    In short, if you enjoyed the original game enough that you would like to experience more of it, than Joe's Adventures is a worthwhile investment.

    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.

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

    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.

    Brilliant shoot-outs are dulled by maddening side missions in this inconsistent add-on.

    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!

    Hardcore completists may appreciate squeezing the last bits out of Empire Bay, but all others should let this aggravating add-on sleep with the fishies. [Feb 2011, p.76]

    A big chunk of new game and a chance to play as one of Mafia's best characters. [Jan 2011, p.113]

    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.… Full Review »
