Should i rent mafia 2

If you were too young to sing along to Dean Martin on the radio while driving along the freeway, now, virtually, is your chance to give it a try. One thing that players need to get out of their heads when they sit down and play Mafia II is that it is an open world game. Rather, Mafia II is a tightly focused, 3rd person action game that happens to take place in an environment the size of an open world game. This is an incredibly streamlined game compared to its predecessor, with its races and its emphasis on following traffic law and intricate car damage.

Mafia II has been simplified for a console audience and the result is a game that beats out the standards of storytelling set by its predecessor, while falling short in gameplay because of balancing issues with the content and its pace.

The biggest culprit is the driving. To say that driving makes up the bulk of gameplay is not an understatement, but whereas the original Mafia was almost a simulation, with its painstakingly rendered 30s cars, its realistic damage models and strict police, driving in Mafia II has been given a more arcade-y feel with better handling, faster cars, and police that can still raise a fuss but are easy to lose with a quick change of clothing or license plates.

When on foot, the action is competently done in the cover-based shooter with regenerative health style of expected in modern games. All of this culminates in Mafia II being a game of mixed virtues. On the other hand, there are a long stretches of inactivity that involve just driving from one point to the next in a large game-world almost entirely devoid of side missions, barring some collectibles like Playboy Magazine centrefolds, Wanted Posters, and activities like robbing stores, or stealing cars for extra cash, but money is plentiful and almost unnecessary in the game anyway.

Instead, there is a fascinating but flawed game with a great story and a world that needs polish. At hours with no multi-player, this can be finished in a dedicated weekend so gamers are advised to rent it or wait for a sale. A Fun Life of Crime. Wayne Santos Oct 18, Final Thoughts. More From CGMagazine. I understand why people dont like either. Because I am not 10, I also respect other peoples opinions and value their opposing views.

I dont feel the urge to smash someone online, because their opinion is different to mine. Grow up Tom. All of those games has shitty graphics! Great games though! Then you have no sense in reality. I just bought it this weekend and … Mafia 2 is one of the best games this generation.

The amount of detail in this game is remarkable… There are not too many games that are on this level. I hate autosave! I loved the first Mafia and I remember that it too was linear, there was no free roaming except an occasional side mission. Free ride extreme was fun though. In comparison GTA IV was longer, but the basic formula was not much different: — go to a map point — watch cutscene — drive — kill — drive — repeat.

Mafia had good actors, good graphics, gameplay was good, and it is a good game. And my PC could handle it. I fully agree with you!!!! Mafia 2 is a great game I thought. That ending has me waiting for a Mafia 3 to come out!!!

I played Mafia I as a kid, got it from the local shop. If you know how to drive properly then this game is brilliant. The cheerful atmosphere is meant to be there after you have done your time in the cold, dark prison.

One thing I agree with you is the physics engine creating enormous lag in some cases. I think your all wack. The game was freaking awesome. It was worth my money. I had no bugs. No problems, i played the story and it was Perfectly Fine. Ok, Mafia 2 is great great great game. And did I mention that it is great? I didnt got a job at KFC to earn money to buy videogames like these. Mafia 2 thumbs down. When i read ppl saying that Mafia II is one of their favourite games i really,…..

I drove half day to that place to earn after beating 2 guys and carrying crates and then have to drive back to my own place. Ok the thing about this game is, it is trying to tell you a storry. The next time I read a web-site, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as significantly as this one.

I mean, I know it was my option to read, but I basically believed youd have a thing intriguing to say. All I hear can be a bunch of whining about a thing that you could fix should you werent too busy looking for attention. Oh lighten up, its the best game Ive played in a while.

I play the game for a good storyline, shooting, driving and playboy, not for standing inside a house. Your problem is that your comparing it to GTA. Just got the game on saturday and beat it to day.

Like the story line.. Cars are ok, and the ending sucked.. The other thing i hate is that you cant go back and do side jobs and get Wanted posters and more PlayBoy centerfolds.. Just wish you could go back in the game and do alot more…Hope mafia 3 is way better and go back after beating the main stoy. AND the shittiest of all is the dam ending.. What I find annoying the most is every single mission start and end makes you drive to and from the destination. Also, most of the missions make you drive from point A to B.

Best mission? Loading a crate into a truck or picking cigarettes from a box and tossing it to the fat guy. Really fun real life simulator! Saved me a few bucks on buying this game. Was keen, but a lot of bad reviews here. You guys are talking about the real life in the game. Yeah, it seems right when you died bump by a car.

Bull shit! I really enjoy the mafia game and the mafia2 really makes me disappoint. Hope mafia3 will have improvements. The visual quality and textures were of a standard you can expect from any game. I definitely would have waited if I had known that 2k games were pressuring 2k Czech into releasing faster by dropping gameplay functionality. The storyline was also pretty poor and could have used some more work, as well as being much longer as well. Why all the hate? I thought it was fantastic.

The gun play is great and responsive. The driving is realistic. And the story overall left me wondering in a good way. I will be buying Mafia 3 when it comes out. Down with haters and nVidia I thought that the driving was done really well — you just have to be careful with the throttle, because those old cars are heavy and carry a lot of momentum around the corners.

That being said, the ending really did suck. I feel cheated. You need to stop being a hater this one of the best games ever,make your own game if you hate it that much and stop blogin. Your sapost to take cover when your geting shot at,and you wouldnt run out in real life and stand there shooting without cover.

This is made by 2k,not Rockstar. Yea the only thing was story line was to short thats it only thing. I got the add ons and the game is a beast,one of the best games ever.

Mafias back then were killin left and right if it wasent part of the deal then you didnt get it. Joey Vucaviano. Lol… the whole point of getting killed easily is to make the game more real life like and to make characters like fucking iron men really wouldnt make a game more fun in my oppinnion since tt would be a no brain shooter game then …. And honestly if u got killed in every chapter or every corner u really have wasted those 15 years of gameplay since u couldnt obviously play….

I wanted more personal dialoge from vito, like having a life outside chapters, i did like at first, how the story went on, the years changed with the culture, like the cars music and clothes. Easy achievement points! Good game, bit short. Preferred Godfather part II as you had more control and worked your way up to a big bod to control the city! Lame story … nothing says fail like a mobster in prison scrubbing toilets … moments later hes gotta fight off bubba so he dont get booty pumped….

I have never read a more nit-picky review in my life. It bothered you that it takes two blows to break into a car window?? Jesus H. And I typically stay away from any type of shooters because I am horrible at them, but I got accustomed to the controls quite quickly. Mafia II is easily one on my favorite games. Well, i don t know about the graphics, gameplay or whatever average but the story is exceptional. The plot, everything…. When you look at it, it s a classic mob story, and that s why the game is called mafia????!!!

I think that the game carrys a strong message. And yes, te story is incomplete defintely. This game effing sucks!!!! They dropped the ball big time, so much hype and excitement waiting to be released and its all crap. Mafia 2, the ONLY things that made it semi interestinng was being able to store as many cars as you wanted and tune them up performance wise, and rob stores for cash and ill even throw in being able to change clothes if you want if that is even something to get excited about There is nothing to do in this game except 15 missions…which at best are gay cause you are driving miss daisy everywhere.

I did this 3 times the whole dam chapter! The same thing happened to me in regards to the nonappearance of Joe. Then what I realized is you have to go down the stairs, and go left of the fire, Vito will be able to climb over the wall, where Joe is.

He means right down the bottom when the mission is almost over. The fire part is obvious how could you get stuck there? Reviews should be made after the game is finished. The game had a lot more to offer in the full version than the demo. And I found the demo level to be a lot more enjoyable in the full game. I completely disagree with most of what you have said here.

I respect your opinions, but I thin that Mafia 2 graphics were mediocre, the gameplay was good, and the game was really fun. Personally I love the game. The only problem is that Mafia 2 is too fucking easy! I have to agree with every word the reviewer said. Shame on you 2K Czech. You should have invested more time in fixing the rough edges. The Ai is atrocious. Those 2 things killed the fun for me.

The guy stand next to a car, and after several times pressing F he finally decides to get in. Same with building, and missions.

The driving itself pretty much ruined everything for me. Go back to the drawing board. Other things that annoyed me. Players walking and getting stuck behind doors. I had to restart missons over and over because of bugs like this. Another one was at the greasers location. When I went to the falcone restaurant, got my orders came to leave you have to line up Vito exactly so you activate the E button and exit.

Also the driving is just horrendous. Every single turn you practically spin out. I was so nauseous from the camera angles try to over compensate on every turn.

Too many bugs.. Vito staring at the wall while answering a phone.. Everything is so robotic. I thought I was going color blind by the horrendous use of colors.. Cut scenes have bugs. Like the jackets on some of the people seem to have spazms. What a shame.. No, not walk, they simply slide. Specifically, when joe came to open the door down in the hotel they came to blow up, and he simply slides to the door.

Another time is when we get to the 18th floor and the good escorts us to the first door. He simply slides to the side of the table with chairs, next to the window, and Joe again get stuck at the door. I always have to wait up for him or walk back to make him catch up. These are smallt hings that annoyed the hell out of me. I got so frustrated dealing with stupid bugs instead of enjoying the game.

To all the morons playing down the problems in the game, 1, you either have very bad standards of what a good game is, 2 you either work for the company or are paid by them to post positive reviews, or 3 you psyched yourself up so much that no matter how bad the game is you were going to enjoy it, or 4 if you paid for the game you were going to enjoy it no matter how horrible it is. Very bad programming.

Ea seems to be the worst as they just dump garbage upon garbage to the public. All NFS games are unpolished and released before the bugs are addressed. Cop cars going sideways really was the last straw.. You should not expect it to be a GTA type game. I loved this game and think its been judged way too harshly. There are some really good aspects that out weigh the bad in my opinion e.

I understand that there are cons to this game; it is short and there is limited gameplay but I think the pros of this game far outweigh the cons. Its really disappointing to see people just slam the game needlessly, without pointing out any positives. I think this game is being compared way too much with other similar games e. I just finished the game…When mafia 1 came out at ps2 with the big map included etc.

I enjoyed the game but with so many buggy things,little story.. I dont know if it meant changes to be made so there can be a deal with steam.. Well I agree with some of this review I guess, but I think you guys might have been a little too harsh on it in some aspects. I really loved playing Mafia 2 and definitely enjoyed the environment in the game. It soaked me right into the mood and provided a great city to lounge about in.

Broadsiding cops off bridges, blowing up cars and gas tanker trucks, robbing stores and gas stations and taking out street gangsters is all great side fun to the main story. There is plenty to do in Mafia 2 if you have the imagination to get things rolling. As for the story, it was better than most games imo and I felt like i was reading a book that all of the characters were in.

I enjoyed the ending because it left the entire thing wide open to a DLC or sequel or something like that. If the ending pissed you off, then you obviously were enjoying the storyline. Give us a goal to reach and give us hundreds or thousands of ways to complete that goal. I loved being stopped for speeding, hit and runs and assaults on the street.

It all added to the criminal feel to it and the very realistic and challenging hit deaths made me pay for my mistakes while running around on my crime sprees. Ill trade less then an hour of work for countless hours of fun any day of the year. You guys are so stupid. You shuld have more freedom in the game also a bigger map next longer game like 30 chapter not 15 also more clothes hair styles and car fixes cuz thus is to be u an u shuld be able to do wat u want with him an get more drunk manet be able to buy drugs to use but in general the game culd be way better like gta 4 like tht big at least.

Just finished this game the ending sucked ass! I loved the game and I thought the ending was absolutely amazing only because the game makers set them selves up for a great to be Mafia III title. Or at least a great premise to start on Mafia III.

I found the ending to be sad and meaningful. Dont diss on a great game just because you feel the need to hate it in all reality you didnt. They made a map and what appeared to be a detailed game world, and then squandered it. Virtually no side tasks, no deviation, no reason to drive around and explore once you realized there was absolutely nothing there waiting for you. Of course I stopped collecting money, weapons and clothing because the game repeatedly took it all away from me.

Mafia was great. Mafia II was a tremendous disappointment. I will likely not buy a third unless and until it gets glowing reviews. I really liked the story!!! No way of Free Explorering the world.. And go Stunt for fun…. All your money gone gone gone.. Just Story End of Game. Sad Sad Sad here..

Well, i sat and messed around with it for 4 hours this evening. Full version at a friends place. But the writing for the main storyline was pretty good, from what i played, it gave you a bit of a reason to like the character.

It drops off quick. Voice acting was great, but the story started getting flat… The whole part about his sister and mom could have been SO much better played up for a side quest or 4. The game is incredibly linear. One of the great things about more modern games like just cause 2 is being able to attack priblems in a different variety of ways, based on how you like to play. This was very straight ahead and you pretty much did things how they asked.

Money seems like an afterthought in the game. I didnt have much use for it. Car customizing was interesting, but again, like a lot of people i didnt like the driving. Cars felt unrealistic. And floaty…. And on that note, the driving is also too long, i agree, driving across town to nap is BS!

Overall, i stick by my previous reviews for the most part. Voice acting is good, and story starts off compelling, but a few hours in, meh. If you are super hardcore fan of the genre, it might keep you into it. As long as you arent expecting nuch in the way of sandbox play. Mafia II started off as a great game, you could see a lot of thought went in to the immersion as you returned home from the war..

People talking in the street, a shop owner paying protection money behind closed doors, the cat in the apartments, the cleaning lady and occupants…repairing the ladies car in the street. Wow, I can turn a light on and off, why bother with that kind of detail when the game does not even cycle between day and night.

Great concept, but no chance of using them in the game as it stands. Since playing the excellent first Mafia game and since the announcement of the second game, I have been eagerly awaiting the launch to play it. Graphics are great, voice acting is excellent as already said earlier by lots of people but I got to say that the open world concept of this second episode really comes short. I hope, if they make a third one, that the makers listen to us gamers and take up our advice.

I will surely read and watch reviews the next time a mafia games comes out to see if they fixed all this, otherwise, I may download it instead of buying. Just my humble opinion off course….

But as you wisely stated at the end, the game masks their flaws very well… because it has good things as well, REALLY good things like the splendid voice acting and a good starting script which, however, decreases its quality like a rocket mid-game. The thing that is really unforgivable is the lack of a free roaming mode at the end, even considering that the story ends like that, so it would be perfectly normal.

But… I see your point. Why would be a free roaming mode after the end? To collect Wanted Posters?? And yes, the end of the story is horrible. Because I was really sucked in the game at first, but just after you exit the can… pfft. You may enjoy it and see all of its plus points. I felt the game was way too short and after completing it you then had absoloutly nothing to do afterwards.

I liked how you could order food and drinks but there was no entertainment to go with it i. It needs the development that consoles get, because they can target a bigger audiance and make more money.

You have one thing right in your comment, the game. Check what Xbox or Playstation 3, what they use. What kind of graphic card, processor, soundcard etc. And then compare in the market, what you can get.

I played mafia 2 on the pc and i loved the main story and the voice acting. I got so sick of driving across town just to sleep. Games like GTA and Red Dead are way better because after you beat them you can still have a ton of fun playing them. If mafia 2 was made by rockstar it would have been insane. But instead a company that makes sports games made it and thats why it sucked.

The Godfather games were way more fun!! Not least is the fact that you actually pick apart a post which you think is moronic. Picking apart a well constructed and thought-out post has merit.

I played the original game years ago, and still have it. I just finished Mafia2 this evening. All I can say is you are all a bunch of cry babies and have no idea how much work it is creating a game like this.

This game is a bit linear, but you can choose to not go through the story so quickly and just have some fun. The gunplay is very well done, and a lot of fun. You can easily go back into this game and have fun again and again. Who ever says the graphics are shit needs to make their mommy and daddy buy them a PC. I run a modest system that can be built for fairly cheap now phenomII 3. A car sitting under a street light at night looks very natural.

The lighting is some of the best in a game, easily. The textures are fantastic for the most part, trees look phenomenal, and colors are very bold and very nice to look at. So what if this game is colorful? Is the real world dark and shitty just because there is violence? There is color regardless. I only ask for future content to add replay value to the game, like more interior locations, some more jobs, and some interesting locations in general to visit and have fun with.

The only thing I can say about the ending is, this could be a setup for future DLC to see the rest of that ending, the way it should have ended. We need more content, more unlockables, a few more missions, and a better ending for the future.

And they all do this for our entertaintment only? You pay money and you want to be satisfied.. And this game have none of it…. First of all the pro of the game: -the graphic, the light, also the weapon system the fact also that some gun miss so much as they should do is pretty good. No secondary job. They dun know how to follow,shoot,capture,block you in any way. Kinda low in my opinion. However it comes out to be just a fail. Well… if seven years are needed to make a game so unfinished like this one, let me cry at my fullest.

And to think that Dungeon Keeper III was cancelled because Bullfrog wanted to focus on the PS2 market… to make more money selling simpler games to the kids, I suppose…. You think this is World of Warcraft, pal? They took your money already, and have no intention of fixing anything now! I think that at this point in your comment you were finally realizing what the BIG problem of the game is…. I really had fun playing it. Even Mafia I had a free play mode with A LOT of side missions to get rare cars, and all of that even considering that the main character dies at the end!

I understand what you say. The game is good. We had higher expectations, much higher for seven years of development. Mafia II is a good game. I enjoyed it. You can compare it to them, but its pointless and stupid because they are totally different games.

Good Store, exceptional action, and very accurate portrayal of what life was like in New York in the 40s and 50s. A good amount of the game is stealth as evading the cops as well as performing some missions requires you to sneak around unnoticed.

Dialogue and cutscenes are excellent, the graphics are very good you need a decent computer with a good Nvidia card. There is a good graphic and weather effect.

The 15 mission are good, nothing to say. On the other hand there is nothing except the mission to do in it. However if you try for the first time in medium difficult they are just a bunch of idiot, you kill them easy, you run away without any problem, they dun even know how to stop you when you are in a fking uberslow car.

I played it through on hard first time. LoL, mafia 1 failed cause you did not take enough damage, but it was better overall with the story and characters.

I just finished the game. It is simple a fail. The IA is completely idiot. And the ending…omg…never saw a worst ending ever no spoiler dun worry. It would have been cool with free roaming in the end of the game and that reminds me I hate the ending becuse of whats happends to joe. And like in the middle of the game you loss your Money House Youre Clothes, Other then that its good.

I like how in GTA u can run around and kill cops and civilians after the ending…. The graphics are great and realistic driveing and ammount of health I happen to find refreshing however some may not. I found very few flaws with this game. It played a bit like GTA, but with an immensely better story and not so much boring fluff. Here are some flaws… Apartment on the 3rd floor is just annoying. Missions you are forced to loose Restarting a mission puts you way on the other end of town.

How about a gas gauge 2k idiots! DLC was worthless. Your partner has 3 trash talking lines and uses them over and over. Its just plane bad. I know what will fit on a PS3 disc and a xbox disc. I think the demo download was the whole game with the walls removed. A blu-ray disc holds 50gb and they only used 1 or 2gb. What a rip.

Apart from 14 new missions, the whole empire city was dead beat. This was good because it meant I could play the game on my laptop. However, in the end after a good mission there is no option to free roam it just puts you back at the main menu.

This really ticked me off since I wanted to do some of the extra things and find some wanted posters and magazines lol I guess the only way to free roam is to re-load a mission. Not being able to wander around after beating the game is the worst thing about it. Wait a couple months before you buy this and let the price go down. Plus -Very good history and characters, unprecedented in a video game -Good gunfights and driving -Amazing graphics for a decent computer.

You will most likely regret it! As for 2 shots kill, its the part I love the most. I havent played first 1 jet tho, but I prefer this game to any GTA. And cmon unlocking cars is the fun u dont just look at radar and steal a car u have to plan the whole thihng through. Mafia 2 is very well done.

The actual release that is. I do not know what you played but the way they captured new york during war times and the great depression at first was very well done. Just because its the mafia does not mean it had to be dark. It was trying to capture the mood of the times. Which it does VERY well. Car handling is great also for what cars there are. Do you expect a T Bird to handle like a modern ford. Your one of the punk asses that QQ because all the cars do not handle balanced like an arcade racer.

The only legitimate debate you give is the shooting. Its a bit annoying but nothing horrible. Resident evil delivers worse. Seriously though I dont know what you expected but go watch the godfather. Its a bit more than your outlook with this so called Dark and Gritty world. I did enjoy Godfather II better than the first one. Are you guys trolls or what? Jesus christ. This is one of the most graphically impressive games in the past 10 years. It rivals Crysis. Furthermore, the cinematics and writing and storytelling are way above the bar.

Kudos to 2k and fuck this idiot. OK, this game is actually pretty good. I did the same, nothing to compare with the first one. The pity is that I completed it two many times and now ….

Red dead is way more fun!!! Waited almost 3yrs for this game.. Very unhappy with the demo. The mechanics of the game feel clunky and awkward while driving, shooting, or even just walking around. Of course i had the original mafia on PC..

Consoles just suck at most shooting games. Get a job, you fucking lazy kid. The main reason that pc gaming is in decline is because of hardware, Laptops, and retailers like PCworld. Unlike the old days, PC games today have very high hardware requirements to be playable the way that a developer intended a game to be. I hate console ports but this was well-tuned for the PC.

The vehicles are going to act different in fact this is how cars a ment to be drivin at the time u cant just E brake And slide every where, u got 2 slow down n take the turn.

They eat breath and shit this idea. You sir are not intelligent 2 do this well then why wonder why ur Death rate is higher then your kill rate. I do agree graphics could use some work but atleast they are not horrible. Faster engines better controls? Fuckin rims and paint jobs??? Why dont u wait for the product to be released before you start spewing 0pinions all over the ground, u should get a mop and clean that shit up. I agree with every word u just said, it is all true, although i do think camera angles do need 2 be fixed, but lets not forget the demo Isnt the FINISHED Product so guyz get off the developers Dick and lets them finish the job.

If you fools are seeking realism go out and do these things on your own time. Go outside it seems the majority of your have lost focus in the gaming industry. The first priority is having mindless fun for hours, not too see if you can have a wife and kids within he game and whether or not the wife acts like an actual woman in real life. Its a god damn game. THe control was shit. I played it on PC, so that might be part of it, but the control on PC is shit.

As to complaining that i am saying the game sucks because of the demo, YES!!!!! I played the demo and it sucks, so by proxy, the game sucks.

I prefer the world in the game to be realistic, did not like Kane and Lynch or army of two or any of that genre, but like i said, in reality I can drive a car, I can walk from my kitchen to my living room and I can obey traffic signs… none of which seems possible with the crappy control. I would have really admired the game if it was totally realistic which it is not. It looks like a shallow arcade game that wants to LOOK realistic. Yeah man this game is way to realistic, I was shooting one guy, and I ran out of bullets and it was telling me I had to reload.

I have to reload in a game. I should have infinite bullets. This game is also lacking zombies. I would really hope to see motorcycles in the game to. AND theres no ray guns. I read that whole thing jake. After I read this authors rant, its really obvious he does not like realistic game. Some one should remove his rant, simply because hes not thinking of others, I got a xbox live friend, who plays nothing but that mafia II demo, its funny because he only gets 10 mins, but then he just loads the demo up again when his times up.

Well after playing this demo, it seemed pretty promising. I think I will go with a review from a more trusty source, IGN. No i dont want to pretend i have a wife and kids in the sims pretending its real life, i already got that but teenagers Eat that shit up, Because they enjoy just like you like hitting zombies with bats and shooting them up in a mall.

You dont like the game then fuck off, if not that save us the time and jump in front of a bus. I played the demo for literally 5 minutes. Right away I knew this was a horrible game Nothing looked right. Looked like a cheesy poorly made rip of GTA. Worst game ever…. More like lame cartoon wannabe mafia. Im doing it right now. Felt clumsy and cartoonish. The aiming was clumsy, and being a fragile girlie man made out of paper ruined any fun i could have had.

I realize they want it to be tough and realistic, but i just got bored and gave up instead of finishing the mission. I just quit, i had no desire to complete it. Having a powerful pc means that everything moves fluidly, so the environment has no slowdowns, but vito runs like a waterhead who took cold medication. The driving sucked ass, I could barely drive in a straight line.

Bad combat, bad manouverability, bad driving… is this game a punishment for being a fan of the genre? I didn;t walk down the street guns blazing and expect no cops to attack me. I tried to safely drive my own car down the street… which caused cops to chase me. I tried to evade them, but the control was shit.

Wow, I never had that problem. Both Mafia and Mafia II have their bugs so far and its reasonable, but driving is not as diffcult as you said it is. It is difficult to run from cops, so I drive to a clothing store, kill everyone in the store, and take cover.

Then I wait for the cops to come in and kill them too. Then I rob the register and steal clothes, giving me a new look and cops off my tail. Other times, you have to have a fast car, so either you soup it up at the shop, or you drive on an open road with a decent car like a Smith Mainline.

The Cops do report your car and your stature if you actually listen to the game once in awhile, and you get a wanted poster sign and wanted plate sign. This is Mafia. Mafia is placed in the s and s. The cars, the voice work, the sounds, the dialogue, the music, the atmosphere and scenery are all historically accurate.

This is a good game. The action scenes are fantastic, the fights and the gun fights. Taking cover is ideal, recoil is accurately implicated. This game is fantastic. In the intro there is a Nvidia Logo, hmm where did that come from? Free market? Please… there is never a free market, its two giant competing against each other, and Nvidia is winning. All in all, at least an 8. This game is very good and realistic. There are 15 missions, pinups, playboy mags of that era, and artwork.

Worst game ever? So I am very pissed at this game, one of the biggest game dissapointments along with Just Cause 2! Back in mid-June, I preordered this mafia ii because I was impressed by the trailers and what not… To my surprise, about 15 min ago my demo finished downloading then I started playing it! Little did I know that this game was a piece of shit! I literarly played the demo for no longer than 4 mins!

Anyone know about that game LA Noir? Lol you pre-ordered this? I played the demo, it sucks so bad. I was planning to download the demo and try it out since I had enjoyed the first one. But upon reading your review of it, no thanks man.

I will just waste my time with it. Thanks for the warning. Even though they cant or will not read your article, they lost one gamer. Do not just take his word for it. It takes less then 15 minz 2 download and its free, I personally enjoyed the demo and recommend that you atleast try it. Good day sir! Your email address will not be published. Here are some in-depth details on why the game called Mafia II sucks :- Graphics Mafia franchise is always meant to be dark, gritty and serious business.

Gameplay I could have lived with worse graphics if they had given me better gameplay to go with it. The list for gameplay issues is endless and I am not going to list them all here. Conclusion With every company concentrating on development of console games, I will say that this is another sacrifice of a great game that used to be a classic.

Just play the demo yourself and check it out! Edit : All right guys, I just finished the full game after investing 11 hours straight. The ending totally sucks. They have improved the gun play and graphics a little but the driving is still horrid. A new thing I just discovered is that the game world is very very empty. There is nothing interesting to do except doing missions one after the another too linear I must say.
