Joe's Adventures

Joe's Adventures is the third story DLC in Mafia II.

Overview[]

Joe's Adventure puts the player in control of Joe Barbaro, taking place in 1950, while his best friend Vito Scaletta is in prison. Joe uncovers the truth behind Vito's prison sentence and what's really going on in the Clemente Crime Family.

Background[]

Joe's Adventures continues the prodigious crime drama through the eyes of Joe Barbaro, Vito Scaletta's best friend, during the six years that Vito spends in prison. The DLC extends the original narrative of Mafia II by combining a dramatic storyline with intense arcade-style gameplay that opens up several new areas in Empire Bay and items for players to get their hands dirty with.

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 40s and 50s music ^[1]

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. Executions by headshots 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.
