  1. I pretty much downloaded this DLC for the chance to use Kasumi, with the actual loyalty mission as more of a bonus. The character design of Kasumi is very interesting; something of a Jedi-looking ninja something or other, but I like her design a lot. I was pleasantly surprised that they didn't go the usual route of giving the character a stereotypical "Asian accent" which was a nice change of pace (nothing wrong with the accent, but it's done every time). Kasumi's powers are what you would expect, reminding me of Makoto Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell, and are very ninja-like. All in all I was very happy with her performance and she's actually quite powerful with her cloaking maneuver. The loyalty mission itself is nice, although I do wish the developers would have given the female Shepherd a better walking animation when in the casual outfit. The movement is not very pretty when in a dress, but I guess in a way a female Shepherd would probably still walk like a soldier. All in all the beginning of the mission was fun, with a nice bit of variety from the standard run in and start shooting types. Also a plus is that for those who do like to go out in a hail of gunfire, then this one will get your interest towards the end of it, and it's a pretty good challenge with only you and Kasumi (difficulty was Veteran). I enjoyed the experience and the chance to get Kasumi, but for some the price may not be worth it. Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Kasumi is one of the best designed characters in the series to this point, featuring skills and talents that later went on to get used for the 'Infiltrator' class in Mass Effect 3. Stolen Memory heads off on a tangent from the main Mass Effect story to provide you a brief break from dealing with the Reapers to recruit somebody, who in my opinion, is one of the best characters in the series (after Garrus and Tali, of course).

    It is definitely worth picking this up before starting a new playthrough and recruiting Kasumi as early on as possible.

    As a bonus to completing Stolen Memory, Kasumi will make a brief cameo appearance in Mass Effect 3 and the Mass Effect 3: Citadel DLC.

  3. I really like Kasumi and this mission it's good to have her all to myself and apart from her introduction on board the Citadel you never get to talk to her except in auto dialogue which is a shame,anyway I like this as it's not all about shooting,you can actually walk around taking in the views as well,it would have been nice if it was longer,but it made a pleasant change and you get an excellent SMG as well,this by far is my Favourite DLC but all ME2 content is better than the final game in my opinion.
