  1. No matter the reasoning, "Stolen Memory" is something every Mass Effect junkie should own, if not just to justify popping the disk in again.
  2. Honestly, Kasumi's Loyalty Mission isn't that great. Also, you're only getting about an hour and a half (max) of additional content. At least the extra goodies and crew member are solid.
  3. With only a couple of minor decisions to be made and just a short shootout section there's no significant replay value to KSM, but you do get a marginally improved SMG, a stealthy, lethal companion and a snazzy new casual outfit to strut around the Normandy in. [July 2010, p.79]
  4. The combat is fun and the references are clever, but this incredibly short downloadable add-on lacks character.

  1. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved this dload.
    It was different than the main game and other dload, in the sense that you didnt have to kill everything and anyone to some degree.
    Alot of alternative options, do surveilance then distract guards.
    1st playthrough I went for a more sneaky route, I thought but ended up killing a ton of guards, 2nd play I inspeceted all the surrondings and managed to trick a guard --> 0 bullets fired.

    The SMG you get as a reward is alot of fun.
    Kasumi is a rather likeable companion, she's like a Robin Hood of ME.

    Main drawback is that its rather short, scenery is awesome but since the explore options are limited to watching a beautiful panaroma it dont offer enough.

    Given price vs fun-value I still rate it very highly

  2. 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.

  3. 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. Expand
  4. Not a necessary addition, but nice to have regardless. For the Mass 2 fanatic gasping for more (which many of us were when this was released), you could do so much worse. Expand
