It doesn't necessarily help matters that Vendetta's bare-bones storyline eschews the cinematic presentation of Mafia 2's main campaign in lieu of text-based mission briefings.

A few different mission types including vehicle theft, property destruction, and assassinations utilize game's solid driving and shooting mechanics well however, even though some of them take place in parts of Empire Bay that you didn't really explore during the main campaign, none of them feel as fleshed out as the missions in Mafia 2's main storyline.

Various mission icons appear on your city-map, to be completed in groups of three, before a new set appears. They ultimately feel like side-missions that could have appeared in Mafia 2, but didn't. The gameplay in Jimmy's Vendetta focuses on a few different tasks. In a nutshell, he's a fairly generic gun-for-hire type that's been betrayed by both the Irish and Italian organized crime rings, who he worked for in 'The Betrayal of Jimmy.' So who's this Jimmy character, exactly? The bald mercenary, described as 'the guy the other guys call when they need to finish the job,' didn't appear in the original Mafia 2 storyline. (Don't worry, playing 'Betrayal' isn't necessary to enjoy what 'Vendetta' has to offer.) That said, the latest DLC is the first piece of content available to those who didn't buy the PS3 version of Mafia 2, which included free access to 'The Betrayal of Jimmy,' a DLC chapter that takes place before Jimmy's Vendetta.

Jimmy's Vendetta is technically the second piece of downloadable content that developer 2K Czech has released for it's recent mob-romp, Mafia 2.
