You must infiltrate a collector’s gallery room, which is locked behind some imposing security measures. All that being said, her mission is actually one of the most interesting loyalty missions in the entire game, to me at least. I really wish these additional characters were fleshed out more in how they integrate into and interact with the crew. There are a few objects scattered throughout her room that you can interact with and she will inform you as to their purpose or their connection to her, but that is about it. There is a bit of disappointment for me because, much like the launch-day DLC of Zaeed, another “extra” party member, Kasumi has no conversation trees while sitting in her standard area on board the Normandy.
The lead-up to the mission happens just like any other loyalty mission you’ve taken part in during the course of the main game and it is integrated smoothly, so much so that, if you didn’t download the content yourself, you wouldn’t automatically guess it wasn’t on the disc itself. Kasumi wants you to help her get it back. Her former partner and lover lost what she is calling a “grey box”, which contains some very important information, encrypted through using one's memories. You fly to your old stomping grounds, The Citadel, to meet up with Kasumi for the first time and, after a brief conversation as soon as you step off the shuttle, she joins your band of crazy people. Not that those missions are bad or aren’t varied, but this mission you go on after recruiting Kasumi Goto feels fresh and interesting. Secondly, the mission itself is a departure from the typical combat-heavy missions of the core game. First off, you put Shepherd in an awkward situation during the mission, one that she isn’t used to being in. What I find most interesting about this content is two-fold, really. Is it worth the $7 price tag? How does it integrate into the game overall? But, when it comes to paid DLC, this new character and mission is where it is at, since it is a first for Mass Effect 2. Yes, I know it isn’t a JRPG, what’s your point? I’ve been quite impressed with the rollout of little bits and pieces of free content for the game from Bioware, even so much as free missions. I would probably go so far as to say it is probably one of my favorite games this generation. I enjoyed Mass Effect 2 quite a lot playing through it for my review.
