There are quite a few nice little Easter eggs throughout too, and it opens up a new section of the Normandy with a bar where Shepard can unwind and mix a drink or six. Stolen Memory is short and won’t take you much more than about an hour to plough through – but it’s one quality hour.
Her Shadow Strike ability results in one-hit proximity kills on lesser opponents if she can get into range, and she gains a Flashbang Grenade ability after her loyalty is gained. In terms of combat, Kasumi also poses a fun new addition to the team, even outside of her loyalty mission. In keeping with Kasumi’s character, Stolen Memory mostly consists of covert sneaking and investigating in an attempt to gain access to a locked art vault. Kasumi’s mission deviates from the overt warfare typical of most other Mass Effect sidequests. What Stolen Memory does contribute to the Mass Effect 2 experience, however, is variety. As such, Kasumi and Zaeed feel like much shallower characters than the rest of Commander Shepard’s team. However, as with Zaeed, you don’t get the opportunity to interact further with Kasumi throughout the rest of the game. The best comparison for this download is to the existing Zaeed character package: it allows you to recruit a new member to your team and then embark on a loyalty mission specific to that character. However, in order to sustain Kasumi’s loyalty, Shepard must assist her in one last, personal heist. Stolen Memory is the story of Kasumi Goto, an enigmatic master thief contracted by Cerberus to assist Commander Shepard in the suicide mission central to the plot of Mass Effect 2. The problem EA faces with this is that the free downloads have actually been rather impressive thus far, so Stolen Memory really has to step it up to be considered worthy of outright purchase. After sating Mass Effect 2 gamers’ appetites with a decent amount of free downloadable-content packages, EA has finally released its first paid one (save for the paid Alternative Appearance package).
