I'd buy them. I have a lot of MS points that can only be spent on earlier releases.
TGH Writes: "It has been a while since we last visited Empire Bay and almost nothing has changed, which is a good thing. This time the great folks at 2K Games have allowed players to play through a major story arc that has previously not been available as one of the main characters to the original Mafia II storyline, Joe Barbaro. Does the telling of Joe’s Adventures fall short now that there is no mystery to what happened or does it leave the player wanting more."
I can't believe I didn't buy this on steam new years sale :(
mafia 2 plus all dlc for $10 :( Im a fool!!
as long as you dont get the jimmys vendetta DLC your good. that dlc was some of the worst ever. i played it free and feel cheated out of time. lol
I loved Mafia 2, at first i was disappointed it did not have the freedom of GTA, but soon got over it. It was a really well made game with a good story.
Is this DLC for PC too ?
