This DLC aims to add more character to the already existing villains that were underdeveloped in SM1, which I appreciated a lot. While it isn't too long, standing at around a 6 hour completion time, it uses this time well as to add to the characters of Hammerhead, Black Cat, and Silver Sabre which I appreciated a lot, as Black Cat especially was incredibly underused in the main game. The story itself was alright, nothing groundbreaking but somewhat enjoyable. Seeing Hammerheads development as a character was interesting. The bonus content while not adding much was also enjoyable. The ultimate scores for screwballs challenges are borderline impossible to get but since 100%ing the game only requires a spectacular score, getting one is definitely manageable and only took me 1 or maybe 2 attempts for each challenge. Crime bases were annoying as compared to the main game there was only one group of enemies, making them incredibly repetitive and boring at times. Their bonus challenges also are awful and specifically the final ones in the last dlc pack are borderline impossible, getting insanely high combos on enemies that are just not fun to fight. The collectibles on offer were also enjoyable to get, and hearing the audio logs around the respective characters was interesting. Overall good experience and doesn't take too long to beat or 100%. Good time killer if you have a weekend spare.
