  • Summary: 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.… Expand

    A worthy expansion that takes us deeper in to 2K:s loveley mobster world.

    Joe's Adventure is a little step ahead of the previous DLC, but original problems still remain: missions are flat and your action is quite driven. Anyway, it's always the best Mafia game available and the main character rocks.

    Pick it up if Mafia II was your favorite game of 2010, otherwise save your game time and Microsoft Points for something more compelling and enjoyable.

    Return to Mafia II in yet another unspectacular expansion pack. Joe's Adventure has the potential to be great, but it falls short thanks to boring filler missions, a lack of a checkpoint system and a frustrating timer. And worst of all, it turns out that Joe's adventure is barely worth telling. This is only for the most hardcore Mafia II fans!

    Story wise, It's an improvement over the Jimmy's Vendetta DLC. Joe is an entertaining character and it's interesting to see what he was doing while Vito was locked up. That being said, Those two things are the only good things about this DLC. The mini games are not only unoriginal but incredibly annoying. Mission objectives are just as repetitive as ever and it's frustratingly difficult many times through out.… Expand
