Usually I'd write up a review for this boorish shit, but I can't even be bothered to complete the damn thing! So I wouldn't think it was fair exactly. It's a fuckin' joke what they tried to have people believe this was! You also unlock some extra safehouses as the 'story' goes on, but anyone can guess just which safehouses you'll be unlocking. The ''new clothes and cars'' are also but 'one' new car, and a bunch of the same clothes just in some new colours. oh all the while with more of those gang members appearing out of nowhere blasting you to your death very instantly as you drag Marty along with no way to equip a weapon. what? You don't pick him up, you'll drag his corpse like animation to your car. Once you reach Marty, Joe'll hilariously say ''It's me, Joe'' like he's just rung someone up on the phone who didn't his know name, only to then be forced to ''drag'' Marty's body to your car. One mission where Joe is to save Marty has him head to the subway to get shot at randomly for no apparent reason by the gang who's kidnapped Marty (how do they know who to shoot?). The story is mostly non-existent so that alone takes away a great deal of the motivation Mafia's 2 missions embarked, but some of the missions themselves are just plain freakin' broken or hilariously inept. The missions themselves aren't even all that fun! They're all timed, as of course you're aiming for the BIG SCORE!!!, so you're always looking to get each mission done ASAP. Joe's Adventures does have the odd bit of story, most of which was already shown in its trailer disappointingly enough, and what is there is incredibly half assed with terrible writing. It gives you the same 'arcade' style shit with text based missions and leaderboards to which noone will bother trying to get themselves noticed on - and with good reason.
If anyone's played the Jimmy DLC they've pretty much already experienced what Joe's Adventures has to offer. Joe's adventures did peg to have itself a strong story oriented experience set amidst Vito's jail time in the main game though that was all just a ruse to cover the incredibly shallow and meaninglessness affair that is.Joe's Adventures. It's story was what motivated most to bear through the many miles of going from point A to B over and over.
Mafia 2 was a game that had far too much driving across an empty world with shooting that had some real oompth and style, but was still overall rather generic. For anyone who did ponder such a purchase or is at least intrigued from spotting it over the PSN or XBLM, I can tell you right now. It was released a while ago now and no doubt there was many people even aware of its existence let alone planning to buy it. I didn't even have the game and yet the idea of playing as Joe in a story centred role just sounded brill! I already liked Joe from the trailers and such for being a total poster boy for cliche' Mafiosos. I was really looking forward to Joe's Adventures ever since I heard it was announced.
