The only way you get stronger is through some bumps to your health and blade mode meters. You don’t get to purchase any upgrades or new abilities, so the move list is the same at the end as the beginning. Sam’s arsenal isn’t very big when you first begin, and it stays that way. The moves you use may be slightly different, but it’s the same song and dance. You still want to hack away at bad guys, block their attacks, and wait for the opportunity to chop them up in Blade Mode. Sam is a badass, and his quick draw moves are cool, but that isn't enough. While these are neat additions, they don’t drastically alter your approach to combat. For instance, he has a regular dodge roll, can charge his heavy attacks, and has a double-jump.
The main reason to play Jetstream is to experience playing as Sam, who has a slightly different approach to combat than Raiden. Setting my issues with the Rising’s core gameplay (of which I have several), Jetstream is just a shameless cash-grab. Unfortunately, Jetstream is a disappointment on every level. Jetstream Sam is the closest thing to an actual character in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, so I was looking forward to seeing what new tricks he brings to battle, and how this DLC expands on his backstory.
