When I was playing as Vito, I was trying to polish off a section of his life and get to the next bit of story. This focus on gameplay is a nice change of pace as the missions in Vito's Mafia II story almost seemed like filler between cutscenes. Drive over there and kill a bunch of fur thieves, steal this certain car and get it to the docks, and blow up these marked gas trucks. There's a bit of story to this - an opening cutscene recaps the basics of who Jimmy is and each mission begins with a paragraph about why you're about to do what you're doing, but for the most part these tasks are bite-sized versions of the Mafia II gameplay. Complete the quest, and all that action is boiled down into a score and letter ranking. You have to finish the job before the timer ends, and as you fly around Empire Bay blowing dudes away, you'll bank points for headshots, kills, speeding, and more. What's an arcade mission in the Mafia world? Well, you'll roll up to a floating icon, accept the mission, and a timer starts.

Unless of course that was a perfect setup for a sequal where Vito goes after Leo and Tong for killing Joe.Play Whereas the game you know from the Mafia II disc follows the story of Vito and his best friend Joe, Jimmy's Vendetta is a $9.99 download that packs 30 arcade-style missions for you to jump into from the game's main menu. I mean, if it was me, and I knew a guy that had single handedly taken down at least two mafia crime families, I think I would leave him and his friend the F alone.

Then you go to the observatory, and you rip through all of Clamenty's men to get to him, and kill him too.Īnd right after doing that what does Leo and Tong decide to do? Kill your best friend. And after killing every living sole in the building, you walk out the bottom with an arsenal of guns. You start out at the top of a highrise building, being tortured, with no weapon. You find out Derek killed your father, so you rip through his men, including a car full of mafia backup, kill a Mafia enforcer, just to get to Derek so you can kill him too. I mean Wong killed Henry, so you walked right in his headquarters, killed every single living thing in the building, and shot that fucker right in the head at his own desk. Now, you've also proven to them that you WILL fuck up anyone's shit that wrongs you, your family, or your friends. You've proven to them that you are an unstoppable killing machine, that killing is what you do best. You've ripped through waves and waves of their best men in the process. Ok, though the course of the game you have killed multiple high ranking crime bosses, including two from the highest families.
